Which makes her wonder. Why?\n\nThose tinkering elves did make their machines last for aeons so normally running into any autonomous was a given. And the chances of encountering Falmers are also normally a big given. But neither? That was a new experience. Including the lack of traps.\n\n``Just what was this down here if absolutely NOTHING is waiting one getting a jump on me?'' asks the Zeraora in confusion until she reaches a big chamber which was lid by the usual odd lamps of the Dwemer. Putting out her torch and sheathing her sword she looks around... it was just a big empty room. With one thing in the middle. A pedestal. With a blue glowing cube floating in the middle of it. \n\nWalking forward she reaches the pedestal and still nothing happening to try and make her regret coming here. But no. Nothing happened. ``Just what by the nine is going on here?'' muttered the electric type and looked at the cube. The design was unknown to her but the scripture... reminds her a bit on Deadra... but that?s not possible. The Dwemer would never put such a script on any of their things.\n\nCurious the adventurer debates if she should take the object or not... until it suddenly started to glow red and before Charis could react the light got so bright it blended with her.\n\nAs she was able to see again, she found herself in a wide field. The cube to her feet. Poking it with her feet, it showed no reaction so she picked it up and pockets it before looking around.\n\nWhile she was in a few corners of Tamriel during her life, this was a place she couldn?t recognize. Also, she couldn?t see if it was night or day because the large dark clouds covered the sky, but the slight light tone of the clouds could give the possibility that the sun was up... was she really the entire night through this odd place? But then why is she isn?t hungry? A question for later decided Charis. Right now she was in unknown territory with no idea what dangers await. So she did the only thing she could do... walk in one direction in a straight line until she would find a mark she recognized or find anything that allows her to reach anything that gives her a roof and the chance to find out WHERE she ended up. And perhaps drop that cube to the next Dwemer expert and be done with it. It didn?t take too long to find what seemed a line of mountains at her view, the hills covered by the dark clouds.\n\nGiven that she has no clue how long she would walk, she decided to march towards the mark that catches her eye in an instant: What seemed a large city surrounded by large black walls.\n\nShe soon was able to reach the wall?s wide-open gates, having only a pair of guards guarding the entry from the front, and only gave her a watching glare when she entered the city. When she crossed it, she got frozen by the view inside.\n\nShe could see that inside the city was living a lot of people, but what shocked her was that there weren?t humans or elves, or any race she could recognize. No, there were many creatures as dogs, cats, moles, birds, lizards, all in humanoid forms, just like her. But what shocked her the most is that there were dragons, in the same shape as the others!\n\n\"Where in Akatosh Head am I?\" she exclaimed in her shock and was even not sure if she should be glad or worried that those dragons weren?t starting to jump on her given WHO she is. For now, she is thankful but wary about the non-aggression of those dragons and began searching for a pub where she could find out a few things about this place. It didn?t take long to find one and heads in, straight to the owner of the pub. \"Hello\" she simply stated to him while reaching for her coin back \"Two questions. First: Are those accepted here?\" and tossed a few on the table.\n\nThe owner just grabbed one of the coins and looked at it. ``We usually use gems as currency, but these coins of gold... maybe. Second question?'' \n\n\"Where do I find an expert for geography or better magic?\" she stated \"Got a bit... displaced due to an artefact and have no clue where I am right now.\" going straight forward with those details of truth \"No clue of towns name or which country I am right now.\"\n\nWhile she was speaking with the owner, a small group of customers were looking at her at that moment, talking between them.\n\n``Well, I'm not an expert, but maybe I know one or two people that could help you.'' He said. ``I don't know if one of them is still in the country, but maybe you can find the others... if you keep the mind open.''\n\n``Cryptic... how wonderful'' she sighs ``As if I don't deal with it daily'' but shakes the head ``Well that's better than I could hope for. Keep those coins and give me a good mead and a good recommendation where I can find a bed for the night.''\n\n``Okay, but about where to stay the night, the ones I know aren't exactly for a girl like you.'' The owner laughed, going to the kitchen.\n\n``What is he taking me for?'' she muttered while waiting and took a seat and looked around in the tavern to spot troublemakers and trouble. She is not in the mood to be involved either right now so seeing in time is golden for her.\n\n\"Hey, miss.\" She turned around, finding a group of bipedal dogs and cats, alongside what seemed a horse, who seemed to be the one talking. \"We couldn?t help but hear your conversation. And my friends and I thought that we could help you.\"\n\n\"And what would be in for you?\" she asked simply \"Oh and if you think about robbing me... I killed enough groups who tried that old ?Help you rob you? trick.\"\n\nThe group laughed at her as if they weren?t taking her seriously.\n\n\"Come on, you don?t need to be so harsh, girl. Maybe we can give you some directions... and in exchange, we could have fun with you. Not many females as you are seen around.