The Dragoon In Skyrim

They took three days to arrive at a place they could get a glimpse of Highever as the Mages were quite exhausted from the ride when Arthur says, "I think we went too far."

"Even Bethany could hold on without problems," says Vincent as the three women behind him began to cough to signaling something.

"That's because she is riding a Chocobo instead of a horse, dear," says Kirvena as she pointed out that Bethany was riding on the comfortable Chocobo and not on a stiff horse's back.

"Yes, those Chocobos are quite comfortable. I always had a take a break when I was younger after riding a horse for too long," says Leandra as she reminisced about her past.

"I know what you mean before I used a Chocobo I needed to take more breaks to reach one destination since horses aren't that devoted to their riders," says Karliah as she had the most experience in riding horses before changing onto a Chocobo.

"Anyway from today on, they won't need to ride a horse any longer. Once on the continent, they could get their own Chocobo," says Vincent as they arrived at the gates of Highever.

The guards see the Legion and open the gates knowing who it was as one of them went to the castle to inform that the Ambassador returned.

"I didn't know that they would have welcomed us that friendly when they saw the Legion," says Daylen when they were riding slowly no because they were in the city to not disturb the people that were walking beside them.

"It's because the Ambassador is a friend of my family. It's the only way I can explain it," says Elissa to her lover as he became nervous to meet the parents of Elissa.

Suddenly a man in armor with the same hair stopped them and says, "Vincent welcome back. It seems your journey wasn't complicated."

"It wasn't, Arthur did a good job. But I think I brought you a little surprise before taking the ship back to Denerim," says Vincent as Aedan looked at Vincent confused when Vincent smiles and says, "Let's not spoil the surprise. Could the castle accommodate me and some people like last time?"

"Of course but your Legion needs to sleep in the inn as always," says Aedan as Vincent nods.

"But first let us get to the ship to board our steeds," says Vincent as Aedan nods and guides them to the docks making the people see that they weren't a danger to Highever.

After leaving their steeds with the stable master on the ship, Arthur looked at Vincent and asks, "Shouldn't we tell him?"

"Not yet. It's a surprise after all," says Vincent as he turns to the Hawke family and the Mages while saying, "Can you six stay behind for a moment. Leandra and Conner, please join Arthur and my wives we will be done in a moment."

Leandra leaves since she already knew what will be happening. Kirvena already told her that Vincent would try to adopt them since they are all quite headstrong and Conner left because he was made to follow orders after all.

"I have an offer to present you six with," says Vincent as they looked at him confused when Vincent continues, "Garrett already knows the offer since I offered him already in Lothering but now that we are on the ship. I will ask the other five the same question."

All were curious about it when Vincent says, "I want to adopt you all but since you are already grown up I can't do that except you allow me to do that."

"Why would you want to adopt us?" asks Anders suspiciously as he didn't know that Tamriel doesn't have Circles. The only that knew that was Bethany and she was holding the secrets Vincent shared with her as promised.

"That's right we are Mages don't you fear that it will damage the reputation of the Highwind Family," says Daylen as Vincent begins to laugh at that.

"Bethany how about you tell them what I told you," says Vincent as she got allowed to talk about this topic.

"In Tamriel, there are no Circles," says Bethany as everyone was taken aback by it when Vincent's hand flame up as fire was surrounding it.

"That's right we don't have circles because everyone in Tamriel is born with the gift of magic. The same goes for you two," says Vincent as he meant Garrett and Carver and continues, "Once we are on the ocean towards Tamriel you will feel something in your body change as Magicka begins to enter your body."

"You will be able to use magic like everyone else," says Vincent as the mages were quite surprised to hear that.

"But what about the Veil and the Fade?" asks Elissa not believing it completely when Vincent nods.

"Good examples let me tell you the trust of both then," says Vincent as the flames subside, and suddenly stars appeared on the roof.

"Magic comes from the stars. The Veil was manmade by a Mer in your language Elf. He was Fen'Harel maybe it says something to you," says Vincent when he gets interrupted.

"An elf created the Veil," says Anders confused as if it was too much for him.

"Indeed, he was so angry at the other Elven Gods that he caged them behind the Veil. But the Fade you call is Quagmire a dangerous place for a normal mortal. That's because Vaermina resides there," says Vincent as they looked at him seriously since Vincent mentioned her before.

"She is the Dreamweaver. She can give you good dreams or nightmares and you don't want to be in one of her nightmares. I was only twice in Quagmire with my real body and I can tell you that it's quite a dark place if you make a mistake it's over," says Vincent as they looked at him seriously since they were told that the Magister of Old brought the Darkspawn by entering the Fade physically.

"Then you don't have Darkspawn on your continent?" asks Bethany as she looked at Vincent.

"No and yes, we don't have them yet. That's why we are here to deal with them while they are still on Thedas. They are made by someone quite as strong as Vaermina. It's no wonder that the Archdemon looks like a Dragon after all," says Vincent as all looked at him confused.

