Chapter 59 - Going Over Reports

The month pass as they celebrated the wedding of Jon and Olfina while Avulstein didn't come because Idgrod Ravencrone was teaching him and Idgrod the Young about what it means to be the Jarl since Idgrod the Young would sooner or later take over the post when Idgrod Ravencrone dies either of old age or out of worry for her youngest one.

Thorald was there in his Blade armor instead of the Legion armor since he joined the Network as trainer and smith living in the Sky Haven with the other.

After the wedding two weeks later it was Vincent's wedding with Kirvena, Serana, and Ysayle. Serana still was indecisive about it since she was immortal knowing that one day she would be left alone to feel the pain of being left behind until Mina told her that Vincent was immortal.

After everything was done and they were finally married they all were wearing nice rings Eorlund made while Vincent added a new jewel into his having now 5 stones embedded in the ring.

A week later Vincent was back on his desk clearing it while he took an old book out of the bag and began reading it again the same page like back then when he and Mina found it the first time as inside stood still the same and Vincent says, "Something must be wrong with this book."

"There is nothing wrong with the book," says a voice coming from behind him.

He doesn't even turn around as he says, "Then why doesn't it mention Kirvena, Ysayle or Elisif. There must be something wrong with it."

"The book can't count all your wives and their lives if it turns around your life narrating only the important things," says the voice as Vincent sighs.

"It would rather help with more information. Like who the horns people are that will land on High Rock in 250 years from now when my son is taking over and the corrupted army that forces me to come down from my mountain," says Vincent as he looks at Akatosh who was surprised by the mention of the horns people.

"That is something that shouldn't border you since it is in the future. But my question is more like when will you introduce your new weapon to your army?" says Akatosh as he was avoiding the horns people question as well as the corrupted army one.

"I will answer after you told me," says Vincent as Akatosh smiles.

"You aren't Julianos or you might have taken my answers without paying me back now then. The horns people come from the Northwest while the corrupted army comes from the west. The horn people are known as Qunari they follow Jyggalag a Daedric Prince while the corrupted army belongs to Peryite another Daedric Prince," says Akatosh as he now looks at Vincent for his answer.

"You haven't told me everything have you," says Vincent as he felt frustrated since he could have found it out himself what his father told him right now.

"I can only tell you that it was a failed experiment of ours and some Daedric Princes took their chance to strengthen themselves by using those lands," says Akatosh with a smile.

"Fine I will find out sooner or later," says Vincent as he then closes the book and takes his rifle out and puts it on the desk and says, "This is the Fomalhaut. I and Eorlund worked on it together. Even if I don't have many bullets for it, for now at least."

Akatosh was looking at the rifle as Vincent says, "I might introduce it later on when we can get ammunition for more than one. But it will most likely be used by the Royal Guards so my Network."

"Well at least it can't be used to silently assassinate someone," says Akatosh as he looks at the rifle. He takes it in his hand and plays a bit with it when he puts it back he sees some schematic for a flying ship and asks, "Is that a flying ship?"

"It will be after we construct it. But it will be ready most likely after the war finished," says Vincent as he took the Fomalhaut from Akatosh and put it away.

"Didn't you say it would be impossible to get them," says Akatosh as Vincent didn't look so good.

"My friends paid a heavy price to get this information for me," says Vincent as he remembers how old Bultechu looked the last time he saw him in the Mindscape.

"Well don't let Hermaeus Mora find out. He really likes to collect knowledge even if it's only the best way to satisfy your woman. I have seen it and don't want the same thing to happen to you," says Akatosh as he takes a chair and sits down while asking, "Are you confident in winning the war?"

"It's going well with recruiting and the neighbor provinces Thieves Guilds and Dark Brotherhood members, as well as the Vampires that believe that they can live peacefully beside mortal, have joined it," says Vincent as Akatosh looked at him worried.

"Don't worry we sort the bad apples out right away by killing them leaving no leeway for them to leave. I'm also collecting those right now," says Vincent he takes a case with 5 pink stones in it.

"Talos could tell you a tale about those crystals and it's former form," says Akatosh as he sees the crystal and continues, "The Dunmer in your Network would most likely like to have it since the stone belongs to her family. Maybe you should find the fitting crown to it too."

"Why would Karliah want it?" asks Vincent curiously.

"She is a descendent of Barenziah and those crystals were embedded in a crown that she got as a gift from Tiber Septim," says Akatosh as Vincent now knows what he meant.

"It will be an adventure to get the crown," says Vincent as Akatosh looks at the map that was behind Vincent hanging on the wall and stands walking towards it and point at a place northeast of Riften.

