Chapter 136: Chapter 129 *Lewd*

I let out a long breath looking around the rubble that was Harkon's castle. It had a name, a more grandiose one that was probably intentionally hard to pronounce, but I didn't care to even consider it. Perhaps I was being a bit dramatic, there was a large hole that caved in probably half the structure, but otherwise it was somewhat standing still.

I was tired.

I took a moment to let the fight replay in my head. It was a strange thing, to be so calm and peaceful among this place littered with corpses….. Well, they were vampires, not that I immediately assign a monstrous status to the species, but this lot elicited no remorse from me.

Whether any got away or not, I don't know. But many seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, perhaps to kill the victor and claim everything themselves.

Regardless, there were no other living beings on this island other than me.

Harkon was surprisingly strong. Easily stronger than those two dragons, maybe even by several folds. He was skilled too, his movement with his sword shone with experience that required many years to achieve. His mastery of that blood magic…..it was impressive. I've never delved into the subject, so it left a small impression on me. Honestly, I feel like the fight may have gone a few more rounds had he not been so…..rusty.

Rusty, that was perhaps the best way I could describe it. He had the skill and strength, but I could make a few guesses that he hadn't actually fought or seriously trained in many – many years.

And I attacked that Daedric Prince…..probably not a smart idea, but the idea of him intentionally trying to harm Meridia set me off.

My Sword of Destruction, I should have used it previously, not hid its abilities to hurt that thing just for some retribution. Even if I didn't activate it and merely used my Power of Destruction, it would have been a big help against his regeneration.

I looked at a familiar sword on the ground, that katana variant that continuously tried to take my head before.

I didn't touch it quite yet, it gave me an…..icky feeling. Not really demonic, not even bloodthirsty, just kind of gross.

Don't think it's good enough to match up to my other swords, but my greedy nature still wants me to take it all the same. With a wave of my hand, I took it into my ring, along with the other valuables I acquired here.

I raided his library and boy was there a lot of stuff. I'm sure Jinn will be overjoyed to shift through everything, especially when we set up our own little library in our house. And he had a treasury, like piles of gold kind of treasury. I was rich, very, very, rich at this point.

I didn't find that mace anywhere, not that I wanted it. My first thought was to toss it into a sun, in some random dimension, but I guess that god had the forethought to retrieve it before departing.

With a sigh I stood up. "I'm coming, I'm coming." Muttered as Dawnbreaker visibly grew brighter. I could guess that Meridia was telling me to get a move on it.

With a shake of my head, I quickly made myself presentable with some magical applications and I opened up a portal back home.

I almost didn't recognize where I was. The house that was empty before was now suddenly filed with furniture and actually looked lived in. Granted, it didn't appear modern, but it was definitely giving off a cozy feeling.

My eyes turned to Meridia who was sitting on the nearby sofa.

"Jinn really moves quickly." I whistled, eyeing the place.

"I lent a hand." Meridia said calmly.

I blinked at that, opting to take a seat next to her. "She did say you two have been chatting." Meridia seemed…..out of it, for lack of a better term.

"She has an interesting perspective." Merida replied, not elaborating.

"She gave you a key too?"

"Yes, I asked to borrow it. Does that bother you?"

"Nope, not at all." I gave her a smile. "I intended to give you one. I just wanted to make sure my defenses weren't broken."

"Your defenses." She pursed her lips. "They are adequate I suppose."

"Mmm, well I don't expect them to hold back someone on your level, but at the very least I don't think you'd be able to look inside without my knowing."

Meridia didn't outwardly react. "It's as you say."

"Meridia." I scooted closer. "What's wrong?"

"I am….distressed and I don't know how to feel." She glanced at me then back at the ground. "I should be overwhelmingly angry at you, doing something so foolish as to attack Molag Bal like you did."

I let out a sigh. "I may have not thought that through properly. But what happened? I assumed that you would have popped up as soon as Molag Bal made an appearance, especially with Dawnbreaker in my hand."

Meridia briefly snarled, before evening her expression. "He managed to play a small trick on me, preventing me from interfering. I appeared as soon as I tore down the 'gift' he placed. It prevented any other of our kind from approaching the island."