\"\n\n``We Zeraoras were never in big numbers.?? admits Charis ``Not helping that people think that our race belongs to some smugs that stole the divinity of a different race.'' while scratching her neck a little and looks at them ``And fun? Depends but if it is my body I decline. Horses are not my type.''\n\nThen she looks at them ``And about harsh: In my home of Skyrim, you don't live long if you are not willing to kill each day. Be it giant spiders, bears, Falmer or dragons that want to kill everybody who isn't worshipping them as gods.''\n\nThen the horse grabbed her from the arm ``Look, we don't know what you're talking about or whatever is this Skyrim, but you better not make fun of us. You will come with us whatever you want or not!''\n\nCharis looks at her arm and then back at him... unimpressed and with only two quick movements she had his head slammed into the table, with the sound of something breaking before she kicks him to the group of cats and dogs ``Anybody else?''\n\nThe horse groaned by the hard-hit, his hand on his nose. \"Don?t stay there, you idiots, catch her!\"\n\nSoon a pair of dogs running at her with their hands open to catch her. However she was faster and dodged under their grabbing motion and slams into their stomach her fits and for good encouragement to stop acting, covered with electricity, shocking their bodies.\n\nThe two dogs fell to the ground unconscious by the shock, but then a pair of cats run at her, just when another dog grabbed her from behind.\n\nWhich she answered with a snarl and sued the hold of the dog to jump and bring her feet into a kick the cats? heads, using the momentum to force the dog to overexert to the back, him falling on the ground and forced to let go while she got on the feet and slams his her into the head, cracking the floor before she looks up to see others rushing it and she spoke three words, \"Thiid Klo Ul!\" and she was suddenly a blur that sends the felines and canines with hits on several painful spots flying before returning to her starting point and cracked her neck with a smirk.\n\nThe horse just stood shocked by what he was seeing but looked angry to the remaining members of his gang. \"Don?t stay there! She will get out of fuel sooner or later!\"\n\nWithout knowing it, one of his members was stepping back trying to reach to the door, just when he bumped with something, and when he turned his head around, he got pale by the view.\n\n``It was fun!'' stated Charis smiling ``But I am done playing!'' and took a breath for her next move ``Fus. Ro-'' \n\nShe was interrupted when she saw one of the canine goons fly to the remaining group, crashing at them and knocking all them, leaving only the horse standing.\n\n``That?s a form to treat a female?'' A voice said, getting the horse's attention, gasping in shock to see who spoke.\n\nShe could see that there was a black dragon of red horns and red underbelly and red wings, with yellow eyes. He was wearing a red body long coat with black pants and a black shirt underneath. The pants reach so far down it?s hard to tell if he wears black shoes or black boots, and with a large black sword on his back. This dragon was showing a grin in his face at that moment.\n\n``Th-th-th-the Dark Hunter?! What are you doing here?!'' The horse asked, scared.\n\n\"I was just passing, visiting the city for information when I heard the ruckus and saw what was happening.\" The black dragon answered to the horse.\n\nCharis was coughing and rubbing her neck for having to disrupt the force of a shout, something that always hurt her throat before she cleared said part of her body and stated \"Don?t worry too much. I was about to finish them off.\" she stated to them. And looks at the handwork she made before that dragon came in. While wondering if she should have cutthroats as well to underline her decline.\n\n``I can see that, but I think that with this is enough for today, I'm right?'' He said, staring at the horse.\n\nHe didn't say anything and suddenly began to run, leaving his goons behind.\n\n``I supposed it.''\n\nCharis just stood there, and looked in the direction of the kitchen ``How long do I have to wait for my mead? A woman needs to drink at times, you know?''\n\n``You're going to pay for the damage caused in my pub?!'' Yelled the owner, from behind the kitchen's door. To which the Zeraora simply went to the goons, took their money bags and asked ``How much?'' while putting them on the bar ``They are paying for it. And my mead.''\n\n``Just in a moment!'' \n\nSeconds later the owner was out with the meal, leaving the meal in the bar. Turning to it, Charis began to eat, not reacting visibly as the dragon took a seat next to her, while she took a big gulp of her drink.\n\n``You really made a big number here, miss.'' The dragon said to her. ``I don't know many females able to do that.'' He turned his head to the unconscious goons.\n\n\"It wasn?t my best time either\" she stated \"Again, I wasn?t aiming for kills\" and looked at him \"You are the second dragon in my life that is that close to me and not trying to kill me.\" and she had also no clue why she was even talking to him.\n\n\"Oh, really? Then it seems you don?t seem to have been around a dragon for a long time if it is the second time you talk with a dragon.\" He said with a chuckle.\n\n\"No. Every other dragon I ran into or found me wanted to kill me.\" was her answer and took another bite of her meal \"In my home, they are reappearing and killing anybody who isn?T worshipping them. And each other for more power.\"\n\nShe soon noted the confusion's glare in the dragon's face after those words.\n\nNarrowing her eyes slightly she asks ``Tell me if the continent of Tamriel, the land of Skyrim or the name Akatosh tells you anything.''She could see how he slowly shook his head at her own head falls on the table ``Just great! Leave it to a long disappeared race to ruin my week fully! I am now on the other end of Mungus or off Mungus completely?''