The Dragoon In Skyrim - Volume 1 Chapter 112 The Dalish And Anora
The same month ten Dalish landed in Highwind City while Varric was walking with Vincent as he says, “It seems your city became a refuge for people fleeing the Blight.”
“It seems so,” says Vincent as he approached the group that was confused about being in a city that had almost no people in it.
“Welcome to Highwind City,” says Vincent as he looked at the group when he recognizes Theron, Lyna, and Marethari.
Theron wasn’t looking that good as he was pale and black veins could be seen on his body making it obvious that he was tainted.
Vincent pushed everyone away from him as he takes a syringe out and rams it directly into Theron. The syringe had the vaccine they developed inside. Then he takes a vial out and puts a drop of the fluid in it into the water and let Theron drink it making him feel no pain any longer.
Lyna tried to grab Vincent by his collar only to find out that she couldn’t pull him down when Lyna says, “If he dies, I will kill you.”
“He won’t die. I see him as my son and no Highwind will ever die to an illness again,” says Vincent as he looked angry at her.
“When has he become your son,” says a woman angry at him when Lyna walked over to her to calm her down.
“He became my son the moment he used the emblem I gave him. It seems you needed my help more than anything,” says Vincent as Varric wanted to say something but Vincent stopped him.
“We were attacked by Darkspawn. Most of our people died by their hand when Theron showed us the emblem and told us what to say to use it. He told us that only ten people could be saved so we took the ten most important ones with us,” says Marethari as Vincent sighs.
“You will be sharing a house until Theron is awake. The warriors will be joining my children in training since I don’t want them to burn a house down by accident while the mages will also join my other children to learn how to defend themselves,” says Vincent as he guided them to the house while everyone was confused with what Vincent meant until they felt something warm in their body.
Theron was laid down on a bed when Vincent took the people away when Vincent says, “If I hear or see a racist thing from you, I will punish you with the banishment of the city.”
“We can survive in the wild,” says Lyna back when Vincent smile when Ash Spawn appears beside him scaring the Dalish.
“You will have to fight against those once you are outside the city. This one is quite tame but the ones outside are mere beasts that want to kill you and they aren’t hunting alone,” says Vincent scaring the Dalish as they never saw something like that before when Vincent makes it disappear again.
“You will follow the rules or in the worst case it won’t be banishment but death that will await you,” says Vincent as they followed him.
They weren’t accustomed to walking on an even street as they arrived at a house where Bryce, Eleanor, and Oriana were learning Magic. He left the oldest of them there while the youngest followed him towards the training ground.
Once there he split the group with the Mages going to join Elissa and the other Mages while Lyna was joining the Warriors. You would believe that the older ones would be learning the fastest but that wasn’t true.
The young ones were learning faster than the older ones making Oren and the other children advance faster in Magic then both groups since they were an unwritten page in a book.
Vincent was fast with punishments against the Dalish but the punishments were always fair compared to the crime they did.
Vincent didn’t need another Thalmor fraction on his Empire making it quite clear to them while telling them about the history of Tamriel that he would burn rather a city full of innocent people just to kill all the bad apples.
This made something clear to the Dalish and it was that he would kill them if they don’t become obedient and follow the laws.
Once they became less hostile they found out that Vincent and the others saw through their body only seeing them as the individuals they are.
The months passed and Vincent was receiving reports about what was happening in Ferelden from Lucia that was still in Thedas overwatching the Qunari.
Ferelden seems to be fighting alone with Aedan leading the Grey Wardens that survived Ostagar. He knew that the Tower of Ishal was a death trap and lead his companion out of there once the flame was ignited as they retreated leaving the others to die.
Cailan died on the battlefield making Vincent kind of sad after reading it as he says, “He wasn’t made to be King. He was still too young and immature.”
“You can’t do anything against it,” says Akatosh who was worried about his son.
“You are right but still I liked him a lot. He reminded me of Torygg before he became King. Young and naive thinking he could solve everything by being on the frontline,” says Vincent as he sighs before putting the doc.u.ment away.
“Sometimes I think I did the wrong not taking you earlier towards Aetherius making you a Divine,” says Akatosh seeing his son as Vincent began to laugh hearing that.
“I would feel even more lonely up there. I would rather feel this pain and know that I’m still alive than levitating over everyone feeling only pity for my descendants. I don’t deserve to enter Aetherius until my people are safe of every danger that could befall them,” says Vincent as he smiled as his father before looking out of the window seeing his children training.
“I might be remembered as the Divine of War, Peacekeeping and Protection the longer I live,” says Vincent as he sat down again when a letter appears.
It was a letter for Mina from Lucia when Akatosh says, “It seems I will get a new daughter-in-law soon.”
