It was about knowledge, no matter if it was about conjuration, destruction or resurrection.\n\nHis teaches were nice too, so were his class mates.\n\nCurrently they were teaching history, they were learning about \"the great return\".\n\nThat made Agvar curious, the return of what ?\n\nFinally the teacher was beginning to talk.\n\n\"The great return is about, as it says, the returning of alduin, and how he killed the dovakiin 24 years ago.\n\nA violent murderer who was killing our dragonlords for no reason, oh, well it seems that you can go home now, everybody grab an example of the book and read it.\" the teacher was faster out of the class than all of the students.\n\nWhen Agvar grabbed one of the books an began to walk out of the school, he could see a small map with all important dragonlord castles, each built on the cities of the old jarls.\n\nHe didn't know how a dragon even looked, not many people did, even thou they were the rules of all of tamriel.\n\nAgvar took all of his equipment and sat down under a bridge, witch might seem sad.\n\nBut he is a mage, he knows how to make fire and everything to survive, he has a good live actually.\n\nAnd sometimes people would smile at him and give him free food, he was able to get his own by hunting, but it was to relax for a short time.\n\nWith his magic he lightened up a torch and began to read the book.\n\nPhysical description of alduin was the first thing that was in the book.\n\nThen personality and then a story of how he defeated the dragonborn and conquered the empire.\n\nHe took over the world in just 3 month.\n\nAlduin also rebuilt his old nordic ruins.\n\nFrom what he has read in the book, Alduin had to be a humiliating, dangerous and merciless ruler.\n\nWitch was of course true.\n\nThe time has passed away quickly, he had devoured the book with his mind and was tired of staying awake so long.\n\nHe was thinking about Alduin, if he was ruling the dragons and the dragons were ruling tamriel, why aren't we seeing dragons flying around ?\n\n\"Tomorrow I will do some research that. It might be really interesting\" he said to himselg before going to sleep.\n\n* * *\n\nHe was dreaming, he was traveling through the realms of existence, to autherius.\n\nAgvar was dreaming of sovngarde, the place of the slain.\n\nFlying around, not touching the ground, then he flew further, into fog.\n\nIn the fog that he was in, he began to feel cold, he was no longer in sovngarde.\n\nNow he was in some cave, he couldn't see anything.\n\nIt felt like he was freezing to death, until something touched him from behind.\n\nHe turned around, but couldn't see its face, but he was sure it was looking at him.\n\nIt pushed him onto the ground and laid down, around him, warming it.\n\nNow he was travelling backwards, through walls of stone.\n\nHe was awakening, in a sitting position, the way he had fallen asleep.\n\nThe sun was shining and the dog of the guard was sleeping next to him.\n\nHis college had a sun clock on the biggest building, where the teachers lived.\n\nHe still had 2 hours before school starts.\n\nHe had a friend too, only 1.\n\nAgvars best friend, Illiares, an Aldmer born in skyrim.\n\nBoth were friends since childhood, Illiares was 1 year older.\n\nIn comparison, Illiares was far superior in all arcane arts.\n\nHe didn't notice that Illiares was standing next to him, until he pushed him over.\n\n\"Is there a reason you are always here ? I already told you, you can seek refuge in my room.\"\n\nIlliares said with a strict voice.\n\n\"Hey buddy and no, I do not want to, I'm ok with this bridge, I don't need help.\n\nHe smiled at Illiares, he might seem unfriendly, but that was just his way of talking, he was actually a friendly guy, very tolerant and intellectual.\n\nAgvar stood up and smiled at his Aldmer friend.\n\n\"So, why are you here ? You need something right ? Otherwise you wouldn't have come to see me 2 hours before school would start.\"\n\nChuckling Illiares answered.\n\n\"Its nothing I want from you, I wanted to give you something, its a ring, it enhances the regeneration of mana, I do not need it since my Aldmer blood is superior in magic that any other race.\"\n\nA typical sentences for an Aldmer, but he was right.\n\nAgvar took the ring, it was a gold ring with a ruby in it and sometimes there was a little blue spark cycling around the ring, but that was all.\n\n\"Yea, thanks. So...was that all ?\" he looked ad Illiares.\n\n\"It was, I know that you know that these items aren't allowed at test, but if you are running in the wild, a little bit extra is beneficial. And besi-\"\n\nIlliares words were interrupted by students talking loud, he could see they were all gathering at the big cycle in the middle of the sky theatre, a theatre without roof.\n\n\"Hey, common its something important !\"\n\nWithout letting Agvar respond, he dragged him to the theatre.\n\n50 students and their 12 teachers gathered in the theatre.\n\nThey were waiting for something.\n\n\"Ok students, a dragon is coming to your college, bow down if he lands, or he will slaughter us.\"\n\nThat was the head teacher, a strong mage with a lot of courage, he has already slain various beast, dremora, feral werewolves and even a draugr death lord.