Dovah Dah~ Elder Scrolls Fan fiction

Ch.17 "Fire"

After finally getting the Horn from Delphine after finding Alduin's Wall with Esbern (and some heavy arguing) she finally returned the Horn to the Greybeards so they could find her worthy and strong enough to hold the name of Dovahkiin. Arngeir was walking away, but Karliah needed to tell him about the shout she needed to knock Alduin out of the sky, and defeat him.

"Hey, uh, Arngeir? You got a minute?"

He turned around, "Yes?"

"I need a shout, Dragonrend, knocks dragons out of the sky, you know it?"

"Who have you been talking to?"

"The last organization of the Blades-"

"Why?" He asked skeptically. "Why have you been following them around-"

"Listen," she cut in."I don't like them either, they're not the same as they were during the Oblivion Crisis. I have only been their puppet because one of them had the Horn and she wouldn't give it up until I was done helping them. Okay? "

Arngeir sighed as he nodded,"We do not know the shout, it was lost in time."

Karliah looked down and crossed her arms,Paarthurnax.

"Could I speak to Paarthurnax then?" The Greybeard's eyes whidend."Books, and I read those stone things, Alduin's brother, secluded himself on this mountain, wouldn't he know?"

Arengeir looked down and sighed.

The seven feet of frozen solid snow crunched under her black armor. She came across two tall pillars of rock, wind rushed past it forming another gate.

She rolled her oddly stiff shoulders back as she readied herself for the next shout,"LOK VAH KOOR!"

Sky, spring, summer.

The powerful wind stopped and Karliah walked through. A Word Wall stood far away, its left side was decayed like something has been sitting there. Must be where he sits.

A screeching roar came from all around and a heavy beating of wings, a Thirty foot long tan-ish green-ish dragon flew around the towering peek of the huge mountain. His wings were a pale tan olive green and they had small holes in the membrane and large pieces of membrane was torn of from the bottom.

His horns were a dark green that looked brown, they were in a shape of a stretched out 'S', and the left one was missing a chunk from the top. They didn't look sharp, there was scales that stuck out from the bottom of his maw, they began at the front of his maw ,and the right one was cut in half, the tan green scales traveled to the back of his jaw.

He landed actually gracefully on the frozen solid snow, she got a better view of the dragon. His  razor teeth could been seen due to the dragon's snarl, didn't Durnehviir and Alduin always have the snarl? Must be a dragon thing. The sun reflected from his scales and bounced back at the sky. A large visible scar laid from his nose  down to the bottom of his jaw. Three spikes laid on the top of his nose.

Despite his great age visibly showing Karliah thought that he was gorgeous. What caught her eyes was his, grey, some dull green, blue, dull purple and specks of a lighter grey swirled in them. He studied her as she took off her black and silver helmet.

Her sky blue eyes danced with curiosity with the large dragon.

After a few more seconds of silence the dragon spoke, "Drem Yol Lok. Greetings, Wunduniik. I am Paarthurnax. Who are you? What brings you to my Strunmah... My Mountain?"

Karliah leaned on her left leg with crossed arms and she smiled, slyly,"So, you're the Master of the Graybeards?"

"They see me as their master. Wuth. Onik. Old and Wise. It is true, I am old." Karliah sighed and tipped her head. He looked down and shook his head, breaking out of his thoughts."Tell me. Why do you come here, vollaan? Why do you intrude on my meditation?"
