Chapitre 102: Paarthurnax!
[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."

Chapitre 103: A Jull In Distress! A Town In Need!
[Jull's POV]
Jon! Hey Jon!
Why is not he replying?
He told me he would bring me to see the master of the Greybeards! He never said anything about a dragon.
A real dragon!
A living real dragon?
A dragon! Real?
I mean… Jon always told me there will be dragons and they will appear in the world.
I believe what Jon says even if it was lies. I know that he is the only family I have and I have to put my faith in him.
Did I not believe him?
I mean, I know I believe him!
But with a dragon?
I feel like my faith is being tested.
He knows many things! He is always amazing and shining! He even knows where to find a dragon!
That is just too much!
He is not even nervous! He is so natural in front of the dragon and is talking to him, he was not even afraid at all and checked the dragon's body.
What is going on?
When I look at the dragon, I feel… I feel so, so insignificant. The aura, the magic, the power!
I feel like I can't even be worth considering in front of such a being.
Even Nefertiti is frozen! No one is moving in front of that majestic being.
Yet, Jon! Is he laughing with the dragon?
I can see that face that he has. He seemed that he was longing for this meeting. His happiness is barely contained within him.
Can Jon be this comfortable towards dragons?
Are dragons that easy going?
I read in Jon's books that dragons are beings created for domination. How can Jon be standing face to face in front of one with this happiness on his face?
He doesn't seem to be pressured by the dragons at all. I, on the other hand, didn't even move. Not even once! I was frozen in place from the very beginning.
I look at Jon and all I can see is his big and broad back! He was standing there, tall and strong. Nothing I would be able to catch up to.
I looked at myself and felt weak!
Can I even stand behind him? Can I support him and be his strength? Can I be of any use?
Why is he so close to me yet so far, far away?
I thought I grew stronger! I thought I became equal to him. I thought he can be mine no one else gets to share him with me.
I was an idiot! This world can't even stop him when he wants something.
Can I endure his fate? Can I follow him on his path?
Can my insignificance be of even useful to move a straw away from hindering him?
What am I thinking?
Should I just turn and leave?
He won't stop me if I wanted to quit here.
I feel it. I can't move forward from this point. I can't even muster my voice to call for him. But, but when I tried to step back just now, my body obeyed me.
I get it! I get it now!
Beyond this point is a step that only gods can walk.
No way!
Is this how my life is supposed to be?
Is it like this? For all those who I love dearly to move forward and I get stuck?
Mother! What should I do?
He is too hard to reach. This is beyond me.
I turned around and took a step away!
First step! My eyes are wet even in the coldest place in the world.
Second step! I can already feel that my tears are everywhere on my face.
Third step! It became easier to cry, easier to walk away!
I give u…
"WAIT, YOU IDIOT!"
Huh!
Someone called!
Who is that?
Where am I?
"DON'T GO!"
Who is it?
Why is it so dark in here?
I was standing there just now, with Jon and the dragon.
"I don't know this place! Why is it dark? Where am I?" My mind spoke itself.
"You don't know?" A voice replied. "You don't know, yet you are the one who made this place!"
"You? Who? It can't be!"
"So you realize what have you done?"
"No! Impossible?"
"You just let your friends down, and drive away the people who care for you."
"You shouldn't be here!"
"Yes, we shouldn't! Yet, Here we are."
"Tell me! Was it fun? Killing me?"
"Was it fun leaving me to die?"
"Was it fun letting everyone down?"
"And now you are leaving him? You just don't change, don't you?"
"No, mother you don't understand, I was…"
"We understand! We understand very well. You just make friends when it suits you then move on when it is hard. When they need you!"
"GO AWAY! I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO DIE, STABRIOUS!"
"THEN WHY DO YOU FOLLOW THE ONE WHO KILLED ME?"
"STOP! I DON'T WANT TO TALK WITH ANYONE!"
Huff! Huff!
I shouted and they all went away!
Mother, I am sorry!
Stabriuos too! I know we went after Jon together but your death was not something I would forgive. Jon only protected himself from us. I feel guilty to run away! I can't forgive myself, friend!
I feel so guilty!
*sob* *sob*
Who is that? Someone is crying!
I looked around!
The place was still black but I could feel someone around.
I walked to the voice!
"Hey! Kiddo, do you know where is this?"
I found a small girl crying while sitting on the ground.
"You want to go! Like everyone else! But *sob* but I won't go! You weak! *sob* Coward!"
The girl was crying and felt a bit broken! It made me feel overwhelmingly sad.
Ah! I remembered!
"You! You were the one who called for me! You said 'wait, you idiot!'."
The girl's weeping stopped and looked at me.
I saw her face and my body all tensed up. She, she is…
The bloody scar on her left eye, the light grey skin, the black hair, the tattered dress!
She is…
Me!
"Yes! You are an idiot!"
"I…"
"You left everyone! You are a coward! An idiot! Unfaithful! Untrustworthy!"
"Bu…"
"What about all we have been through? All the suffering? All the songs? All the pain? All the fight? To what end? So you can bury your head in the dirt and turn away? You forgot what it all means."