\n\nHe looked at her for a moment. ``Ah, I see. Seems you're from another world.''\n\nShe looks up \"Yeah. One with dragons that want to rule the world and are the kids of our chief god.\" she stated, \"And I am in the special place of being a kid and grandkid at the same time.\"\n\nHe chuckled a little. ``Tell me about being in `special places'.''\n\n\"Oh? Your father is some demi-god and you got from your granddaddy the soul of such demigods as the chosen one, marking you as his kid as well?\"\n\n\"No, but I?m the twin brother of a purple dragon that, in this world, can use the elements of fire, ice, thunder and earth, at the same time, and be the guardian of this world.\" He replied to her. \"And I just share the ability to use those elements too.\"\n\n\"The first part can be done with most dragon types and normal type Pokemons of my world,\" she said dryly. \"And a purple dragon being a guardian? That would be a LOVELY bit of info for my father.\" and sighs.\n\n``And he could have saved the world from a more mature, but crazy, evil purple dragon as a teenager?'' \n\n\"Not sure if dragons had ever teenager years... but it?s expected from me to end the World Ender\" she stated \"And the funny part is that I have no fucking clue where I find the one thing I need to remove his invincibility.\" and raised the cub with the mead \"To the Dovahkiin who is chosen to kill a world-ending dragon with no clue where to find the most important tool for it.\" she snarls sarcastically \"And being lost in a completely different world thanks to the artefact of a race that has disappeared thousands of years ago but their cities and machines still in prestige form thanks to their smartness. And talking to other dragons without getting killed by them.\"\n\n``That was the longest `cheers' I ever heard.''\n\n``But a good summary of my problems'' she stated.\n\n\"Well, I think I can help a little with your problem of information.\" He said.\n\n\"Oh really?\" She asks and glances at him \"You got an expert for Dwemer machines on hand?\" \n\n``Well, if we talk about experts, I have an idea of who could help you. And maybe it could help you to return to your world.''\n\n\"And what would be in it for you to help me?\" She asked him with a raised eyebrow \"Help kill a monster or so?\"\n\n``Well, does something happen to help somebody? After all, for what you said, it is better to send you back to your world quickly.''\n\n\"I know. But usually, when people offer help, they have something as a goal as well.\" she said \"Skyrim is quite a throat-cutting like that. No help without returns\"\n\n\"One, this isn?t your Skyrim. And second, I had my deal with people from other worlds ending here. And trust me, some nasty people would know how people like you reach here. Here are evils that are better to stay here.\"\n\n``I take your word then. Let's finish here first'' she stated and continued eating ``Oh, and don't die on me. I am not in the mood if the soul absorption deal of those with a dragon soul applies to your kind of dragons as well.''\n\n``You will see that it is pretty hard to kill me.''\n\n``Still claim that to our luck we have to kill some nasty monster to get me home.'' she just stared at him with a chuckle and took the last bite of the meal and drank the remaining mead before she took what was left of the cash of the goons and put it into her spare coin bag. ``So where is your expert we have to find?''\n\n``Just follow me. And by the way, is Spyke.''\n\n``Mine is Charis.''\n\nThe Zeraora followed the black dragon Spyke across the city streets and alleys, until reaching what seemed the ruins of a building, with only the arch and the doors standing still.\n\n``This is some kind of joke?''\n\n``Just what I thought the first time I looked at this place.'' Spyke chuckled. ``Just open the door and see.''\n\nShe shrugs and opens the doors, seeing no reason to do that because there should be nothing at the other side of those doors in the ruins.\n\nBut instead of that, she found herself staring at what seemed the insides of the largest library she could have seen in all her life, with lots of shelves, books and scrolls in her view.\n\nShe blinked and stepped out to check if she is really going to the right now before moving in and looks around ``Dang. I bet if my father knew about this place, he would instantly have every asset he has sent out to gather a complete copy of it.'' \n\n``Welcome to the Great Library.'' Said Spyke entering with her. ``And doubt your father could try to do something if he knew who is the real owner of this place.''\n\n``As if you know him'' she huffed ``He is in a constant fight with Hermaeus Mora regarding who has more knowledge gathered. One more enemy in his seeking of dominance over political power and knowledge is nothing new for him.''\n\n``Well, after you return back to your world, tell him to be lucky dealing with an Abyss Lord.'' He just replied to her.\n\n``You think I?m going to tell him that? We aren't on speaking terms.'' she rolls her eyes ``So where is the daedric lord of this place?''\n\n``I don't think we're speaking of the same topic, but who we're looking at isn?t a `daedric' as you say.''\n\nShe rolls her eyes ``Just tell me how to let the owner know we are here so we can talk with him.'' while putting her hands on the hips ``And should I pull out the object I think is responsible for my presence here?''\n\n``We will meet the one who we must talk to soon enough.'' He said, walking forward. ``Ah, and watch out with the imp!''