"I see...it was a trap from the get-go, not just for me." I ran a hand through my hair. "What's the chance he's already making another move?"

"Unlikely." Meridia pursed her lips. "He expended a large amount of power, he will not be able to manifest anything onto Nirn for many months. It's…..difficult to explain the shackles places on us here. Only the smallest bits of our power can fit through the net that covers this world. You could say he expended the 'allowance' he was provided by the laws here, and he's currently destitute."

I tugged on her gently, she allowed me to pull her in close. "I keep worrying you, huh?"

She let out a small huff, but otherwise didn't object to my statement. "I was able to watch…." She said quietly. "To say I did not enjoy you getting angry on my behalf would be a lie. Even if I am angry at your actions….." She pushed her head into my chest, her worlds slightly muffled. "They continue to make my heart beat faster."

"You're my woman." I whispered, my fingers running through her hair. "Even if he's stronger than me, I won't let someone get away with trying to hurt you."

She made a small sound, as if she was unsure how to express her emotions. She pulled her head up, looking at me. "Why must you keep doing this to me? To make me act as if I'm a young maiden, to bring a flush to my face and a warmth in my chest? Your previous words have left me locked inside my own thoughts. How often I drift to such whimsies as my belly being swollen, to have infants cradled in my arms."

"I often daydream of such things too." I couldn't help but smile. "My Meridia trying to wrangle a handful of mischievous children."

"You taunt me with something I can't have." She pouted.

"For now, but that could change in the future."

Her breathing hitched ever so slightly, her cheeks showing the faintest pink. "You...better take responsibility for putting such ideas into my head."

I leaned in stealing her lips for a brief moment. "I'll show you how I take responsibility." I grinned, quickly sweeping her off her feet. She made another cute noise as she latched onto me to stop from falling.

"W-what do you think you're doing?" She huffed.

"Taking you up to my bedroom." I replied, as I made my way to the stairs. "I want to fully make you mine."

"Pervert." She whispered, but her expression betrayed any semblance of reluctance.

***Warning Lewd Content Ahead***

I held off long enough, I was going to take her and make her mine fully and thoroughly. Sliding into my bedroom, I gently placed her on the mattress, one of the few items I had held over from my birth world in this house.

She laid back, looking at me with a mixture of expectance and shyness. Purely on this expression, I could never guess she was a goddess with so much power at her fingertips.

I didn't immediately devour her, opting to gently place my lips against hers. She welcomed it, her hands finding sanctuary around my head, deepening the kiss. It was clear this was something she was yearning for as much as I was.

"Meridia." I whispered, breaking out mutual affection. "I'm going to take you, Goddess. You're going to be mine, now and forever."

There was a sash, a piece of fabric that held her robes together, to stop them from opening. I gently reached for it, pulling it slowly off. Her breathing picked up as I pulled it free from its confines. Her clothing having nothing else to keep it secure, I began peeling it away.

I admired everything about her, the sight burned into my memory forever. Her breasts bounced lightly as the fabric was pulled away, revealing her nipples already hard from arousal, but I didn't stop there. My eyes trailed down, and my hand reached for her milky white legs.

"Are they everything you thought they would be?" Meridia tried her best to look composed, but the red cheeks were throwing it off. "Your constant perversions about my legs, they are available to you now."

I gave her thigh a squeeze, earning a small yelp from her. "Absolutely beautiful." I kissed her thigh, and continued to every few inches, slowing moving upwards. Every inch I moved up, she shuddered, like a shock going through her body until finally, her legs began to spread open, revealing her most sacred place.

She had just the tiniest bit of hair on her mound, the same golden blonde that matched her head. Gently, I moved my hand to trace around her entrance, my thumb brushing against her clit. I continued to caress her inner thigh, and lightly touched around her opening, enough that I noticed her arousal apparent. Looking at her content expression, the way her mouth hung slightly ajar, it emboldened me to continue, and I gently pushed a finger inside.

"Hn." She let out a small noise in response, her breathing slightly picking up. I watched her reactions, as I slowly moved within her folds. Her visible shutters and jerks at each movement, until I found her most sensitive places.

