Saskia the Dragonslayer

In the meantime, Geralt of Rivia received a letter from someone he calls his friend. He opened the letter and was surprised by the content of it.

"A Dragon was spotted in Velen," says Geralt to his horse Roach as if she is a person.

Roach seemed to not care about what her owner was talking about as she was eating waiting for Geralt to mount her so they could begin to move.

"We will be needing an ally to consult about this Dragon," says Geralt as he mounted Rouch and they began to travel again.

He followed the way towards the east as he wanted to meet with a Dragon to find out how to deal with a Dragon and this made Vergen his next destination to meet with Saskia the Dragonslayer.

Vincent, on the other hand, was overflying what seemed a battlefield with corpses on it and Karliah says, "A big battle was fought down there."

"It seems so let us hope that Vergen still stands," says Serana as Vincent could see a giant black army under them.

"We have company. I would rather avoid them for now," whispers Vincent in his Dragon-form as he tried to pass them by using the clouds as cover.

"Is that the Nilfgaardian Army," says Kirvena as she saw that it was as big as one Tamrielic Legion was when Vincent was still reigning over Tamriel.

"Most likely," says Vincent as he flew higher into a cloud hiding from the army.

They overflew a nearby city and it seemed to be under siege by the Nilgaardian Army when Vincent says, "I really hope that isn't Vergen."

"But it seems to be, going by the map," says Serana as Vincent looked down at Vergen and sees that the battle for the city will begin soon.

The Blacks seemed to rush into the City without fear while the people of Vergen were defending their walls bitterly to the end.

"Shouldn't we help them?" asks Ellana as the others were sighing.

"We could but what would be our benefit in intervening in this war?" asks Vincent as Ellana was thinking about it when Vincent says, "We wouldn't benefit from it."

"But they live by the philosophy of the Empire," says Ellana making a big point about why they should help Vergen.

"A fair point but what then?" asks Vincent as they were overflying Vergen while in cover inside the clouds.

"We can't defend them always except they enter the Empire and they won't since are on another world. We can't keep an eye on them," says Vincent as he didn't want to reveal himself yet.

"Are you sure we can't implement them into the Empire as a Province in the Northern Kingdoms? Just to represent us around here," says Ellana as the women were smiling.

"Do you have a solution for the biggest problem for our presences in the Northern Kingdoms," says Vincent hinting at their biggest problem being with not having a way home and back except for the mirror.

"How about opening a Gate like the Oblivion Gates that Dagon used to invade Nirn," says Ellana as Vincent smiled at her.

"And you found a way to create such a gate?" asks Vincent as Ellana nods.

"I could open one towards Nirn but I need the necessary Magicka to open it," says Ellana as Vincent began his descent towards Vergen.

"Then let us help them. But we won't force them into the Empire," says Vincent as he came out of the clouds.

They could see the battle that was unfolding under them when Vincent began to roar taking the attention of both armies as they saw Vincent approach them.

Vincent flew low over the Nilfgaardian Army and shouted his Fire Breath burning them into the ground. The people of Vergen didn't even know what was happening when they saw Vincent attack the Nilfgaardian Army.

On the wall of Vergen, a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes was seeing Vincent's arrival when a dwarf asks, "Did you call that Dragon to help us, Saskia?"

"No, and my instincts are telling me to run away from it as far as possible," says Saskia as her body was shaking out of fear from standing in Vincent's presence.

Vincent landed on some Nilfgaardians before he shouted again but this time ice came out of his jaws surprising everyone as it wasn't heard of a Dragon breathing ice out of his jaws.

This was new for everyone even Saskia who heard from her father that Dragons could breathe Fire, Acid, or Steam. She was seeing how Vincent was fighting while she was fighting her instincts that were screaming at her to flee this place. She looked closer at Vincent and saw four women on his back.

Suddenly a Nilfgaardian Commander recognizes Vincent as he fell to the ground and says, "That can't be. He should be in Velen not here."

"What do you mean commander?" asks a captain seeing the desperation in his commander's eyes.

"That is the Black Dragon Highwind. In some reports from our spies, we found out that this Dragon lives in the Bald Mountain that is now known as the Burned Mountain since only a landscape of Black and White exists there," says the Commander fearful as Vincent then just used his tail and wiped a whole battalion out of existence.

