GD: Skyrim Part XIX
#20 of Gamer Diaries: Skyrim
Hello all and happy Tuesday! I know I missed Friday's weekly post but I've been busy with a lot of stuff including recovering from a particularly nasty cold. I decided that from now on I'm going to post Gamer Diaries: Skyrim chapters on Tuesday and Friday.
The main reason is because I need to discipline myself and get back into the swing of posting things regularly without giving in to the fear of what people like and don't like. I know people like this series but I also feel guilty for the lack of other content that's been sitting for a while. With the revision going on it's a lot easier to do this than trying to juggle multiple stories. I also want to get back into weekly postings and a good way to get into that is with a short easy-to-complete project. These are bi-weekly because they're really short and it doesn't take long to put chapters together. When I get back to longer stories, they'll likely be once a week.
Okay, that's all for now. Stay safe everyone and happy reading.This is a non-profit fanfiction. The Elder Scrolls and Skyrim are registered trademarks of ZeniMax Media Inc.

Skyrim

Part XIX: Together Again
It's official. Isran's an asshole. I knew the guy was a hardass but seriously, he could've warned me that the people he sent me to find were less than pleased with him. The good news was they knew the threat vamps posed and changed their tune the moment I brought them up.
Sorine was a bit of a hardcase, but tracking her down was easy enough, thankfully. Although I could have done without the mudcrabs. I hate those things. A few years back one had grabbed me by the tail while I was bathing by the river. It was not something I wanted to repeat. But now that I had tracked down some backup it was time to report back to Isran and learn what needed to be done next.
What I didn't expect was to find Serana waiting for me when I got back to Fort Dawnguard. Even more surprising was that Isran didn't lob her head off on sight. Old man must be getting soft.
Serana explained her father was on a mission to put out the sun. It sounded ridiculous but I have already seen things that defied explanation. Plus if there was any part of that plan that did work, we were all in trouble. After seeing what vamps were capable of, I couldn't turn away. How was I supposed to become rich if the vampires are taking over the world?
Isran was just as hardheaded as I expected but he decided to let me investigate it at least. He definitely thinks we're going to fuck up and something tells me I won't get a pat on the back when I prove him wrong. Anyway, we weren't proving anything without a moth priest to help us read the scroll, and it just so happened one was visiting Skyrim. We just had to track him down.
Something about this just felt...wrong. A moth priest just happened to be in Skyrim now of all times? This, the psijic order, the visions with the dragon, I was never one to believe in divine providence but it was starting to feel like it.
Why couldn't my destiny be to live a boring life with a boring family in the middle of nowhere?
Well, Serana recommended we go to the College of Winterhold to ask about the moth priest. I didn't have a better idea, but first, I wanted to go to Whiterun. I needed to turn in the stupid dragonstone and do that job for Maven. Plus, I still had books to gather and return.
