chapter 2

No one pov.

Somewhere in oblivion.

"So do ya think we should give this favorable mortal a boon?" A man in 2 suits stitched together asked looking down at a strange portal. In yhe portal it showed James, Lucien, Inigo, and sweet roll.

"That is a good question Sheogorath." A loud voice boomed as said Daedra looked back to see a golden dragon laying behind him. "Shall we give my child a new purpose?"

"Oh their ya go with the whole nonsense of purpose again Akostosh. Let the mortal choose chaos and confusion. It's a much betta story."  Sheogorath cried as he walked over to a long table filled with cheese.

"And what boon would you give them demon?" Akostosh asked as Sheogorath stroked his beard.

"How about THE INFINITE CHEESE WHEEL!" He pulled out a large cheese wheel taking a bite of it only to have that bite be replaced by a different type of cheese. Akostosh let out a chuckle that boomed the hall.

"As funny as it is I had a better idea. One that even you would approve of." Akostosh suggested waving his hand opening another portal showing a different landscape.

"Oh and where's that exactly?" Sheogorath asked looking in to see demonic creatures swarming a battlefield as men and dogs charged against it.

"It was a world made by my brother before he went to sleep along time ago." Akostosh said as the 2 watched the battle. "And they are in desperate need of some heroes."

"So I'm still not exactly chomping at this idea. Why?" Sheogorath asked skeptical.

"We send my child and his friends there without telling them anything leaving them in chaos and confusion yet he gets to be a hero again." Akostosh stated with what any dragon could see as a smile. Sheogorath thought he was bearing his teeth.

"So I get to watch the chaos of them in a new world and you get to give the mortal his wish in a twisted way?" Sheogorath asked as he then smacked his knee. "Well why didn't ya say so you flying lizard. Let's send them too..... what's it called?"

"Thedas."

"Too Thedas!" The mad God cried before looking at his cheese wheel. "I guess another mortal will enjoy my boon."

"Send it too them anyway." Akostosh suggested. "Now to bring them to their new purpose." He flicked his hand again.

With the dragonborn.

"We are not lost!" James shouted back at his friends. "Lost implies you don't know which why your destination is. We never had a destination to begin with."

"Lucien he is technically right." Inigo stated as they stopped their tracks. "Let us stop for the night my friends."

"I think that's an excellent idea Inigo." Lucien said as James started to sniff the air.

"Somethings wrong." James stated as he looked around.

"Whats wrong?" Inigo asked.

"Ever since I came back from Sovngarde I've had an ability to smell magic being casted. And right now alot of magic is being directed at us. Yet I can't tell from who or where." James pulled out his shield and sword as the others followed suit. "Can you feel it Lucien?"

"Yes I can. It feels ancient like Daedric yet pure." Lucien said as he pulled up fire spells.

"Do you know what kind?" Inigo asked aiming his bow.

"No just the feel of what might be causing it." James says as sweet roll hid between his legs. He looked down just as a vortex opened beneath each of them respectively.

Lucien pov.

Have you ever fallen unsure of how far you'll drop only to fall for 5 seconds or so? It's not fun. Especially when you appear somewhere you don't recognize. I felt my breathe leave me as we landed on the ground. "Everyone okay?" I heard James ask as I wheezed out a yes.

"I am okay my friend though Lucien is not." Inigo stated as I saw sweet roll approach me and lick my cheek.

"Come on man breathe. You're just a bit winded." James said rolling me on my side and patting my back. I took in a deep breathe and coughed heavily.

"All in favor of never doing that again?" I ask as everyone laughs a bit. "So where are we i don't recognize it at all." I look around seeing a long white brick wall to our right and an open field to our left with a fence.

"Looks like Cyrodil. Only.... it's not." James noted as he looked around.

"Which daedra do you think set this up?" Inigo asks as I study the brick wall.

"Sheogorath." James stated and I looked over to see him holding a cheese wheel.

"How do- oh." Inigo flat Oh just stopped before we heard grunting and groaning. We looked over to see monsters that would rival the daedra demons.

