#RAGNAR POV#
I can feel it...
I can feel the blood rushing in my veins as my heart speeds up
My magicka pool, which, if I had to compare, was a glass of water next to a bucket
Increasing in size a few times
But... It's my body that gets the most out of it
I start losing a lot of the useless fat still in my body
After a minute or so, I am left standing in front of Albedo and Marika feeling more...confident...
I look at my hands as I feel like a surge of energy is travelling to every inch of my body, like a shock
"Master?" Albedo calls out to me before stumbling as a rumble echoes across the sky
"DOVAHKIIN!!!!"
It echoes through the sky
"Damn," I whisper as the ground stops shaking a few seconds after
"Albedo, Marika, we have to go back. NOW," I tell them as a sinking feeling rises up from my stomach
Shit...I completely forgot about the still living dragon
Marika wraps herself around me as Albedo carries her
We ascend into the sky
YOL TOOR
I look to the side as Marika brings up a ward to defend us
The shout breaks the ward a second after hitting it and sends us barreling across the sky
"DOVAHKIIN HI FOD...!!!"
I turn to the side and see the dragon from Morthal flying toward us, and since it is this close. From its brown scales, it seems to be a rather weak dragon
That is, if this follows the game
Albedo drops Marika and me to the ground, and Marika makes sure to catch me as the Albedo takes the opportunity due to the dragon lunging at her to grab onto its head as she dodges its mouth and grabs its horns
Marika and I roll together on the ground as she brings out her sword on her left, and her right hand lights up with a golden light
I stand up after her, and small balls of electricity form in my hands
Albedo brings out her axe and slams it into the middle of the dragon's head while holding onto one of its horns
Marika raises her right hand and sends a blast of Solar magic toward one of the dragon's wings
Following her example, I bring both of my hands together and barely manage to hit the other wing
The dragon lets out a howl of pain as Albedo and the dragon get closer to the ground, and I can see Albedo still slamming her axe into the middle of the dragon's head
The dragon starts spinning around as it starts coming toward the ground
"ALBEDO, LEAVE THE DRAGON," I order her with desperation in my voice as I do not want her to die
Albedo lets her wings out and takes flight as the dragon gets closer and closer to the ground, managing to save herself as the dragon crashlands
I stumble and fall to the ground due to the force of the impact, while Marika steps in front of me, looking at the fallen dragon
Albedo flies toward us as the dragon gets up, injured but still alive
Standing up, I gulp as the dragon turns its head toward us
It lashes out with its tail
Almost like a whip
Marika manages to parry it, and Albedo follows up by using Alteration magic to move the ground beneath the dragon in an attempt to disorient it
The dragon lashes at us again with its tail while raising its head
YOL...
Taking the opportunity, I launch a bolt of lightning straight into its mouth before it can shout, but things don't go as planned as even interrupting it from saying the second word of power, the first has already been used...
The three of us are then covered in fire
It goes away quickly, and I notice a slight blue and green glow surrounding me
Raising my head again, I look at Albedo, who cast the Flesh spells on the three of us
Looking at the dragon again, fury surges through me when Albedo falls to one of her knees, with some blood slowly falling from her mouth
Glancing at Marika, she has an arm extended with a ward covering the three of us, which is very visibly broken
Both the arm and ward
Her arm is a bit burnt
Looking down at myself, I see that aside from some pain around my body from the force of the impact, I am otherwise fine
'They took the brunt of the attack for me'
I hate it...
Damn it, I hate that damn stupid dragon...
It's not even the same one from Morthal
This one is weak...
I look up at the dragon as I can tell it is looking at me and mocking me with its gaze
Raising my hands, I use Healing Hands to heal Albedo and Marika as much as possible, even if they won't fully heal, it will at least help with the bruises and scrapes, and help them deal with whatever damage they may have sustained that is too great for me to heal
I stare at the dragon as I can see its wounds are starting to seal themselves
'They can fucking heal...well, of fucking course they can...they are practically minor gods in the Elder Scrolls'
Determination, fury, and, to my surprise, a bit of arousal when I see Marika and Albedo's states despite their states
Seeing as the flames burned away parts of their clothes and pieces of the armor they were wearing over them are gone
The expressions of anger on their faces, as well as their determination to protect me, definitely do things to me
Focusing a lot of magicka into my hands, I focus the strongest magic I have ever prepared, and the dragon tries to shout, but stops as nothing comes out, even as it starts to slowly heal
It growls and launches at us
Raising my hands, I launch a continuous stream of electricity toward it as it lunges
It hits it right in the head before spreading to the rest of its body
I keep going...increasing the amount of magicka into the spell...even as the backlash of my own spell starts hurting me...
"ALBEDO...MARIKA...ATTACK..." I grunt out in pain as they prepare their own spells
Albedo alters the terrain to trap the dragon and keep it in place
While Marika starts to launch bolts of solar magic against it
Tearing its scales and flesh apart as it howls in pain
I feel my ears pop as I feel something wet fall down my nose...probably blood
I fall face-first into the ground as the dragon stops howling
My vision is blurry as I see the silhouettes of Marika and Albedo rushing toward me
One of them, I am not sure who, turns me around, but I manage to catch a glimpse of the dragon burning in golden flames, and despite my exhaustion, I smile before gasping
My vision starts to clear up as both Marika and Albedo start to heal
Albedo tilts my head and slowly makes me drink from a regeneration potion, and Marika aids with her healing magic
"Master...you nearly burnt yourself out...look at your arms..." I hear Marika say as she presses her glowing hands on my ears, restoring my hearing
Looking at my arms, I grimace at the burn lines on them, and I can even see some black patches that are being healed by both the potion and Marika's healing magic
Marika brings out 2 potions and drinks them both
A Magicka potion and a Magicka regeneration potion
I let out another gasp as the dragon's body starts burning away and its soul starts to enter me
Warmth spreads through my body as streams of energy surround me, creating a cocoon of sorts
I relax into Marika's and Albedo's embrace as I feel myself becoming...more...
My eyes widen as I start to feel...bloated...weird...
Sitting up despite wanting to stay and enjoy the girl's warmth
I look at the corpse of the Dragon
"It...didn't burn away fully..." I comment as Albedo helps me stand up, while Marika pats my back as the glow in her hands dies down
The dragon still has flesh on it
Curiously, I note that its flesh is glowing gold slightly
"We...need to move it..." I say after a few minutes, still feeling rather bloated but stronger than ever before
The wounds I sustained from using my spell are mostly all gone, partly due to the Dragon Soul I absorbed, Marika's healing magic, and the potion Albedo gave me to drink
Even then, the slight soreness left behind is nearly gone
Marika and Albedo get to work, but not before drinking some potions
Using their Alteration magic, they wrap the dragon into a ball of dirt and stone
They create a platform on the side that we use to fly back to Myrwatch
I make a note to come back and dig up the corpse of the dragon buried in the mound...
