Dragon King

Vincent arrives at the peak of the mountain and sees Dragons left and right from him. They didn't attack but were keeping a close watch on Vincent as he advances until he stood in front of the almost destroyed Word Wall. He sees a pale dragon sitting on it while the other Dragons were watching carefully.

{I'm happy you followed my call Dragonborn, I'm Paarthurnax. I called you here so the other dragons that were revived by Alduin can see the champion that killed him.} says Paarthurnax looking at Vincent.

{How did you know I killed him?} asks Vincent curious how they found out.

{We could feel how he left the World the moment you absorbed his soul.} says a red dragon that was sitting on a rock almost at the entrance of when you arrive on the peak.

{Then you are right he was about to perform a ritual when I killed him. But I must say he wasn't at his best I think.} says Vincent to the Dragons.

{Humble it's good that you aren't much like us that are full of pride. I always have to fight against this feeling and hold it back.} says Paarthurnax towards Vincent.

{Now, why am I called here?} asks Vincent when every Dragon sinks their head.

{The Dragons want to pledge to you to take them in and become their leader. There always needs to be one to lead us and since you killed Alduin it makes you our new leader. It makes you the Dragonking.} says Paarthurnax explaining to Vincent why so many dragons were here.

{So that means you all will hear my call?} asks Vincent to Paarthurnax.

{So it is and will be we will come when you call us. Every single one that is on this mountain will be at your disposal. There are still dragons that will challenge you thinking that you are not worthy and some that couldn't make it. Then there is also that we don't have much space and only the strongest of their region came.} says Paarthurnax informing why only 11 dragons were on the mountain right now.

Then the green dragon says, {I will go first. The Dragons of Hjaalmarch swear to follow the path of the voice and come to your aid when you need it.}

Then the next dragon and so on gave the same vows to follow Vincent.

{That means the Dragons outside Skyrim didn't come.} says Vincent.

{No they will most likely take some time to arrive. They could even overfly your city to give their vows.} says Paarthurnax when Vincent looked a bit nervous.

{Better they don't show up in the city or they will begin a mass hysteria and I can't guarantee that the guards won't attack them.} says Vincent.

{That's when Odahviing comes in play. He will be with you and inform the Dragons that come to inform me and I inform you.} says Paarthurnax pointing at the red dragon that was sitting on the rock at the entrance.

Odahviing was proud and showed his chest when Vincent says, {I hope he won't attack people.}

{He won't only bandits. The other dragons won't attack people too. Only those not in your control will still be evildoers and must be put down or persuaded to follow you.} says Paarthurnax informing Vincent.

{We will find a way when worst come to worst we will just have to kill them.} says Vincent showing resolve that made the Dragons present know that he meant what he said.

The Dragons then fly away and only Odahviing and Paarthurnax remained when Vincent asks, {How do I call you when I need you?}

{Just shout my name and I will come. That works for the others too.} says Odahviing explaining to Vincent how to call him.

{I will need a list of all their names and color if I find them not to kill them by accident.} says Vincent as he was sure he would kill one or to by accident if he didn't have the list.

{I will take care of that. But maybe you should return now that everything was said. I will be here if you want to meditate with me.} says Paarthurnax when Odahviing lands beside Vincent.

{Come on I will bring you down and bring someone up so he and Paarthurnax can make your list.} says Odahviing towards Vincent, who mounts Odahviing as he begins to fly down while saying says, {Be happy you are the only being able to fly us without using a shout.}

In the meantime, the others were seeing the dragons fly in all directions and Mina asks, "What do you think happened up there?"

"I would say that nothing happened since no one was shouting," says Arngeir while the other Greybeards nod.

"I'm still worried about this. You never know what they planned for him," says Mina worried when red dragon descent to the courtyard and she sees Vincent riding it.

He dismounts Odahviing and Mina hugs him and says, "Thank goodness you are alright. I thought you walked into your tomb."

"Everything is alright," says Vincent kissing her before looking at Arngeir and says, "Paarthurnax needs one of you on the top of the mountain to help him make a list. So you will need papers and ink."

"Master Borri will you do us the honor as being the oldest," says Arngeir as Borri nods and enters High Hrothgar to get the things needed before coming out again.

"Odahviing will carry you up. So don't worry about anything else," says Vincent as Borri mounts on Odahviing, who was a bit reluctant about it at first but since his King told him to do so. So he did and flew with Borri back up the mountain.

"So what happened?" asks Mina curious about what happened. She wasn't alone in this the other three also wanting to know what happened.

"I became the Dragonking," says Vincent explaining to Mina and the other three what happened.

"So they pledge their loyalty to you," says Arngeir surprised.

"That's how it seems but not all of them. Just the majority and only here in Skyrim. There are still some that want to see the world burn. So until they aren't convinced or killed Skyrim isn't completely safe," says Vincent informing them about the real situation they are having.

