Vincent and Vyrve then jumped onto Behemoth who was happy to finally be able to be used again as they begin to fly after Behemoth adjusted to the weight he was carrying since Vyrve wasn't a lightweight like Mina or Avulstein he was carrying before.
They were overflying some peculiar statue to reach Winterhold and rest there when Vincent asks, "Who is the person represented?"
"That must be Azura she is a Daedric Prince and the Dunmer worship her. They have a pilgrimage as we Falmer do for Auri-El. This is her shrine in Skyrim. It might seem desolated but don't let the eyes trick you every Dunmer prays to her since she is one of the Good Daedric Princes," says Vyrve as the overflow Azura's shrine and the arrived at Winterhold.
Seeing Winterhold for the first time Vincent thought that he needed to do something here since it seemed more like a ghost town than a city representing a hold.
'Skyrim will only do good if the weakest link in it is strong. And Winterhold seems to be the weakest of them all even Morthal is better and it had a Vampire Lair nearby,' thinks Vincent as he was holding his head thinking that once the war is over he needs to send a battalion here to rebuild the city and sponsor it by giving it to the mages making the Arch-Mage the Jarl. It would bring mages all over Tamriel to study at the College that way and money would enter the pockets of the locals by doing so.
"It seems that's the only way," says Vincent as Behemoth walks towards the inn and they jump down from Behemoth as Vincent goes in and sees the whole village or at least that's what Vincent thought as he looked around and it was a quarter full. Both go to the innkeeper and Vincent says, "Two rooms please."
He puts a pouch of Septims on the counter and the innkeeper gives him to keys while saying, "It's rare to have visitors. Are you mages?"
"No, we are looking for a woman that can turn water into ice by just touching it," says Vincent as everyone in the inn stood up in shook.
"You are here for the Ice Witch. She lives to the Northeast of here on a small island," says one of the town people.
"Are you here to free us of that damn mer. She must be a spy of the Thalmor otherwise she wouldn't have sunk so many ships lately," says another one.
Vyrve wanted to say something when Vincent says, "If we are lucky you won't meet here for a long time."
The people were now suddenly happy and began to drink as the mood returned to be good after hearing Vincent say that.
"But we aren't here to kill her, are we?" asks Vyrve quietly as Vincent hands him a key.
"I know but they don't need to know. You heard them they must be scared to sail out and fish because of her. We tell them that we are taking care of her so they begin to go out and fish again," says Vincent as he walks to his room and says, "If you want to eat something just ask the innkeeper. I gave him enough to stay for three days and we are only staying a night."
"Alright," says Vyrve as he walks over to the innkeeper to get some food to eat while Vincent retreated to his room to rest as he takes his armor off and thinks, 'I hope Ysayle recognizes me or it will become a problem if she attacks us when we arrive there.'
Then he lays on his bed and rests for the night. The next day he wakes up and eats some soup that the innkeeper made and Vincent asks, "How comes the town is in such a state?"
"The bloody mages made it. But they say that it was made by natural phenomena. It dragged half of the city into the abyss thanks goodness the night shift alarmed the city back then or we would have also become a mass grave too. Only the College withstood it," says the innkeeper as he was cleaning the inn from yesterday's mess.
"So the college didn't take damage?" asks Vincent as the innkeeper snorts.
"The thing is still standing in midair as if nothing ever happened," says the innkeeper making Vincent think.
'It must have something that lets them levitate or they would have fallen into the abyss as the innkeeper said,'thinks Vincent as he was finishing his meal before seeing Vyrve coming from his room with a local Nord.
"You had a nice night it seems," says Vincent as he looks at Vyrve who sat down beside him.
"Just had a nice night with the local woman. She runs the shop beside the inn. It seems her sister-in-law ran away some time ago after she met a thief. I told her that maybe I can find her if I'm lucky," says Vyrve as Vincent stares at him seriously.
"Do you know the name of the thief maybe he is in my Network or even the name of her sister-in-law?" asks Vincent as he was a little angry for Vyrve to carelessly say something like that and continues, "If we are done here I will give you two chooses. The first is to go on a journey to find that woman and the second is for you to marry the woman."
"Brother aren't you a bit harsh on me," says Vyrve as he felt offended by Vincent since he also has women left and right around him.
"I at least don't promise something to get someone into my bed. Also, I didn't say you can't have more women but I hate that you used me to get her in your bed," says Vincent as the innkeeper brings a plate with soup for Vyrve.
"I'm sorry then," says Vyrve as he misunderstood what Vincent meant at first before saying, "It will take time to find that woman. I will have to look for her after the Vampire Crisis is over."
