Chereads / The Dragonking of Nirn / Chapter 39 - General Mithron

Chapter 39 - General Mithron

They arrive at Castle Volkihar followed by Dragons from Haafingar and Vincent jumps down and says, {Stay around. I will be back fast.}

Then he helps Serana down and Vincent asks, "Well it's quite a big place I would say."

"I didn't want you all to think I'm that kind of woman just because my family lives here," says Serana as Vincent accompanies her to the gates while the Dragons were on lookout waiting for their Lord like the Royal Guards.

They arrive at the gates when the Gatekeeper recognizes Serana and opens the gates while Vincent says, "This is as far as I can accompany you."

He takes out the Elder Scroll and hands it over to Serana while saying, "You had this when we found you. I was just safekeeping it for you. Since we are parting here it wouldn't be good to keep it."

"Thanks, I thought someone stole it from me while I was in the Crypt," says Serana as she takes the Elder Scroll at first but hands it back and says, "Can you keep it safe for me. I trust you more than my family and you are trustworthy enough since you even hand it back to me when you didn't have to."

"Well then," says Vincent as he puts the Scroll back in his bag. Then he says, "I hope you fare well from here. If you encounter trouble you know where to go. Farewell then, Serana."

Vincent then leaves and hears Serana say farewell too. He arrives at Odahviing and mounts him as one Dragon says, {I feel an evil presence here, my lord.}

{I know. Can you look out for the woman we brought here if she is in trouble,} says Vincent having cold eyes.

{We will do as ordered. If we find here in trouble we will help her,} says the leading Dragon of Haafingar.

{I thank you all for doing so. Just bring her to New Haven,} says Vincent as he turns to Odahviing and says, {Time to go to our next destination.}

{Yes, my lord,} says Odahviing as he takes off and they begin their travel towards Summerset.

They arrive after flying three days straight with Vincent intimidating Dragons that wanted to fight against Odahviing showing some Dragons that it would be better to follow him in the future instead of fighting him.

{So here we are. I hope that Dragon that we questioned told us the truth and we can find some Gryphons around here. I already picked those little lion pups up. Now I only need the Gryphons and everything we should have everything for the children, }says Vincent as he was holding two Black Senche-Lion pups and two Black Senche-Panther pups.

He picked both up while overflying Elsweyr. Vincent gives them some milk to drink as he lets them go to play around Odahviing as he says, {I will catch the Gryphons as fast as possible.}

{And I'm left behind to play nanny. Really nothing changed just that this time it's for animals instead of his children,} says Odahviing as Vincent didn't even hear him since he left already.

'Once the Lions and Panthers have offsprings, I could improve my Network. The same goes for the Gryphons I'm about to catch. They could be used as a new united I'm might try to create since Dragon Knights would be impossible with the pride of the Dragons here in Tamriel,' thinks Vincent as he finds some grown Gryphons on the grassland in front of him.

"Now I only need to find some younglings or eggs," whispers Vincent to himself. As he walks around until finding a nest with younglings in it.

'This would be better than to get eggs since the risk of being both male or female is quite higher than both being of separate gender,' thinks Vincent as he makes it fast and tries to grab two of them only to stop when he felt he is being watched.

'It seems someone else is here too. I better go for eggs then since it would be quite hard to explain what I'm doing here,' thinks Vincent as he leaves the place and searches for a nest with eggs.

He finds a nest with two eggs only and he felt pity for the poor parents and left it to look for another one. Then he finds a nest with five eggs instead.

'Alright, let's make it fast so Odahviing can get some rest once we reach Bruma,' thinks Vincent as he waits until the parents leave and he grabs one of them and tries to put it into his bag and it worked quite fine like always before searching for another nest finding quite a big egg surrounded by smaller ones.

"That must be a special one. If I get this one for Luci she will be quite happy," whispers Vincent to himself as he rushes towards that nest and grabs the egg and puts it away. He then begins to walk through the grassland and gets surrounded by some Altmers.

"We can't let you leave with those eggs," says the Altmer leader or she seemed to be it.

"Are you Thalmor? If yes today is your last day of living if no get out of my way," says Vincent warning the Altmers.

"We aren't Thalmor but a little resistance that hides from them. Since our Lady fleed this land we are waiting for her return in the shadows preparing for when she comes to free us of the Thalmor," says the Altmer seriously as he turns to Vincent and says, "We can't have you steal the offspring of our mounts. They are for the next generation of Gryphon Knights."

