The Dragoon In Skyrim

Chapter 235 - Dining Together

Soon Provus and Ishly returned from their sparring and find Vincent sitting at the table with the others as they were talking when Ishly rushed at Vincent only to suddenly jump at him feet first.

She wanted to dropkick Vincent only to find herself stuck in mid-air as Vincent smiles at her while saying, "This trick is getting old, Ishly. It is time to improve if you want to surprise me."​​

"Why were you late? You promised to be here for our sparrings," says Ishly as Vincent made her float to an empty seat before sitting her down.

"I arrived some minutes late when Mina told me that we had guests. I had to entertain them with your mother while the others are outside," says Vincent as Provus was more understanding of the situation.

Provus had long left his childishness behind when he learned from Vincent what it meant to be a Dark Knight.

Dark Knight was the only job Vincent could teach anyone without having them to manipulated Magicka in a special way since they get their strength from the Abyss.

Vincent took Provus to the Abyss half a year ago after he mastered the basics and he was sure he wouldn't be consumed by the Abyss like other Dark Knights that didn't succeed in controlling their Darkness.

"Provus has m.a.t.u.r.ed a lot since the last time we saw him," says Liara as Vincent smiles at her sadly knowing the reason behind it.

"He had to grow up earlier since he is a Dark Knight," says Vincent as Provus nods in agreement before Ishly interferes.

"He just became more boring. I wish the old Provus to come back," says Ishly as that wasn't possible.

"Ishly everyone loses childishness sooner or later. Maybe I need to train you like I trained your older sister before she became a full-fledged Monk," says Vincent as he was going easy on Ishly because of her childishness.

"You mean the Queen of Fists," says Ishly as that was Yennee's nickname.

"Yes, she destroyed boulders bigger than this house by the age of seven. She was a genius when it comes to close-quarter combat. Once she is too close no one is her opponent," says Vincent remembering how she defeated poor Orug when she was only ten because he left his guard down thinking his cute little sister wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"That is what you are always telling me," says Ishly as Provus sighs.

"What he is saying is that you should take everything more seriously. Everyone takes sparring seriously while you see it as fun that's why most don't want to spar with you any longer," says Provus telling her the cold truth about the situation when they go to the sparring sessions.

"*sighs* Sometimes I think I spoiled you too much because of your origin but I think that I will have to give you over to your oldest sister. She will be able to strengthen you out in less than a month," says Vincent since both came from the same origin.

"Wait, I will live with Lucia, the Gryphon Rider," says Ishly looking more excited than horrified by it.

"Yes, she will be able to change your mind on how you are living at the moment," says Vincent as he knew that Asari were more childish than other races since they have a long life that they don't begin to take life seriously until they are at least fifty years old some take even longer.

"Ahm Vincent," says Liara wanting to inform Vincent about that when Vincent looks at her.

"I know, but in this family, you need to grow up before you hit twenty. She can still be childish but she should be able to take other things seriously while having her childish attitude," says Vincent to Liara as he didn't want her to interfere in his family's matters.

Soon Serana and Ellana joined them as they came out of the Library when Mina walks into the kitchen since the food should be ready.

"You know that Ishly won't straighten up just because she lives with Lucia. I think she should live in High Hrothgar for a month as you did with Ciri. It should make her stronger and more serious since she has to adapt to her new environment," says Serana hearing that Vincent wanted to send Ishly to Lucia.

"Isn't High Hrothgar a bit more of a punishment?" asks Vincent as Anra came out of the bas.e.m.e.nt.

"I think that would be a great idea," says Anra as she heard them as well.

"You heard the woman," says Mina as she returns with the filled turkeys.

"Beginning tomorrow Ishly will have to survive in High Hrothgar for a month and you will accompany her," says Mina as they told Vincent that Asari Children needed to be spoiled differently so they lose earlier their childish phase.

The dishes appeared on the table out of nowhere when Tali sees the other three join them and asks, "And the others? Didn't you say they would join us?"

"Yennefer and Ciri are visiting their children. Karliah is right now in Castle Volkihar looking into an important matter, Kirvena is in Akavir visiting her family there while Mako won't join is since she is in Akavir as well. And Azura is in Oblivion," says Mina knowing where everyone was at the moment.

"Well, it is normal to visit the family if they aren't able to visit us because of their duties," says Vincent as they begin to give a small prayer to the Nine before he continued with his Thirteen before Mina handed him the knife and fork to cut the turkeys.

"Who are the other Thirteen Gods you mentioned in your prayer? I memorized the Nine since it was one thing that the Empire wanted from us Quarians but they never mentioned the other Thirteen," says Tali as she was curious when Vincent was praying to unknown Gods.

"They are only prayed to by people of the Highwind family since they are the Gods that reside in my homeworld," says Vincent as they were waiting for him to cut the turkeys

"So you aren't a native of Nirn going by what you said," says Tali as Vincent nods.

"I was brought here with a duty to slay my oldest brother. That was my duty but in the end, I became the Dragonking and High-King before I became Emperor," says Vincent as he cut the turkeys and served them.

"So you never wanted to become Emperor?" asks Liara as it would help her research.

"That is hard to answer. It was almost like I was guided to become Emperor by an invisible hand but in the end, it was my decision to end the chaos and bring peace," says Vincent as he didn't want to tell them about the cursed book nor about the amulet he was wearing around his neck.

"But I must say that I did the best I could before handing over the position to my son," says Vincent as he began to eat.

"We can see that you really care about your Empire," says Tali as he dealt rapidly with the situation she was in because it could repeat itself building more rotten apples.

"But many are thinking that the Empire will be soon going to war is that true?" asks Liara as Vincent nods.

"Yes, we will be going to war against the Reapers and the Taken King. Once they are dealt with we will ask the other races to join us or we will continue with the war since our people are already prepared for war," says Vincent as he didn't change his personality while talking since he wouldn't be in charge.

"But let us eat we can talk about all this later," says Vincent as they are before continuing talking about this matter.

The next day Vincent brought the two to Kvatch before going to High Hrothgar with Ishly. She was surprised at first since they were on top of the Throat of the World.

"This is where you have brought us before," says Ishly remembering that Vincent was holding her hand while the snow was hitting her face because of the wind.

"Let's go down to High Hrothgar," says Vincent guiding her down when she soon found out that her phone didn't have coverage and its battery was low.

"Uhm, Dad, my phone is about to die and I can't call anyone since we are in a dead zone," says Ishly as Vincent turned to her and sighs.

"That is the point of you surviving here for a month," says Vincent as they arrived at High Hrothgar when Ishly realized that she will be living like people thousands of years ago.

"You will be hunting and cooking your own food for one month while I will be watching you for a month. This should be able to see life seriously. We all are allowed to be childish but you need to know when to leave it at home and be serious about something," says Vincent as they entered High Hrothgar which was full of dust.

"You will have to clean the place as well since you will be living here for a month as did your mother Ciri," says Vincent as they walked towards where the stone beds were finding some Frostbite Spiders inside High Hrothgar which they killed.

"This will be where you will be sleeping," says Vincent as Ishly was protesting since that wasn't a bed but a rock in form of a bed.

"I survived to sleep on them. You can do the same," says Vincent as Ishly stared at him before he says, "I am doing this for your own good. Soon war will break out and I don't want you to die."

They went back to the entrance hall and Vincent says, "I will be watching over you so you don't die but don't expect me to help you if you are in danger, because I won't."

Vincent then disappears leaving Ishly back alone when Ishly begins to tear up and calls out for him while he was watching having tears un his eyes as well since it made him sad to see his child like that.
