Stendarr visits Vincent

After two days of waiting for the squad of Dawnguards to arrive, they finally made their way towards Castle Volkihar with the help of Vincent turning into a Dragon carrying them.

On their way, many Dragons wanted to follow but Vincent told them not to since Dragons wouldn't be able to enter the Castle. Only Odahviing was following him as he was carrying Serana, Vyrve, and Kirvena because the Dawnguard didn't want to be near Serana and since Odahviing was too proud to let someone that isn't a member of Vincent family ride him.

They went on and arrived at Castle Volkihar. Vincent and Odahviing set the watchtower on fire burning the Vampires that were guarding there down before turning to the bridge as some of the Gargoyles awoken. Under the fire, they melted like their creators as Vincent lands on the land and everyone jumps down before he transforms back. He was in his Warriors Set holding his ax as he follows the Dawnguard.

Odahviing landed on the bridge as they saw the gate opening making Odahviing spew fire at the Vampire Servants and Vampires that rushed at him as the three he was carrying jumped down.

{Make way,} says Vincent as Odahviing begins to take off again as the Dawnguard rushed the bridge towards the gates. Vincent gave the Auri-El's Bow to Kirvena so she could use it.

They see the Dawnguard enter the Castle as the four followed. Entering the castle they find Dawnguard as well as Vampire lying around dead on the ground while they hear the fighting.

They supported the Dawnguard as Serana says, "My father must be with the Blood Fountain."

"Where is that?" asks Vincent as he was worried about Serana going there alone.

"The stairs up," says Serana when a sword comes down towards Vincent. He blocks it easily and swings his ax killing the Vampire.

"Traitor," says a Dunmer Vampire quietly as he was dying towards Serana before a hammer came down on his face making his head explode like a watermelon.

Serana wasn't feeling great after hearing that as Kirvena made signals to Vincent to take care of Harkon while they take care of Serana. Vincent then kills everyone in his way before arriving at the door of the place Serana pointed before.

He enters and finds the place where the Blood Fountain was. The room was pretty dark as he walked forward and hears, "You sheeps really don't know how to behave in front of a wolf."

"You must be Harkon. My future father-in-law," says Vincent as the wind passes him and he says, "How about you forget the prophecy. It was a lie invented by a madman to make Vampires believe that they could make the sun disappear."

"You must be crazy to think that I would listen to a brat that doesn't even have a hundred years on his shoulders. I studied the Scrolls until my treacherous wife hid Serana and herself away from me. I only needed one last puzzle piece but the last Scroll never appeared," says Harkon from a different spot in the room making it difficult for Vincent to pinpoint him.

"You think your daughter would be happy when the sun doesn't shine? I can tell you one thing for sure that would happen," says Vincent as he made a pause before saying, "All of Nirn would kill every Vampire before dying because nothing will grow to eat and feed the animals without the sun and if they die before killing every Vampire you would follow since you couldn't drink any blood if every living being is dead."

Vincent feels the Wind again as he sees Harkon's eyes before Harkon disappeared again and appeared right behind Vincent as he bites him and begins to suck blood from Vincent who frees himself and says, "It seems you have a death wish."

"Your blood is quite good. Now I know why my daughter wants to marry you. I will keep you alive until you can't produce such a good blood," says Harkon with a smile as Vincent began to laugh confusing Harkon who asks, "Why are you laughing?"

"Because you are already dead," says Vincent with a smile.

Flashback to Yesterday

Vincent was eating with his wives and would be as the children were outside when he says, "We should take care of the Vampire that is downstairs. The earlier he is gone the safer it is for the children."

"You are right. We tortured him long enough to calm myself down from what they wanted to do and it would leave quite a trauma on the children if they find him," says Mina as she finished her food.

"Did you give him another salt bath after me?" asks Vincent as Mina only smiled making everyone in the room know that they shouldn't mess with her family and hierarchy in the family.

"I think the same. Lydia was quite pale when she told me about what we had in the cellar," says Elisif as the others nod.

"I will take care of it then," says Vincent as he walked down after closing the cellar door and looked at the Vampire who had no life in his eyes.

