The Outrelms

Albus P.O.V

It was another day at Hogwarts while for most of the students it was a normal day for him it was another day of worry it had only been a few days ago when word reached the daily prophet of what happened in Tamriel.

(FLASHBACK 2 weeks ago)
Albus was sitting in the great hall when he and the rest of the students read the newspaper headlines

Assassination in Tamriel Word

has reached us here at the prophet that members of the Septim dynasty. The ruling family of the empire have been assassinated by an unknown cult so far, the confirmed deaths are of the emperors 3 sons the emperor himself is currently missing but presumed dead. However, all is not lost as the Duke of the Gold Coast Hadrian Tiber Septim, grandson of the emperor formally known as Hadrian James Potter, the boy who lived is alive and well thanks to the quick response of his bodyguard and legionnaires posted with him at Fort Sutch in county anvil.
It has been confirmed to us that if the emperor is indeed no longer alive, then young Hadrian will ascend to the throne as emperor of Tamriel. We at the prophet pray for the preservation of the septim bloodline and the well-being of our world's young hero.

(End of flashback)
Since then it had been quiet in Tamriel. The purebloods were unsurprisingly very worried to them the empire was what the magical world should be the strong ruling the weak magic freely and openly studied and for the imperial family to be targeted scared them he also had Sirius and Remus demanding he help them get to Tamriel and find Hadrian as clearly the empire was not safe for him but thankfully today was the day we would hear good news as owls carrying the paper arrived picking up my own copy

New Emperor Today

We received word from the empire that Uriel septim the 7th did indeed fall to the assassin's blade but his grandson Hadrian Tiber Septim arrived in the imperial city 4 days ago at the head of an army of imperial cavalry units after retaking the city of Kvatch and lit the dragonfires in the imperial city thus being crowned Hadrian Tiber Septim dragon of the north lord of Magic and emperor of Tamriel. However, the young monarch has not stayed silent. that night in the imperial capital and every city every town every keep in the imperial province was searched by the imperial army the local city watch or loyal fighter guild members as a list was discovered of all members of this cult the Emperor declared them traitors and sentenced them to death the assets were taken by the imperial government to be sold off to more loyal citizens it is also said that some of the assassins were Muggleborn Outrelmer but he is not yet done even now imperial army units sweep the empire hunting the leader of this group of assassins to end his life and bring peace to the empire.

Albus was in shock. The young man was now Emperor. If Tom had any loyal followers when he returned, they would never aid him in trying to kill the boy, not when he had command over tens of thousands of fanatical loyal soldiers who would burn their world to ash if he ordered it.

Maybe it was time to meet this young monarch and possibly try to give Sirus that connection he had with the boy as a child. How he was going to do that, he had no idea. He had no political clout in the empire; no one did.

Merlin, the empire barely tolerated them. However, maybe he could convince the minister to invite the emperor for an official state visit. As Sirius was the current Lord Black, he would be able to see his godson, if only in an official capacity.

(Time-skip 2 months later)

Lake Arrius County Cheydinhal

(Hadrian's P.O.V)

Finally, we found their headquarters. Months of martial law had finally paid off, with my blades and champion finding the last bit of critical information we needed. With the help of Arcane University, we tracked their leader to the cavern system beneath Lake Arrius.

Quickly gathering my legions, I marched to Cheydinhal to meet up with the count forces. Reports from blades and fighter's guild members indicated that the cult had fortified its positions and had its leader hidden in the caverns.

But now, here I was with my forces, ready to end this once and for all. Not needing to say a word raising my arm then clenching my fist was all the signal the field offers needed to fire their siege weapons rocks and flaming tar pots were hurled at the fortified positions I could hear their screams of pain as the fires burned but I had no care for them drawing my sword a gave the command the trebuchets stopped and my legions descended Upon the mythic dawn with their full might.

(Normal P.O.V)

If you were thinking this would be an epic fight to the death between the empire and the mythic dawn you are mistaken. It was a slaughter without the forces of oblivion to swell their ranks it was a group of men and women in robes with daggers and maces against the imperial army and city watch professional troops who had one goal in mind ... revenge. Revenge for their former emperor and his son's revenge for the city of Kvatch and revenge for the empire in general so when their lord gave the order, they had no problem cutting these dogs down. Hadrian escorted by his blades his champion and his imperial battlemage he proceeded across the battlefield into the caverns it was time for this to end.

(normal P.O.V Arrius caverns)

you could hear the fighting outside just as well as the fighting inside the cave. What little decent equipped soldiers the cult had were nothing more than a few dozen mercenaries in iron armour; however, that did not last long against legion steel. thought looking on the ground a few of his legionaries and city watch had fallen not having time to grieve he continued deeper into the caverns.

(Selena P.O.V)

sticking by the emperor's side, we fought our way down the cavern passages, coming across the occasional legionaries or city watch fighting a cult member till they made it to the great chamber. But instead of going in Hadrian turned to them with a shocking revelation on his face his eyes his emerald green eyes had changed they were still green but instead they were the green eyes of a dragon.

"You will remain hidden until I say is that understood " Turing to the others she saw the shock and fear of seeing the young emperors' eyes but they obeyed his orders as did I. We made our way to the door his hands burning the locks off so we could get in i knew the dragon had awoken inside him and Mancar Cameron would be the first to feel his wrath but would he be the last I just did not now.

Bio

After his parents' death, Hadrian was raised by his mother's birth family in the empire. As he grew older, he adopted the same distaste for the Outrelms.

Trained by the finest people in the empire, Hadrian is an expert with a longsword and destruction magic. Like his mother, he has an affinity for healing and is well loved by the people. He knows about his father's friends in Britain but has decided to ignore them.

But he is also confused. From all he had read, no one from the Septim dynasty or the previous human-ruled dynasties had married an Outrelmer before his own grandfather had forbidden one of his uncles from marrying a girl from France, but he had allowed his mother to marry his father only the emperor truly knew the reason.