\n\nShe wondered what he meant, just when she felt something pricking her butt, making her shout in pain, soon seeing a small devil with a small trident and laughing while flying away. ``STAY HERE!'' she shouts and reflexively throws one of her daggers and hits him in his butt in return, though it didn't stick so she rushed over and picked up her dagger ``Come back so I can skin you!!!'' and holds out her dagger to it with a glare, pondering if she runs after it or throws her dagger after them.\n\nSuddenly she felt how Spyke grabbed her arm. ``Don't play with it or it will be worse.'' He said and pulled her away with him. \n\n``If he shows up again, he gets my daggers through the body'' she stated with a huff ``So where to find your expert in this maze?''\n\n\"I was here before, so I know where to go. And forget the imp, is just a jester but is practically harmless. Trust me, I was one of its victims once the first time I came here.\"\n\nShe just accepts and starts walking after him as he starts moving. And he guided her between the shelves, she soon noticed that the library was also the house of many types of monsters that kept their distance to them, and even saw how some of those monsters moved in and out of some of the books.\n\nAfter a while, he took her to what could be a large circular table with a small space to access to the inner portion of the table, and near it, there was an old man with medieval robes looking into some scrolls he had at hand.\n\nShe raised an eyebrow and whispers ``If I wouldn't know it better, I would have thought he is a Greybeard.''\n\n\"Hey, old man,\" Spyke called the Librarian, but the old man didn?t react to his call. \"Sorry, when he gets engrossed in a task, it?s like talking to a wall.\"\n\n``Let me try something'' she mused and cleared the throat and roared ``Drem Yol Lok!'', shaking the space a little.\n\nThat was enough to take the old man from his trance startled. ``What in tarnation?!''\n\n\"I know. I was informal with a proper Dovah greeting... but I doubt you would have liked a fire breath on top of the shaking shout,\" she stated simply with a bow of respect.\n\nThe old man left the scrolls at hand on the table, walking to them. ``Oh, Spyke, what a surprise see you here. I'm sure you're looking for some information, right?''\n\n``Yeah, you're right, but now I have something else at hand.'' He replied at the Librarian.\n\nThe Librarian just noted the Zeraora's presence. ``Oh, and who might you be, miss?''\n\nTesting a bit how much he knows, she simply said \"Zu?u Charis, Nol fin land keizaal do Tamriel\"\n\nSpyke looked at her confused by the language she used, while the old man stared at her thoughtfully. \n\n``Mmm, it has been a lot while since the last time somebody spoke to me in that language...''\n\n\"I am slightly surprised the dragon here doesn?t know Dovahzul.\" mused Charis with a grin. \"It literally means dragon voice after all.\"\n\n\"Well, the Dovahzul isn?t a language spoken here, at least in our world.\" The old man replied. \"And I?m surprised to see somebody of Tamriel here, but never expected to be a Pokemon.\"\n\n``Helps my father, a Dovah himself, had... a thing of mating with Pokemons'' she stated and rolled her eyes ``And Akatosh decided to throw in a piece of his essence into me as well.''\n\n``No, no, no. What I mean is that I never heard of Pokemon in that world.'' Was his reply.\n\nTo which she blinked \"But it?s common fact that Arceus helped the Nine stabilize the world after its original creator left, creating that way the sun.\" was her shocking reply\n\n``Okay, now I'm a little lost here.'' Suddenly said Spyke, having enough of hearing of topics that makes nonsense to him.\n\n``Is simple. Seems that your friend is from another dimension. That could explain why in her dimension the Pokemon exist in her world, while in our dimension don't.'' The Librarian explained.\n\n\"Dwemer Tech. Always good for headaches\" she stated and took out the cube \"Found this in a big room with only this on a pedestal. Got close, it glowed next thing I found myself on a field with the city in view. Didn?t glow or react since then.\"\n\nThe Librarian looked at the cube for a while. ``Mmm, I see...''\n\n``Do you know how to get it on?'' asks Charis ``Do we have to do something, like collecting a very rare plant, get something from an ancient tomb, collect soul gems or cutting the heads off from a very specific cove of witches?''\n\n``Just tell me, where you found this cube?''\n\n\"A surprisingly empty Dwemer ruin. Just a long and dark tunnel ending into a big and lighten up one hall with this thing the only object alongside a pedestal.\" she stated, \"The ruins themselves are at the north-western coast of Skyrim and were only found by chance by a fisher.\"\n\n``A strange place to leave something like this indeed.'' and he saw her look at him of expectation. ``But still, I think I can help with it.''\n\n``That?s great. What needs to be done?'' she asks with a big grin.\n\n\"I think I can do something, but what worries me are the side effects of this artefact.\"\n\n``Which is?'' she asks with a deep sigh and crosses her arms, having already expected something would sour her luck.\n\n\"To begin, I have an idea of why this kind of artefact was hidden. Look, this object allows not only to travel between worlds but also between dimensions. But was not used because.... well, leave me to explain this to you.\" He said.\n\n\"Look, when you use this artefact, it transports you between dimensions by basically making a rift between both points that close after using it. That?s normal, but the problem is that to cross between dimensions, you have to go through the Limbo.\"\n\n``Wait, the Limbo?'' Spyke asked in shock.\n\n``And for the Laie of the threesome we have right now?'' deadpans Chairs with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow.\n\n\"The Limbo is some dimension, a prison, where the souls of the evilest creatures are trapped, punished to never reincarnate. There you can find all kinds of immortal souls that can?t die, and could resurrect with sinister methods if they escape from it.\" The old man replied.\n\n\"This artefact basically makes a rift that connects the Limbo to the destination point, and for what I read. Every time this artefact was used, a soul from the Limbo escaped. After knowing this, they hid the artefact to be never used and forgotten.\"\n\n\"Typical Dwemer. Hiding instead of crashing.\" she stated simply with a shaken head \"But what I don?t get why such an insecure hiding place.\"\n\n``That I don't know.''\n\n``Hey, old man, you don't think what could this mean?'' Spyke asked.\n\n``If `he' has used this chance to escape? Yes, I'm sure he could be the first one to escape using that route and come to our world.''\n\n\"Who are you talking about?\"\n\n``Drakath...'' Spyke murmured to which Charis just spread her arms as this name doesn't ring a bell to her.\n\n\"Drakath is what you could consider a dracolich. In the past, he was one of the Ancestors, a group of master dragons that governed us in the past. Drakath was the mentor of what we would call the ?Dark Master? in the future but was judged because he attempted to obtain immortality using sacrilegious methods and was punished to burn. But he survived, turning himself into bones and escaped.\"\n\n\"And for millennia he ruled this country, Mortus Valley, using every kind of demonic creature he could summon. Fortunately, he was finally destroyed by Spyke, here present.\" The Librarian looked at the black dragon.\n\n``But I had help then, even when I wanted to say that I did it alone.'' He replied.\n\n\"But later we found that his soul was trapped in the Limbo and that he had to deal with him the few times he was summoned by his acolytes.\"\n\n``And now because I thought I found some good loot, I released him.'' she stated and gave a sigh ``Compared to the dragons of my home. How hard is he to kill?''\n\n``Think on a dracolich able to use dark magic and teleport himself.''\n\n\"So a dragon skeleton that can switch places instantly and use destruction magic?\" she asks and tilts her head \"Doesn?t sound that troublesome. What?s the catch?\"\n\n\"For a start, forget about smashing his bones.\" stated the man to which she raised an eyebrow at him, as she had now slight wonder WHY smashing would be a bad idea.\n\n``But the question here is... where he could hide?'' Spyke asked.\n\nTo which she just asks ``Does he have a habit of possessing or mind control people?''\n\n\"He never showed that ability before,\" Spyke replied.\n\n``Maybe I know where he could hide?'' The Librarian said, catching the attention of the two.\n\n``Yeah? And where?''\n\n``Just wait.'' He said and left, soon returning with a map, extending it on the table.\n\nLooking at the map, Charis could deduce that it was showing the country where she was, and she could see that the whole country was surrounded by a ring of hills blocking any way in and out of the country, except a path from the south and a river crossing the south too. The map also shows the city where she was, on the west. A forest with an isolated temple at the north of the city, a large hill at the northwest area, a lake on the southwest, a temple surrounded by forest at the southeast area, a volcanic zone at the northeast area, a lone temple around the centre, and the image of a large fortress just north of it.\n\n\"If I?m sure, the only place where Drakath could hide after returning would be in his old castle.\" The Librarian signals the castle?s image.\n\n``The problem is that the castle is in ruins even after he was defeated!'' Exclaimed Spyke.\n\n``But surely the underground areas would still be intact.'' He countered. ``At least part of it.''\n\n\"Too many bad guys want the ruins if they have no other place to go.\" shrugs Charis \"Even Deadra. Believe me. Killed enough of those in the past 30 years.\"\n\n``Yeah, but usually the acolytes tend to reunite there when they know that the Dark Hunter isn't around.'' He replied.\n\n``So he got followers there. Then we should head over and start dealing with things'' replied the Zeraora with a nod while rolling her shoulders\n\n``Oh, if Drakath's there, the acolytes will be the less of our troubles.'' The black dragon said with a grin.\n\n``Killed necromancers that wanted to resurrect a mad necromancer queen, and had to fight through her undead army and her ghost shortly afterwards to get rid of her.'' smirked Charis back ``So I would consider our situation a good step up to that experience.''\n\n``Then be my guest.'' He shrugs.\n\n``Lead the way.'' she simply stated ``I am not from here after all.'' while spreading with an amused grin.\n\nHe nodded and began to move, with her following him, out of the Library and out of the City. Out in the fields, they directly followed the path towards their goal, a trip that will take some hours to at least spot the ruins.\n\nAs they saw the ruins, Charis whistled ``Wow! If I go by size alone, I think we need at least three or four more hours until we even reach it.''\n\n``Well, we're lucky that we didn?t get any monster hindering us.''\n\n``You know that could count as jinxing?'' she stated while raising an eyebrow, having been surprised herself of the lack of attacks but knew why she didn't state it yet.\n\n``Don't talk to me about jinxing. I had my problems with that in the past.'' He replied. ``As when I was following that fiendish time demon...''\n\n\"I am not asking how that went\" was the simple answer \"Now let?s see that we get over there.\"\n\nThe duo finally reached the castle's ruins, Charis figuring that when the castle was intact, it would be an amazing structure, if you ignored the former owner. ``A reason nobody tried to take it as their own new home?'' she wondered.