"Blow for a retreat we won't win if we fight this monster," says the commander as the horn sounded and everyone retreated while Saskia was surprised that Nilfgaard was retreating.

"Something is wrong. They wouldn't retreat like that just because one Dragon entered the battlefield," says Saskia suspiciously.

But she could see why as well. Vincent was far too big for a normal Dragon and he was far more devastating as the corpses were proof of that. Vincent now walked towards Vergen.

Vincent could feel a Dragon nearby and says, "I feel a Dragon nearby."

"A Dragon?" asks Serana as Vincent was looking in the direction he was feeling the aura of the Dragon.

"Yes, but the aura comes from someone on the wall," says Vincent as he looked straight at Saskia.

The moment Saskia felt Vincent's stare was the worst moment in her life. She fell to the ground as her legs gave way and Vincent now knew who the Dragon was.

Vincent once in front of the Wall he looked at Saskia and asks, {Are a Dragonborn like I am or a Dragon that learned to transform into a human.}

Saskia seemed to not understand Vincent as he talked to her when Kirvena jumped from Vincent's back and landed on the wall in front of Saskia. She stretches her hand out to Saskia hoping for Saskia to take the hand.

"He asked if you are a Dragonborn like him or a Dragon that can transform into a human," says Kirvena as Saskia looked at Kirvena in her Nord-form and saw almost the same face staring at herself just that Kirvena was taller than her.

"Don't be afraid of him. He is here to help your little nation of misfits," says Kirvena seeing the fear in Saskia's face.

Kirvena looked at Saskia and was reminded of her daughter that inherited too much of Vincent's blood making her like her father a natural Dragonborn.

She was always fearful of her father because she could feel his aura naturally while the other children never could. They never had to fear their father's inner Dragon like she had to.

Everything changed after Vincent found out why his own daughter was scared of him and he helped her overcome those instincts making a wise and powerful Queen out of her.

Saskia took Kirvena's hand and she felt warm full of courage when she says, "I'm Saskia the Dragonslayer, also known as the Virgen of Aedirn."

"I'm Kirvena Highwind, Paladin of Auri-El. The Dragon behind me is Vincent Highwind, my husband," says Kirvena as she presented the others as well.

The others jumped from Vincent's back as Vincent looked at Saskia for an answer to his question when Saskia says, "I am a Dragon that can transform into a human."

"You can't speak Dovahzul?" asks Kirvena as Saskia looked at her confused.

"Dovahzul?" asks Saskia as Kirvena nods.

"The Dragon Tongue, every Dragon born under Auri-" says Kirvena when she stopped realizing why Saskia couldn't speak Dovahzul.

"Right, you weren't born in Nirn," says Kirvena confusing Saskia even more when Vincent placed his hand on the wall and he slowly turned back into his Nord-form.

"I really thought for a moment that you were a Dragonborn because of your human form. Anyway, I would like to talk to you about something that will change this war of yours into your favor," says Vincent as Saskia wasn't believing him one bit.

"Who do you want to trick with this offer?" asks Saskia not falling for that when Vincent burst out laughing.

"I never tricked anyone before," says Vincent as some of the women behind him coughed up a bit since they knew their husband.

"Well, maybe once or twice but they never regretted that decision," says Vincent as he looked at Saskia now seriously while saying, "There is a place that could give you immunity in the Northern Kingdoms. Just one of their Legion could destroy Nilfgaard for good."

"Who Redania, they might be strong but they can't compete against Nilfgaard," says Saskia as Vincent shakes his head.

"No, it needs an Empire to stop an Empire. What I am suggesting is that you enter an Empire in which you aren't discriminated by what you are," says Vincent as he pulled the Imperial Banner out of his bag.

"Which Empire do you represent? I have never seen a coat of arms like that," says Saskia as Vincent smiled.

"I represent the Highwind Empire. But you will need to talk to the Emperor Naomasa Highwind to find out if he allows you to enter the Empire," says Vincent as Saskia was looking at Vincent seriously.

"Are you related to the Emperor?" asks Saskia as Vincent nods.

"Yes," says Vincent without hesitation when he continues, "I know the Emperor since he was born. I haven't spent much time with him because of his mother was overprotective of him. But at least his father made a good warrior out of him."

"I need to talk to my advisors to see what we will be doing," says Saskia as Vincent nods.

"That is only fair," says Vincent as Saskia leaves to meet her advisors.
