The Dragoon In Skyrim

Chapter 220 - Liara T'Soni

The Normandy was flying towards the next Human Colony to take the researchers to safety since they had a mission to fulfill while Vincent was holding a wooden staff in his hand training his skills while the children were watching him.

"Aren't you going a step back by not using firearms?" asks Ishly as she knew that everyone uses Firearms to fight.

"We also use firearms but most of the people in the Empire rather rely on their strength than on a firearm. Once we are back on Nirn you will understand it," says Mina as she was looking over the children at the moment.

"What about Magic? Many people must be mages right," says Provus excited as he could already create a Candlelight.

"Not really most are Warriors or Rogues followed by Mages and at last our Gunslingers," says Mina telling them about it.

Vincent finished his practice when he joins the children as they went to eat when they sat down and Garrus joins them.

"What was that Lightning Energy you released from your body?" asks Garrus to Vincent who was eating his food.

"That was Arc Energy. It can be used in many ways but the best way would be to enhance your speed to strike and move faster. Not many people in the Empire can use the Guardian's Ability since they need to be chosen by a Ghost," says Vincent as Vigilance appears.

"Yeah, just that I never chose Vincent but was granted to him by the Traveler," says Vigilance as he floated around Garrus.

"Also most Guardians used to be dead before they became Guardians," says Vincent adding some information for Garrus.

"So those Guardians can only use those abilities?" asks Garrus as Vincent nods.

"Yes, but they are one of the special units of the Empire," says Vincent as Garrus was curious about those units.

"There are the Dragoons, Berserkers, Monks, Crownguards, and Guardians. Berserkers, Monks, and Guardians are the most recent created in the Empire while Dragoons and Crownguards existed for the longest beside a secret organization controlled by the First Emperor," says Vincent as Garrus was looking at Vincent confused.

"Secret Organisation?" asks Garrus as Vincent nods.

"Nobody knows the name of the Organisation except for the people in it. They have spies everywhere gathering information of everything that is happening and if something is a danger to the Empire they can eliminate the said threat," says Vincent as Garrus felt shivers pass down his spine.

"Don't scare him that much. They can't just remove the threat. They need to inform the Emperor before removing it. It's another thing if they have crucial information. Then they are brought back alive and tortured until they have everything. After that they get killed if they are lucky," says Karliah which made Garrus more fearful of this organization while the children seemed to not hear them speak.

"What could be worse than dying?" asks Garrus when Serana walked towards Vincent and she rams her Fangs on the weakest part of Vincent's body.

She was s.u.c.k.i.n.g the blood out of Vincent's body until she was full before she turns to Garrus and says, "They become blood bags for the Vampires until they die from old age."

"You are a Vampire," says Garrus as Serana couldn't deny that with the corner of her lips full of Vincent's blood.

"She is and all the Earthling Legends aren't completely true. Vampires can walk under the sun but they just get weaker and not burn into ashes," says Vincent as Garrus began to eat while glaring at Serana.

"Don't worry, I won't bite anyone else except for Vincent. After drinking his blood for so long everyone's else blood tastes like shit," says Serana as she sat down beside the children and removed the barrier around them.

"Now let's talk about other things since the children are listening again," says Vincent as he looked at Garrus to talk about more Family Friendly matters.

"Let's just eat then," says Garrus as he just wanted to finish his meal and leave the table.

He was a bit envious of Provus who was eating the tasty human food while he had to eat his brew of Dextro Food.

They were about to leave the canteen when the Asari they saved on Therum walked towards them. She seemed nervous about something as she approached.

Ishly was glaring at the Asari as she didn't trust anyone of her own race after being thrown out by her mother for not having any biotic ability. The Asari seems to notice the glaring of Ishly as she approaches.

"How about you all go down, while I and Anra talk to her," says Vincent as Anra joined his side while the others went down.

"I am sorry to bother you, Mister Highwind. I wanted to thank you for saving me," says the Asari as Vincent scratched his cheek.

"Well, it was me who poisoned you. I had to take responsibility for that, Miss... what was the name again," says Vincent as he forgot the name of the Asari.

"Liara T'Soni, that is my name," says Liara as she stretches her hand out towards him.

"Vincent Highwind, but you can call me Vincent like everyone else on this ship," says Vincent as he shakes her hand.

"Anra Oakstone, I am his crew doctor," says Anra as they were still keeping the appearance of being crew members until they tell everyone who they are.

"Nice to meet you," says Liara as she seemed now more excited than nervous when she continues, "Could you tell me more about your society. I heard from Dr. Chakwas that your homeworld is made up of more than one race which is quite interesting since every other society is made out of only one race."

"I think you just met the ideal woman to teach you in this matter. Anra used to be a teacher before she became my crew medic," says Vincent as he looked at Anra.

"I could do that but how about we make it a trade. I teach you about our community and you teach me about yours. What do you say?" says Anra as Liara's eyes were sparkling in excitement?

