Hybridtale-The Return of the Dragons

Chapter 17: Reuniting with Relatives

Sovngarde was a heavenly place filled with a dense fog. The sky looked like all shorter wavelengths of light were heading toward it. Develyn would use Clear Skies, but the fog returned.

"I'm assuming Alduin is behind this thick fog," Develyn stated.

"Hopefully we find Frisk here, she'll still look like her young self though," Andy stated.

"I dunno, she got inducted into the Pantheon from what I last heard, so she's probably really busy," Asriel explained. A soldier from the Skyrim Civil War from 1054 AD came to warn to the trio that the fog is too dangerous and a dragon has been eating his squadmates. 

"So that's his plan, he devours the souls of the dead to come back stronger, we have to stop him before he comes back and annihilates this world," Develyn explained.

As the trio plunged through the deep fog, Alduin swooped down at random spots, supposedly to pick up and eat the soldiers. The trio soon cleared the mist afterward, before them was the Hall of Valor. However, the bridge is guarded by Tsun, an ancient Nord warrior. He was fascinated by Develyn's appearance.

"So, you wish to enter the Hall of Valor, beat me in battle, then I'll grant you access," Tsun explained.

"I'm Dragonborn, I might have the edge in this one," Develyn stated.

"We'll see about that then," Tsun stated. It was close battle of who was really gonna draw blood first. Tsun and Develyn blocked both their attacks, but Develyn landed a serious gash across Tsun's stomach after a several minutes. "Well played, go on ahead," Tsun stated as the trio crossed the bridge.

The Hall of Valor is the gathering ground for all the heroes throughout history, such as Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, and so many more.

"Greetings young ones, must I ask who you are after?" Ysgramor asked.

"I'm after my relatives, ones who fought in the Dragon War nine thousand years ago," Develyn answered.

"Are you really? Do you have concrete proof?" Ysgramor asked.

Develyn revealed his physical soul. Despite the cracks of black and crimson red, which signify the Hate and Vengeance in his system, the soul was Hybrid. "Here you go sir," Develyn stated.

"Unbelievable," Ysgramor whispered, "I'll lead you toward them."

The first three Hybrids were sitting around having a lengthy conversation until they were stopped. "Who is this young man you bring before us?" Hakon asked.

"He claims to be a very distant relative of yours, he has the proof as well, the people nearby are his friends," Ysgramor explained.

"We're family, not friends," Asriel clarified.

"What? Alright then, which line? Dagon? Septim? Or Golden-Hilt?" Hakon asked.

"I was a Dagon when I was born, but the name is no longer in circulation since I've been a Dreemurr for the past several years," Develyn answered

"So you're one of mine, what's your name?" Hakon asked.

"Develyn," Develyn answered.

"Interesting name, One-Eye is my middle name, apart from the fact that I wield two eyes that function clearly, what's your middle name?" Hakon asked.

"I have two. Stendarr and Talos. If you put it this way, my full name is Develyn Stendarr Talos Dreemurr," Develyn explained.

"Hey Felldir, he has your distant son as a middle name," Hakon stated.

"Such honor among Nords to share names," Felldir stated.

"Listen, let's back off this reunion, I'm here for a reason," Develyn stated.

"What must it be then?" Hakon asked.

"Alduin has a plot to destroy Nirn, and I need your guys's help to dispose of him," Develyn explained.

"Well, I do remember watching my sister Gormlaith fall to Alduin nine thousand years ago, and me and Felldir sending him forward. But to see a distant offspring doing what we did thousands of years ago is something we can help out with," Hakon explained.

"Thanks, what should we do?" Develyn asked.

"Well, that mist is bugging us, clearing it will make Alduin suspicious, he will come down and attack eventually," Hakon explained.

"You sure you wanna do this?" Gormlaith asked.

"Let's do it, it'll save the world," Develyn answered.

"Tell your buddies to be careful, I hate for them to die here only to reawaken as a permanent resident of his place," Felldir warned. The first three Hybrids, along with the trio headed out into the open space of Sovngarde, going into a valley, where the final battle will take place.
