[A/N: And for chapter 100 we bring you PaaaaaaaaaarThuuurrrrNaaaaaaaaaaaax!]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Drem Yol Lok. Greetings, wunduniik. I am Paarthurnax. Who are you? What brings you to my strunmah...my mountain?"
Oh, my, Talos!
I think I shouldn’t have added too many dragon mods!
"Haha! Hah Hah! Jon, my eyes are playing one silly trick on me."
That makes two of us.
This, this is a little bit too big!
In front of me was someone I yearned to meet since the very first day I came to this world.
Paarthurnax! The Master of the Greybeards.
But the Paarthurnax in front of me is a little bit too large.
Nope! Maybe this is just too freaking large.
What the hell?
***
[Few Hours Earlier]
’High Hrothgar’ or ’Hrothgar’ is an ancient monastery located in the peaks of the Throat of the World, the tallest mountain in all of Tamriel. High Hrothgar is the home of the Greybeards, a group of powerful monks that dedicate their lives to studying the Way of the Voice.
The monastery itself was built to block the road beyond it. That road is what leads to the peak of the ’Throat of the World’. There lies the place I want to collect the unmelting snow from as well as Paarthurnax, master of the Greybeards and the ancient dragon that lived through the ages on the mountain waiting for the return of the ’World-Eater’.
Now, to pass the monastery, I need to go unnoticed by the Greybeards who won’t let anyone pass the place. That’s why I needed some sort of method. The best way I could think of was to make myself disregardable to pass through the place.
The ’disregard shout’ was something I developed by creating the Aspect of being disregarded. That is why I sat frozen in the woods for a full week to get disregarded by the wild to the highest degree possible. The moment I understood how to be disregarded, I started developing the shout.
It took me one month but it was an easy one.
I can shout it at myself or at someone, but its effect is very annoying.
For example, if I made Jull disregard me, she may not notice me next to her, if she is fighting she may shoot arrows while ignoring me who may be on the way, if we went somewhere together she may forget who did she go with or why she is here.
That’s why we tied our hands to each other so that we can’t forget each other. We also did the same with Nefertiti.
After that I shouted: "VONED NIBOR DUZRAH" which means: "Disregard, Ignore, Forget."
As long as I am in a physical contact with Jull and Nefertiti, we can be aware of each other but that was a bit hard. Still, we managed it somehow. Casting magic or throwing an object won’t disturb the effect though!
Now the problem was how to pass the monastery of ’High Hrothgar!’.
Should we go through or go around?
Going through is dangerous! Going around is dangerous too.
Going through means having a great possibility to confront the Greybeard which is something I don’t want to do at all.
Going around means passing through the monastery like thieves which also may offend the Greybeards.
After thinking, rethinking and overthinking, I decided to summon it over. The awesome Flame Atronach Hawk.
"We are riding it over the monastery!"
"Are you sure we will be safe?"
"No! But I can think of a way to get the attention of whoever finds us away."
I started doing some preparations around the entrance of ’High Hrothgar’. A small prank to be frank.
After that, I jumped on the Flame Atronach Hawk and Jull who was carrying Nefertiti clung onto me. After it rose over fifteen meters, it could barely fly over the roof of the monastery.
The other side of the monastery is within reach but I could see a tower on the other side. The other side has a courtyard and a tower indeed but the monks shouldn’t be going out that much, yet it seemed someone is the there.
I don’t recognize that someone but he wasn’t that old as I remember the Greybreads should be. He was in a black robe and apparently had shaved his head. He was sitting atop the tower.
By checking him more clearly, I noticed that he was a bit too young! Who is that?
It doesn’t matter as long as the plan works.
After we passed the monastery and flew over the courtyard, I cast ’Featherfall’ and jumped down from the Flame Atronach Hawk with Jull and Nefertiti.
The Hawk kept flying until it got the attention of the person on the tower. As he saw it, he appeared to have panicked and went down from the tower to check the weird flaming bird that was flying over the monastery.
He judged that it was troublesome and evoked a Frost Magic spell then started attacking the Flame Atronach Hawk. I was commanding the Hawk to evade left and right to test this unknown person’s ability. Once he got sick of the movement he inhaled and fixed his sight on the Hawk.
"FO KRAH!"
Woah!
Did he just use the Thu’um?
Look at that!
Frost Breath Shout?!
That person just shouted two words of Frost Breath shout?