"Of course, let me just grab my notepad and we can start right away," says Liara as she ran towards the medbay.

"It seems I won't be needed for a while," says Vincent as he touched the button to call the lift when he turns to the other side and says, "How about you tell me what you want Commander?"

"We will talk in my Quarter," says Titania as she entered the lift first when Vincent turns to Anra.

"I will see you all later. If I don't return alive don't burn the ship down," says Vincent which made Anra smile as she almost laughs at the bad joke Vincent just told because of Titania's expression.

"As if something could ever happen to you with your shadow by your side," says Anra as Vincent entered the lift and they took off toward Titania's Quarter.

"So what do you want to talk about?" asks Vincent as he looked at the lift's door.

"I want to discuss that in a place I know the Alliance can't hear us," says Titania as Vincent closes his eyes.

The lift arrived at Titania's Quarter and they leave the lift. They walk towards her Quarter and entered it when Vincent takes everything in.

"You have a nice place you can call your own," says Vincent as he walked towards the couch and sits down.

"It belonged to Anderson. I usually slept in the crew's quarters before I received this one," says Titania as she sits down on her seat.

"So what do you want to ask me?" asks Vincent as he looked at Titania.

"I heard from Tristan that you can make the impossible possible going by the history that is recorded by the Empire. I want to k-," says Titania when Vincent stops her right there.

"Now stop for a moment. I am not some Cosmic Being that can make the impossible possible. I had many people on my side who helped me fulfill those impossible feats," says Vincent as he takes out an old pocket watch he bought on Nirn.

He threw it over to Titania as she opens it and she sees a picture of people sitting with Vincent around a table. Some had armor on while others had some fancy clothes on while one seemed to be almost n.a.k.e.d holding a hammer.

"Those people and my family I am grateful for helping me in those difficult times to fulfill those impossible tasks. Most of them are under the dead enjoying Sovngarde or their own version of Heaven," says Vincent as he named every person in the picture beginning with Eorlund and ending with Wuldimar the Strong.

"Everyone is born a hero it is just difficult to follow the right path and suffer to become a Legend that will be remembered for all eternity. Many don't make it but those that do are the greatest of them all," says Vincent when he takes the watch back and his eyes were warm.

Titania could see that Vincent missed the people in the picture when Vincent asks, "You saw the statue of the Crownguard in the Palace District right?"

"Yes, but I don't know what he did or who he was?" asks Titania as Vincent smiles.

"That is the first Crownguard that lost his life protecting his Emperor and younger brother, Hroar Highwind. He was named after a Lion's roar because the day he was born a Lion roared in the distance. I adopted him because he had the potential to become someone great," says Vincent as he summoned a jar of cold ale in his hand.

"He jumped right in front of his brother holding only his ax against Mehrunes Dagon. He became a Legend that day for everyone as they all couldn't move but he roared into the sky as if he was a Nord and ran into the blade of Dagon saving his brother when I arrived and send Dagon back from where he came," says Vincent as he was still feeling resentment for not being there earlier.

He sighs as he looks at Titania and says, "What I want to say is that not a single person can make the impossible possible. It needs a group of people that you can trust completely. You need to have their back and they need to have yours. If you can't do that you will only fail in the end."

"What do think I should do?" asks Titania as Vincent closer his eyes and began to think when he remembers something he hasn't heard in a long time.

"Hear, Feel, Think," says Vincent with a smile as Titania looked at him confused.

"A friend of mine that has fulfilled even more impossible feats that I have said that to me once. He said that those are the first words a Warrior of Light hears when he is chosen to become one," says Vincent as Titania looked at him curiously.

"What do they mean?" asks Titania as Vincent opens his eyes which were brighter than before.

"It comes to your understanding of those words. For me, it is the Heart. You can hear, feel and think about it but in the end, your heart tells you what is right or wrong.

I have done many atrocities in my life but I could make peace with them because they all had one goal in mind which was to end the war as fast as possible even the burning of Halamshiral," says Vincent thinking Titania knew about it only to get a confused look from her.

"Just forget the last part and concentrated on listening to your heart. It will guide you and if you are about to make something that your heart tells you not to do make your peace with that decision because once you took it you won't be able to take it back," says Vincent giving Titania advice about how he managed to solve his problem back at home.

"Even as a ruler you listened to your heart?" asks Titania not completely believing that as Vincent smiled.

"Even more than you think. I was reckless and someone that hated authority. Back then I ran away every time I could get away from my duties as Emperor that was until Hroar died while I was away. On that day everything changed and everyone knew why I never left the Palace except on some fixed days," says Vincent as he turned to Titania.

"But I must be boring you with my life story so let me be off," says Vincent as he finished his drink and the jar disappears.

He stands up and says, "Just win the trust of your crew members and you will see that you will be able to achieve the impossible."

Vincent then left Titania's Quarters when he presses the button to calm the lift. Once the lift arrives Tristan comes out of it and Vincent smiles at him before entering the lift while Tristan left it.