\n\nIf he showed fear, witch he was, they were in trouble and needed to follow his advice.\n\nAgvar could hear wings flapping, all people bowed down, preparing.\n\nHe did the same.\n\nThen finally, he felt the ground shaking and claws scratching against the stone ground.\n\nThe dragon has landed.\n\nHe began to speak with the deepest voice Agvar has ever head, the ground was slightly shaking.\n\n\"The leader of this college will now step forward.\"\n\nHe didn't ask, he commanded.\n\nThe head teacher, obeyed the dragons words.\n\nAgvar was still looking on the ground, he didn't want to draw the dragons attention.\n\n\"I-Im not worthy of your presence, how may I assist you my dragon overlord ?\"\n\nHe clearly was in fear, not anger him.\n\n\\*Wait...dragon overlord ? I know dragon-lords, but not dragon overlords, maby its just a higher ranked dragon...\\*\n\nAgvar was deep in his own thoughts, trying to Imagen the dragon that was speaking.\n\nHe came to the conclusion that it was probably one with red colour.\n\nA legendary dragon, how humans called them.\n\nHe was thinking so much that he didn't half of their dialogue.\n\n\"Students, one of you will receive something that is without price, something that only one of you will ever have, those of you who think they are worthy to receive it, step forward.\"\n\nNobody was moving.\n\n\"W-Well I g-guess some of them are shy\" he clenched his teeth.\"Common, somebody\"\n\nStill, nobody was moving.\n\n\"It seems your students do not believe to be worthy,kusah\"\n\nAgvar knew a bit dovahzul, kusah meant interesting.\n\nThe dragon looked around. \"Show me your best student.\"\n\nHe commanded.\n\n\"Illiares, step forward.\" The head teacher said.\n\nThe young Aldmer stepped forward to the dragon, but didn't look him in the eyes, he looked to the ground.\n\n\"You are the best student then ? pruzaan prustiik.\"\n\n\"Y-Yes.... I a-am.\"\n\nAgvar didn't want to look, to draw the attention of the dragon towards him.\n\nThe dragon overlord looked at him for a second, then he said something Agvar didn't expect.\n\n\"That's enough. Go back to your position\" Illiares just bowed and walked back to Agvar.\n\n\"Illiares, did you do something wrong ? I didn't want to look.\" Agvar was curious.\n\n\"Shh, quiet.\" Illiares responded quietly.\n\nBoth didn't notice that the dragon was looking at their direction.\n\nAgvar risked a small look at the dragon, just a short one.\n\nWhen he looked, he almost froze and quickly looked back on the ground.\n\nThe dragon not only looked at him directly in the face, it was not a legendary dragon.\n\nIt was the one dragon that ruled them, it was alduin.\n\nThis was very bad, he should have looked, not even talked.\n\nAgvar closed his eyes tightly and hoped that the dragon overlord Alduin wasn't looking anymore.\n\nBut it got worse.\n\n\\*Pleasepleasepleaseplease don't call me out ! Anything but not that !\\*\n\nAlduin chuckled a bit.\n\n\"Why don't you come out and talk a bit with me....it seemed that you like talking. Krastuv mal mun.\" The insults of Alduin himself only weakened him, he said Agvar was a disgusting little human.\n\nHe was shaking as he stood up and shaking more and more the closer he got.\n\nAgvar was sure that alduin could smell his fear.\n\n\\*Please, something happen, divines help me ! Something get me out of here ! I want to break out of my human shell and just fly away \\*\n\nOf course praying was useless in this situation.\n\nHe had reached the devour of worlds and just stood there, he could feel Alduin staring at him.\n\nAs if he was about to be eaten.\n\n\"You don't want to talk anymore, but you seemed so talkative back there...Zu'u vis sahlon hin faas Hi laan wah ru hond dreh ni hi ahrk iliis los zu'u viilt ?\"\n\nIt was both, at test and an intimidation, the words that alduin said in dovahzul.\n\n\"I'm not a coward.. I don't run away...\"\n\nAgvard only understood half of it, something like, why dont you run away.\n\nBut that was enough to impress Alduin a bit.\n\n\"Hm... you speak dovahzul, I did not expect that from a weak human like you.. In what arcane are are you good, prustiik ?\"\n\nAgvar wasn't the best, but he knows some good destruction spells, even some forbidden spells.\n\n\"Destruction...I'm good in destruction.\" He was still shaking, he felt like these were his last breaths.\n\nA small pause was followed before he said something he wasnt allowed to say.\n\n\"I...also know some forbidden spells....\" he then said.\n\nThe head teacher immediately interrupt their dialogue \"Agvar !-\"\n\nBut Alduin stopped The head teachers upcoming speech \"Quiet ! Do not dare to interrupt my dialogue ! Zu'u vust krii hi viilt mindok !\"\n\nThe head teacher shrieked back and stayed quiet and all the students started shaking in fear.\n\n\"Forbidden spells ?\" The black dragon moved his head closer.\n\n\"Please...explain.\" His voice has changed from a strict to a more friendlier but still humiliating voice.\n\nAlduins head closer made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he had to continue.\n\n\"I don't have names for them...i made them...\" His spells were extremely powerful even thou he wasn't the best but if you know how to use soul gems and concentration then you can create every spell.