"Ahh." She breathed out, looking at me with a full flush and embarrassment on her face. She quickly turned away when I met her gaze. "Go slowly." She muttered.

Her response made me question if she'd ever done this herself before. Her walls clenched around me as soon as I pushed inside, and as if they did not wish to let me go. The way she was subtly shaking her hips made me realize how much she was anticipating this. I began to pick up my pace, earning more light moans from my otherwise stoic woman. She tried her best to restrain herself, but the curling of her toes, and the biting on her lip gave away the pleasure she was feeling. I decided to pick it up a notch, pushing another finger inside.

"Ooh." She jerked at the spreading of her slit.

Her hands reached down, grabbing into me wherever she could. "W-Wilhelm." She gasped, nails practically digging into my skin. "Cease." She breathed out.

I stopped at her words, her eyes almost glazed over, little pants escaping her lips. "I am sufficiently prepared." She said shyly cheeks bright red. "Remove your garments."

I was willing to continue, but it seemed like she was ready for the real thing. I started to undo my buttons, but her hand suddenly shot up, grabbing my tie and pulling me down into a passionate kiss. It quickly evolved as her tongue met mine for the first time.

Her hands were not idle, grasping at the remainder of my buttons and forcibly pulling them apart. I didn't wish to break the kiss, so I quickly discarded my shirt, only for her hands to start roaming over my bare chest. I returned the favor, reaching out and gently caressing her breasts. It didn't take much for her to moan into my mouth, clearly unused to physical stimulation.

I rolled one of her her nipples between my fingers, giving her other breast a squeeze; a visible shutter ran through her body as she jolted in my grasp. Her own hands started to wander as well, one of them reaching between my legs to feel my member already standing up.

My hands only stopped to start undoing my belt, ever helpful she yanked my pants away without a second thought. As bashful as she was being, there was a certain ferocity in her motions.

"Are they all supposed to be this large?" She gaped, her hand running along my swollen member just as it was freed from my briefs.

I twitched in her grip, maybe it was from her touch, or the confidence boost she just gave me.

"Meridia." I whispered, her hand gently moving up and down, not too hard, but enough to have a jolt run through my body. She seemed to find the perfect pressure to elicit a response from me while also not being painful. If the small smirk on her face was anything to go by, she quite liked the reactions she was receiving.

After a few more moments she paused her movement, letting go and allowing herself to fully fall back. "Come to me, Wilhelm." She opened up, her legs spread and inviting. "Claim me as no one else has." Her arms wide open.

I didn't need to be told twice; I was already as hard as I could be. I leaned into her grasp, my cock lining up with her entrance. Her arms wrapped around me tight as I eased forward.

She made a small, pained noise as my tip pushed into her, but made no motions to stop. My member slowly continued forward, her wet walls clenching tight around my shaft at even the tiniest movement. I didn't push myself all the way in, instead pulling back and thrusting a little forward again, easing her into it.

The feeling was hard to describe, the pleasure was immense as if her insides coiled around me and refused to let go. I don't know if it was my devil nature, but the feelings were much more intense than I could recall in my last life.

Every movement was ecstasy, her moans only served to exuberate the pleasure. Her hands found comfort digging into my back, squeezing at each thrust. And with each movement I pushed deeper and deeper into her until finally, my cock was filling her to the brim.

Her soft moans turned into longer mewls, and she no longer attempted to hide them behind her normal façade. "Ahhh" She let out, voice filling the room, and head placed on my shoulder. "Hnn…..Haah." She was lost in the intimacy, her own hips seeking to meet each of my trusts. "Wilhelm, more." She called out.

"Meridia." I answered, our lips locking once again. Her tongue was attacked immediately as I entered her mouth swirling them together. I wasn't going to last long at this rate, my hands found her own, as if an unspoken agreement, they interlocked tightly.

"Wilhelm, I'm –" She gasped, her back arching, a silent sound released from her throat. I didn't stop my movements, continuing at the same pace as to help her ride out her first orgasm. Her walls clenched down on me tightly, the pressure increased enough that it was starting to push me over the edge.

