Ch. 33 A Goddess Takes the Field

Wow...33 chapters, shouldn't this have ended by now? I guess it's because I still have things to do in it but I digress I still love writing this story and don't wanna see it end just yet. That's not to say I just wanna get it over with as the last few chaps have been lacking but I am trying so give me some credit at least.

Still a total lack of Fem Aldy and Male DB stories and hell there are a complete lack of any female dragons with anyone at all. Ah well maybe people will do something eventually. You all didn't come here for me talking so here we go!

'Dur Daar Wo Wahl Daar Lein.' Alduin thought as she flew over the snowy peaks of the Northern part of Cyrodil. She had been flying for a few days now and she was beginning to get irate over the length of the flight. Her current condition wasn't doing much to improve her mood.

Never before had she taken so many breaks during a trip.

'Damn you Dovahkiin for leaving me in this state! Damn you for even agreeing to this cursed plan in the first place!' She roared loudly in her mind, never mind that it was her plan in the first place. "When I find him, I am wrapping my teeth around his neck and crushing it slowly."

"Thuri, your emotions are getting out of control again." A dragon said as Alduin gave him a scathing glare from her position.

"Hold your tongue or I'll tear it out of your maw." she growled back as the dragon wisely shut up. "I won't stop anymore until I am choking the life from the Dovahkiin's body."

None of the other dragons had a comment the rest of the flight.

-The White-Gold Tower, Cyrodil-

"The 5th Fleet is holding The Abecean Sea while the 3rd is advancing on Stros M'Kai. The island is being held by a Thalmor regiment with a Bosmer Fleet patrolling the waters." A Legionnaire said as the Emperor stroked his beard while reaching for his goblet.

"And yet I have reports of a Defense line in Hammerfell being overrun and Bosmer in the Southern tip of Cyrodil." Mede said in a tone that sounded like he hardly cared. "I honestly expected this to be decided quickly but it seems like nothing has changed."

"The Legion will win this sir-"

"After how much more will be spent from my treasury? I hope you understand just how expensive a war can be." The Emperor replied as the Legionnaire made no reaction. "I want results, not excuses."

"Yes, sir." The Legionnaire said before with a scowl as the Emperor looked back to the members that made up his Council.

"Now back to the matter of finances..."

"The Emperor is not happy sir." The Legionnaire said as Tullius motioned for him to continue. "He is focusing on the loss of territory in Hammerfell as opposed to the gains in Elswyer and Valenwood."

"Until we have the next squad ready to go there's nothing we can do besides normal reinforcements. Have a Regiment sent to the border of Hammerfell with orders to secure a defense line until further notice and give them orders to not let any travelers in or out of Hammerfell." Tullius ordered as the Legionnaire saluted and rushed out.

"Sir, we need more time to do anything. The 12th Fleet won't hold the sea for long and Stros M'Kai can easily fall due to it's location, we need a lot more time than we have." Rikke said as Tullius rubbed his forehead and made to reply but a Courier from the city rushed into the Tower.

"The World-Eater...The World-Eater is approaching the city!" The Courier shouted as he gasped for air.

"And when the World-Eater approaches a battle, many will unite as one and end it all." Rikke said as she finished the last and lesser-known verse of the song.

"What was that Rikke?" Tullius asked as the Legate shrugged.

"What we need to make the Thalmor kneel in defeat and put an end to chaos." Rikke said as numerous dragons fly over the city like a dark cloud towards the Southern Border.

-With Marius-

"Someone get those damn Archers to the South!" Marius shouted as he slashed through another Bosmer before blocking a strike from a Khajiit Warrior. "Where in oblivion did these guys come from?"

"Sir, enemy reinforcements coming from the East!" A Scout said as Marius stabbed the Khajiit through the neck.

"Where are the troops from Kvatch!?" Marius asked/shouted as he blocked a few arrows before one lucky one embedded itself in his shoulder. "Son of a-"

"Nocturnal requires your life as payment for your misdeeds, Dragonborn." A smooth voice said as a Dark Elf seemingly appeared from nowhere with another arrow aimed at Marius's heart. "I do find some comfort in the fact that Mercer is dead but the rest had no involvement in anything."

"Are you talking about the Thieves Guild?" Marius said gruffly though his shoulder began to feel a little numb. "You think I did it huh? I won't deny I wish I was the one who did it but guess again."

Karliah sighed as she shook her head. "It matters not who was responsible but you did have a hand in not answering Nocturnal's call when it did."

"And yet she ignores the fact that I was nearly killed by them when I came back almost dead from a job that was screwed from the start; is that what passes for "Honor among Thieves"?" Marius shot back as he felt his blood boil in his veins. Whatever poison was on the arrow was really making his veins feel like they were on fire.

"Nocturnal-"

"Doesn't know one damn Daedra dick from the next." Marius finished as he stood up and tore the arrow from his shoulder; blood staining the ground as he gritted his teeth. "Everyone on this damn continent knows she sleeps around like a prostitute at a brothel. I bet every damn Daedra from the Princes on down to the lowest Scamp has had a go with her at least twice." he was rewarded with an arrow in his gut for that remark from an irate Dark Elf.

"You dare desecrate the Patron of the Shadows with your vile words? The one who gave you the ability to be a Thief? You would dare to beseech her out of pettiness?" Karliah screamed out in rage as Marius only smiled before rolling his shoulder.

"Poison was a nice touch but you missed something important that your...lady...forgot to tell you." he said as his smile turned into a very feral grin as his nose picked up a very familiar scent.

"Lady Nocturnal has told me all I need to know." Karliah said as she knocked another arrow and aimed directly at Marius heart. "Oblivion take you, Dragonborn."

"You still forgot something; Oblivion can't take whats already claimed by an Aedra!" Marius shouted as the battlefield went quiet when 12 enormous dragons came from the clouds.

At the front was a large black dragon with evil red eyes and her sight was tunnel visioned on the Dark Elf with the arrow pointed at her mate.

The Firstborn of Akatosh had taking the battlefield once again but this time it was with mortals instead of against.

A new Era was about to begin.

Well, I hope this actually is a lot better for you guys. Sorry it took a bit of time but since overtime in the Construction industry is an almost impossibility to get, I have to take advantage of it when I can so I can pay the bills. Still my car payment is paid through the next couple months and so is my insurance, all that is left is my rent but that's pretty easy.

So is this better than the previous chapters or is still kinda lacking? Leave me your thoughts as well as your thoughts on the previous chapters questions.

What Warframe would you guys like to spend time with?
