Arngeir stood before the treaty to speak.

"Now that everyone is here, please take your seats so we can begin. I hope that we have all come here in the spirit of..."

"No. You insult us by bringing her to this negotiation? Your chief Talos-hunter?"

Ulfric interrupted addressing Elenwen as he did. This caused some to mutter between themselves.

Rikke: That didn't take long.

Galmar: Hear, hear!

Balgruuf: Diplomatic as usual.

Ulfric, Tullius and Elenwen began arguing between themselves until it was decided that Elenwen was too stay.

"Now that that's settled, may we proceed?"

When everyone was sat down the negotiation began. One side demanded that they be given a major hold. The other side requested a hold in exchange. Both sides put forward a hold, however Tullius was not pleased with the offer put forward. He announced that the terms are completely unacceptable and threatened to walk out but before he could Esbern spoke out.

Esbern: Stop! Are you so blind to our danger that you can't see past your petty disagreements? Here you sit arguing about... nothing! While the fate of the land hangs in the balance!

Ulfric: Is he with you, Delphine? If so, I advise you to tell him to watch his tongue.

Delphine: He is with me. And I advise you both to listen to what he has to say, before you do anything rash.

Esbern: Don't you understand the danger? Don't you understand what the return of the dragons means? Alduin has returned! The World-Eater! Even now, he devours the souls of your fallen comrades! He grows more powerful with every soldier slain in your pointless war! Can you not put aside your hatred for even one moment in the face of this mortal danger?

Elenwen: A very pretty speech, but what does it have to do with...

Ulfric: Shut up. If he's right about Alduin... we both have just as much to lose here, Tullius, remember that. 

Tullius grumbled as he sat back down like a child not getting its own way.

"Don't hand me a mug of sheep's piss and call it Colovian brandy. These terms are still not acceptable."

After suggesting additional truce terms and so you could even out the overall agreement a deal was finally made. Anger summarised all of the terms that had been agreed upon so far, and confirmed those terms with each of the parties. Tullius and Ulfric both agreed (albeit with some grumbling), and the meeting was adjourn. Most of the parties headed back to their respective cities, except the Greybeards, the Blades, and the Jarl, remained to talk with you about how to proceed with trapping a dragon. Esbern tort you that the names of dragons are always three words of power, and informed you that while you were preparing the negotiations, he retrieved a scroll listing the names of many of the dragons slain by the Blades. Cross-checking it with Delphine's map of Dragon Burials, he discovered that the next dragon's name is Odahviing. 

"While he won't be compelled to come when called, dragons are, by nature, prideful creatures, and he will not ignore this challenge. Your victory in your previous battle against Alduin will make him even more likely to respond to your Voice"

You listened to Esbern as he tort you the shout to call Odahviing. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You returned back to Dragonsreach to prepare and spring the trap with the help of Jarl Balgruuf. You went behind the throne room and up the stairs. you made your way into a large room with a humongous opening with a wide balcony. Once prepared you singled to the Jarl and walked out onto the balcony.

  "Toor... Shul!

You waited in silence, the only sound that could be herd was the steady beating of your heart until it came. The loud booming roars of a dragon. very soon after a large red dragon flew past he turned and began attacking. It killed multiply guards until you we're finally able to land it using Dragonrend. you lead him into the building where a large wooden yoke fell and snapped around his neck, holding him in place.