A frost force wave emerged from that person’s voice and struck the Flame Atronach Hawk. The hawk took damaged and disappeared due to it.
Amazing!
’System! Record that in a video file!’
<Confirmed!>
Good, now let’s see.
Something made of wood fell from the sky after the hawk was destroyed.
As that man saw it, he hurried towards it and picked it up.
Once he saw it he froze for a second, then started running to the monastery. He clearly got panicked.
"I saw you writing something on that wooden plate. What was it?" Jull asked.
"It said ’Grind Zey Ahst Havaat!’."
"And it means?"
"Meet me at the entrance!"
"... Why would he do what you tell him?"
"Let’s just say humans are a bit easy to manipulate!"
I walked through the now empty courtyard and headed to the way beside the tower. There, we saw a gate and what was beyond it was a wall of storm. No one can pass anything like that.
There is only one way to pass it but I was waiting for something.
I was focusing my ears on something far away and after a few minutes, I could finally hear it.
*... bang!*
This meant that the people inside the monastery finally went to the entrance. I left some rune traps on the floor ahead of the entrance of the monastery. They were nothing serious, just a ’Flash Bang Rune’.
Now let’s get this over with.
"LOK VAH koor!"
I used a Thu’um I barely mastered! The first and the second words went well but the third didn’t come out.
"Hurry! Let’s run."
As I shouted! The storm wall disappeared and the path beyond it was clear.
’Lok Vah Koor’ is the ’Clear Skies Shout’ that can clear the wind and make the weather into its best condition. It is also a very important shout in the game.
As the road beyond the storm wall was cleared, I ran holding Jull’s hand. We were running as if a mammoth was behind us.
I actually was afraid from the Greybeards so I prepared a puny trick to make them look away for a while.
After that we kept moving forward in a very harsh road, every two or three minutes I had to use ’Clear Skies Shout’ to keep advancing. And finally, we reached the place we needed.
The peek of the ’Throat of the World’. The Top of the ’Snow Tower’. The highest spot of earth known to in the whole continent of Tamriel.
And I think I can feel him gazing at us. Here he is!
I can see him.
He spread his wings with vigor and soared in the sky, then and with some graceful movement that didn’t suit that size of his, he landed in front of us!
"JON! SOMETHING IS COMING! BE CAREFUL!"
*boom* *shake*
"Drem Yol Lok. Greetings, wunduniik. I am Paarthurnax. Who are you? What brings you to my strunmah...my mountain?"
Oh my Talos!
I think I shouldn’t have added too many dragon mods!
What appeared to me in front of me was a dragon. But even with immortality the dragons shout have, this dragon showed clear signs of great age, including tattered skin on his wings and tail, broken and chipped horns and chin-spikes, dulled color in his skin and eyes, and several teeth missing.
"Haha! Hah Hah! Jon, my eyes are playing one silly trick on me."
That makes two of us!
"Excuse me for a second!" I said as I regained some composure. I moved to the side and looked at Paarthurnax from the side.
Yep! I am sure of it now!
This is not the normal size of the dragon I thought it should be.
This is too freaking large!
The dragons from the game were almost around twenty meters long and four meters high but this was double of that?
Dammit, Bethesda! You even cheated us with the size of the freaking dragons.
"Jon, Jon, what are you doing?"
"Oh! Sorry! Excuse my rudeness, My name is Jon Dare. Officially, Jonhild Firemane. It is an honor to meet the Grandmaster of the Greybeards."
"Master?! They see me as master. Wuth. Onik. Old and wise. It is true I am old though."
"Part of the wisdom can only be obtained with age." I replied. "But that’s not what I am really here to talk about. You already know who am I, right?"
The dragon was a bit taken aback then said: "Yes. Vahzah. You speak true. Forgive me. It has been long since I held tinvaak (conversation) with a stranger. I gave in to the temptation to prolong our speech."
"I don’t mind at all. We still have some time before the world start lashing at us!" I said while laughing.
"Zurun! (Strange!) You seem to already know much about your Dez, your fate!"
"You will be surprised by how much I know! But that’s not our concern anyway. We still have a short time to enjoy this peace!"
"Vahzan! True! Tell me. Why do you come here, volaan? Why do you intrude on my meditation?"
"Don’t call me ’volaan’ like it is a bad thing. You will be seeing me a lot from now on. Also, I came here to take some of the unmelting snow to fix that thing and will be leaving as well. I hope you don’t mind."