Even when she almost went limp, eyes unfocused, she never stopped moving her hips. I let out a grunt, squeezing her hands as I too began to let it out, pushing my cock all the way inside her.

"Ahhhhh" She moaned as my seed filled her womb, my cock pulsing with each spurt of semen filling her deepest parts. I thrust several more times, finish off everything I had, making sure every ounce of it was all the way inside her, as if to mark it as mine.

Letting out a long breath, I fell forward, resting my head between her breasts.

"That was….." Meridia seemed to catch her breath, the sound of her heartbeat thumping in my ear. She paused as her hand ran along her own stomach and down between her legs where I was still fully sheathed inside her. "You are still erect."

"I am." I grinned.

Don't underestimate a devil, much less a draconic one.

"I wish to be on top this time." She stated.

It was going to be a long night, but I was more than happy about that.

**

Just some basic vanilla sex for their first time with an underlining hint of awkwardness about it. Just got done writing the second lewd between Jinn and MC over on pat.reon. Think it was a little better, had more time to practice and....research. But, well, practice makes perfect.

So, to talk about this Arc. My original intention was to finish up Skyrim in this arc, but i realized that's going to take far too long, so i'm going to work on finishing up this second round and perhaps do a full third arc at some point, or just have Mc drop in for a few chapters here or there until everything is finished up plot-wise.

Anyways, if you want to read 6 chapters ahead, visit my pat.reon.com/astoryforone.

Chapter 137: Chapter 130

Meridia POV

Sleep was not something I often partook in, seemingly always have matters that required my undivided attention. Even being able to partition myself off to handle most issues, the core of myself would be in slumber.

Even as I awoke, and these thoughts briefly drifted through my mind, I did not bother giving them any more heed. How I had, for the first time, truly skirted my duties. I did have capable individuals under me, worshippers who had been taken under my banner, even after death. But there were simply many things that required my presence to continue working.

Still, my attention was occupied by the person who shared the bed I was also sleeping in. Wilhelm, my....man, my lover.

The warm thought makes my heart beat faster, especially as I recall what had occurred the previous night….and much of the morning. We were still covered in a sticky mess, yet I was content, happy. The pleasant ache between my legs a vivid reminder of how we made love far into the early morning hours...and other perverse acts. I resisted the urge to pinch him, daring to use my thighs to pleasure himself...regardless of how it made my loins drip.

How utterly ridiculous...why he finds my legs so tantalizing, I do not understand.

This body of mine, as fake as it was, caused me sensations I had never contemplated before meeting this ridiculous man. I had created it eons ago, a whim as I wanted to understand mortals better. I spent many days decided how I wished to appear upon my followers, my faithful. It is of course a fully working fleshly body, even if I did not foresee partaking in carnal pleasures with another person, I do not do things by halves. This body is not me, but I may have come to think of myself as this body.

And never before has someone gazed upon this nude form of mine, and now a single person has that honor.

Hmph.

My ridiculous lover, he truly does not know how lucky he is. How many wish to earn even a second glance from yet… yet he will commit perversions upon me without any hesitation. For any other being in existence, I would have destroyed them. I can only swallow my indignation and take pity on him, allowing him his continued blasphemy. It is only out of my good will that he is allowed to molest me, to steal my lips at his whim, to accept his touch when he desires it. And I most certainly do not turn into a blushing maiden at his provocations, and I shall smite any who says otherwise.

His foolish smile certainly did not elicit any reaction from me, neither did the way he refused to allow me out of his embrace as he buried his face into my breasts. Nor did I tenderly run my hand down his – admittedly attractive – chest.

He stirred from his slumber, opening his eyes and giving me a bright smile, with a hint of his cockiness. That smug look on his face as he admired what he had done to me, even with his eyes half lidden.

"Ready for round two?" He asked, clearly intent on eliciting a response from me.

"Were you not satisfied from before?" I huffed in annoyance unable to escape his machinations.

"Gotta make babies." He mumbled pressing his head further into my bosom.

