Ch. 35 A Request Part 1

Yes. It is time for the next chapter of Dovahkin and I am proud to announce that I have pre-ordered the Skyrim Re-mastered on Xbox One. Here's to someone making a mod to where you get Aldy as a summon!

In other news, Bethesda had stated that we won't see another Elder Scrolls for a while which means the One won't probably be getting one. The Scorpio would probably be our best bet for ES 6 but for now I will be glad with Skyrim and all the great mods we get!

Disclaimer: I own nothing, all characters belong to Bethesda. Any OC's belong to their respective creators!

"What do you mean Auri-El appeared before the Humans?!" A Thalmor official yelled out at the few survivors from the attack. All of them were heavily bleeding and half-dead by the time they were carted into Corinthe. None would walk again after the slaughter nor would they be of use to the Thalmor anymore. "You must be blind to imagine such things!"

"It's true sir! He appeared along with those lizards! There were too many of them to counter!"

"Nonsense! Auri-El has no business dealing with mortals, least of all Humans who don't deserve the air they breathe. It seems your defeat has addled your brains to the point of no use, you had superior forces and intelligence and yet you lost to barbarians." The official said before turning to the guards. "Take them to the holding cells to await punishment for the failure." The guards bowed before carting the survivors away as they pleaded for mercy but it fell on deaf ears.

"Obviously, we need to step up our offensive. Have the Marines reinforce the main lines in the North. I want the dogs stopped before they get out of the forests!" The official said as a messenger bowed and departed while the official went inside to contact Skywatch.

-Flashback-

Destruction was the only word to describe the hell that befell the Aldmeri soldiers. They were sent to reinforce the army marching on Skingrad but instead it was a slaughter. Both men AND dragons had routed the army and the entire field got set ablaze as the dragons added their strength to that of Humans.

But all of that paled at the figure that appeared. The figure of burning fire and menacing eyes that roared to the sky as the Legionnaires turned their sights on them.

And then they charged.

And then they slaughtered.

In no time, the Legion was upon the Aldmeri and killing them left and right. No soldier was spared the renewed strength of them Humans; some were cut in half and died instantly but others were just left to slowly bleed out.

Blood stained the ground as row after row of Thalmor were cut down or eaten by the dragons. The Legionnaire's armor was completely soaked through and yet it didn't deter the animalistic and hungry troops. They wanted blood and they got it.

At the forefront of the charge was Marius and his Ebony-forged blade was permanently stained with blood and even a few bits of flesh and fur graced it's presence and yet it's bite was still sharp enough to tear through anything.

"Feast, feast until nothing remains!" Marius shouted into the heavens as the Aspect roared in agreement.

The fire in his voice and the sadistic tone made Alduin shiver as she swatted away another helpless attacker. His tone and the way he was covered in blood sent her own hormones in a tailspin. 'Hi Ni Mindok Hi Dreh Wah Zu'u, Dovahkin.' she thought as she tried to calm herself. 'It's taking all I have to not jump you right now.' Subconsciously licking her lips, she eagerly rushed forward into the thick of the fray.

If only to end it faster.

The Aspect only watched with a small smile on it's face as it gazed at Alduin.

-Flashback end-

The fires of the Legion burned brightly as they sang in triumph of the latest victory. Not only was the southern line secure but a simple march south would put them directly at the city of Dune and the place to launch the second part of their operation.

But that was for tomorrow, for tonight was a time of triumph and song. Not only had they defeated two armies in a day but the felt as if they had the will of the Divines themselves on their side and they were right. Even the dragons gave joyous roars as they devoured cask after cask of mead and beer. One had already passed out with his body lopsided between two tents, somehow not collapsing on either of them, while another was singing along with the Legion in words half-mixed with Dovahzul. The rest were either getting to that point or trying their hardest not to take part of the festivities.

And Marius failed in trying to use the occasion to get away from Alduin. "What do you want?" he asked flatly as she snorted from her own spot some distance from the camp.

"I told you that we would have Tinvaak on some...questionable activities you found yourself in. Explain, now." she said as her red eyes matched his own.

"My life is none of your concern." he stated as he leaned against a tree.

"But it is, their kind has no place in the world we are trying to create and the fact that you even had the nerve to join such a group sickens me." she said a little roughly. "Thieves and their ilk have no stealing things that aren't theirs, simply for no other purpose than they want it. Things that most have worked their entire life for and have finally earned."

"When you put it that way..." Marius trailed off with disinterest. The only thing he wanted was to crawl into his bedroll and sleep but she seemed to pick up on it.

"Your attitude is not needed, you are tired but your actions up til now have left a lot to be desired; especially with new arrivals on the way." she said as she shifted a bit. "You have a duty to your future hatchlings to be an example and running with those who have no place in the world is not one of them."

"I already have two kids I need to look after and I think I've done a pretty good job of it so far." Marius said gruffly as she snorted. "They know nothing of some things and that's how it'll stay."

"You will walk a different path from this point on-"

"Quit trying to get me to bend to your will, it's not going to happen." Marius said a little angrily but he had to keep his voice down or else the camp would overhear. "You have no power over me whatsoever and I told you before, the only thing that connects us is the eggs you carry. Unlike you, I know how to be a parent." he said before walking away.

Or trying to, as he found two tall figures blocking his path. One in golden armor and the other nightmare black armor. And both had stern looks on their face as they stared him down.

Behind him, Alduin climbed to her feet in order to protect her mate; regardless of if he wanted her to.

"Lord Sheogorath has a request for you." The Golden Saint said with a sneer in her voice.

"And what does the crazy bat want?" Marius said as the Saint's face turned to one of angry and hate.

"He asks that you speak with him at your earliest convenience, he has a matter that you won't hesitate to accept." The Dark Seducer said in a calm tone though her body language made it clear that she didn't want to be here.

"No other information?" Marius prodded as the two looked at him.

"Our Lord has asked that you retrieve the statue of Akatosh from Alinor. It was taken from Cyrodil during the last war and Sheogorath wants it back where it belongs." The Saint said as Marius immediately tensed up.

"They did WHAT?!" His shout was heard for miles.

Well that'll be that for this one. Another battle down and Sheogorath has his request delivered to a now irate Marius. Can you imagine Alduin's feelings on the matter knowing that her father is with those she considers unworthy?

What is going to happen when Marius visits the Shivering Isles? What is Alduin going to do when she confronts her father about his appearance? When will this story reach it's conclusion?

Find out next time my dear readers!