"Peryite is also a Daedric Prince as Vaermina. He must have created the Darkspawn with a little help of Namira for Vaermina. Vaermina can be quite angry if someone enters Quagmire unannounced," says Vincent knowing it since he was lucky enough to get the Skull of Corruption and Orb of Vaermina from there.

"This all has nothing to do with why you want to adopt us," says Anders reminding everyone why they were there in the moment.

"That's right, but I needed to tell you about it since you could become my sons and daughters," says Vincent as a chair appears and he sits down while saying, "If you become a son or daughter of mine many doors will open for you once you arrive on Tamriel."

"Like what?" asks Garrett as he wasn't really convinced by it.

Vincent sighs as the roof turned normal and Vincent says, "I can't tell you more since you aren't my children. Once you become my adopted child I can tell you more and even who I truly am."

"How about this those that don't want to be my children should leave the room," says Vincent as Garrett left as Carver wanted to follow when Bethany still stood where she was.

This made Carver suspicious as he stood still too beside his sister not wanting to let her alone when Garrett says, "What are you two doing come let's get out of here."

"I'm staying brother," says Bethany as she made her mind up.

"Carver?" asks Garrett as he looks at his younger brother.

"I will keep her accompanied," says Carver as Garrett sighs at how stubborn both were that he walked back to them.

Anders, on the other hand, had no trouble leaving as he wanted to be free. Daylen wanted to stay behind since he doesn't even remember his family because he was taken when he was four. Having a family even if not his real one would be good and with him being the son of the Ambassador he could marry Elissa without too much of a problem.

Elissa was split since she didn't know what to do when Vincent says, "You all will still remain with your last name just that a Highwind will be added to it. I did that with my fourth child who I adopted. She was known as Runa Fair-Shield Highwind."

"Was?" asks Elissa as Vincent nods.

"Are you all willing to become my children?" asks Vincent as four of them nod immediately while Garrett nods unwillingly when Vincent says, "Good then it's time that you find out who your father really is."

Vincent had suddenly his spear in his hand and hits the ground while saying, "What I tell you will stay between us until we reach Tamriel if someone goes against it he will be punished by the Family Law. Do you all understand?"

All five nod as Vincent smiles at them. He suddenly summons a painting and they see it and read the name and title engraved on the frame as they open their eyes wide when Vincent says, "That's right, I'm the First Emperor of the Highwind Empire."

"But-," says Garrett as his family heard from Kirvena that the First Emperor died long ago while Arthur told Elissa and Daylen

"How am I alive," says Vincent as four of them nodded while Bethany thought about what she saw before.

"It's because you are a Dragon, am I right?" says Bethany as she guessed while her brothers looked at her surprised.

"That's not the reason. It can be seen as a gift or curse from one of the 9 Divines. You will learn from them once you are on Tamriel and learn that the Maker is Akatosh my father," says Vincent as he looks at their faces and could see that everything was too much for them when he smiles and says, "But we have so much time that I don't need to tell you everything right now."

"Now to memories this day," says Vincent as five emblems with two Dragons appear in his hand and he walks towards everyone and puts them in their hands while saying, "Those emblems represent the Highwind Family. When someone from Tamriel or Akavir sees them they will give you a discount and the law will close an eye or two if you get into a brawl."

"Did brawls happen often?" asks Carver as Vincent sighs.

"Too much, but in Skyrim that's normal to brawl twice a day while drinking," says Vincent as he looked at them and continues saying, "Many of my children died quite long ago as you could guess when I named Runa to all of you. Men die quite fast compared to Mer on Tamriel and Akavir. I really hope that you all will lead a good life once there."

Vincent then puts his spear away as the chair and the painting disappeared as well when Elissa asks, "But why two Dragons instead of one and why are they black and white?"

"That can be answered simply just look at me," says Vincent as they all look at him when suddenly all turned dark and they could see two Dragons behind Vincent. One was Black and the other was White, they looked at the five when Vincent says, "The Twin Dragons were created by my aura if we say it simply."

The room turned normal again as the Dragons weren't visible any longer when Vincent says, "From today you are a Highwind. You don't fear Dragons they are your family since your father us their King."

They wanted to ask questions when Vincent says, "We can talk later but first we should go out and see Elissa's real parent. We can talk more once we sail tomorrow to Denerim."

They leave the room as Kirvena and Karliah were the first to welcome them as they hugged their new children before letting them go. They walked together as they arrived outside where Aedan and Arthur was waiting with Flemeth, Morrigan, Leandra, Connor, and Anders.

They see that the five had all an emblem on their clothes that looked like the flag hissed on the ship as Leandra was happy as well as sad about it when Vincent placed his hand on her shoulder and says, "They still are your children just that they now are named Hawke Highwind."

"Aedan we can now go to the castle but first let me present you someone," says Vincent as he grabs Elissa and says, "This is Elissa Cousland Highwind. She is your sister."

Aedan was stunned that hard that he didn't move when Arthur looks at his brother and says, "I think you broke him."

This made everyone laugh when suddenly Aedan hit his younger brother and hugged his little sister for a long moment telling her how much he missed her.
