The Dragoon In Skyrim - Volume 1 Chapter 121 Drake's Fall
Vincent was on Behemoth while Mina was on Lily when Mina says, “So we are going to help Aedan kill some Monsters.”
“Exactly,” says Vincent as he looks at Mina who was in her armor when he says, “If we were alone I would have ravished you tonight but we are with company.”
“Yeah, I miss the old days too,” says Mina with a smile as the group they were with looked at them confused.
“Commander, are you sure it’s alright to take them with us?” asks Nathaniel as he was suspicious of the two.
“It’s alright Recruit. If it wasn’t for them we wouldn’t have been able to stop the Blight back then because I, as well as our King, would have been Dragon shit by now,” says Aedan as he was riding his horse.
Vincent looked at the group and sees a Dalish, two Dwarves, the two talking, and an undead. He was on edge because of the undead since normally they would be across him pointing their sword at him and not riding with him into the battle.
“So your name is Justice?” asks Vincent as Justice turned towards Vincent.
“That’s right. But don’t be confused by my appearance, mortal. I’m the Spirit of Justice. I am trapped in this body when the Commander was in the Blackmarsh. They got trapped in the Fade and I helped them out by defeating a witch but she used a spell and expelled us all out making me possess this dead body,” says Justice as he was quite arrogant about being immortal not knowing that Vincent was quite Immortal as well.
“So trapped in a body. Hmm, I have some people that would like to meet you since you are the first one of the Spirit Race that I meet not mentioning the Aldmers,” says Vincent as Justice was surprised by what Vincent said.
“So you know about their origin,” says Justice as Vincent nods.
“Yes, but still why are you in that body. You could have escaped it long ago right,” says Vincent as Justice nods.
“Yes, but first I need to help the Commander to defeat the Mother and Architect and bring Justice to the people that died. Then I will give the body back to the wife of the owner so she can bury him and mourn for her husband,” says Justice as Vincent found that quite honorable if Justice said the truth.
“You are the first spirit I ever met if we don’t count Ghosts,” says Vincent as the Dalish heard Vincent.
“Ghost? You met a ghost before?” asks the Dalish as Vincent nods as well as Mina.
“Our first ghost encounter was in Morthal. It was a little girl got killed by her own father that was being controlled by a Vampir. He burned the house the girl and her mother were living in. She was still living there waiting for someone to see her,” says Vincent making people feel shivers come over their backs.
“You told that story before. In the end, you killed the Vampires responsible for that and freed the village of the Vampiric Influence,” says Aedan as he was listening to what Vincent said.
“Yes, and the girl finally found peace as she returned to her mother’s side. The man died out of old age but went every day to see both of them and lay flowers on their graves,” says Vincent as they were approaching their destination.
“We are there,” says Aedan as he jumps down from his horse.
Everyone follows as they tie their horse against a tree while Vincent and Mina had a little discussion with their Chocobos since they wanted to follow them.
“I still don’t understand why you needed to talk with your mounts that long?” asks Aedan as he walked in front.
“Chocobos are quite loyal and would follow their partners into battle. Behemoth and Lily had enough battles behind them,” says Vincent as Aedan could believe it since Vincent was over 200 years old.
“So it’s here our last battle against the Darkspawn before they return completely under the ground,” says the red-haired dwarf as he wasn’t really happy right now since they would be facing an army of Darkspawn alone.
“It wouldn’t be the first time for me to face an army alone,” says Vincent as he moved forward.
“Oghren, we faced a greater army in the Deep Road searching for Branka,” says Aedan as Oghren couldn’t say it wasn’t true since it was.
“I just hope my sister is alright,” says the Dalish as her goal in this party seemed clear.
“Velanna, you need to stay calm we will find your sister so she doesn’t become a monster,” says Nathaniel as he saw already a Broodmother and he really hated the sight of it.
