Chereads / The Dragonking of Nirn / Chapter 67 - Naosane Highwind

Chapter 67 - Naosane Highwind

Vincent was sitting on a chair surrounded by his Generals that were in Corinthe as well as the two hostages as they were eating dinner when Vyrve says, "I miss my wife's food."

"You are married? Why haven't I met her yet," says Wuldimar as he has met her but wasn't presented as Vyrve's wife.

"You met her before. You remember Susanna right that's his wife," says Vincent as they continue to small talk until they hear steel hit the table and looked at the hostages.

"Why are we here with you, you all so righteous majesty," says Saaranji as she mocked Vincent about them being there.

Suddenly all the generals begin to laugh while the two Khajiits were suddenly nervous seeing them laugh and Saaranji asks, "What's so funny?"

"You don't know why he took you both right. He will need a general to lead his Legion here in Elsweyr as well as a wife," says Vyrve as he knew how Vincent mostly operates.

"You don't me-," says Saaranji as she gets interrupted.

"That's right. He wants you as his wife and your brother as his general. His wife wants him to marry a woman of every race with you being of so high standing makes you the best candidate since all his wives are of high standing. That will make his children rightful heir of the said Province the mother comes from," says Vyrve explaining everything that Mina told him about her plan.

"So you plan on making my father King so you can put one of your sons later on as King," says Hassmhirr as he was eating slowly but attentive the whole time.

"That seems to be the plan of my first wife. But why I took your sister here was because she looked like a friend of mine. Just that my friend didn't have fur on her arms and legs. But everything is the same. That's what made me curious maybe she came here too and since I haven't seen your mother I became even more curious," says Vincent as both Khajiits opened their eyes wide before they became small again.

"Our mother was an Ohmes or at least that's what we think she was. She disappeared all of a sudden one day after giving birth to Saaranji. We don't know where she has gone but my father always says that Saaranji looks like our mother," says Hassmhirr as he stopped eating.

"Was her name Y'shtola?" asks Vincent as both shake their head.

"No, her name was Matoya," says Hassmhirr as he thought he found a clue to find their mother.

"I will need to do some research before telling you something maybe it is Y'shtola or maybe not. I will have to talk with someone before I know if it's her," says Vincent as he finishes eating before saying, "I will tell you if I know more about it."

They all retreated as Vincent was looking over reports that were sent to by Mina and Karliah about everything around Tamriel as he was thinking once he sits on the throne every day would be like this until his son took over and says, "I really hope it won't be like that or I might run away once every month for a week to have some adventures."

"Well, you wouldn't be the only one to do that. I remember another emperor that hated to sit still on his throne," says a voice behind him as Vincent knew it was Akatosh.

"Why are you here?" asks Vincent as he was exhausted.

"Just to tell you that your son was delivered today. A healthy boy. He has your hair and eyes even if he is an Altmer," says Akatosh as Vincent only sighs when Akatosh says, "How about you go for a fast visit to give him a name and return again to your duty."

"You know it would take me too much time," says Vincent as Akatosh shakes his head in denial.

"You know that I'm the God of Space and Time right. I could stop time and bring you there for a moment so you can give him a name and hold him for a moment before returning here again," says Akatosh as Vincent suddenly felt excited and nods in agreement.

Akatosh opens a portal as Vincent passes through it he finds that time was frozen around him until he touched Mina who was holding the boy in her hands.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Elsweyr right now?" asks Mina as she looked around and found out that everything was frozen in time.

"My father told me to come here and see the little one to give him a name but I don't know an Altmer name. So his mother might have to suggest one and I will decide," says Vincent as he took the boy from his mother and carries him for a while.

"What's the name of your father?" asks Mina curiously.

"Naosane Highwind," says Vincent as Mina nods.

"Then we have a name for our little Naosane here. He doesn't need an Altmer name but a name given to him by his father. Now do you like that name," says Mina as she takes Naosane back from Vincent and Naosane looked happy about the name he received making Mina say, "He seems to like it. Do you need to return to the front."

"The war is over just some business to take care of," says Vincent when he asks, "You knew about Anra right?"

