The Dawnguard Hunter

A Separate Plan

Arkinwrath flew through the cold air of Skyrim leaving Winterhold behind as he made his way back to Castle Volkihar. As he was out of sight of the inn he turned around and flew to the college.

He landed in the courtyard without anyone noticing they were too distracted. 

"Excuse me." Arkinwrath said as he got a students attention. "Where is Master Kumeron?"

The anoyyed student pointed in the direction of where Kumerons living quarters were and Arkinwrath started heading towards them pushing past several students.

Arkinwrath bumped right into Kumeron just as he was walking out the door. 

"Ah my friend." Kumeron said as he grabbed Arkinwraths hand and shook it. "It is good to see you but I have to get my classes together, you see there are dawnguard here in Winterhold asking about an Elder Scroll, and well, there are too many details, but I am busy."

"Then let me help you for now." Arkinwrath said trying to keep the mage's attention. "Because I need to talk to you about the Elder Scroll as well."

Kumeron stopped and sighed. "Then come on." 

Arkinwrath followed Kumeron as he started telling his students to to meet in the lecture hall in a few hours.

After he was finished hand had some time Arkinwrath told Kumeron of what the Elder Scroll was needed and what was going to happen with the vampires and all. 

"There will be a woman at the beginning of the ice fields, her name is Serana." Arkinwrath started. "After she kills the courier you are to follow up and travel with her."

"This all seems rather unnecessarily elaborate, how do you know all this? And-" Kumeron tried to say as he pulled out a small bottle and drank from it.

"Because I pay attention." Arkinwrath cut him off. "And that is what I need you to do. Ok?"

"You will have to have some form of compensation for the college." Kumeron said in a serious tone.

"Serana will most likely have a large amount of coin with her, after we are finished with using the Elder Scroll, it shall be returned along with the money as compensation." Arkinwrath said as he stood up getting ready to leave. "Now I have to be on my way." 

"But-" 

"I'll see you in a couple of days." Arkinwrath said as he left the lecture hall and went back into the main courtyard.

He found a small secluded spot near the window where the Elder Scroll was to leave and marked with some charcoal. Then sat on the window and turned around and fell from it exploding into a cloud of bats halfway down and headed to Castle Volkihar.

He landed at the coast of the castle island and walked in.

Arkinwrath ignored the greeting and went right to Harkon who was pacing in the castle temple.

"I hope you've been busy." Harkon said in a irritated tone.

"Always." Arkinwrath said as he entered the temple. "I know where the third elder scroll is and we can capture one of the dawnguard as well." 

"Why does it seem like you always change your plans and then tell me." Harkon questioned. 

Arkinwrath shrugged off the question.

"Just letting you know and I'm taking a few people with me for." Arkinwrath said as he left the temple grabbing a few vampires. 

He wanted Hestla, Ronthil, Stalf, Modhna, Garan and the two death hounds that roamed the castle grounds.
