The Last Soulmate

6-House

His head felt like someone had thrown a rock at him.

"Fus ro dah!" He heard her shout before he smacked the tree. Alduin was convinced this woman was Dragonborn. He slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a room. How could he fit into that room at his- Alduin looked down to see that he was wearing a pink shift and he was in human flesh. If only he could shout that woman into shreds. Or even better, grab her in his maw and shake her until she was nothing but mincemeat. He sat up, trying to figure out how to escape.

The room opened and she walked in with a tray of food in her hands. He narrowed his eyes on her.

"Dovahkiin..." He growled.

"Well, it's nice to see you too, Alduin." She put the tray in front of him. It was eggs, some kind of grain and meat. "Also my name is Lia, not Dovahkiin."

"Lia. It fits you, weakling." He snapped at her.

"Says the guy who hit a tree and lost." Alduin narrowed his eyes on her. She was wearing a green shirt that was rather tight on her. Her looking like Aemma only made him feel worse. She poured something for him in a mug.

"I don't want that." He snapped at her again. Her face slightly twitched but she was good at keeping her composure.

"Then starve. You'd be doing us all a favor." Lia said without hesitation of any sort. She promptly left the room. Alduin tossed the tray to the ground. How dare she! His hands were twitching wildly. She had tried him. He tossed the blankets aside and got up, only to fall on the ground. His legs felt limp and achy. Cursing in dovahzul, he tried to lift himself up off the ground. How much time had passed?

Alduin was almost as old as time itself yet he felt like a fledgling trying to fit in with the other dragons. The door opened to Lia and another joor staring at him.

"You need help?" The other joor asked while Lia had a huge grin on her face.

"I do not need your assistance-" Alduin spoke as he got up and fell again. Great, now his face and his pride was wounded.

"You sure love being on the floor." Lia grinned at him. The other woman shook her head.

Watching Alduin struggle to move as a human brought me joy. Fuck being professional at this point, he deserved that one. Fricking asshole.

"You'll be ash if you keep this up, dovahkiin." He spoke.

"That actually sounds great. I wouldn't have to pay on my student loans or my credit cards anymore." I grinned at him.

Alduin showed off his teeth. Besides the red eyes and sharp canines, he looked very human. He tries to shout, only for him to start coughing.

"I guess you've been reduced to being a mortal like the rest of us." I shrug. If looks could kill, I would be a pile of ash.

"You did something to me!" Alduin hollered.

"Has it occurred to you that maybe this is a consequence of your actions?" He slams me again with a dresser (which hurts way worse than you'd imagine) and starts trying to choke me. Lydia tries to pry him off of me which results in him elbowing her in the guts.

"Harder." I manage. The look on his face is priceless as he says, "What?" and he releases enough force off of me to grab the perfume bottle that fell off Katya's dresser and spray him in the eyes with it. He lets me go as he's grabbing on to his eyes.

"ARRRRGH! MY EYES! WHY IS IT ALWAYS MY EYES?" He yells, trying to open his eyes. I hear footsteps down the hall. Serana, Bryan, and Katya appear.

"What the hell happened?" Katya yelled.

"Those two...keep them apart." Lydia says, catching her breath. How hard did he elbow her?

"Yeah, will do. I'm not losing my home." Bryan grabs me while Katya tries to calm Alduin down.

"You okay?" Bryan asked me. I look in the mirror. There's handprints where he was trying to choke me.

"It's fine. I've had it way worse." I look back at him. We walk away to the living room. I hear Alduin cursing in the other room.

"That.....woman.....I am going to-"

"Woah, there, pal. Calm down. It's just perfume."

"It stings my eyes!"

"Well, of course. Eyes are a very sensitive part of the body."

"I don't know how or when but when I get my true form back-"

"You know she can hear you, right?"

"I hope she does."

I roll my eyes. He probably would kill me with me being such a weak magic person. Oh, well. He wouldn't be the first one who tried.
