The Guild of the Dragonborn
Chapter 2: Introductions

Disclaimer: I do not own Skyrim or any of the characters involved except the concepts of the different Dragonborns in this story

Ten portals appeared on top of the hill where the Elf had seen Alduin, out of them ten different people were thrown through them onto the ground, when they were safely away the portals closed. The Elf looked up at those surrounding him and saw they were all members of the different races that inhabited Skyrim.

"Who are you?" he asked loudly, hoping someone would answer.

"I am Hi'er'lek." One of them replied, a large Orc wearing a full suit of steel armor and carrying a large steel battle-axe, all of his armor and his weapon looked like they'd been carefully made, sharpened, and polished.

"My name is Shealin." Another replied, a Khajit, wearing full leather armor, at his waist a pair of iron daggers, to the Elf his form seemed to shift in an out slightly making him hard to see.

"Piridien." A third replied, a woman. She was a Breton, wearing a full suit of iron armor and on her waist were twin iron swords

"Bord! A proud member of the Nord Race and a Warrior!" Another called loudly, slamming a hand into his chest. The Elf noticed iron armor, shield, and sword on this one.

"And you?" he asked looking over to an Argonian who was wearing a dagger and a leather suit of armor.

"Sin'Hadir." He answered "Who are you to be asking all this?" He asked

"I apologize; my name is Hidirion, an elf from the summerset isles." He replied with a bow

"Hidirion… interesting." One of them said

He looked up to see it was a redguard woman, she was equipped with a quiver full of arrows on her back and a longbow was tied around her shoulders. She was wearing full leather armor

"Who are you?"

"Shishinee." She replied with a bow.

"If anyone's curious, my name is Tsunaya." The imperial stated. She was wearing iron armor with an iron great sword on her back, a longbow strung across, a quiver full of arrows, and an iron sword at her waist, an iron shield was strapped to her arm.

"That leaves one…" Hidirion said looking at the Dark Elf woman who was standing by silently. "Who are you friend?"

"Hudien." She replied, a sword was hanging on her waist and she was wearing iron armor and helmet with leather gloves and boots.

Hidirion nodded at the names and looked around. "What happened?" He asked

Hi'er'lek was the first to reply. "I was on my way to the city of Whiterun; I had just visited Riverwood and told Alvor about the attack on Helgen and how I met his nephew Hadvar. He asked me to visit the city to tell the Jarl about the attack and to send aid to Riverwood."

"That's impossible!" Shealin shouted in response.

"What?"

"That's exactly what happened to me." He said putting his thumb to his chest.

"Go on, what happened after that?" Hidirion asked

"The dragon that attacked Helgen. It attacked me here, it called me Dovahkiin." Hi'er'lek finished

"That dragon, it must be the cause of this…" Hidirion stated

Shealin was silent "What if we find it again?" he asked

"The dragon?" Hudien asked

"Yes. If it's the cause of this strange predicament, then it might be the solution." Shealin explained

Hidirion nodded at this information. "Then it's settled. We're going to find that dragon and get him to send us back."

Hi'er'lek nodded "Then what's the plan?"

Hidirion looked around at the different faces gathered before him. "Any ideas?"

"I say we continue to Whiterun. It's our best bet so far. I mean, Alvor did say that Riverwood would need reinforcements. We should get that out of the way before we continue." Hudien added

"True…" Hidirion stated putting a hand on his chin. He turned toward Whiterun and began to move forward. The rest followed him.

On their way into the city a group of three adventurers, an archer and two fighters, were attacking a giant. When they dispatched it with no help from the group they approached them.

"Well, that's taken care of, no thanks to any of you." The archer, a woman, told them

"You looked like you had it taken care of." Hidirion replied

"Still, those who seek glory and fame in battle always lend their aid, that's the companion's way." The woman replied

"The companions?" Hidirion asked

"An outsider, eh? Never heard of the companions? We're a group of warriors dedicated to winning honor and glory in battle. You should come join us."

"Sounds like a waste of time to me." Hidirion replied

"Well then…" The woman said before she and her group left.

Hidirion led the rest of the group to the city gates and were stopped by some guards.

"Halt, city's closed except for official business." The guard told them

"We're bringing news of the attack on Helgen." Hidirion replied

"Oh, then go inside, you'd best report to the Jarl, you'll find him in the fortress on top of the hill." The guard turned and unlocked the gate.

When he stepped aside Hidirion led the group into the city. From there they made their way up to Dragonsreach, the center of Whiterun.

As they entered the city hall, they were stopped by a dark elf woman wearing full leather armor, her sword was drawn.

"Halt, no one approaches the Jarl until I say so." She told them

"We're here to tell the Jarl about the attack on Helgen." Hidirion told her

"That explains why the guards let you in, come along then." The woman sheathed her sword and led them to the Jarl.

