Sivreth has been strangled to death...

Respawning at nearest safe zone...

Error...

Not found...

Crazy psychotic girl is preventing revive...

Jokes aside, Elika wasn't pleased that I ignored her and prioritised my thoughts.

She asked me for help in her magical studies as she was struggling in the actual casting of spells, but Enchanting and the theoretical knowledge and history of magic she was good at.

I decided to help her out with Magic as a whole, as on with a capital "M".

That includes telling her the truth of Magicka and Magic and Magnus, both the name of the Sun and the Et'Ada that fled Atherius to avoid being caught up in Lorkhan's schemes.

The more I think about it, Lorkhan isn't evil or bad, he has actually done more for the entire Universe then even the Nine Divines had done.

But what bothers me is the mysterious enemy race that Lorkhan was preparing for in the proclaimed "Final Battle".

The reason why Lorkhan as his alias identities, mainly as Shor, created the Nordic Afterlife of Sovengarde was to gather mighty warriors in preparation of the "Final Battle".

Lorkhan had said that both Deadra and the Mortal races will band together and unite against this enemy that would decide the fate of the entire Universe.

But Elder Scrolls 6 hadn't been released when I died and was reincarnated here, which worries me even more since there had been rumours that Shor would return in Elder Scrolls 6.

How am I supposed to remain calm when I don't know what happens?!

The Dovahkiin is busted already and let's not get started with the fact that the Daedric Princes are becoming even bolder in their attempts to cross over the barrier of Mundus and set foot on Nirn.

So I would need to gather as many allies as I can to prepare for this mysterious enemy race at the "Final Battle".

Why would I need to do all this?

Simple.

I don't want to die and be reborn without my memories.

What is the point of living if you have no memory?

Memory is what gives life meaning, feeling, identity, what makes you unique and not just a copy and pasted soul in a Universal Sandbox.

And if I am to obtain Immortality at one point, I will have to also think long term and not waste a single second.

If Lorkhan, an Et'Ada himself, couldn't deal with the events of the "Final Battle", then even if I could become a God I would need to prepare like he did.

And Elika will be the first one of my allies.

Sure she is not great now, but she is young and can grow to become great, almost like finding a diamond in the rough.

I taught Elika many things and she ended up being the one to suprise me instead of the other way around. At first I did shock her with all the secrat revelations of what is true based on my past life knowledge of the Elder Scrolls Universe.

However, she left me absolutely stunned with how fast she learnt Enchanting.

Like seriously?!

She learnt how to place two enchantments on an item already!

It isn't impossible to do at any point since this is reality and not a game. In the game this would be a Level 100 skill, but it's just a way to show the players that the Twin Souls enchantment effect is a Master level technique.

Though her Enchantments were weak...obviously. but I was able to utilise this to my benefit by using it to create many pieces of equipment I would use in my experiments.

I created a full blown chemistry lab and everything required for it, I even made a Power Hammer so it can help me to forge my gear due to my weak strength as an Elf child.

All this would be noticed by someone in my small wooden shack, especially from the noise it would create...if it wasn't for the fact I made a underground mancave/base right beneath the shack with noise proof sensors.

I had Elika place two enchantments on a few spikes with soul gems attached to it.

This would do two things, one is replay the signal/connection of one sensor to the other like a Network, and two is to make the sirround vicinity of the sensor noise proof.

These tow things paired together would render the entire area noise proof and would strengthen the original Enchantment even further like a multiplier with each senor added.

...

Few days later...

"I'm nervous, what if I fail? I don't want to fail Mom and Dad." Softly said a fidgity Elika in Novice mage robes suitable for her size as a 9 year old.

"Don't worry about it, just do what you've been doing already. I can tell you with absolute certainty that you're better than a Apprentice mage in any school of Magic." I replied, which seemed to stop her moving about all over the place.

She was preparing to leave my home at the Waterfront and head to the Magic school.

She will do a small test for Novice mages and then she will be able to progress to the Imperial Magic University which is just a branch of the Mage's Guild.

In all honesty, I would have loved to go to a Magic school in fantasy world, but I just had to end up being a Falmer didn't I.

My race's fate is basically what happened to the Wild Elves/Heart-Land Elves Version 2.0

The test she had to do was easy, all she had to do was what the Player does in Skyrim to get into the Collage of Winterhold and explain it in detail.

There is a secondary test where they would take the students outside the Imperial City and use it in the practical field.

Conjuration is a Magic School that is forbidden for anyone under the age of 14 to practice.

I didn't want to use Conjuration either, for all I know if I did use ut I would lose my blessing of Auriel, that is if I even have one.

But considering that I'm a Falmer I should have it, Vyrthur used to but when he was turned into a Vampire, Auriel remove the blessing from him.

Elika had been competing against me at every chance she got in anything magic related.

Anything physically related she'd always put me in a choke hold or arm wrestle me.

I do admit that the isolation I had been feeling due to my paranoia and the consequences should I reveal myself and my race to others had led me to become quite depressed at times.

But Elika being here and having fun with me is a breath of fresh air, she isn't afraid of me nor does she detest me.

She eventually found out what race I really was but she, being a child she is, simply shrugged it off as lies even though it was true.

She read about the "Night of Tears" and the "Fall of the Snow Prince" and about the corrupted Falmer.

It was nice she is...my friend?

But how long will it actually last?

It's only a matter of time and I can't waste it on sentimental things like this.

One month later...

*Elika pov*

Siv is amazing!

I can't believe all the crazy things he knows and can do!

Siv helped me a Month ago to lass my exams and now I'm finally going to the Magic University/Academy!

Mom and Dad were proud of me and I was really happy.

Mom is always serious and held high expectations of me, but she wasn't as strict as many would think.

She never punished me even when I didn't do what she asks of me, she would just be sad.

Even though Mom was against me going to learn Magic at first, Dad had convinced her to let me learn it.

Then a few years later I was kidnapped by some Khajiit that gave me to some High Elves that kept me in a bag inside a abandoned building at the Waterfront.

I had heard fighting and before I knew it I was saved by a boy covered head to toe in cloth wrappings.

It was embarrassing but I attacked him on reflex and before I know it we went back to my home.

He really didn't wnat to come inside my home and I was quite angry I couldn't repay my gratitude to him...so I took him inside...by choking him...he asked for it by refusing so many times. Not my fault!

After that I saw he was a White Elf with skin as pale as snow, he had features like a Breton who are setimes known as Half Elves.

Before I knew it, we were friends and he was teaching me Magic!

But not any Magic but something special!

He was amazing at it and I was jealous of him!

It was then I had a determination to be better than him in magic, even though I can't learn them as fast as he does he did say mine had more "Innate Firepower".

And so if I wanted to be better than him I needed to be the top of my class and I tried my hardest to study.

He laughed at me saying I couldn't be better than him if I still.held onto my pride and refused to ask for help.

And so that is exactly what I did!

He was suprised at first but he then had a smile!

It was sthe first time he genuinely did that within the few weeks I had been with him.

And just like that two months passed from our first meeting when he had saved me, and now I was attending the Magic Academy.

If you have read my Star Wars: Rise of Mandalore fanfic then you will know I had readers contribute with their own OCs into the story.

I am open to that as I like to involve the Reader's own characters into my story and try to make it like you all are apart of it as well through those OCs you contribute.

feel free to give any if you like, even Falmer OCs (as in Pure Snow Leves not the Corrupted Falmer) or even a Dwemer.

but no CHIM or Gods OCs

that break Cannon immersion