"If it's only a minority we can take care of them right," says Mina with confidence.

"Yes, but let's return home in three days. I really want to rest for a while. The ceremony as well as climbing the mountain have taken a toll on me," says Vincent as he leans on Mina's shoulder as they enter High Hrothgar.

The next morning he awakens with the odor of the breakfast that was being cooked by Mina who took some supplies from Vincent's back. He walks to the dining room and sees the three Greybeards anticipating the breakfast that Mina was making.

He sits down beside them and Arngeir says, "It's good you are awake. Your wife was worried about you."

"I needed some sleep I think. All this traveling and worrying doesn't bring me any good," says Vincent when Mina brings the breakfast to the table and she serves the food for them. Then she sits beside Vincent and begins to eat with him.

After eating she asks, "You better now?"

"Yes, but we will still stay here for a while. I want Lily to live here to develop her instinct to fly like Behemoth. Once she developed it we can leave but until then I will enter deep meditation to comprehend more words of might," says Vincent caressing her face.

"I will look after both of them so you can meditate without a problem," says Mina then she kisses him and Vincent leaves to meditate.

Vincent was in deep meditation for five days when Mina awakened him saying, "Lily began to fly."

"Really," says Vincent, who stands up and walks to the courtyard to see it with his own eyes. Once in the courtyard he sees Behemoth with Lily flying through the air and says, "It seems we are ready to leave then. Let's say our farewell to the others."

"It's not like we won't meet them again," says Mina.

"There you are right. They are part of us after all," says Vincent when he began to think and says, "Maybe we should bring Lucia and Sofie here once in a while to make them see them as family."

"You sure about this?" asks Mina worried.

"Yes, if what the said is true then it means we retreated to the mountain top after 200 years of reign. That means we have a good relationship with the Greybeards," says Vincent.

"So what is our next goal?" asks Mina curious what Vincent wanted to do now.

"How about building our house and wait for trouble to arrive. Then there is also the Companions that I was invited to join and the College of Magic in Winterhold that Farengar informed me about that I should visit in my free time," says Vincent.

"You already planned everything it seems," says Mina as they walk towards the others to inform them that they are leaving.

"So you are leaving again," says Arngeir, who sees both arriving.

"So it seems. I will come to visit once in a while with company," says Vincent.

"Just remember. You have a place to retreat from everything here. Whenever you want we will always accept you here," says Arngeir putting one hand on each of both shoulders and continues, "That goes for you too, Mina. Come whenever you want we haven't had such a feast in years."

"See you soon. And say to Borri the same," says Vincent as he walks to the courtyard with Mina who winks with her hand saying, "Bye."

They mount their chocobos and glide towards Whiterun. Once at the stable they walk up to the gates and Mina asks, "How long do you think it will take to finish the house?"

"A month maybe two with help. Six months maybe a year if I do it alone," says Vincent that had already an ideal house in mind to build on the land he bought.

They pass the gates when it was dark almost nobody was on the streets except for guards that were patrolling the city. They enter the house and see Lucia, Sofie, and Lydia eating dinner. Lucia jumps up from her seat and runs towards them while Sofie was a bit hesitant but still went to welcome then and felt warm all of a sudden when she felt Mina and Vincent hugging her.

"Welcome home," says Lucia looking at Vincent who had an apologizing look on his face.

"Sorry Luci, I haven't seen a pup or chicken around," says Vincent while petting her head.

"It's alright maybe next time," says Lucia still happy that they returned and Vincent smiles at her and picks her up while Mina picked Sofie up. They walk together to the dinner table and sit down joining them in the dinner.

Then Vincent brings them to bed and tells them a tale to get them to sleep. Lucia wanted to hear the story of Shiva and Hraesvelgr. Sofie never heard this story and listened to it attentively until she asks, "Is this story true?"

"It is we even have a song do you want to hear it," asks Vincent to the two and both nod. Vincent begins to sing the Dragonsong to them. Even if it wasn't as perfect as Alphinaud taught him the Bards sung it after Nidhogg died. He tried to make them feel the song. Mina who was under the doorframe had tears in her eyes hearing the song while the children were sleeping and Snow was sleeping beside Sofie.

Vincent then puts the blanket over both and leaves the room and he joins Mina and both go upstairs and Mina says, "Is the song the truth about how the Dragonsong War started?"

"Yes, the King of the Elezen betrayed the Dragon by taking the eyes of one Dragon. His son couldn't support his father doing this and became the first Dragoon but the Ancestors of Ishgard manipulated everything," says Vincent explaining to her everything as they laid in bed.

"So even in your home the Elves know how to scheme," says Mina sad.

"Not all it was an elf that was with a dragon after all. Even more so it was them that fought against the traitors and brought peace again between Dragons and Ishgard. We always have to remember that there are only a few that are evil, not the whole race," says Vincent as he kisses Mina and they begin to have sex.
