Tales of the Dark One's: The second elder scroll
"Hey where are you going?" I questioned wanting to know what he was doing.
"Going to Toldfir he might know something about and elder scroll." He replied while mounting Ralph.
"And you didn't think about talking to me first? My mother took an elder scroll with and I have an idea of where she might be but we have to talk in private and I know just the place.
"You're hiding something aren't you? Why did you get locked in a crypt Serana and why is your mother in hiding? Look when we get there you need to talk to me and be honest otherwise I won't be able to trust you… " I spoke firmly and I don't blame because by getting into this he's now in deep shit and he should know what's going on but…
"You don't understand!" I had to interrupt.
"… Look I'll make a deal. When you tell me something you're uncomfortable about I'll tell you something." He offered.
I consented to this and we made our way.
When we got outside it snowing heavily and the cold bit and stung my face on impact. There it was the abandoned side of the castle where my father could never hear us or see us with his spy's, which I knew were watching us. The door creaked when we entered having not been touched in centuries. I sat down on a rough bit of rubble next Kiaramon.
"Right so what's the deal with your parents?" He demanded more than asked and I couldn't blame him.
"My father wants the elder scrolls because of a prophecy that he could block out the sun…" He was amazed at me mentioning this "… and me being a daughter of coldharbour he could use my blood to achieve and my mother, she ran away protecting herself from my father." Letting it out felt awkward but good at the same time and he understood.
"Well me now so I can't tell you much but I am 3000 years old Serana and not because of my powers its from something else." There it was again that something else that he would not tell me. I wish he were perfect but evidently not. "One more question why were locked away so long."
"To protect myself from my father like my mother did, I didn't really have a choice in the matter though. I wish that my family could come back together but that's not my father back there and well I can't even trust you." He seemed upset at my last words.
"That's the problem I really can't tell you because if I did you would leave my like everyone else did and I if I get rid of my curse I would die." He had a point but I could probably handle it unless…
We made a silent agreement to leave it alone and get on our way and by going through the castle deep in thought I suddenly remembered.
"I haven't told you where the hell were going!" I exclaimed sort of embarrassed by my foolishness.
"I just liked walking with you and was glad to continue but sure where are we going." He said it calmly almost as if he gave it no thought and lightly spoke what his heart told him.
"I think my mother is still in the castle in her old laboratory because she knew that her father would never give the place a thought and it just seems like the right place to hide."
"Your onto something Serana so you lead the way." As he said this he unsheathed Doraki. "Yes I am unsheathing this because if you're father was that powerful even I would have top notch security and none of that ADT motion detector crap." And with that we were off.
Kiaramon
Dark one why are you ashamed of me, I am your power and you should boast to the girl of me.
No you are my curse and my burden, only a monster would bind with you.
You call yourself a monster but you are a champion and you only adopted the darkness so what is there to worry about Halfling if you told her she would throw herself all over you.
No she would run from me like the rest of them and never see me again, leave me alone Durnehviir.
Oh but I will see you soon Vul Gein.
What does he mean? Oh well I shouldn't worry about him.
"Right I think there might be some druagr through this door so prepare your weapon alright. Also, its alright if you don't want to tell me something and I'm glad I talked to you by the way." She said.
"It's a pleasure of mine Serana and I'm really sorry I want to tell you but I can't. What's good is that you told me about everything and I know it must be hard for you so I really appreciate it." I confessed, it must be hard to live in a world where you are split between your parents both neither really caring for you.
"No it's my pleasure really."
"Just open the goddamn door." I joked.
When we did I had one thought.
Shit.
The hall was cold and dark but at our entry the fireplace roared and lit while dozens of skeleton and druagr start to move and shift around the hall making groans and other horrible noises. Although, there ere many fully armored tough looking druagr staring at us it was the dragon priest in the middle of the hall that caught my eye. Slowly he rose piecing back together and finally his eyes turned red through his mask Konahrik. This was not good due to the dragon priests power combined with Konahrik.
"I'll take the dragon priest while you hold off the others." I whispered trying not to make commotion even though they already saw us.
Serana just sprang into action by knocking down the first skeleton aiming at her. She used her great sword and swung down on it making it crumble to dust and ash.
What a blade and what a girl.
Almost dazed I forgot about the dragon priest propelling itself at my neck but she was so beautiful. She knew this and smirked while I had to dodge to the side of it. She had just beheaded a druagr white when I gave her thumbs up and an 'I got this look' beneath my hood.
With that I swung up Doraki to meet the priest's daedric mace. I knew I could rip it to shreds but I would have to tap into the darkness and if Serana saw …
I blocked the next attack waiting to counter but it was so fast but I was faster. I meagi flipped off the ground and gave the priest a hard head-butt nearly breaking its mask. Now my instincts kick in and I become aware of everything. First, backflip off steps and onto table as it swings its mace and then dodge it as it flies at me. Result it lands in the fireplace and burns, conclusion; a job well done.
I decide to help Serana but hacking down most of her foes and back-to-back we fight although I forgot one vital thing. Thus, the dragon priest emerges from the fire unscathed.
"Bugger I forgot that Konahrik has a chance to restore you to full health when about to die and since this dragon priest wears it so much he must be able to do it on command!" I shouted over the noise.
"You retarded twat!" She yelled back.
She continued to fight and I went back to the priest. I parried and dodged and killed but it always cam back until it disarmed me with a shout and all I could say was; "Serana HELP!" but she was still being swarmed with druagr no barging in through the rest of the castle.
It started throwing fireballs and ice spike that I dodged until one struck me in my chest.
"Shit, it hurts so much!" I screamed in agony. It then proceeded to raise its mace. I can use the darkness and rip off its mask but then Serana will know my secret unless…
"Sorry honey." I whispered and then knocked her out with a paralyzing spell. The rest was easy, I let the darkness flow through my veins. Durnehviir and I spoke as one; "You shall not see dawn for you may lie in eternal darkness and may you stay there to rot!" Our voice rang through the hall and disintegrated all the undead and the gargoyles with our power. To be rid of the priest I ripped off the mask and then it attacked so I commanded the black mist to hold it there frozen and then I gripped its neck with my hood coming off (even this thing should see his killer) to reveal my black eyes and my hair and cloak whipping in the black mist. I hen sucked the life out of it and there was no more dragon priest.
I let the darkness leave my body feeling energized with adrenaline pumping through me. That was only half of my power because the castle would have crumbled under my true might.
Now the ice spike started to kick in and I collapsed with my last view being a woman very much like Serana dragging me away…
