Chapter 18 - Killing Vampire Master Movarth

Vincent returns to the house of Jarl Idgrod and finds the other preparing for what is to come and Vincent asks, "Everything alright here?"

"Yes, we were preparing our plan on how to attack the vampire nest. We came to the conclusion that it has to be in the next few minutes since they must be resting right now," says Durak.

"That would be the best way to finish them," says Vincent.

"What did you do to Alva?" asks Beleval.

"I never fought against a vampire before until today. So I went for the make sure it's dead by not only piercing her heart but decapitating her and burning her down," says Vincent.

"You did the triple dead. Isran would be proud of you for doing that," says Durak.

"Now back to the plan. Can you tell us how to fight a vampire?" asks Vincent.

"The best way would be from the distance with a crossbow or by surprise like we did with the woman from yesterday. A vampire can put you under your control if you are too near to them," says Durak.

"I can go near them. I'm immune to their spell or whatever they use. Alva tried it against me in her house and nothing happened to me," says Vincent.

"Then either you have a rather strong mentality or Stendarr himself is watching over you and I don't think a divine has enough time in hand to watch over you," says Durak

'If you knew that he gave me a blessing before arriving here what would you say,' thought Vincent while saying, "We should go in after everyone has a bow except for me."

"You really want to challenge your luck. But it's your funeral, not mine if you want to do that," says Durak.

They prepare for what is going to happen in the next minutes and Vincent gives Mina his Artemis Bow and his reinforce bow to Avulstein while the other two had their crossbow. Vincent puts Bravura on his back and his spear in his hand while in his Dragoon armor. The five march out towards Movarth's Lair on their way they find some bloodstains on the floor that lead them towards the lair.

"The blood is old. They must have taken some wanderers or traveling merchants to feast on them," says Durak.

"Let's just be careful. Seeing how long the blood is dry they could be hungry again," says Beleval.

"Let's just bring this over us. I still need to finish another business near Morthal," says Vincent.

"You mean the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller," says Durak.

"How did you know?" asks Vincent.

"Pretty simple. Every Dragonborn does this task and thanks to Jarl Idgrod, we know you are one. But you are too late to get the Horn. I have seen a woman in a leather armor traveling south with it. She was riding towards Whiterun or at least it looked like she did," says Durak.

"If that is true I won't be able to continue with the Greybeards," says Vincent a little disappointed.

"Maybe Jarl Idgrod can help. She knew you were a Dragonborn maybe she can see where the horn is," says Mina.

"Right, I forgot that old woman," says Vincent as they enter the cave.

They walk through the cave system and kill three of the human servants before they could scream for help. They continue sneaking through the cave arriving in a room where the vampires were feasting on a large table 6 vampires sitting across each other while one was sitting on one end.

"The one on the end has to be the vampire master," whispers Durak.

"Begin to aim and try to take four of the vampires out with the arrows and bolts. My spear should be able to pin the master on his chair. Try to give me cover while I'm trying to kill him as fast as possible. Once he is dead the other will lose moral that should help us against them," whispers Vincent as he prepares to throw his spear at the vampire master.

Once everyone was in position and ready to fire Vincent throws his spear with all of his strength piercing through the heart of the vampire master while Durak and Beleval hit their targets in the head. Mina hit the body of one vampire wounding it and Avulstein who never used a bow before overshoots his target.

Vincent rushed in with Bravura in hand and decapitates the vampire that Avulstein overshot while Durak and Beleval fire again hitting the last two vampires that were still standing. Vincent then decapitated all the vampires that were lying down until he arrives at the vampire master who was spitting up blood from his mouth.

"You won't kill me. I order you not to kill me," says the vampire master as he tries to take control over Vincent, who only swings his Bravura and decapitates the master.

"You think you can control me. You thought wrong," says Vincent as he cleans Bravura before putting it back on his back and takes Gae Bolg out of the master and does the same as the others approach him.

"We have done well. Maybe you should come and join the Dawnguard once you can. Our headquarter is behind Riften near Stendarr's Beacon. You need to enter a tunnel after passing it you should be able to see Fort Dawnguard. You should be able to meet us there if we aren't traveling on the road. We will leave the rest to you then. Beleval we will return now," says Durak.

"Yes, sir," says Beleval and they leave after burning the vampire corpses down.

The group returned to Morthal while the other two walked towards Dawnstar. Arriving at the village they see the villagers in an uproar demanding to know what was going on. They pass the villagers and enter the house of Jarl Idgrod. Once inside they stand in front of her and Vincent says, "The vampire master is dead as well as his vampires. The Dawnguards already continued their travel from the lair towards Dawnstar."