"Good now eat up poor Behemoth had to sleep outside," says Vincent as he stands up and goes back into his room to put his armor on before going out to Behemoth and give him some vegetables when a guard comes over.
"Sir the Jarl wants to meet you to talk about your mount," says the guard as he stood in front of Vincent showing at least some respect even when he didn't know who Vincent was.
"What have you done last night that the Jarl wants to meet me," whispers Vincent to Behemoth while Behemoth only looks confused at him.
"Show me the way," says Vincent as he holds his head and follows the guard into a house like any other and finds a chair in the middle of the room with a man sitting on it.
The man recognizes Vincent right away and stands up and kneels in front of Vincent while saying, "My King."
That made everyone in the room kneel after hearing the man and Vincent says, "Jarl Korir, I have seen how everything is destroyed and I heard that you gave the fault the College. Is that true?"
"It must be them. There is no other way that they survived the Great Collapse and their College is still standing," says Korir as he stands up.
"I will send people to reconstruct the city once the war is over. It will be the capital of magic. You could have rebuild the city long ago but you didn't. You could have made many mages migrate to Winterhold to join the college. But you made the only thing that could make you win money take the blame for what happened years ago. I'm questioning if you are really capable to lead the hold with your shortsightedness," says Vincent as he was criticizing Korir.
"I as High King of Skyrim revoke you as the Jarl of Winterhold and make your son Assur the Jarl of Winterhold," says Vincent in a commanding tone making everyone feel that if someone was against it they would lose their head when Vincent continues, "With Assur still too young to decide what is the best for his hold the steward will take full command until Assur is old enough to rule."
"Yes, my king," says everyone as they were terrified of Vincent. Korir was relieved that at least his son became the new Jarl and not someone else.
"I will be leaving to hunt the Ice Witch that the people fear," says Vincent as he leaves the house and everyone inside began to sight in relief that Vincent didn't kill anyone.
They were really scared since they mostly heard rumors of Vincent killing the people he thinks of incompetent with Vincent not killing them they thought he was showing mercy because of the boy since they know that Vincent has taken orphans into his house.
Vincent then returns to Behemoth and Vyrve was already waiting there and asks, "Where were you?"
"I had a talk with the Jarl," says Vincent as he mounts Behemoth and Vyrve does the same and the travel for a little distance towards the northeast from Winterhold overflying some islands made of Ice and Snow arriving at one that had people frozen in ice as Behemoth lands on the island.
"Something is wrong here. It's like some strange magic froze those people," says Vyrve as he felt danger coming from the magic in the air.
"That's because it's Mana and not Magicka that was used to freeze them. They have the same concept but work differently. I who uses both can tell you the difference between both quite easy," says Vincent as he was about to explain the difference they get attacked by Blizzard.
Vincent pushes Vyrve to the side as he gets hit by it. When a woman with long grey hair in a blue jacket and a skirt as she says, "Leave while I'm showing mercy."
"Still the same it seems Iceheart," says Vincent as another Blizzard came after him.
"How do you know that name," says Ysayle as she takes a closer look at her opponent. One looked like an Elezen she saved before while she was surprised to see that armor in those land and asks, "Who are you?"
"Really you have forgotten me. It hasn't even been a year since we parted with each other. We were morning your death after seeing you turn into blue aether," says Vincent as he takes his helmet off and Ysayle could see his face.
"Vincent Highwind, did you die too?" asks Ysayle as she recognizes Vincent.
"Yes, I died because of Nidhogg after killing him and saving Estinien. But I'm not really dead since Hydaelyn gave me another chance to live by making me a Warrior of Light and sending me here to fulfill her promise she gave to one of the gods of this world. That means that you are also not dead but alive," says Vincent as he tries to walk closer to Ysayle as suddenly clouds began to form over their heads and snow began to fall. The wind began to increase and they were now in the middle of a snowstorm.
Vincent couldn't approach Ysayle as she asks, "Who are you really? The Vincent I know wouldn't try to approach me without a weapon. He was always ready to take my life at any moment I showed some signs of betrayal."
"Well, that was then and this is now. How comes you are here? You shouldn't be here, to begin with," says Vincent as he found it impossible to progress towards Ysayle.
"I don't know. I only know that I saw a giant golden Dragon and a portal that sucked me in. The next thing I know was that I was in this world," says Ysayle as it sounded how Vincent came to this world.
"So you came here by accident. I will have to asks the old man how that is even possible," says Vincent as Ysayle was confused by what Vincent said.