"Your seed still fills me, what more could you possible do?" I pursed my lips. This perverse man seeking any excuse to initiate further relations. I fear I have opened a dam and the torrent will no longer be plugged.

The matter of me unable to bear his children goes unsaid.

"Give me an hour and find out." He giggled, squeezing me tighter.

"As if you would last that long." I scoffed, hand running through his striking red hair, hearing his continued giggling into my breasts. "Wilhelm." I quietly called out.

"Don't wanna."

"You do not know what I'm going to say." I poked his forehead.

"You gotta go." He grumbled.

"….yes." I didn't deny, I guess it was an obvious conclusion to come to. "I have ignored many matters in my absence." It was….pleasant, knowing that I was not required to explain myself. My lover had an understand of what I was, what I did so while he would bemoan my leave, he knew I had important duties to attend to.

A small part of me was happy that he desired me to stay by his side so vehemently. I could only just sigh, I wondered what things would be like if I just threw my hands up and ceased my role. To live by his side, follow him on his adventures through various other universes. My strange man who comes from a distant light of creation.

"How long you gonna be gone?" His word not matching the usual eloquence he approaches with his speech, I'm sure he was still quite tired from our previous activities. As unique his origin was, I do not believe he would be unaffected by our time together.

"I do not know, perhaps a few days." I would make sure nothing significant occurred….and finish my tasks as quickly as possible.

"Fine." He stated. "Wanna take a shower before you go?"

"Shower?" I questioned, confused by what he asked.

"Running water that's heated up and sprayed down overhead for cleaning purposes." He explained.

"I am able to cleanse myself without mortal means." It would take me but a thought to remove all this filth....the only reason I have not done so yet is because I did not wish to disturb his content look. It was certainly not because I wished to enjoy the feeling of being so full for a few moments longer.

"It's one of life's greatest pleasures." He stated, making me pause inconsideration.

"A few more minutes will not make any substantial difference." I acquiesced, though the way I felt something poking into my belly, I think it may just take a little bit longer.

***

Wilhelm POV

I watched Meridia fluff her hair out. I guess I've never contemplated the idea of Meridia drying herself off after taking a shower, as strange as it was, and I just wanted to admire the scene.

Merida glared over in my direction, but the way she puffed up her cheeks in 'annoyance' cleared away any sense of true anger she might have. "I should knock that smug grin off your face." She huffed. "Tricking me into doing that…..in such a place." She grumbled.

"Oh, and who was refusing to let me go once we started?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Do not speak nonsense." She threw a pillow at me from across the room.

In the moments I caught the pillow and tossed it to the side, Meridia was already dressed as she had been before last night. I walked up wrapping my arms around her, even with her 'annoyance' she accepted quite readily. "If you need me for anything, I'm always here."

She looked at me quietly, a contemplative expression on her face. "I appreciate the gesture." She settled on, and I knew that was something along the lines of 'you will not be able to help'. I wasn't offended in the slightest, but I wanted her to know I was here for her if she really did need anything. "We need to have a discussion about certain things later, when I have more time."

"Is there something wrong….?"

"No…..it's just…..now you are in the sights of the other Lords, alteast of Molag Bal, I wish you to further understand." She said quietly. "And for some reason you still deem it appropriate to extend this relationship with a being known for his slavery and torture comes after you because of me." She snorted.

"I wonder if he'll be able to put two and two together based on what I said?" I may not have planned that out well.

"Molag Bal is many things…..stupid being among them. But he will come to certain conclusions rather quickly, even if the correct one is not the one he will first assume."

"Ah, he won't think you're my woman, but that I'm some kind of boy toy?" I chuckled.

"Must you say it in such a way?" She huffed. "I suggest you not venture near any of his claimed lands, or his worshippers. He will have more power among his followers than out here in the open. I do not recall any meaningful encampments in Skyrim beyond those vampires, so we should be safe from his meddling for the time being."

"I planned on either being with Thorum or the college for a bit." Truthfully, I felt kind of….off since the battle with Harkon. Replaying the fight in my head, how Rusty he appeared when truly fighting, it made me come to some conclusions myself.