"I know a little girl told me about it before she left to rest in peace now. I also heard you are looking for the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller. It is in Riverwood in the tavern or inn. Don't know for sure but it should be there. A woman named Delphine has it that's all I got from the divines. The rest is up to you but you should rest before you continue your travel. Also, from now on you are Thane of Hjaalmarch. The same goes for your friend Avulstein. You need to start somewhere if you want to court my daughter," says Jarl Idgrod making both her daughter as well as Avulstein get red.

They then leave towards the inn and the uproar was dissolved after the people found out that the vampire master was killed. The trio enters the Inn and Vincent says, "So now you can officially woe the woman you like instead of secretly meeting."

"It seems to be so. Now we don't need to hide it at least," says Avulstein.

"You are lucky to have us," says Mina.

"That I'm. Vincent, I won't be able to travel with you since I want to stay here for a while if that is ok," says Avulstein.

"It's alright. But you should send a letter home so they know I didn't send you to your death," says Vincent.

"It should be ready by tomorrow. Can you give it to my father?" asks Avulstein.

"Of course. Too bad I lose one of my best friends here. I hope to see you again one of those days," says Vincent.

"You will don't worry about that," says Avulstein as he leaves them to write the letter for his parents and whispers to Mina, "Now that I'm not around you should try your luck." Making Mina go completely red.

"What did he say?" asks Vincent curiously.

"Nothing," says Mina nervous.

"Really, now I really want to know. Do I have to use the same weapon against you that I use on Lucia when she is hiding something from me," says Vincent.

"Can you please stop. I'm going to bed see you tomorrow," says Mina redder than before.

The next day they start their journey back to Whiterun. On the first day, Mina tried to approach Vincent. Making food for both, while talking about things to find out more about his like. She even invited him into the tent. But Vincent thought it was the blessing that was talking for her trying to have sex.

On the second day, she tried another approach by being a bit more aggressive like hugging Vincent's arm and pressing it between her breast making Vincent go tense and he asks, "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to get your attention and it seems to be working," says Mina.

"And why do you want my attention?" asks Vincent nervous hoping she doesn't say sex.

"I have feelings for you since we left Whiterun. No one in my long life has made my heart jump like you. Can you accept my feeling and make me yours," says Mina while being a little red that she finally said it out loud.

"So you really love me?" asks Vincent and Mina nods. "Really?" asks Vincent again and Mina nods again. "And why is that so?" asks Vincent.

"Because you appreciate the time you have with your daughter. My father was like that too before he got killed by the Thalmor in Valenwood protecting me and my mother. You remind me of him after finding out many think about you," says Mina who got her face near Vincent's and was almost about to kiss him when Vincent does at himself and gives her the kiss she wanted to give him.

"Once we are back in Whiterun we will talk more explicit about this alright. For now,

let's talk about other things," says Vincent, who was a little red and kisses her again before concentrating on riding Behemoth towards Whiterun.

They rest beside the streets but this time they share the tent and Mina says while going a bit red, "If you want we could do it right here, right now."

"I want our first time to be in a bed and not on the ground," says Vincent.

"I don't care. But one question will you have more women than me?" asks Mina.

"Maybe, why are you asking?" asks Vincent back.

"It's because if that is the case I will be the first wife. I won't settle with less. I was the first to confess my feelings and I have royal blood even if it's old it still has value in many countries like Valenwood and Elsweyr that isn't my home nation," says Mina as she opens hugs Vincent and begins to kiss him.

"So you are open to me having more women," says Vincent as he hugs her back

"As long as they aren't more than 10. You could have one of each race if you want," says Mina

They continue to warm each other for the rest of the night. The next day they continue to travel and it was quite faster than going to Morthal since they arrived at Midday at Whiterun's stables. They leave Behemoth there rest as they enter the city.

"Yes, home sweet home. Morthal is more like Riverwood than like a city like Whiterun," says Vincent as he sees Adrianne and they begin to talk.

"So you two together now. It was finally time I would say," says Adrianne as she sees Mina holding Vincent's arm and continues saying, "You know that you will have to share him with Aela once in a while right. She will go crazy if you don't do that."

"I know. I already told him that I don't have anything against him having more women as long as I'm his first wife. As the head of the hierarchy of his women, I can deal with the bad apples while keeping the good ones," says Mina happy.

"I will see you later Adrianne," says Vincent as both he and Mina enter his home.

"We will need a bigger house if you want to have more women," says Mina to Vincent.
