We stand and watch as Alduin dies. His soul flows into you with a roar. All that is left is bone and scale. We are both congratulated and harrowed as heroes. After resting we are both sent back to our world.

I wake up sitting at the throat of the world alone. You aren't next to me. I start to panic and look for you but stop when Paarthurnax greets me. I drop to me knees.

"Where is she... Paarthurnax... where?"

He huffs a moment before responding.

"We do not... feel her yet. Her thu'um is yet to return. "

I growl.

"Search."

He raises his eyebrow. Then laughs.

"You cannot command us to do anything youngling."

My eyes burn and I glare at him.

"You will search, or you all will be crushed."

My own thu'um coming out deeper than before. So, it begins. I sit and meditate searching all of Skyrim for your life. Everyday... every hour...Yet, nothing.

Five months go by. It's just about time for the baby and nobody can find you. It's as if you have ceased to exist. My reach of life sight has reached the borders of Skyrim. Still nothing. I sigh, only for my eyes to flash open when I see a small spark. Something new. I look out and grin. Dashing to edge of the mountain before jumping. I fall and fall. Before hitting the ground, I speak.

"Feim"

I touch the ground and run. As fast as I can towards this new spark of life. I see a large tomb. New...Yet old. As I enter, I can feel the spark getting closer with every step. I open the inner door and see you, floating above a pool of blood, heavy with child. I rush forward and you lower into my arms. You wake up just as I carry you out of the tomb.

"Princess its... it's been so long..."

You groan and rub your eyes before speaking.

"Mmmm how... how long...."

I shudder, telling you how long it's been and how I've been searching everywhere. When we finally step foot into your home in Whiterun, I set you down on your bed. I pull the fur blanket over both of our bodies.

"You have no idea how hard it was to search and wait..."

You smile and cup my face before yawning.

"Mmm it's almost time... I can tell."

I rub your belly and smile. We both fall asleep quickly, holding onto your belly.