"It's around here. Inside a cave surrounded by the Fallen Ones. It would be suicide for a normal adventurer but for you, it should be a child play," says Akatosh as Vincent recorded it in his personal diary where he appoints everything important.

"Another thing that goes to my to-do list," says Vincent as he closes the book.

"Why are you carrying a book?" asks Akatosh as Vincent gives him a glare.

"I have 5 wives and 4 children with 2 more coming. It's quite hard to remember everything that's why I appoint it in my little book here," says Vincent as he puts it away and begins to read the reports again.

He reads and stops at one and Akatosh asks, "Something serious?"

"Not really but politic never changes it seems," says Vincent as he hands over the report to Akatosh and continues, "It seems Saadia or better said Iman is pretty much innocent while the Alik'r Warriors are only tools used by the person that really did everything. Iman is now safe while the Alik'r Order now melted with my Network."

"That easy," says Akatosh as he stops reading the report.

"Not really. We gave them an ultimatum of joining or dying after the war was over. So they had no choice but to join us," says Vincent as he turned cold.

"What are you going to do with the traitor?" asks Akatosh as he hears how cold Vincent now was.

"Kill them before they can do more damage," says Vincent as he looked right now like a Tyrant and he continues, "I would rather kill my opposition before they kill me and everything I love and if I have to turn into a Tyrant to do that instilling fear in everyone so they won't raise their hand against my line than so be it."

"Well said," says Akatosh as he was a little worried about what Vincent would become and continues, "Sometimes it needs an Iron Fist to lead a country you will rule a continent maybe two and you can't be everywhere so making people remember that you can be everywhere by showing examples can help so it doesn't repeat."

"That's what I'm going for after all but first I need to deal with this," says Vincent as he hands over another report to Akatosh while asking, "Who is this Miraak and why is a cult after my head?"

"Miraak, the first Dragonborn that roamed Tamriel. He is made a deal with Hermaeus Mora and is now living in Apocrypha. It's the realm of Hermaeus Mora. It's like a giant library with all the knowledge he already collected. Many go crazy from reading and taking to much knowledge into themselves," says Akatosh as he was shocked after reading the report and continues, "He is baiting you to get to him so he can take your body and be free again. Solstheim was his former base of operation after upsetting Alduin but he was killed by the Dragons and Vahlok was made his Jailor."

"He seems quite alive to me if he has a cult wanting me dead," says Vincent as he looks at his father.

"He only has a spiritual body and needs a physical one that is strong enough to hold his soul. That body is yours," says Akatosh as he puts the report back before continuing, "You should be able to win against him even when you are alone. The aura that you radiate makes every Dragon fear you even a Dragonborn like Miraak will think twice about fighting you."

"Now I need to fight against one of my brothers again," says Vincent as he sighs.

"We do what we must. Now then I think we should part for today. See you next month then," says Akatosh as he leaves.

"Solstheim. That's Morrowind territory if my mind doesn't play me a trick," says Vincent as he took a map of Tamriel out of his shelves and continues, "Yes, it seems I will have to go incognito with Vyrve and Karliah to finish Miraak."

He then writes a letter to Karliah and puts it beside the other letters that have his orders for the other people as the Dawnguard was dismantled and made into the Second Division of the Network they fused with the Vigilantes of Stendarr and the Alik'r Warriors as they were more like the muscles in his Network now.

"The letters should be taken to the Keep tomorrow to sent them away," says Vincent as he was done for the night and retreated to his room as in his bed his wives were already sleeping.

He tries to get to the middle of the bed without waking them up as he then sleeps too only to awaken in his Mindscape were Bultechu was waiting for him alone.

Bultechu didn't look like the Au-Ra he used to be he was older and had more knowledge as his hair was grey instead of black and some wrinkles could be seen on his face and body when he says, "It seems you are giving yourself the fault for why I look like this. You know that everyone gets old. I just decided to leave and return once I find out the secret in how to build a ship. I learned much more by becoming a Machinist and teaching you it."

"Still you shouldn't have done that sooner or later we would have found a way to do that," says Vincent feeling guilty about seeing Bultechu being that old.

"You know that everyone has to die. I lived my life to the fullest and you should do the same even as a King sometimes you will need a break and do something fun like go on an adventure," says Bultechu sounding quite convincing as he lived his life and continues, "You know the Garlean Empire was a little right even if I don't approve of their methods. If they were more passive and convinced us instead of going to war against us we could have convived peacefully."

"Yes, you are still the same," says Vincent as he sighs and Bultechu laughs at him.

"Time to train. Now move those legs. Standing still means certain death for a Machinist," says Bultechu as he oversees Vincent training.
