He was quite tall and well built. He had raven black hair that trailed down to the bottom of his neck. He wore dark armor but held no weapons. His skin was pale, like a white canvas for his crimson red eyes to lay on.
"What do you want"
"Well arnt you social"
"I asked you a question"
"You know, your not being very nice to a guy who saved your life"
He looked up and stared you straight in the eye.
"Im sorry, Thank you"
You lowered your weapon and returned his gaze.
"That's more like it"

He stood up and began to approach you. He stopped a few inches away and gave you a hard gaze which caused you to lower your head.
"Why did you call me here?"
"Because you owe me something"
"What?!"
You raised your head back up and stared at him in confusion until a smirk began to grow upon his face. This caused a pit in your stomach to form.
"You owe me your life, since i saved it"
You sighed since you knew what he was right.
"What do you want me to do"
His expression turned serious and he began to walk around you like a vulture.
"Very soon you will be asked to full fill your destiny and kill Alduin the world eater?"
"Yeah, so?!"
"My request is..."
He stopped right in front of you and lent down so you could feel his hot breath on your cheeks.

"Don't kill Alduin"
"What are you mad!? I cant do thant!"
He backed up and chuckled slightly.
"Of cause you can
"No i cant, Alduin must die!"
"Why?"

You we're taken back for a moment when he said this. You didnt know why, maybe it was how calm he said it or the way he looked at you like there was no reason at all to kill Alduin .
"Because..."
You struggled to fined words and stuttered when you tried.
"Because its the only thing you know, its the only thing people have told you since you left this place, correct?!"
His sudden outburst stunned you and left you frozen and speechless, unable to reply.
"Exactly, but the problem is, what else are you meant to do? Its not like you remember where you came from or who your family are or even who you are"
He was right, the only thing you remembered about your old life was your first name. Its not like anyone actually used it. People usually called you dragon born.

"What if I told that if you let him live, he would grant your deepest desires"
You paused for a moment before replying.
''I'm fine thanks, I don't want anything''
This made him chuckle and pull an amused face.
''Oh my dear, everyone wants something, even a king wishes for more power and a rich man wishes for more wealth''
''I don't care for any of that''
''Oh I know, you want something more precious''
You searched my mind to try and think what he could be talking about. You looked at him in confusion but he simply smirked before turning and walking away. You called after him but it was no use he was gone...