\n\n``If you knew the tales of the most terrifying villain you have ever heard in your world, who nearly destroyed the world, you would dare to live just where the one responsible for creating him lived before?''\n\n``Look at the last few thousand years of Tamriel and you'd be surprised.'' was her simple reply ``You cannot think how many world conquerors and destroyers called various places home.''\n\n``Different worlds, different people.'' He said. ``Of course, many people believe that the place is haunted since then.''\n\n``Ok. That?s a good reason. Not everybody has the nerve to fight ghosts. Or have the right tools to do so.'' nodded Charis with a nod ``Remember my first time dealing with ghosts... accidentally destroyed the house in question for overdoing with the electric power.''\n\n``Well, dealing with ghosts and demons are my speciality.''\n\n``Give me Thalmor and bandits anytime.'' she shrugs as they walk and soon reaches the foot of the walls surrounding the castle... and the greeting company made of creatures Charis never saw before were already waiting. \n\n``Looks like somebody expected us'' mused the electric type and drew one of her swords and it crackled slightly with electricity as she grinned.\n\n``Yeah, that seems.'' He said taking the sword from his back. ``Okay, you take care of the ones of the left?''\n\nShe mused ``What? You want to fight as well?'' she jokes and smirks ``Keep up boy'' before darting forward in high speed and reaches soon the first creatures and their cut bodies are flying three seconds afterwards, announcing the carnage she is about to deliver.\n\n\"This girl is really quick.\" He mused, just before vanishing in an explosion of black smoke, to appear between the creatures, with his sword ready. \"But I have my tricks too.\" He said, before doing a circular smash with his huge sword, slashing every monster around him with an only sweep.\n\nThat they, despite their different pacing, they are keeping up with each other, though it was clear Charis didn?t use her full arsenal yet. Saving them for the real fighting. The last monster got the head cut off before she shouts \"Fus Roh Dah! And sends the body through the gates of the castle.\n\n``If they didn't know we're here still, now they know it.'' He comments after hearing the shout.\n\n``And?'' she asks with wonder ``Made the killing easier by making them come to me.'' \n\n``Yeah, you're right about that.'' agreed Spyke while Charis sheats her sword and draws two of her daggers ``Anybody who comes with electricity is automatically mine until they wise up!''\n\n``And why? It's that you can null electricity?''\n\n``Better. Absorb and heal from it'' she grins to him.\n\n``Well, if you need a shoot, just call.'' He snaps his fingers, causing a spark of electricity on them. \n\n``I keep in mind'' she smirks and turns as she sees the first ones rushing towards them ``Well I think the fun starts now!'' and twirled their weapons for a moment.\n\n\"Yeah, that seems.\" He prepares his weapon for the attack though before he could react she was at the group already and were cutting them apart with the daggers, seemingly to juggle three daggers, two always in her hands, the third being in the air to stick in somebody before pulled out again for the next target. \"Come on! At least leave me that big one!\"\n\nSpyke rushed to the bigger one of the group, wrapping his arm in flames while showing a smirk before jumping to the large monster?s head. At that moment he punched it with his fist in flames, soon causing a brutal explosion that sent the monster flying away.\n\n``Neat hit!'' she told him while sheathing one dagger and pulled from the head of the last monster she killed the one slammed in out again, cleaning it with a quick swipe over the creatures fur.\n\n``And this isn't the end?'' He said, and in her eyes saw how his sword began to form stone, soon turning the weapon into a huge stone club that slammed to the ground, causing a large quake and smashing the ones caught with it.\n\nShe jumped at the wall and runs along with it, while sparks are escaping her feet before jumping off and kicks the closes she is reaching hard enough that the neck made a nasty cracking sound, followed with a roundabout kick to the next monster, sending it towards Spyke?s blade before returning to the blade dancing ending this round with a shout again, this time sending a torrent of flames down the corridor that burned everything in reach to ashes.\n\n``Really, you're a box of surprises.''\n\n\"Eh. Wait until I pull the really game-changing ones out. Then you can say that\" she just smirks to him with a deep chuckle.\n\n``We will see.'' He replied.\n\nThe two continued walking into the castle ruins, finding a way underground, and soon found a corridor, noting a figure standing on their way.\n\nSpyke was smiling for the next battle, but then inspected the figure, narrowing his eyes after what he saw. It was an armoured skeleton by only seeing the skull, but what worried him was the armour itself, which was covered with red strips of fabrics, armed with a huge hammer weapon designed as a large aspergillum.\n\n``You gotta be kidding me...'' Spyke murmured seeing their next enemy. Looking over that one, Charis tilts her head ``That... is a weird one.'' \n\n\"Yeah, I can verify it.\" He said and turned to her. \"I would leave you this one after all this one uses electricity, but I know this kind of guys, and aren?t pushovers.\"\n\nCharis rolled her head ``You are aware that you made a certain type of implication regarding me?''\n\n``I'm just warning you.''\n\n\"Let?s deal with him together anyway. The faster he is dead the faster we can have to the fun ones\" mused Charis and switches her daggers for her two swords.