'He must be dead,' thought Vincent as he unchains him and suddenly the Vampire bit him right in the neck as it began to drink his blood before pulling him away quite fast as the Vampire was weak. Then he heard in his head, 'You can't be corrupted, You can't be corrupted.'

Black blood came out of the bite mark as if it was the Vampirism disease that was pushed out of him while the Vampire because he was so weak suddenly began to die from inside out as if the blood was burning him up leaving only ashes and bones behind.

At first, Vincent panicked and wanted to go up to stop Serana from drinking his blood when someone caught him by his neck and says, "Don't be alarmed."

"Stendarr!" says Vincent as Stendarr looks at him with a smile.

"It's good that you still know my name even if we only meet once. Your Vampire friend up there is quite lucky I must say since you always gave her your blood willingly," says Stendarr as he puts Vincent down again and says, "My blessing killed the Vampire and helped you overcome becoming a Vampire. Trust me nothing with Daedric influence can really taint you. Vampires can't drink your blood as well as Werewolves if they did," he points at the ashes and bones and continues, "that would happen except you allow it."

"That really scared me thinking Serana could end up like that," says Vincent as he sighs in relief.

"Yes, as long as you allow her to drink your blood everything should be alright. Only Daedric Princes can pass my blessing as you might have noticed," says Stendarr as Vincent remembers his time in that forest and Nocturnal's visits once in a while.

"Did you come to tell me that?" asks Vincent not buying it when Stendarr smiles again.

"I want you to take the Vigilants of Stendarr into your new order. They are many and I informed their Leaders in every Province to join you," says Stendarr as Vincent was confused.

"You know that we don't hunt Daedras right?" asks Vincent just to make sure Stendarr knew that.

"I know and I know that you have Vampires in that order too. But you will have to deal with Daedric Events once on the throne and with them in your pocket, you can face those events," says Stendarr as he reassured that sooner or later one of the Princes would just do that.

"Fine, I will inform Karliah about it," says Vincent as Stendarr nods.

"Good, then it's time to say farewell for now," says Stendarr as he was slowly vanishing as he also took the ashes and bones with him.

"Well, he helped me too. It seems he just wants the best for Tamriel," says Vincent as he goes back up.

"Are you done?" asks Mina as she didn't see the Vampire corpse of ashes.

"All done," says Vincent as he turned to Serana and says, "Never drink my blood without permission do you understand."

Serana nods before asking, "Why?"

"The Vampire was playing dead and bite me. He was killed by my blood. I wanted to come up as fast as possible to warn you but Stendarr stopped me before informing me about the situation telling me as long as I gave permission nothing would happen," says Vincent as Serana was thankful for the warning before Vincent told them about the Vigilants of Stendarr were to join the Network.

"It would be better to open a second Fraction for the Warriors," says Mina as Vincent nods.

"Yes but first let them be in the Network. They need the manpower. Can you send a letter to Karliah," says Vincent as Mina nods and goes to her desk to write the letter. The day then passed as normally as the next day the Dawnguard arrived.

Back in Castle Volkihar

Harkon not knowing why Vincent was laughing was feeling as if he was burning from inside out as he asks, "What have you done to me?"

"I nothing, but you everything," says Vincent as he slowly saw some holes of light bursting out of Harkon's body. The body then slowly began to burn down and only ashes and bones remained.

"Well, it seems I didn't even need to use a weapon," says Vincent as he opened the door to return to the others when Serana and the other two fell in.

"Now what have we here. Two little spies that will need to be disciplined once at home and a giant that is curious for his own good," says Vincent as both women understood what he meant and hit his shoulders while Vyrve whistled into the air innocently.

"Is everything calm on the other side?" asks Vincent now serious and all three nod.

"Yes, every Vampire except for me is dead. What about my father?" asks Serana as she looked into the room only to find bones and ashes lying around on the floor.

"He is dead," says Vincent hugging her as she gave shed a little tear thinking it didn't have to come to this if he hadn't been so obsessed.

"Now we should maybe look for your mother now that your father is dead," says Vincent as Serana nods.

"But first let's deal with the Dawnguard they are waiting," says Serana as they all leave the room to enter the Entrance Hall.
