Chereads / Skyrim: The Snow Prince (an Elder Scrolls Fanfic) / Chapter 6 - Chapter 4: Meeting of Fate & Destiny

Chapter 6 - Chapter 4: Meeting of Fate & Destiny

"SOMEONE GRAB HIM! STOP! THIEF!" A fat middle aged man yelled at the top of his lungs while chasing a certain young child who wore very ck ceiling yet dirty apparel.

"STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! YOU VIOLATED THE LAW!" One of the many Imperial Guards commanded as they too chased after Saif child.

"Catch me if you can F*ckers! If you run out of stamina that quickly, how on Nirn would you be able to please any woman in bed?!" Said child in question was of course Sivreth.

He had only just discovered what his name in this life was because a beautiful adult Snow Elven woman had spoken to him in his dreams, repeating the same words over and over along with his name.

There was no last name given, just having a first name is enough but it's odd there isn't a family name.

But considering his earlier theory he now could determine that his birth father may be a non Snow Elf, while his mother was possibly the one in his dreams.

I jumped across rooftop to rooftop and from ledge to ledge.

I was a decent at parkour in my past life, though I was more of a shut-in so not much experience, it was just I could comprehend and learn practical things quite quickly, though not on the level of a genius.

Call it muscle memory or instinctive intuition.

Warrior today I had collected the materials need to craft my Hidden Blades and Phantom Blade Crossbow, after that I stole a ton of various materials I would need, be they linon cloth, silk, wool, thread, iron hinges, screws and bolts, a chisel and hammer, or various Alchemical ingredients and Soul Gems.

I stole as much as I could.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go to the Magic facilities and institutions since the research I did beforehand proved what I had suspected.

They had all sorts of magical barriers and defenses all over the complex, if even a rat tried getting inside it would be erased from the face of Nirn and Mundus.

That shit almost caused my soul to leave my body at how terrified I was of even going near that place.

So I decided to steal and pillage from as many low security shops and places as I could.

Due to how much I stole, I had to go at night to burry my treasure in extremely secure and well hidden places.

Only Azura or Hermaeous Mora would know where these secret loot chests are located.

I continued to scale and bob & weave up and down buildings, past pedestrians, around corners and over gates and walls.

It felt just like Assassin's Creed parkour, since I had to practice and plan out my routes of escape, I was still an amateur at Parkour unlike the free running legends of the AC series, but I was still good enough if I took my time.

Only the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood members can actually catch me.

But I did see an Female Imperial commander chasing after me as well.

Out of all my pursuers she was tge only one to be able to keep up with me, though due to her armour weighing her down and since she is a warrior class, I doubt she'd be able to scale the buildings like me.

But damn am I impressed!

I had been running for 7 hours straight and she is still after me!

Like what the Hell is with this woman!

I can't have revealed my identity of being a Falmer, so I suspect some other reason.

Possibly the Moth Priests told the higher ups about a child in rags like me would be involved in a Prophecy in the future.

There are three Prophecy's that will occur when Alduin returns.

"Tyranny of the Sun" is the Vampire Prophecy that Arch-Curate Vyrthur created and wants to fulfil. He already had Auriel's Bow in his possession, all he needs now is the blood of a Daughter of Coldharbour.

"Skyrim's Civil War" which is of the war between the Stormcloaks and Imperials over control of Skyrim.

"Dragon Crisis" foretelling of the return of the Dragons and the World-Eater, Alduin.

But can there be a fourth Prophecy of a child (me) who would rise to become the next "Snow Prince" of the Falmer.

If so then this helps me greatly as my future up to a certain point in time is solidified and I am guaranteed to not die by then.

But have to find out if this is true or not...

I'll have to interrogate someone when I am stronge enough to capture them or eavesdrop on a conversation between the higher ups.

But the latter is dangerous simce they may be able to sense me nearby, I'll need to carefully plan everything out.

It took me four more hours until I was able to escape the Imperial commander through use of a custom Illusion spell I made a few days ago.

It was incredibly difficult but I was able to learn enough about magicka and some notice Spells in order to grasp the basic concept of Mysticism.

Mysticism requires one to understand all other schools of magic to even be able to use it.

Mysticism is all the other schools combined since the Mysticism school of magical Spells varries in uses from all the other schools but are still classified as Mysticism Spells.

Mysticism is basically Magic Manipulation.

After getting a feel of how magicka was channeled through novice level Spells, I was able to crare my first Restoration Novice level spell which solely focuses on restiring stamina and not health. After that I made my first Mysticism novice level spell after creating one for all the ither schools to understand the principles and laws/rules behind them.