"Oh and here I thought we wouldn't see any action." James stated with a smile pulling out his sword as Inigo drew his bow. I felt my hands heat up like I was gripping a nice hot mug of chocolate like my mother made back in the capital.

James pov.

I smirked seeing the monsters advance. One held a sword and shield while the other 2 held 2 daggers and a staff. I rushed forward bashing my shield against the warrior one who let out a growl like a wolf. An arrow flew past my face lodging itself in the forehead of the one with 2 daggers. I ducked under a sideways slash before slashing his legs with my own sword. He fell to one knee as I rose up plunging my sword into his chest. I looked over to see a fire ball fly into the last one. I smirk seeing him explode and turn to see my friends staring at a group of 4. Sweet roll poked his head out from behind Luciens legs staring at the other groups dog. Looked like a beefed up hound. One was a guy who had blonde hair and looked confused. Another was also a guy with black short hair and a plain look on his face and held the aura of a leader. The last was a woman dressed slightly in rages and carried a twisted stick stand that gave off a scent of burnt wood.

"Well this isn't awkward at all." Inigo said as the blonde looked more taken back.

"Is that a giant talking cat?" He asked as I stifle a laugh.

"How dare you?! I am a khaji!" Inigo informed him.

"Right and I'm supposed go know what that is. Who are you people?" He continued asking as I raised an eyebrow.

"I'm James the Dragonborn. This is Lucien the Scholar and my cat friend is Inigo the blue khaji." I introduce us as their silent leader steps forward. "The fox is Sweet roll."

"Whats a Dragonborn?" His voice sounds very charming.

"A mortal with the soul of a dragon." Lucien explained. "He's like tge most famous person ever. He killed Aulduin."

"I'm sorry did you say Aulduin?" The woman asked.

"I'm sorry are they saying something you know about morrigan?" The blonde asked.

"Aulduin was an ancient dragon that appeared in Thedas a long time ago. He spoke in an ancient tongue cursing a Nordic people and someone named-" morrigan began as we listened.

"Paarthurnax." I interrupted.

"I remember reading about that. Many thought a second blight had begun." Morrigan explained further.

"Yeah he was a bitch to kill but I did it." I chuckled.

"You killed a dragon?" The leader asked very skeptical.

"Not alone. He had my help." Inigo spoke up.

"Right...." the blonde said.

"So who are you?" Lucien asked popping into the conversation.

"I'm Vigo Cousland." Their leader started. "This is Morrigan and Allistar. The Mabari hound is Barkspawn."

"I'm sorry but I have to ask which one of you is mage it's hard to tell." Allistar asked as I took off my helmet.

"Uh all of us use magic I guess but Lucien is the better one here." I shrugged as they look between themselves.

"I'm sorry but which circle showed all 3 of you how to use magic?" Allistar questioned more. I saw Sweet roll sniffing Barkspawn.

"I've never heard of a shape teaching magic." Lucien pointed out.

"Uh I mean I trained at the college of winterhold but i didn't really get a chance to learn all that well.

"Wait you're apostates?" Allistar asked being taken back.

"Apasta? What's that?" Inigo asked.

"People who use magic outside of circles. Illegal mages." Vigo explained.

"Oh.... well we weren't taught by any circles so I guess so." Lucien estimated. "At least by your logic."

"Great just more of what we need." Allistar muttered very quietly.

"And why is that a problem?" I asked loudly as I stared at him.

"I'm sorry did I say something that offended you?" Allistar asked startled.

"I heard what you muttered under your breath." I state as he gulps.

"Sorry it's been a rough day." He sighed looking down.

"It's cool so mind if we tag with you for a bit. We have no idea where we are and well it might be beneficial for us to get to know one another." I recommend as they all talk amongst themselves. I easily overheard them but was being polite ignoring them.

"Very well. We're going to Loathing. Then from there who knows." Vigo stated as I saw sweet roll playing with Barkspawn.

"Looks like our friends are getting along." I state as I watch Vigo smile. "Welp lead the way."