\n\n\"A spellcrafter..and a young too...you impress me... tell me about them. Tu'ur gir\"\n\nAlduin got back into his previous position, a proud position you'd expect from a dragon.\n\n\"Well...one is a mixture between lightning storm and life drain...while I'm using it, it drains the life and magickal energy from anything in a 10 meter radius...so it doesn't deplete my mana that fast..\n\nAnd the other one is a from of telekinesis.. it is a lot stronger...I could use it to brake bones.. using it feels like having long arms...i was able to crush a steel armour with it...\"\n\nThat was enough for alduin to feel impressed, even from a little human..\n\n\"I have made my decision. You will come with me. Uv dir\"\n\n\\*Come with me or die...\\*\n\nWhere would he take him ? Would the thing he will receive be there ?\n\nWith an exhausted voice he accepted Alduins offer, even thou it was no offer.\n\nIt was maby a good idea to impress him, he would have probably been slaughtered.\n\nAnd he was lucky too, these were the only spells he knew that were forbidden.\n\nThey were forbidden by the arch mage ministry because they were too dangerous, therefore they were not allowed to write them in any book.\n\n\"Yes..i will come with you..I'm honoured\"\n\nAgvar was actually honoured, Alduin has chosen him instead of his friend.\n\nBut why was it important that he knew these spells and understood a bit dovahzul ?\n\n\"Climb onto my back Mun, we will fly to a distant location\"\n\nFlying ? Was it that far away ? Well, he had to obey, so he climbed onto his back.\n\nThere wasn't really any spot where he could sit, his scales were sharp, and like spikes growing out of his back so he just grabbed the biggest scale and held onto it, standing on other scales.\n\nHe wanted to say goodbye but at that moment Alduin the destroyer began to swing his wings.\n\nAgvar had trouble holding but didn't fall off.\n\nThe big scale he was holding on felt like it was unbreakable.\n\nAfter a few wing swings they were so high that a fall would be fatal.\n\nThe black dragon now began to fly forward, towards the mountains, very fast.\n\nWinds were cooling Agvars hands and body rapidly down, he could feel them anymore.\n\nNow he was shaking again, this time more because of the cold than the fear of falling down and the adrenaline flowing through his veins.\n\nThe relieve was in sight, a small cave on a high mountain seemed like a place to hide something.\n\nThat must be the place where they are heading.\n\nFinally reaching the cave he immediately jumped down to warm his body and his hands with a magically powered flame.\n\nAlduin just chuckled at him.\n\n\"Normally I would have let an unworthy human like you walk the way to the mountain and climb here, but I didn't want to wait another eternity, dii yun aar\"\n\nAgvar didn't understand what he said, but it was probably an insult.\n\n\"You may speak now.\" Alduin looked at him, with his glowing red eyes, piercing his very soul.\n\n\"I-I have a question....actually two, where are we and...what will I receive ?\"\n\nHe wanted to get straight to the point, that would reduce the risk to say something that might insult the dragon that had the power to kill him instantly and was ruling the world.\n\n\"We are at my lookout, here I watch over most of skyrim and you already received your reward.\"\n\nHe was now chuckling with a deeper and more evil voice, clearly laughing at Agvar.\n\n\"...What do you mean ?\" Agvar was really confused now.\n\n\"Hefhah, You are my slave. That is what you receive, you have the honour to serve me in any way. You'll do everything I tell you. I've you behave I will give you a bit more freedom, you major function will be cleaning up here, at the moment. dii sahlo mal aar\"\n\nAgvar was shocked, that meant he was not able to go back, he had to stay.\n\nHe bowed down, he was now more exhausted and sad, vanishing the flame that warmed him up.\n\n\"You don't talk back that is something I do like, Aar\"\n\nAar probably meant slave.\n\nNow his thoughts were getting worse, he was only wearing a robe, only a robe, nothing more, not even underwear. He had forgotten to put them on.\n\nAgvar knew that Alduin was not interested in these things anyway, he had heard they cant reproduce and therefore have not reproduction organs.\n\nBut was more worrying was that, if he had to stay here forever, or a long time he would freeze to death.\n\nBefore he could ask any questions about cloth, Alduin flew away.\n\nLeaving Agvar alone.\n\nHe looked around, the cave was mostly empty, there wasn't even a bed.\n\nThere were only some tools, a broom a smaller broom a bucket and a sponge...and a hammer and chisel...what were these for ?.\n\nThe cave was clean yet, so he had time to meditate and think.\n\nHe sat down on the edge and created a firecycle to sit it.\n\nIt felt like it was summer and the sun was shining.\n\nMeditating while keeping the fire alive was a challenge, but he got used to it after a few minutes.\n\nWas that the way the rest of his life would be ?\n\n-End of chapter 1-\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Slave of alduin","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/779883-slave-of-alduin-prologue.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/780863-slave-of-alduin-chapter-2.json"}}