"I am no…"
"It all led us there! On that mountain! And you became like a rat! He took us and cared for us yet that's how you treat him! This is our place! WAKE UP!"
No! What I didn't want to go! I was…
"Afraid! You know you can't measure up to him! You know there is no way you can become his and he becomes yours alone, so you just became afraid. Like the coward you are."
No… Yes!
"... I am afraid!"
"Because you are an idiot!"
"No! I am not an idiot! I love him. Like nothing I ever loved before, I love him! I worship him! He is my everything. I can't stand beside him and I can't be his strength if I an idiot. I was never an idiot and I will never be!"
"You are not powerful enough, you can't…"
"And what's with that, huh? What's with it, tell me! I am afraid, yes. His path is too hard to follow, yes. He is not afraid of going any length ahead, yes. But I am not a coward."
"You think your false bravery will fool me, I am you!"
"I know who the fuck you are and I said I am so fuckin afraid, dammit! But I am not a coward! I AM ME! I WILL KILL IN THE NAME OF FUN AND THE ONE I LOVE, SO GO AWAY! I WILL BE AFRAID AND MOVE AHEAD, WHAT'S WITH IT? GO AWAY!"
HWAAAAH!
Huff! Huff!
That is right!
Whatever it is! I am not a coward.
"Huh?"
What is going on?
Too much light!
What is happening there?
Why did this young me turn into a light thing?
It's too bright!
And blue, huh!
"Blue?"
"Oh! Rise and shine, sweetheart! It's almost sunset here."
Blue sky above, and Jon, and Nefertiti, and a dragon.
"By any chance! Am I the first person ever to be awoken by a human, a cat, and a dragon, all at the same time?" I somewhat got the urge to ask that question.
"Ah! Yes, how envious! You've beaten me to it." Jon said as if he remembered something.
Hehe! He is still acting dumb around a dragon. I don't think there will be anyone who can do it like though.
What is that smell?
"Something smells charred?"
"Oh! About that. His fault!" Jon pointed towards the dragon.
Eh! What happened?
"Dragon said myou small and meow old. Dragon said FAH and burn mountain! Everything smells."
For some reason, the idiot cat is saying something so strange.
"Jon?"
"Oh! About that. It happened a few minutes ago."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Jon's POV, a few minutes ago]
"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." I said to Paarthurnax.
"Hmmm! Drem. Patience. There are formalities which must be observed, at the first meeting of two of the dov." Paarthurnax said and turned his head away to half rounded rock. "By long tradition, the elder speaks first. Hear my Thu'um! Feel it in your bones. Match it, if you are Dovahkiin!"
Paarthurnax then opened his mouth and shouted one mighty shout. "Yol...Toor...Shul!"
A strong stream of fire accompanied these words as Paarthurnax said them and a True Dragon Fire Breath fell on the rounded rock.
Once he finished his fire breath he looked towards me and said, "The word calls you! Go for it."
I obeyed what he said and approached the wall. There were some draconic runes left by the breath. I just noticed how the word was spoken and performed so I could see it clearly. I understood it once my eyes fell on it.
It was 'Yol' and it meant 'Fire'. I was still far from comprehending the world though.
"A gift! Dovahkiin. Yol. Understand Fire as the dov do." Paarthurnax said and a stream of energy came from him towards me.
"Woah!"
This is…
I understand the word!
I comprehended it!
No! Paarthurnax gave me a part of his knowledge about fire!
It… It is so deep.
No words can describe that!
Paarthurnax seemed a bit amused and called for me, "Now, show me what you can do. Greet me not as mortal, but as dovah!"
Fine! You asked for it.
"Ehem! YOL!"
Unlike the fire breath that Paarthurnax performed. Mine is… let's just not mention it.
It was way too embarrassing.
A force of fire just was formed with my word and flew towards, Paarthurnax!"
"Aaah... yes! Sossedov los mul." Paarthurnax spoke very loudly as if life has returned to him. "The Dragonblood runs strong in you. It is long since I had the pleasure of speech with one of my own kind."
I smiled!
"I am more pleasured to finally meet you, Dovah Do Onikaan!" I replied to him the way dragons speak. Of course, I was a bit embarrassed.
"So. You have made your way here, to me. No easy task for a joor... mortal. Even for one of Dovah Sos. Dragonblood. What would you ask of me?"
"I came here seeking the 'Vozahlaas Od', the Unmelting Snow! I intend to fix this White Phial"
"Nii fraan malmindok, I felt it familiar to the place, as this is the most sacred mountain in Skyrim. Zok revak strunmah. The great mountain of the world. You can take what you came for, but you can't dally here! By the time you take the way down, your fahdon, your friend will face a grave danger. You need to return to gevild avok lom."
A friend? In danger? And a he?
'Gevild avok lom' should mean the 'castle above water'.
"Winterhold? Wulfur?"
"Bo Dovahkiin, Nii los ni do gut wah hi." (It is not too late!)
"Kogaan (Thanks), Paarthurnax! Eh… Jull!"

Yep! Some of the lines were straight from the game. Some I made them up! Paarthurnax is just too cool to try and speak like him. I admit it, every Paarthurnax line I read it in his voice! What about you?