“Take those,” says Aedan as he takes out two knives and hands one to Velanna and the brunette dwarf while continuing, “If we lose the women need to kill themselves. I don’t want you to suffer through hell and become a Broodmother.”
“Don’t worry we should be able to win this battle you have the Greatest Mage of Tamriel beside you,” says Vincent as Aedan looked at him when Vincent pointed at Mina who only had a pair of daggers sheathed on her belt.
“Mina is a Mage?” asks Aedan as Mina nods.
“One of the best,” says Mina as she didn’t want to compare herself with other big shots like Mannimarco and Divayth Fyr but she was near their level.
“We should find the entrance fast before a High Dragon appears,” says the brunette dwarf ss everyone nods.
“Sigrun is right we are in their graveyard after all,” says Aedan as he was wary but not worried since Vincent was around.
They find the entrance after passing some Dragon Bones that Vincent pocketed away in his bag since he could use them as material remembering why he was Amaranthine again.
“Is a smith by the name of Wade in Amaranthine?” asks Vincent as they entered the cave or ruins.
For Vincent, both were almost the same since he entered too many of them in his life when Aedan asks, “What do you want from Wade?”
“I want to talk to him from Blacksmith to Blacksmith. It’s been long since I had such a conversation,” says Vincent as he heard something nearby while the Grey Wardens pulled their weapons out.
“Enemy incoming,” says Aedan as Vincent looked in one direction while the Grey Wardens were looking from where the enemy would attack.
Suddenly white larvae began to crawl out of the direction Vincent was looking at and his stomach turned a bit from seeing that abomination that was like a hybrid of a newborn and larva.
Vincent began to pray as his body began to radiate blinding light as the light expanded before he shouted “YOL TOOR SHUL” in that direction making all the abomination burn to ash while saying, “Shall my brother bring you to a place that will bring you peace and rest.”
“What was that?” asks Velanna as she was the only mage in the group of the Grey Wardens but didn’t feel any Mana coming from Vincent at that moment.
“That is called the power of the light. The Templars on our continent can shape it to a weapon and use it to cleanse the land from evil. But Vincent is different. He uses his own light that he is storing inside him to release this Holy Aura that cleansed the whole ruin and the shout is something he inherited from his Grandfather the First Emperor,” says Mina explaining it to the group while Aedan was more suspicious of what that light and shout truly were.
“We should continue. The Holy Aura won’t last long since neither Stendarr or Arkay have much say in Thedas because of the Veil,” says Vincent as he walked deeper into the ruins.
The Darkspawn was like frozen in time while they kill them when Oghren says, “Where were you when we needed someone like you against the Blight. I don’t want to complain since it was fun but still, it would have been easier to fight it.”
“I was dealing with personal trouble,” says Vincent since raising children takes time and dedication.
They arrived at some stairs leading down as the light returned towards Vincent before he says, “From now on it won’t be this easy.”
“It never is,” says Aedan when Vincent looked up.
“You two seem to follow me since I put a foot in Amaranthine and helped the people there. If you don’t come out I will have to force you,” says Vincent as the group looked confused when Vincent and Mina pointed their weapons against a wall that had a hole in it.
“You knew I was following you?” asks a voice that the group easily recognized.
“The Architect!” shouts Aedan when Velanna had her staff ready to attack the monster that took her sister away.
“Oh, the intelligent Darkspawn that provoked the Blight by accident,” says Vincent as he looked at the three shadowy images that he could see when he summons some Candlelights to show their appearances.
There was a Darkspawn, an undead or ghoulish female dwarf and a female Mer that seemed to have been infected with the taint beside him and Velanna suddenly shouts, “Seranni!”
“Sister,” says Seranni back as she seemed not to want to be there at the moment.
“Now why were you following me?” asks Vincent as he hated to be followed except he was practicing his children’s tracking skill.
“I wanted to see the person that saved Amaranthine on his own. You killed many of my brethren. Even if they weren’t in their right mind they were still my people,” says the Architect when suddenly Vincent began to laugh from hearing that while the others looked confused at him.