"Irileth, who are these strangers?" The Jarl asked

"They claim they're from Helgen." Irileth, the dark elf, replied

"Helgen, so then you were there for the attack?" He asked

"Yes Jarl." Hidirion replied

"What happened?"

"A dragon attacked the city, and last we saw it was headed this way."

"A dragon? Bah." Irileth told them

"There you have it Proventus, do you trust in the strength of our walls to protect us against a dragon?" The Jarl asked

"What do you wish to do Jarl?" Proventus, the Jarl's assistant, asked as he stepped from the nearby shadows

"Irileth, send a detachment to Riverwood." The Jarl told her

"Understood sire."

"But the Jarl of Falkreath will assume we're preparing to join Ulfric's side and attack him." Proventus exclaimed

"Enough! I will not stand idly by while a dragon burns my hold and slaughters my people." The Jarl told him

"I understand. I'll return to my duties then." Proventus said

"That would be best Proventus." The Jarl told him

He turned to Hidirion and the others "You people sought me out on your own initiative, I won't forget that, but for now we should discuss these matters with my court wizard, Farengar." The Jarl said before standing.

He made his way across the hall before entering a small room, a man wearing a purple robe was standing over an arcane enchanter.

"Farengar!" The Jarl called

"Yes m'lord?" The wizard asked turning toward them

"I believe these people can help you with your dragon project." The Jarl told him

"My.. ah yes! That."

"I'll leave you to it."

"Of course." Farengar bowed to the Jarl as he turned and left

"So, what will you have us do?" Hi'er'lek asked

"Well, I'm going to have you fetch something for me."

"Is that all?" Hudien asked

"When I say fetch, I actually mean to dive into a ruins that may or may not contain the object I'm looking for." Farengar stated

"What is it we're retrieving?" Shealin asked

"An old stone, covered in ancient runes." Farengar replied

"Do you mean this?" Shealin asked producing such a stone from his pack

"The dragonstone of Bleak Falls Barrow! You've already found it. You're certainly cut from a different cloth than the brutes the Jarl normally thrusts upon me." Farengar said

"Now, what about our reward?" Shealin asked

"You'll have to discuss with the Jarl about payment." Farengar said

"Farengar!" Irileth called

The group turned to see her running toward them. "Come quickly, a dragon has been sighted near Whiterun."

"A dragon? Really? What was it doing?" He asked

"I'd take this a bit more seriously if I were you. You should come alone too." She addressed the last part to the group.

She led them to the upper reaches of the keep where a guard was explaining how a dragon was attacking the Western Watchtower.

"We'll take care of this Jarl." Hidirion said after the guard had been dismissed

The Jarl nodded to him "Alright, I want a detailed report when you return."

Hidirion nodded and led the way out of the keep. He led the group out to the Western Watchtower.

"I don't see anything now." Hidirion said as they approached the silent, burning tower

"That doesn't mean our prey is gone." Shealin added

"Of course, be wary." He said as he summoned his spells, he heard the clink of weapons being drawn and the sounds of spells activating behind him.

The group advanced toward the tower where a guard shouted at them.

"No! Stay back! Hroki and Tor just got grabbed when they tried to make a run for it!"

The group dispersed to different patches of cover.

"Kynareth save us! Here he comes again!" the guard said as a dragon's roar echoed across the sky, a large shadow darted through the blue and clouds over their heads.

"Be ready!" Hidirion called

The dragon flew over their heads and Hidirion leashed a string of fire along with a blast of lightning from Hudien and a wave of ice from Sin'Hadir

Two arrows leashed through the sky and drove themselves home into the Dragon's underbelly.

Hidirion turned to see Shilaney and Shishinee readying another arrow each. Beside them Hi'er'lek, Shealin, Tsunaya, Pirdien, and Bord were ready and waiting, swords, shields, daggers, and axes ready.

Hudien had a sword drawn and Sin'Hadir had a dagger in his right hand.

Hidirion looked up to see the Dragon fly toward their right and turned quickly to land on the ground.

"Attack!" Hi'er'lek and Shealin called as the warriors ran toward it

Another pair of arrows and wave of magic followed them, hitting the dragon. As the warriors began to swing away the Dragon attempted to take off, but a lucky arrow from Shilaney put it down for good. As it died it began to glow, the skin on its body fading away into a firey orange. The energy flew into each of the group and they felt an immense power awaken inside them. The word "Vus" ran across their minds like a magic image.

The group sheathed their weaons and retrieved the loot from the dragon before heading back towards Whiterun, on the way there they heard the thundering sound of voices, calling to the heavens. "Do-vah-kiin!"

They entered Dragonsreach and gave the Jarl a report, he explained to them that they were all, Dragonborn, and that they should visit the Graybeards on High Hrothgar. Before they were to leave, he gifted them with a fully furnished building of Breezehome, to use how they pleased.

Hidirion led the group to Breezehome, and there they discussed their next plans of action.