"Good." She nodded. "I will keep an eye on Artoria and Rin."

"You're the best." I beamed at her.

"Hmph, I am merely keeping my new…..Harem Sister safe."

I blinked at her statement. "Did Jinn teach you that term?" It definitely sounds like something she'd say.

"Yes, Jinn has been helpful in understand different terminology you are used to."

Oh sweet Christ, what's Jinn telling her?

"Now, I must truly leave this time." She stated.

"Kiss?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes, but the smallest quirk of her lips betrayed her once again. She leaned in, for a quick kiss, merely a moment before we separated, but it relayed much affection.

"I'll miss you." I smiled.

"And I you." She returned, much of her embarrassment having faded since the first time we uttered those words. With one last nod, she made for the door, disappearing outside as to not blow through my defenses.

What a woman.

[Well done.]

"Oh, I forgot about you."

[And my feelings are now hurt.]

"Yeah, okay." I sighed. "What's up?"

[Nothing, just wanted to congratulate you. It's not every day a boy becomes a man.]

"Oh fuck off!"

[hehehe.] Ddraig practically giggled to himself.

"I forgot you're basically a voyeur. Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't hear you act up last night." I scoffed.

[Did you expect me to start giving commentary?] Ddraig laughed. [Or maybe some words of encouragement? Go Wilhelm, go! Show her the power of the Red Dragon Emperor, wooo!]

"Oh. My. God." I sighed.

[Nope, it's Ddraig]

"To give up the boosted gear, or not to give up the boosted gear." I tapped my chin.

[Oh, stop being a little bitch.] I think I felt Ddraig roll his eyes.

I grumbled, but ignored his comment. "Ddraig, I was thinking about some stuff, have I gotten complacent?"

[You mean, did you drive decrease?]

"Yeah….I mean, I'm happier than I've ever been in my life, and I feel….strong for lack of a better word. Did I just stop trying?"

[It's not weird for both Dragon's and Devils to be content where they are. Hell, even humans are often times fine with just coasting along with some success in life. If you were happy to stay as is, I wouldn't make a comment.]

I forget sometimes that Ddraig isn't here to hold my hand and carry me through life. He sees me as a partner, but my life is mine to live with all the mistakes that come with it. If I asked advice, he would give it, help me work through some things, sure. But my choices were always mine to make in the end, and he never encroached on that.

"I guess seeing Molag Bal and Harkon made me realize I can't keep sitting still I guess. I haven't been practicing my Aura as I should, I've just been using it as a shield. My Thu'um fell to the wayside, and I feel like there's still magic I could learn here."

[What are you going to do about it?]

"Go see the Archmage, maybe he has some high end stuff I haven't touched on. I also want his opinion on some stuff I nabbed from Harkon's castle. I guess I wouldn't mind donating a bit to the college as well, maybe keep their prices down since some of this dragon shit is my fault." I paused, running a hand through my hair. "I don't know how much talent I actually have in utilizing the Thu'um but it's an avenue I should pursue, seeing how it operates similarly to my Primordial Runes." The shout that Thorum used to move so quickly, that definitely caught my interest. "I need to push myself in training as well. I do my exercises, but I need to take this opportunity to really push my body when I have the chance. My potential hasn't been realized yet, my physical capabilities still are not at the peak of what a devil can achieve."

[Well said.]

I had another firm resolve in my chest. I wanted to continue to get stronger, to not become stagnant in my strength.

First off, let's go see the Archmage.

***

I actually didn't just use the Kaleidoscope to go right in. Instead used the entrance I procured for Jinn.

"Oh, hello Wilhelm." The Archmage greeted me, a strange contraption pointed at the door.

"Sup." I blinked at the thing he was tinkering with.

"Whatcha doin?" I asked.

"Not much, trying to figure out how this door operates. I've tried 17 different theories and all of them proved incorrect." He seemed giddy. "I have high hopes for this one."

Honestly, it sounds like he was having a lot of fun. With everything going on right now, I'm sure he can't really leave the college and probably feels cooped up. Well, I don't' really care he's not hurting anything and I trust this man. If he actually asked me for my secrets, I don't know if I would deny him.

