Ch. 23 Fight for Love Part Three
Yup it's the third and final part to our beloved couples fight and I do hope it lives up to expectations. I tried my hardest to make it enjoyable but we still have some way to go before this story is considered complete. I originally wanted it to be a piece of fluff with some fights thrown in but as you all can see it actually evolved into a full-fledged plot driven story that people actually enjoy. Kudos to everyone for helping to make this fic one of the best!

Marius growled before crouching on his legs and shooting straight up Alduin, who only laughed before taking off on her own. While he still had to struggle somewhat to fly, she flew almost effortlessly as she led him on a wild chase where she let him get oh so close to biting at her tail before she moved and shot forward leaving him getting angrier as she flew circles, literally, around him.
'Almost like a real mating flight...sadly it is not time for pleasure yet.' she thought as she turned abruptly and shot straight for him. Marius was completely off guard at this and she took advantage by sinking her teeth into his exposed throat as he roared in pain before detaching and flying off again.
He wasn't prepared for her to turn around sharply and sink her teeth into his neck and when it happened he couldn't stop the pained roar that escaped his maw. As quickly as she bit him she broke off and flew some distance away as he had to shake his head to get focused before shooting straight at her while she wasn't expecting that quick of a recovery.
When he dove at her she dodged but he was able to clip her wing and smirked when she gave her own painful roar before turning her glare onto him and shooting after him. On and on this went, they dove at each other in an attempt to bite or claw each other with increasing difficulty as she had the natural ability to fly but he had the unorthodox style that kept her trying to plan ahead.
At one point he got close enough to use his newly enhanced Fire Breath shout but that only served to anger her and made her retaliate with her own Fire Breath. The next time he threw a Frost Breath but she merely countered by dodging the blast using her tail as a club and smacking the softer scales on his stomach that drove the breath from him.
The next time they passed he pulled a power play and instead of meeting in the middle he swerved at the last possible moment and the spines on his tail ended up stabbing her through the stomach before he shot upwards and tore two large gashes in her stomach that left her in serious pain and with blood oozing from the wounds but the pain was blocked out by another part of her...lust. The desire to dominate him, to make him feel like he was in intense pain before she replaced it as much pleasure that he would begging for her to continue. To make him complete submit to her was her ultimate goal but to make it come at the moment where he believed he had been triumphant would make it all the more sweeter for her but first she had to bait him.
"Is this the best you have Dovahkiin? You might as well just bow to me if you can't handle an air battle like the rest of the Dov." Alduin taunted as he dived at her from above but she executed a barrel roll and shot after him when he passed.
"No because I can do this!" he shot back before waiting for her to be almost on top of her before pulling up sharply and her body collided with his before he rolled and dump her off of him while she was dazed. He watched in satisfaction as she plummeted toward the ground before a large cloud of snow was kicked up and obscured his vision of her. Thinking he had won, he let out a loud roar of triumph that felt extremely satisfying but it took his eyes off the ground and he missed her coming straight at him and biting into his wings with wild abandon.
Marius reared back as her teeth sank further into the thin membrane and blood began to ooze from the punctures as she tore free and her claws tearing into his side made his mind go numb from the pain. Struggling to remain airborne Marius began to panic and flail as her teeth found his other wing and this time she literally tore an entire chunk off when she let go and the damage was done at that point. His mind became a rolling mass of pain as a long and loud pained roar was heard for miles and his strength failed him as he fell backwards.
Alduin saw him start to fall but it wasn't enough for her. She wanted his last sight was to be of her standing tall over him the entire time and she had the perfect course of action.
Speeding down to his falling form she took both of her clawed dig into his exposed skin as far as they could as she pressed her full weight onto his form and rapidly increased rate of descent. True to her thoughts, the last sight Marius had was of her smirk as his body felt the full effect of unyielding ground.
'I...I...lost...' Was his last thought as he finally and mercifully blacked out to stop the pain.
-Alduin POV-
'The setting sun is so beautiful this time of year.' Alduin thought as Marius's dragon form burned away to reveal the human side with deep gashes, cuts and scratches across the majority of his body. She debated on leaving him where he was but the cold temperature and snow wouldn't be healthy for him as Paarthurnax gave an audible sigh that actually startled her for a moment as she forgot he was even there.
"You have won Alduin, the fight and the terms are yours." Paarthurnax said as Marius laid unmoving in the cold snow.
'As if he even doubted I would; I half expected him to flee from Skyrim and force me to hunt him down. Still he did last for almost a full day...' she trailed off as she looked at the fallen Marius before a tail appeared in the corner of her vision and nailed her in the softest part of her jaw and she collapsed to the ground before red scales and eyes appeared in her vision before she blacked out.
-Marius's POV-
The sight of her eyes going wide before they closed filled him with more pride than he ever thought possible. That look would be burned into his mind for a very long time as he stood over her and let out the loudest roar that he had ever achieved to this day as his conquest laid unmoving beneath him and his prone form disappeared into thin air.
"I almost thought that I wouldn't be able to pull that off." I said as Paarthurnax gave a chuckle. "Remind me never to make two specters ever again as the amount of energy needed was far more than I ever expected to give."
"Alduin was...narrow-minded in her eagerness to fight you. Better to use that eagerness to your advantage than have no other way to win." Paarthurnax stated as I grimaced before he felt the Shout starting to wear off.
"That almost could've been the real me right there." I stated as his form changed back to normal. "I guess this victory belongs-"
"To me." Alduin said from above me before a claw pinned me to the ground from behind. "A bold plan Dovahkiin but I have more mastery over the Thuum than you could ever hope to achieve."
"How?" Was the simple question I wondered as she used her claws to turn me over to face her.
"The moment you take your eyes off the prize is when you lose." she stated as I frowned in thought before it hit me.
"The moment you hit the snow." I said simply as she grinned.
"As I said, the victory is mine. Wah kroniid bo liivut." Alduin said as Marius snarled.
"Then kill me and get it over with." I shouted without fear as she continued to grin.
"Kill you? No...you are far too valuable to kill. You are mine Dovahkiin and mine you shall remain!" she said before she shouted. "Laag Praan Tum!" When the Shout washed over me, my body instantly shut down completely.
-Third Person POV-
"Leave us." Alduin said to Paarthurnax before he took one glance at Marius before nodding and flying off leaving Alduin alone with her newest conquest. She stared after the old dragon before wrapping her claws around Marius and taking off to the East towards her own private grounds. She had to eat and her new mate needed to rest as much as he could before the night to come.
What better time to mate then under the moonlight after all?
And cut and ship it to print!
I know it came out lackluster and I had such a good build up. Good I feel like crap after this but after numerous power outages and spending two entire days in 100 degree heat to clean a yard didn't making it any easier. Still I did what I could and I honestly don't think it's that bad but you all will be the judges of it. I hate making excuses for my bad work so again I apologize.
As I said though, fighting scenes are not my forte still so I have a long way to go on them but for right now I think I did ok. Don't think that this is their last fight though because this is two people destined to fight at every turn so expect more from them in the future to make up for this.
Nothing else to say except I apologize if this was completely lackluster but I hope you all enjoy it nonetheless.