My magicka was larger than even a Hugh Elf teenager would have, but I still didn't have enough to cast a single apprentice level spell.

I had calculated how much magick I had from various tests with other Spells and determined I had roughly less than 50 points of magicka.

Quite low, but an adult would have 100 points while someone of my age should have 20 points or less, so I am good for now.

My magicka was increasing due to unknown variables I was still trying to figure out.

I will need to find additional means of increasing my magicka.

...

After a long chase and a short rest, I made sure that I wasn't followed by the Imperial commander nor anyone else.

Having just arrived at the Waterfront, standing in front of my home I was met with a certain problem.

The tripwire is broken...

I installed a bery specific tripwire at every possible entrance into my home, they all connected and led to a singular place not far from the home.

Which is why I am in front of my home, but still at a distance to be remain hidden.

The tripwire that was broken was both the front and back doors into the building.

My guess is they broke in through the back and then opened the front door.

I used [Detect Magicka], a custom Made Mysticism novice spell that can reveal any density of magicka.

This is supposed to be used to detect the estimated magicka of any living being I may encounter.

I was inspired by the Dragon Priest Morokei's ability to drain the player's magicka.

This is made in a similar way but focused more on sight and used not as a means of offensice but as divination.

I could detect some people within my home.

These people had around a hundred points of magicka, so they are definitely warrior focused combatants rather than Magic users.

But there is one person who was stationery the whole time, they might be sleeping, this person had about 120 points of magicka.

After observing them for some time, I decided yo make my way around to the hidden entrance via a tunnel I had dug out.

It took my two weeks to do something that should have taken 3 days, I was physically dead when I finally finished it.

The tunnel barely had enough room to move in as it was meant for only me to squeeze through as a means of escape or emergency entry like right now.

Using [Detect Magicka] once again, I then opened a secret hatch, using the unassembled blade of the Hidden Blade, I cut down a tarp, then slowly tore down a dirt wall I layed.

Cuting another cloth sheet, moving a bookcase, I was finally inside.

I made my way to the front door where a man was waiting beside ready to cut down anyone who entered.

The man was definitely a Bounty Hunter or Criminal of some kind that involves murder based on everything I evaluated about him.

I had already killed someone in the past month by accident, I felt a tremendous amount of guilt but I had no choice since he saw me and was about to shout to the guards had I not killed him.

It was "Kill or be Killed" in this world, I to all the Divines to take that man's soul to whatever afterlife he had wanted to go to in death.

Approaching the man silently by using [Silent Step], a spell that looks ne to make my steps less noisy but not completely like [Muffle], I was behind him.

I gathered momentum in my swing so that it would allow the blade to pierce his neck in one motion due to my weak physical capabilities, and it did.

The man wasn't even able to cough on the blood so he simply died silently as I did my best to hold him still.

The blood entering his lungs was able to distract him from trying to trash around in order to alert his companions.

With one dead I made my to the artifical Alchemy Table I made and grabbed some ingredients to create a few Poison Darts and a Frenzy Dart.

Finding my next target I shot a Posion Dart, mixed with some hypnotic substances, at the man.

He was confused and staggered, he looked at the Dart but the hypnotic substances mixed in made the Dart look like a spider had just bitten him so he didn't alert his comrades.

I made my way to the first floor bedroom where the rest of the intruders were.

"Why are we even bothering with all this anyway, dear? It's too much of a risk!" An adult High Elf female said to the male adult of the same race.

"Quiet! It's too late to go back on the deal now. We don't have a choice, the Thalmor wants her and so they will get her, end off." The male replied in a quiet yet loud voice.

"Yeah but why the big deal about this brat? She's Commander Rella's daughter. I heard what happened to the last person that tried harming her family."

"You worry too much, She's out chasing some orphan rat all across the city, that's why she won't know her daughter's missing until she goes back in a few more hours at least. But from what I heard, she's been chasing the rat all day. We'll be long gone before she realises. Do you know when the ship will be arriving?"

The woman having been satisfied with his answer, gave one herself to his own question. "They should be here right about now, we'll see them from the window soon enough."

The High Elf man hummed in approval before staring out the window while the Elf woman went over the bag in the corner of the room.

I used [Detect Magicka] and what I suspected was true based on the conversation I overhead.

The bag had a child inside it, a female from what the two High Elves had said.

The little girl is Commander Rella's daughter huh? That Imperial who was chasing me.

Maybe I can win some good points withher if worst comes to worst and my identity is exposed.

She will definitely be indebted to me for having saved her daughter.