"You seem in a chipper mood. How were the dragons?" He idly asked, continuing his tinkering.

"Not too strong. Thorum could have handled them without me, but it was interesting to see their application of the Thu'um. There was one shout that took me by surprised, targeting my vitality which was a noticeable hole in my defenses."

"Oh yes, I can imagine that." He rubbed his chin. "Not many take precautions against such esoteric effects. Those kinds of attacks are mostly used with blood mages, or their kin. If you ever come across a vampire, be sure they don't take your drain your vitality by surprise."

"Huh…"

"What?" He looked up at me.

"speaking of vampire…"

The Archmage paused, staring at me. "What did you do."

"Why do you automatically assume I did something!?"

"Wilhelm." His lips thinned. "There is a thing called a 'pattern'."

I opened my mouth then scoffed. "I hate that I can't argue with you."

"Indeed." He smirked. "Now, what happened?"

"Uh, ever heard of a vampire by the name of Harkon?"

"Why yes, I have heard of the strongest Vampire in Skyrim, whom I have personally had to return the head of a vampire to because he sought out something in my library by turning one of my students into a thrall." He deadpanned.

"Oh, well that makes things easier."

"Does it?" He asked, skeptically.

"He's dead, so you tell me."

The Archmage let out a long sigh, reaching his hand out and summon forth a bottle of mead, once again, downing it with vigor.

"That can't be healthy." I pointed out.

"Neither is your existence in my life, but here we are."

I couldn't help but laugh, one shared by him.

"I do hope you were not harmed." The Archmage stated.

"Nothing significant, even if Molag Bal showed up to lend him a hand." I had to stop myself from growling. "I was just a pawn to strike a blow at Meridia. I guess they saw me waiving Dawnbreaker around and put two and two together."

"Ah, yes. The conflicts between your paramour and the Lord of Rape are well documented." He didn't seem phased by what I said. "He should have been a master blood mage, I'm curious how the fight went."

"I won, but it felt like he let himself go, kinda rusty all around if I were to be honest."

"Well I won't say it's a 'shame' but I do so wish his magics were passed down to someone not so…."

"Arrogant, genocidal, stuck up, vampiric?" I offered.

"Quite." He pursed his lips.

"If it makes you feel better, I raided his castle of everything important, including his library."

"That does make me feel better." He perked up immediately. "I don't suppose you would be willing to share some of the tomes hoarded by that old vampire?'

"Sure, I was going to have Jinn sort everything, set up my own little library. Anything of importance I'm sure we could duplicate so the Library has some copies as well. Though, I wanted to make sure nothing too…..absurd is made readily available."

"Wilhelm, do you really think I allow free access to the most powerful and self-destructive spells allowed to beings of our caliber?"

"So you do have a hidden stash." I raised an eyebrow.

"Of course. It's not so hidden though, once a member of the college reaches a certain level...and maturity." He looked at me intently. "I allow them to peruse."

I held my hand out, gold literally began to flow out like water, filling the area between us into a large pile and continued to spill outwards.

The Archmage stared at me, then the gold and back at me again. "As I was saying, you are a highly valued member of our College –" We shared a look and started laughing again. "In seriousness, Wilhelm, you merely had to ask."

"I figured, but I also wanted to make a donation." I scratched my cheek. "I still feel kind of guilty and I hope you can maybe keep prices down a bit, maybe coordinate some help for the common folk who were affected?"

"Wilhelm….that is a very admirable thing to do." His eyes softened. "I would be delighted to ensure this happens. I still have many contact outside of Skyrim, it may take a few days, but I believe I can bring some fresh supplies inbound to Skyrim even with their absurd costs right now."

"Yeah, yeah." I definitely didn't preen under his praise. "So, about those spells you keep locked away?" I grinned.

Oh boy this week has been kicking my butt. First half I was bogged down with Work, and now I have a family member in the ER. Everything is fine, but there was a lot of stress and time I spent dealing with all of that, so this chapter came out a bit late.

Anyways, if you want to read 6 chapters ahead or support me, visit my pat.reon.com/astoryforone