"A question is the Lady you are waiting for Mina Arana Aldmeri?" asks Vincent as he was surprised to meet someone that was still fighting the Thalmor in Summerset.

The Rebels became nervous as the swords were almost touching Vincent's armor and the leader asks, "How do you know her?"

"Well, how about putting your sword down and we talk while we walk towards my mount," says Vincent relaxed.

"Why should we trust you?" asks the leader seriously.

"Your Lady does. I even came here to get the Gryphons. But I told her to stay in Skyrim for her own good," says Vincent as the Altmers were now confused.

"What do you mean you know our Lady," says the Leader confused.

"Know her. I married her without knowing her origin. She was a prisoner of the Thalmors when I saved her. Mina cut her own tongue out so she couldn't be used as a tool by the Thalmor. Her father and mother didn't have a good ending at least that's what she told me," says Vincent as the Altmers were now looking at each other.

"Follow us our camp is nearby. You should meet General Mithron," says the leader as they guide Vincent to their camp.

They arrived at a camp that was well hidden in the forest and the leader of the group with Vincent enter the tent. Once inside the Altmer says, "General Mithron, we found someone that has information on your daughter."

"My daughter? Are you sure? I thought she would be hiding with her mother somewhere in the North," says the Altmer that was looking at some papers.

"It seems she is now married," says the Altmer as the General turns around and sees Vincent and the Altmer.

"Who spread this rumor?" asks General Mithron angry.

"That is no rumor. Since her husband stands in front of you," says Vincent as he sees General Mithron, Mina's father, for the first time. He had some resembles with her.

"You dare to spread lies," says General Mithron as he takes his sword angry and points it at Vincent.

Vincent takes his Wedding Ring off and throws it at the angry General while saying, "Look for yourself if I'm married to her or not."

The General catches the ring with his free hand and looks at the ring and reads the engraving on the inside with his daughter's and Vincent's names. Then he throws it back and says sad, "How could she marry a Dremora."

"I'm not a Dremora, but an Au-Ra. And your daughter loves me because of who I am. She lived alone in the woods until she was found by the Thalmors and was rescued by me and a friend of ours....," says Vincent explaining everything about him and Mina.

"So her mother died passing the border between Cyrodiil and Skyrim. Poor Cana she was like a star in the sky guiding me," says Mithron hearing that his wife died protecting their daughter.

"Well, I need to go. I still have places to be and things to do so," says Vincent as he tries to leave.

"Wait," says Mithron as he disappears and returns after few minutes with a letter and two daggers that looked like an heirloom. Mithron then says, "Can you give this note and those daggers to my daughter. She always liked to use daggers since she was small."

"I can do that. But I can't promise you a fast reply since if I came to retrieve some Gryphons for our daughter," says Vincent as Mithron begins to tear up all of a sudden.

"My daughter is already a mother," says Mithron and continues with, "I'm a grandfather. Do you hear that Cana we are grandparents. Too bad she is already dead she would have liked to hold them."

"You misunderstood me there. She might be a mother but it's for our adopted child. She and I are only married for almost two months. So it would be impossible to have children. Didn't you read the date since when we are married?" says Vincent as he takes the letter and the daggers and runs for his life after saying it fearing some retaliation from his father-in-law.

"Stop the thief," says Mithron wanting to pin Vincent down only to find out the Vincent just jumped and landed on a tree and makes his way through there.

"Should we follow sir?" asks a lieutenant beside Mithron.

"Don't bother. We would just show ourselves to the enemy," says Mithron as he thought, 'I will get him back once this war is over.'

Vincent arrived at Odahviing's side and picks the four puppies up and jumps onto Odahviing and says, {We need to leave fast.}

{Did something happen?} asks Odahviing worried now.

{Fast now,} says Vincent as Odahviing takes off and they begin to fly towards Cyrodiil.

They were overflying the sea when Odahviing asks, {What were we running away from?}

{My father-in-law. I didn't know he was still alive. He gave me a letter and some daggers for Mina,} says Vincent making Odahviing look at him questioning if it was really that scary that he needed to run away.

{Really? Our Dragonking had to run away from his father-in-law,} says Odahviing.

{Its because you dragon don't have parents-in-law. If you had you would understand me,} says Vincent as he was hiding the pups from the wind by changing into his Bard clothes putting them inside his clothes so they feel his heat.