\n\n``Okay.'' He said to her, grabbing his sword.\n\nWhen the two were closer, the skeletal warrior slammed his weapon against the ground, as a warning to begin the fight.\n\n\"Time to dance~\" she smirks to him and sprints forwards with her blades in a reverse grip.\n\nSpyke ran with her against the armoured skeleton, just to stop on their track to avoid a heavy swing of the weapon, used as a heavy hammer, damaging the wall with the strike.\n\n\"Good swing here\" she whistles before grinning \"Bad he is telegraphing\" before moving in, striking the enemy to test the armour and openings before she rolls aside to avoid a down blow of the weapon, to which she follows up with a swipe of her dagger, cutting deep into the opening of the torso and used her rest momentum to kick into the new wound as well.\n\nBut the skeleton didn't feel pain from those attacks and began to swing its weapon, and began to spin while going to them, at the same time that charges electricity on its weapon, forcing the two to jump aside to avoid being struck by that attack.\n\n\"So stubborn as ever,\" Spyke said, grabbing his weapon and covering it in ice giving it a longer range.\n\n\"I give your people one thing... studier walking skeletons.\" admits the electric type \"In Skyrim, it would be broken by now.\"\n\n\"I?d appreciate the compliment if that was originally from here.\" He said, confusing the female Zeraora for a moment.\n\nHe rushed at the armoured skeleton and began to hit at every spot he could strike while avoiding the undead?s weapon swings, at times blocking them and keeping the distance with it.\n\nCharis then rushes over and jumps over one swing and delivers a brutal kick towards the head, trying to remove it or at least the helmet from the rest of the body. Fortunately, the helmet got flying after that hit.\n\n``Hey, would you keep that weapon low?'' He said, seeing the skull vulnerable. To which Charis gave a grin and at a good point, she grabbed on the weapon, and shoved her body weight on it, causing a disbalance on the enemy as it had to handle a sudden change of the weapons balance.\n\nWith that window opened, he jumped, changing the ice of his blade with rocks and turning it into a heavy club, he slammed the weapon on the skeletal enemy, breaking the skull and making the body to knell, just before a sudden bolt from the body destroyed the remains.\n\nCharis looked at the ashes while rolling her shoulder \"One. That last blast had nasty tasting thunder. Two. What do you mean it?s not from here? Is it from a different world like me?\"\n\n``You will believe me if I said that I had my share of going to different worlds?'' He asked her with a grin.\n\n``Given my situation?'' she asks ``I must be crazy not to.'' while shrugging and looking again at the spot, ``I only regret not having a proper loot from this guy.''\n\n\"For beginners, this guy?s remains was a member of a group called the ?Anointed Legion?.\" He began. \"Elite guards under the orders of a batshit insane religious Leader.\"\n\n``Go on.'' She replied.\n\n\"Time ago, when I was chasing a demon, suddenly both were transported to another world. With no trace of my target, I looked around, and soon got an idea of what was going on there.\" He said, looking at the female. \"Look, in this weird place, called Cvstovia, there was some kind of deity which they called ?the Miracle?, which could turn people into saints or monsters if wanted, but I just see it as a manipulative bastard in my opinion. Then I found that this world was suffering by one of his ?miracles?, which turned all the religious main power in the land into monsters, and their leader, believing to be the will of this Miracle, he sent every monster turned by this to terrorize everyone in the country, ?by lack of piety and faith? how they said.\"\n\n\"It didn?t take me too long to find that there was somebody who was trying to put an end to that madness, a guy with a sword. You can believe if I tell you that was the most silent partner with whom I travelled ever, not a word said in all the travel. At the last, we reached their main cathedral and destroyed both the demon I was looking for and the crazy religious leader. After all that, I was sent back to my world, without knowing what happened after that.\"\n\n\"So either somebody who had quite the silent vote or got the tongue cut\" she simply mused and shrugs \"Well, I bet you have more stories but now let?s kill that other guy.\"\n\n\"Yes, and I have my suspicions because the skeleton?s armour we faced was used by this leader, as I told you before.\"\n\n``Which is that we have to face that Milacre next?'' she deadpans while starting to walk forward.\n\n``No, I doubt this thing has power over this world, but still I want to be sure.''\n\n``If it is here, we just shout it to pieces. Or make a deal with a Deadric prince. I bet we find one of them is going to be pissed enough at this thing to help us out of a principle.'' mused Charis ``That?s how I handled some of them in the past.''\n\nHe rolled his eyes and began to walk. They continued their way and... aside from the occasional small fry demon they didn't encounter anything until they reached a giant room. A room where Charis had to ask ``Is this room really part of the castle? I have the feeling that takes more space than it should be possible.''\n\nHe looked around. The whole room seemed to have some significant details on it. One, there were a lot of broken statues around. Two, there were the remains of the torso or a giant statue, which lacked the head. And three, the whole place seemed to be filled with ashes. Spyke just stared at the headless's statue for a moment.