Chapter 148

I see the old vampire disappear from my view and hear Akatosh shout in my head.

'Who is that man?!'

He is something called a True Ancestor. They are a more powerful version of Vampire. He did not have any weakness a vampire has. He can walk outside when the sun is in the sky.

'How powerful is he? He can even block my connection to the mortal plane.'

Very powerful. He can defeat a God when he is not in full power.

'What?'

If what he said is true, he is not in his full power as he gets a permanent wound fighting against a God-like entity.

'I see. Do you trust him?'

I don't. Not really. However, I trust the one who reincarnated me into my world.

'Yeah. That thing is something that can kill all of the Gods in this world and come out unscathed.'

Is he that powerful?

'Yes. Anyway, if you trust him, I will let him visit this world. However, I cannot protect him like you. He will be on his own if he gathers someone's attention.'

Really? Are you sure you want to let him do that? What happens when one of the Aedra catches his attention and wants to kill him?

'I will tell the others about him and not try not to do that. However, I will let them know if they want to do that. As long as that man did not kill them, I did not have a problem with him giving them a good beating.'

Right. I will ask him not to cause too much trouble while he is here.

'You do that.'

Anyway, thank you for letting me get more power, Akatosh.

'Think nothing of it. It is an easy task to do. However, from now on, it will be a month here for a day back in your world.'

That is not bad. How long should I be in this place? Should I spend a year here? It is only twelve days, after all.

'Depend on you. However, I recommend you leave when Odin manages to reach Skuldafn.

Skuldafn? What is that?

'The only place where the portal to Sovngarde is located.'

Ahhh, that place.

'Yes. When that happens, you can return to your world. However, before you return, I suggest you increase your pace.'

Right. I will do that. Do you have any information you are willing to give?

'Go Southeast. From Falkreath and go to Bruma. That city needs your help or, rather, the people around it. Five dragons terrorize that area, and you will be the one helping them as Odin is busy with his quest and side quest.'

|3rd POV|

A man in his fifties looks at the letter in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Something good, Your Highness?"

The man looks at his guard and most trusted friend before saying.

"Aye. It looks like the situation in the North is already calming down."

"Skyrim? Is the civil war finally reaching an end? As expected of General Tullius."

"Not that far north, Commander Maro. It is from Bruma."

"Is it related to the Dragon that is causing havoc in that area?"

The man nods his head and says.

"Aye. A man managed to kill two of them in a matter of five days. There is also news of him being a second Dragonborn."

"Don't tell me you believe that legend? Dragonborn and their ability to absorb the souls of dragons."

The man looks at Commander Maro with a small sigh and says.

"You might think of it as a legend but Dragonborn exists, you know? A Dragonborn founded the Septim Dynasty, and even the founder of our empire, Saint Alessia, was a Dragonborn. It is recorded in the book."

The man takes out a black book with a dragon symbol on the cover before continuing.

"It might be a legend for us, but in Skyrim, it is a fact, and do you know where this man is coming from, Commander Maro?"

"Skyrim."

"Aye. He might have heard of the plight of our people in Bruma and decided to help them."

Commander Maro looks at his lord and says.

"What do you want to do, Your Highness?"

"Hmmm. Let's visit Bruma."

"I beg your pardon?"

The man looks at Commander Maro with a smile and says.

"Let's visit the one helping my people. As an emperor, it is my duty to reward someone who helps one of the major counties in my province, right?"

Commander Maro only sighs at his lord's words and nods his head.

"Very well. I shall prepare the others to take you to Bruma. At least, by doing this, we will get some kind of support from the people of Skyrim. Their legendary hero helping the empire will raise morale."

Emperor Titus Mede II nods his head and says.

"Exactly. However, there is a rumor that says someone hired the Dark Brotherhood to kill me. Can you increase the amount of guards coming with us?"

"I do hear that rumor, your highness. I shall increase the guards."

Titus nods his head and leans over his throne. After the Great War and the signing of the treaty, his life was hard because of many assassination attempts from the people who did not like that treaty.

They did not know that if he did not take that action, the empire would be worse than it already is. They did not know, but the food in the empire was already at the very limit, and if he continued the great war, the people of the empire would be dead.

It is with a heavy heart that he agrees with the treaties. He will always bear the shame of that action but will carry that burden until he releases his last breath. His son is not ready to rule, as too many problems in the realm need to be taken care of before he gives the throne to his son.

He knows that the other nobles are already planning to dispose of him, but until that day comes, he will create a better empire for his children and grandchildren.