"Yes, she told me about it. You aren't mad are you," says Mina as Vincent shakes his head.

"But I have another candidate for you. Her name is Saaranji. She will be the princess of Elsweyr after forcing her father to take the throne I'm offering him," says Vincent making Mina curious about it.

"You found a Khajiit that's good. Now we need a Breton, Redguard, Imperial and Argonian," says Mina as Vincent coughs.

"She is a Khajiit but better known as Ohmes-rath. Also I found an Imperial as well. She is the daughter of Titus Mede," says Vincent as Mina looked excited now because Vincent had found two women instead of one.

"Then you know what to do bring them home even though we will probably move in the next few weeks towards the Imperial City, am I right," says Mina as Vincent nods.

"Yes, Balgruuf will be the Regent of Skyrim until my son with Elisif is old enough to reign over Skyrim," says Vincent as he had everything planned out.

"So little Nao won't be able to see his father until you conquered Tamriel," says Mina sad as Vincent nods.

"Maybe a sneak peek from him when I get Ysayle to stop the Red Mountain with her and the Dragons help," says Vincent as he stretches his hand towards his son who grabs his finger.

"It's time to return," says Akatosh as Vincent kisses Mina and the forehead of his son.

Then he walks towards the portal while saying, "I will return as fast as possible."

"We will be waiting," says Mina as Vincent entered the portal and it closed behind him.

Vincent was back in Corinthe as he went to sleep he was surrounded by his friends. He was training with Bultechu when he asks, "Does Y'shtola also go by another name?"

"Why do you ask?" asks Thancred as he was watching him train with an almost too old Bultechu.

"I meet a person that looked almost exactly like her just that she had fur on her arms and legs. Since we know that she was lost in the Lifestream once before you all brought her back I am suspicious that she was here once. If Ysayle could pass over why not parts of you too," says Vincent as it was an eye-opener to them.

"Well she goes as Master Matoya or Matoya if she doesn't want to reveal her real name," says Bultechu as now Vincent opened his eyes making the other realize that Vincent was right.

"I should go and call Y'shtola over tomorrow. Maybe you can learn to become a Black Mage from here at the same time," says Alphinaud as he leaves while Bultechu and the others nod.

"If your theory is true then there is a leak in the Lifestream or a rift opened and sucked her in for a moment before she returned to Eorzea. This could be dangerous," says Ardbert as he was listening to everything.

"I will need to investigate it too. Maybe Minfilia is on your side now since she passed away. If that is true can you take care of her until I'm there. I will find a way to cross over," says Thancred as if Vincent's theory was true that a rift exists between both worlds maybe strong people pass through the rift and enter Nirn.

"I will keep my eyes open if I meet her you are the first to know about it," says Vincent as he was training to be a monk at the moment.

The next night Y'shtola was joining them and Vincent told her about it when she was crying all of a sudden as she says, "I thought it was all an illusion made by the Lifestream. Once I was back in Eorzea I thought it couldn't be possible that's why I tried to forget everything about that."

"Well they are fine your ex-husband is about to become a King and your son a General in my army," says Vincent while not mentioning Saaranji for now.

"What about my daughter?" asks Y'shtola as she was worried about her being seen as an outsider by the Khajiit when the others begin to laugh since they knew what Saaranji would become.

"What is so funny?" asks Y'shtola as everyone pointed at Vincent.

"You are going to be his mother-in-law," says Bultechu not being able to hold his laugh back any longer when a Meteor rained down unto all of them making everyone stop as the worked together to stop it from doing damage.

"Vincent how can you marry a little girl she isn't even five," says Y'shtola as when she left Saaranji was three years old.

"She is quite a woman older than twenty. Maybe the time between both worlds is different. That's why you think she is young. Your son even has his own youngs right now," says Vincent as Y'shtola was disappointed to have missed so much of her children's past.

"Do you know a way to get there?" asks Y'shtola as she wanted to meet them when Vincent shakes his head.

"I don't know but maybe a friend of mine," says Vincent as he was thinking about Hermaeus Mora (Durnehviir) who had all the wisdom of the world he should know a way to get back or bring them over.