“Your people don’t make me laugh. They are Peryite’s people, not yours nor anyone else. They are infected with a disease that lets Peryite control them easily,” says Vincent as everyone in the room was confused except for Mina.
“What do you mean by that?” asks the Architect when Vincent only smiled.
“Why should I tell it to you first Darkspawn,” says Vincent as the person beside the Architect now looked at him.
“Oh, he didn’t tell you. He was one of the first Magisters that entered Vaermina’s realm Quagmire. As punishment Peryite made a disease and infected them with it and sent them back to Thedas. That’s how the first Darkspawn was created or better said how you were created,” says Vincent as the people around the Architect took a step back from him suddenly.
“You don’t have any evidence for that accusation,” says the Architect angry as Vincent shakes his finger at him.
“There you are in the wrong. In the time, you provoked the Blight, I researched it. I went to visit the person that created the disease after all. He didn’t know that his disease advance that fast that a whole continent has to fear him because of it,” says Vincent as the Architect couldn’t say anything back.
“You talked to the creator of the Darkspawn,” says Nathaniel when Vincent nods.
“Peryite is the Daedra of Pestilence but he also represents something differently,” says Vincent as he looked at the Architect and says, “Medicine. He normally only infects people with a disease so we can grow stronger by finding a cure for it your people were lazy that’s why he has forsaken you to your fate.”
“He has forsaken us only because we were too lazy?” asks Aedan as he was the only one that knew more about Tamriel than anyone else.
“Yes, instead of researching it and find a cure you just waited for another Blight to appear. You had almost nine centuries time to find a cure but you still couldn’t another continent had to provide you with it and they only took a month to create it,” says Vincent as he looked at Seranni and says, “If you want to get cured cone here and I will cure you in less than a day.”
“Enough of your lies. There is no cure to the Taint,” says the Architect as he shouted at Vincent.
“You call that a shout?” asks Vincent as he was quite angry that he was challenged when he suddenly appeared to grow in the eyes of the people when he shouts “FUS RO DAH”
The force released sent the Architect flying against the roof of the cave he was standing in before Vincent jumped up and takes a Black Soul Gem out and says, “You aren’t worthy to find a peaceful death like the others that were dragged into this by you.”
Vincent was standing over the body of the Architect as he enchanted a Soul Trap onto his spear before piercing into the Architect killing it when his soul slowly was absorbed by the Black Soul Gem.
Then he opens a portal and sends the corpse through it while putting a note on it saying, ‘For Divayth, one of the First Darkspawn.’
Then he turns to Seranni and has a syringe in his hand out of nowhere before he pierced her with it and injecting it into her while saying, “Now you have to fight against the Taint and sweat it out girl then you will be freed of it.”
Seranni falls unconscious in his arms as he caught her and looked at the dwarf before saying, “You are already too late to be saved but I can pray for you that my brother takes you to a place that will bring you eternal peace.”
The Dwarf nods as Vincent puts Seranni on the ground. He gives a little prayer before killing the dwarf. Then he picks Seranni back up and jumped down towards the others again.
They were all in shock about everything that was revealed to them that even Velanna couldn’t move towards her sister from it when Vincent asks, “Can I test a weapon we created to use against the Darkspawn in the next room?”
“What weapon?” asks Aedan as Vincent takes a round ball out of his bag.
“It’s a bomb containing something that should kill all Darkspawn in its radius immediately. We couldn’t test it since we don’t have Darkspawn but the Darkspawn blood was severely damaged by the radiation of it so I would recommend not being near it if I were you,” says Vincent as Aedan nods.
“Good we will wait here until you call us. Velanna it would be for the best to look after your sister until the Ambassador and his wife return,” says Aedan when Mina looked confused.
“I’m staying here looking after the girl. Vincent can deal with it on his own,” says Mina as they looked confused when Vincent was nowhere to be seen but still heard because he shouted “WULD NAH KEST”.
