Just a Skyrim fanfic: Extended cut

The summit of apocrypha

Leonidas: Did I miss anything?

Maximus: I found the treasure of pirates. And I killed a thalmor agent named Ancarion after we rescued the blacksmith here

Serana: I killed an undead general and killed some guy named Mogrul after he threatened me

Leonidas: Excellent work

Maximus: Where are you with stopping Miraak?

Leonidas: I have two of the three words of power I need for my bend will shout. And the only way to get the third is to give Hermaus Mora the secrets of the skaal

Storn: Hermaeus Mora... old Herma-Mora himself. So he is the source of Miraak's power. Of course. We have many tales of Hermaus Mora trying to trick us into giving up our secrets to him. And now he comes again for what we have long kept from him

Leonidas: He said it's the only way he'll teach me the final word of Miraak's shout

Storn: So it falls to me to be the one to give up the secrets to our ancient enemy... As my duty as a shaman, I must guard these secrets. But I must also decide when to give them up. I believe now is the time. If I am wrong, may my ancestors forgive me. Give me the book. I will read it and speak to Hermaus Mora himself. I will make sure he lives up to his part of the bargain

Leonidas: I hope you know what you're doing

(Leonidas gives Storn the black book)

Frea: Father, you must not do this. That book is... wrong. Evil. Against everything that you have taught me my whole life

Storn: I must, Frea. It is the only way to free Solstheim forever from Miraak's shadow. There comes a time when everything must change. Nothing that lives remains the same forever. Do not fear for me, my daughter. This is the destiny that the all maker has laid out for me

Frea: I stand beside you, father, as always

Storn: I am ready for whatever the foul master of this book has in store for me

(Storn reads the black book, but he gets impaled by a black tentacle)

Hermaeus Mora: At last, the Skaal yield their secrets to me

Storn: You... liar... gah! ... I won't... not... for you...

Frea: Father! No, stop! Do something!

Hermaeus Mora: Dragonborn. You have delivered me the gift I requested. In return, I keep my promise, as befits a prince of oblivion. I give you the word of power that you need to challenge Miraak. You will be either a worthy opponent or his successor, as the tides of fate decree

Frea: Father! What have you done!? Go. My father sacrificed himself so that you could destroy Miraak and lift his master's shadow from the land. Go, then. Kill Miraak. Do not fail

(Leonidas reads the black book and gets transported to apocrypha)

(He finds a bunch of seekers and a serpentine dragon named Sahrotaar flying over him)

(After defeating the seekers, Sahrotaar tries to use his frost breath on Leonidas, who blocks it with his cape)

Leonidas: GOL HAH DOV!

(Sahrotaar stops attacking and flies to the ground near Leonidas)

Sahrotaar: Hail, thuri. Your thu'um has the mastery. Climb aboard and I will carry you to Miraak

(Miraak facepalms in the distance)

(Leonidas hops onto Sahrotaar's back, and he starts flying)

(Some seekers below try to shoot their magic rays, but are no match for Leonidas and Sahrotaar's thu'ums)
