Chereads / Skyrim: The Snow Prince (an Elder Scrolls Fanfic) / Chapter 18 - Chapter 15: Rags to Riches

Chapter 18 - Chapter 15: Rags to Riches

Seeing the Elder Scroll I was holding in all my breath afraid that if I exhaled, it would vannish.

How?!

Why?!

As if answering me, I felt something fast approach my face before I could react, I fell back onto the wooden floor with a loud thud and a acking pain on my forehead.

"Who dares?!"

I yelled out in anger at receiving the unexpected and sudden attack.

I looked everywhere but there wasn't any signs of my attacker.

But then I realised something, the floating book was gone?

I looked at my lap and saw it was there it was, the magic book was radiating a slightly gold hue identical to the one the Elder Scroll was emitting.

I am so confused...???

When I thought that, the book opened and the pages flickered until it reached roughly 4/5ths of its contents.

Reading the page, a tick appeared on my temple as my eye twitched.

"Now I get it, Fuck You!"

The page's contents vannished and new paragraphs of writing appeared.

"Another one? Who are you exactly? Though I partially can guess, I'd still like to confirm it. Also how are you communicating with me and visa versa?

"Fuck you!"

"..."

"Fine you win, just tell me seriously how you can communicate with me."

"Hold up! Ho-"

<*sigh* Fine I'll tell you before you ask. I died cause I may or may have not pissed of every God and especially Akatosh, Auriel and Alduin. Seriously! All three of them came after me for a thousand years straight! What kind of a joke is that! All I did was steal a piece of their soul, no big deal. Anyway, I died cause I had also caused several hundred Dragonbreaks so that I can find the Prime version of us, which is you. Along the way I hoarded much knowledge and even tricked Hermaeous Mora into giving all his knowledge and secrets he had stashed in Apocrypha to me in exchange for knowledge of Earth. It won't affect you since this was my Herma Mora. I had taken preventive measures and used that stolen soul of Akatosh, Auriel and Alduin so I can alter the Dragonbreaks and erase that world and all the beings within it. Although Aka and Lorkhan always remained which was a pain. Eventually they tracked me down after I had met many versions of our alternate timeline selves. Everything I know is inside that Grimore, in order to give it to you I had to let myself be killed so that the Trio Time Gods don't come after you. You'll be safe, but I did place some restraining seals on that Grimore."

I looked at the book in my hands and immediately flicked through all the pages.

My brows furrowed and my eyes scrunched up, 90% of the pages are blank!

And the 10% that wasn't only has the stuff I already knew!

Although some pages were new and had many notes on various magic schools.

Not only that but there was notes and helpful knowledge for many non magical things such as various combat forms and techniques, agriculture, politics, economics, business, Archery, Blacksmithing, farming, chemistry, physics, biology, law, construction, alchemy, lockpicking methods, Pickpocket techniques and much, much more.

However, they were only 10% of what was revealed to me.

Against my wishes, the Grimore floated out of my hand and turned back to the page of my future self's messages.

"Oi! Why is basically the entire dann thing empty!"

"Forget this now, tell me about the Elder Scroll. I know there has to be a reason for it."

"Never say that ever again..."

"..."

<...>

"Answer or I burn this..."

"*sigh* Just tell me why you gave me the Elder Scroll."

"What do you mean? Why not?"

The book glowed purple and golden version of a soul gem appeared out of it like my Spear's Storage Ring, as well as a note.

Looking back to what my future self would say, he indeed did answer me.

I was irritated my future self didn't give me anything else but accepted it.

"Well all this is cool and all but won't it cause a Time Loop. Better yet, you do know how Dragonbreaks work? Won't all brnached of Timelines as a result of a Dragonbreak just rejoin and combine back into a singular Timeline? That would mean my and your Akatosh are the same and he will know everything you had done and come after me."

(A/n there is an actual name or the Ore but I had lost my note of it and is literally impossible to find it again with research. It's in ESO and makes retrench to Mask of Alkosh similar to Wooden Mask's Time properties.)

I was shocked upon reading what my future self had said, he had killed Miraak and all the things he said were equally shocking.

Looking through more pages I found that my future self also gave some information he had gained from various timeline alternations he had made that could reflect my own Timeline and assist me.

But not everything is revealed, like things regarding 4E 201st, when Alduin Returns or Miraak.

They were among the 90% of the hidden contents of the Grimore.

The 10% I already have access to is more than enough for me to use, it simply is amazing.

Not only that but certain page's knowledge I can absorb directly by touching it, although it's more like 2nd rate knowledge and not my own experiences.

The knowledge I gained through this method were from the various alternate versions of myself my future slef must have encountered.

Looking at the Elder Scroll, it had transformed into a bracelet and latched itself to my wrist. I could remove it with just a thought, in addition it seems a spell was cast on it permanently to keep its weight from pulling me to the ground.

It weighs 20 kilograms in its full form, as a ring it should remain the same, but since my future self had cast a spell on it, it weighs only a few grams.

Gazing at it and the book, I decided to learn what I could from the latter before using the Elder Scroll to create the 4th Moon in accordance with my master plan.

There was one thing that did please me the most form all this, and it was that all the knowledge of the Alchemist Curalmil was available to me and non of it was restricted.