“I hope not. I really like the peace I have for now with my five wives, the wife-candidate, and all of my children. Taking another wife now would make my children ask themselves why I haven’t taken a Men or Mer as a wife. I don’t need that right now,” says Vincent as he saw it as an inconvenience.
He walked towards the door as he turns and asks, “Do you want to meet your grandchildren?”
“No, I already met them even if they didn’t know I was their grandfather,” says Akatosh as he left again while Vincent left the office to meet with Mina who was with the Cousland family right now.
He entered the room and says, “I have a letter from my favorite daughter for you.”
“Your favorite daughter?” asks Eleanor confused as she now knew who Vincent was.
“Yes, his favorite daughter is the first child he adopted,” says Mina as she takes the letter and opens it and reads it with a smile that scared Vincent because he knew that smile.
“You seem happy,” says Bryce as he sees Mina’s smile.
“Yes, our daughter has found a nice Qunari woman for her father to marry,” says Mina surprising both Bryce and Eleanor as Eleanor almost sprayed Bryce with the drink in her mouth.
“You are really alright with that?” asks Eleanor as Mina nods.
“Yes, with the child born between both the Empire could implement Seheron and Par Vollen into itself. He would become my child as well as all the other children born between us women and adopted by Vincent,” says Mina as the couple was surprised by what Mina said.
Vincent then left while sighing when Bryce asks, “Why hasn’t he married a Fereldian Woman?”
“Because we don’t plan on invading Ferelden. Didn’t Arthur tell you about it,” says Mina as they now understood it.
Vincent can compromise with marrying someone as long as they are from the empire but wouldn’t marry someone out of it since he didn’t see the benefit of it.
“So he married many women already but why are only 5 still around?” asks Eleanor as Mina had a sad face.
“Because they either died because of child labor or old age. Vincent like everyone else don’t take it well when one died but he keeps pushing forward because of the children and the remaining wives. But it seems he will be marrying twice again,” says Mina as she put the letter away.
“Twice wasn’t he only marrying a Qunari?” asks Bryce as Mina shakes her head.
“He will be marrying Mako as well. She is a Great Dragon in Humanoid form or how Vincent says ‘an Au-Ra’,” says Mina informing both while they spend time together.
Vincent adopted Theron, Lyna, Merrill, Pol, Variel, Maren, and Fenarel. The others were too old as it were Ashalle the foster mother of Theron and Lyna, then Marethari and the Mastercraftsman Ilen.
Maren wasn’t made to fight so he let her do her favorite job taking care of their mounts. The others were put to work as Ilen learned new ways of creating weapons and armor without using hides and wood.
Ashalle learned magic from Anra or Serana while Marethari learned from Mina personally if she was done with the children.
Everything was going perfectly fine until the day Anora appeared with a Mer and holding a child in her arms. This made many things go down the trench.
She was quite hysterical because Arl Howe imprisoned her and her newborn child in the Arl of Denerim Manor while her father was going slowly crazy.
This made Bryce and Eleanor as well as Arthur angry hearing that. She told them about the crimes they were committing in Ferelden right now like selling the Mers living in the Alienage to Tevinter so they had funds to win the civil war that was plaguing Ferelden right now.
Many asked Vincent to do something against it when Vincent hit the ground with his spear making it shake calming everyone down that was getting too heated up by this as he says, “The Empire can’t send people to Ferelden. I have told you that before. If we were to send our remaining Legions to Ferelden. Tamriel and Akavir would be defenseless and one of the Daedric Prince would try some ploy to take it to Oblivion.”
“What about the ones in the North?” asks Arthur as Vincent shakes his head.
“They can’t move until the Emperor says so. I’m not the Emperor any longer. You have to understand that I was the Emperor but I don’t make the decisions. The decisions are made by my son. I just present them to him and he decides to execute them or ignore them,” says Vincent as they were all pale from hearing that.
“Also, it seems that Aedan is handling the situation quite well. He and the Arl of Redcliffe are doing there best to stop Loghain so stop worrying,” says Vincent as Kallian and the other Mers weren’t that calm hearing that.
“What about our people?” asks Kallian as Vincent smiled at that.
“They should be under the Qunari by now. Do you really think that we wouldn’t do anything against that. The Ben-Hassrath is dealing with that right now,” says Vincent making Kallian and her group feel relief from hearing that.
“What about me? I need to return as the Queen of Ferelden and my son Maric as the rightful heir of it,” says Anora as Vincent sighed.
“Don’t worry about that. Maric Therein will sit on the throne of Ferelden since he is the legitimate heir to it but let his uncle rule for now,” says Vincent surprising everyone as no one knew about what he was talking about.