Well...I was gonna save her anyway since I can't let a kid die on my watch, it will remain on my conscious for the rest of my several hundred years of life.

(A/n Snow Elf is theorised to have longest lifespan of all Elf variants at about 250 or 300 ---> 400 years lifespan. Snow Elf brothers Vyrthur and Gelebor had their lifespan extended by Auri-El's blessing to 4,000 years. Divath Fyr is a Dunmer/Dark Elf of 250 years lifespan but has lived for thousands of years via magic.)

I aimed a Frenzy Dart at the woman as she was distracted and in a moment she began screaming.

The man turned to her but by then it was too late as she leapt at him with blade in her hand.

The man tried calling out to her buy it was useless since my Frenzy Dart was made of powerful mental debilitating poisons.

They fought for a while, but since the woman had attacked first, she had the advantage and soon killed the man after stabbing him again and again with the blade.

I quickly fired a Poison Dart at her and she dropped dead almost immediately afterwards.

I opened the door wide and approached the bodies, I casted some [Sparks] to see if I could stimulate a reaction from either of them but yhey didn't move.

As a safety precaution I took the blade she used and it their throats for good measure.

After looting them of any valuables, I found a letter with a unfamiliar symbol and name.

(House Nekkai)

The Hell is that?

I'll find our later, if it is a "House", then they must be some sort of faction like House Telvanni or House Redoran Dunmer factions of great wealth, power and political influence.

Since this fuctional Universe is now real, the world is bigger and so too should the amount of things in said world increase.

That would mean there are many MANY more individuals who would have been NPCs, belonging to various political parties and factions, clans and noble houses.

The Skaal tribe is a secretive faction as they had said themselves, so it should be reasonable that there are hidden splinter groups.

There are the Cannibals of the Daedric Prince Namira, Harkon's Vampire clan along with other individual clans of lesser Vampires or Werewolves like the Companions' Inner Circle, the Skaal, the Forsworn, Silverhand, Necromancer groups and many more.

If they all exist, then during the events of tge "Dragon Crisis" 12 years from now at the Thalmor Embassy party, I will know for certain who the, publicly known, big players in all of Skyrim are.

Turning my attention back to the bag in the corner of the room, it was still motionless.

I approached the bag and opened it to reveal a pretty young blonde haired girl, which reached her shoulders.

She wasn't that bad in appearance, she definitely had some Imperial looks about her, maybe some Breton or Nord blood too?

Her magicka was 120ish, so she must be a Breton.

Maybe she was born with greater magicka capacity then normal people like myself. I'm not even half her magicka and she looks like she is my age, maybe a little older.

I shook the girl calling out to her to "Wake up".

Her eyes groggily opened, she must have been drugged, as they did she then saw someone completely covered in rags and cloth while wearing a set of white robes of unique design.

*pow*

Naturally, if someone was kidnapped in the middle of the street and knocked unconscious only yo wake up with someone in your face who looks suspicious and is a stranger to you.

You would obviously react negatively, well due to the brains of this girl, she didn't good responses to these sorts of things and as such, Sivreth was punched in the face by the girl.

Sue to his weak physical body, the punch felt more like a brick being smashed against his skull.

His nose was broken and he was pretty sure he lost a few teeth from that punch.

"STOP! I JUST SAVED YOU! WHY THE HELL DID YOU PUNCH ME?!" I roared as the pain had began to build up after the numbness had subsided.

"I-I, H-HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW! DON'T BE A CREEP AND GET CLOSE TO A GIRL WHILE COVERED UP IN SUSPICIOUS CLOTHES!" The girl was barely able to stutter out a response, but it quickly became a way to vent her trauma as she yeeled every word at me.

I wobbly got to my feet as her punch had hit far harder than I imagined, I guess magic and agility are lore my specialty then physical abilities.

"*grunts* Haa, what's your name, I need to return you to your family."

"Your's first!"

"You hit me when I helped saved you." I stated blankly with a solid poker face which put her on the spot.

She couldn't think of a response to use as a counter argument, instead she simply grumbled out a reply.

"I didn't catch that."

"Elika Ashenclaw." She repeated but this time with a clear voice.

Hmm...never head of that name.

I will need to research about House Nekkai and her family name Ashenclaw.

...

...

...

...

Meanwhile, somewhere within Mundus...

A beautiful female figure who wore clothes unlike any other and whose appearance was simply "Divine", watched both Sivreth and Elika's awkward first meeting.

"That's adorable."

Her voice was like that of a mother's being carried along the wind.

She was of course on of the Nine Divines.

Mara, Goddess of Love.
