Red Dragon Emperor Of Madness

Chapter 3

Clouds of white escaped from the bundle of cloth and fur as a pair of young people easily trudged through the roads. The taller of the two turned around, a hand on a beautiful elk with strong muscles. 

"Asia! Over here!" The man shouted. The young man wore an ordinary gambeson with a leather jacket compared to his companion. Patting the elk, the young man watched his robe-clad companion running after him. 

It had been a few hours since they first woke up and headed to the trader's store to buy some supplies. As the Duke of Mania, money was not an issue. All he needed to do was connect a portal from his treasure hoards and he was set. Now, his money would have been impacted by inflation that's why he used gemstones instead. 

Securing a good set of equipment, restoration mage robes, quality boots, and a necklace with frost resistance to fight against the bitter colds of Skyrim. Not only that, he added some backpacks, cloaks, potions, and a smoking pipe with some herbs. After that, they bought some weapons from Alvor. A standard steel dagger and bow for Asia while a Breton-style Hand-and-a-half sword along with another steel dagger. 

"Coming, Issei!" Asia replied, smiling as the deer walking by her side licked her cheek. It was a sight the young man found adorable, rarely did he see anyone well-loved by animals. He didn't count, the animals' love for him was a blessing after all. 

"It's fine," 

"So, have you been to Skyrim before?"

"Well, yes. I've been to the city of Winterhold before, a friend of mine works in the college of Winterhold. It's a magical learning institute that allows everyone that can use magic to join." 

"By the lord's grace," Asia whispered. The thought of magic being accessed by anyone fascinated the innocent priestess. 

"There are a lot of them but the college of Winterhold is very old. At least several thousands of years old," The young man did not know when Shalidor exactly built the college but he respected the man. 

"Are you a knight, Issei?" 

"Yes, I'm a member of the Knights of the White Stallion stationed in Leyawiin, the Knights of the Thorn in Cheydinhal as an honorary knight, the Knights of the Lamp of the Arcane University, and some orders." 

"Should I call you Sir Issei?" 

"Please don't call me that, Asia," 

Answering the questions of the former holy maiden, the young Knight walked with her, keeping an eye on his surroundings while answering her questions. No wild beasts would attack them with him nearby. Did Mazoga live a good life as a Knight? Did that lazy Dunmer inherit Cheydinhal? Thousands of questions cycled in his mind as he answered the questions given to him by the priestess. 

"Eek!" Feeling the ground shake, the young man held his sword strapped on his waist along with his dagger, ready to move at a moment's notice. 

"A giant, huh?" The young man said, looking at the humanoid creature wielding a club standing taller than the building they just passed by. "Those are..." 

A young man with long black hair clad in steel ducked under a blow from the giant, sliding his greatsword on the giant's leg, opening a wound. Several arrows soared through the sky, piercing the giant's fur-clad back while a young woman used her sword to cut the giant's leg. 

"Asia, stand back," Standing in front of the Holy maiden, a black bow appeared in front of the young man with red 'veins' embedded in the design. Light purple arrows appeared on his hand, between his fingers, and with frightening ease, three arrows soared through the sky, piercing the Giant's skin.