\n\n``I remember this place. Is where I fought that fiend of Medusa here.'' to which he only received an odd look from Charis but she decides to ask later about this Medusa\n\n``So... given you were here before'' she mused ``Any clue where to go next? Or do we have to fight a very nasty monster with some nastier trick?''\n\nHe walked around the room. \"I can?t believe this place survived partly to the castle?s collapse.\" He said, but then spotted something behind a statue, and moved it away, finding a symbol there. \"Just as I suspected.\"\n\n``What is?'' She asked, approaching and seeing the symbol, what seemed an eight in right angles, with the long frontal line being wider than the rest. ``You know that symbol.''\n\n\"Yes,\" Spyke replied. \"The symbol of the Twisted One.\" to which he explained. \"The symbol of the first Miracle in Cvstovia. I saw these symbols in other places, but never here.\" He said, walking around. \"But there?s always a first time, right?\" He asked, looking around. \"His Holiness Escribar?\"\n\nAfter those words, the ashes began to float around, as if an invisible wind was moving them.\n\n``I thought that after dealing with you, you would have gone to... how you called? The other side of the forbidden dream?''\n\n``I must admit, that when my life ended that day, I expected to go there.'' Suddenly an old voice was heard around them.\n\n\"Taking into account the mess you caused, I?m not surprised you ended in the Limbo,\" Spyke said. \"Pretty dickass this Miracle of yours.\"\n\nCharis asks ``So... before we banter more and eventually fight: Did you escape with Drakath or was it only you as I got my ticket through that place?''\n\n``When you used that magic to break into the Limbo, I saw an opportunity to leave that place. And now, I'm walking between the living again. I must give you my most sincere gratitude for it.''\n\n``So Drakath didn't escape here.'' He murmured for a moment. ``What are you doing here, then? You're not too far from your world, or your deity?''\n\n``At first, I was surprised to see this world, its lack of piety, its lack of faith. As a loyal servant to the Miracle, I must take his word. And if I take our religion to this corrupted world, then the Miracle will be able to manifest here.''\n\n``Sorry, but I saw how your Miracle works, old man!'' Spyke said. ``Maybe this world isn't perfect when we talk about religions, but that?s better than to have that jerkass deity of yours here! He has no will here!''\n\n\"My young child.\" The voice said, referring to Charis. \"Thanks to you, I?m free from that prison, and I?m willing to reward you by your help. If you stay at my side, I will concede more power than you have ever seen in your world.\n\n``I think I am sticking to something a guy told me once: I already have more power than most people who aren't immense fire-breathing monsters!'' she stated to him simply while drawing her two blades ``And by Arkatosh. I bet you never saw anybody with my might!''\n\n``Seems that you're made your decision then.''\n\nThen from the ashes appeared what seemed an old man of red skin inside of what seemed an armour that seemed to be based in the robes of a high ranked cleric, armed with a golden dagger on a hand.\n\n``Now, may your sword of black silver, yours of ancient, and mine of gold, collide.'' Said the creature, Escribar. ``Let them hurt and march in procession.''\n\n``I curse you forever in name.''\n\n``I bless you forever in death.''\n\nAfter those words, Spyke prepared his weapon for the incoming battle. Charis was first on the move as usual and rushed towards the old man and swung her swords towards the opponent, expecting that he either tried to dodge or counter with whatever magic this cleric wields.\n\nEscribar just covered himself with his cape and disappeared in the ashes just when her weapon was to hit him.\n\n``I hate that he can teleport.'' Spyke cursed, looking around.\n\n\"Tell me about it. Had my share to mages that run with that too often.\" was her grunting answer to his statement, and looked around to find the priest, twirling her blades a little to loosen up a bit and spot him \"Behind you!\"\n\nWhen he turned around, he saw the old man making an eight pattern with his hand, soon making it appear in front of him while holding his dagger with both hands while forming a barrier around him, and soon fireballs began to fall over them.\n\n``Really, the tricks of this guy are old!'' Spyke said, jumping to avoid one of the fireballs. She was rolling on the ground to avoid one of the balls and let her sword drop... and with a quick and often exercised movement she drew one of her four daggers and tossed it towards their enemy.\n\nThe weapon hit him directly, nulling his barrier and getting open to attacks, first having to avoid the fireballs to be able to get near him. Charis, after picking up her discarded blade, was already moving alongside with Spyke to get that hit they wanted before any funny tricks could be pulled.\n\nThey were lucky to give some slashes with their weapons at Escribar, just before he disappeared again between the floating ashes. Giving a snarl, Charis sheathed one of her swords and picked up her dagger ``I know people don't want their throat cuts but some need it really badly for the health of others.'' she muttered and looked around for their adversary.\n\nThey kept looking, until bolts began to fall around them, and soon discovered the old man doing his magic, this time summoning the bolts under his shield?s protection. To which the Zeraora only smirked before starting to rush without care towards the \"holy man\" and only just before she reaches him, a bolt of lightning crashes into her location.\n\nWho in turn opened his mouth to start berating the foolish woman, only for coughing in surprise as he saw her coming out of the strike unharmed and slashes his shield with her sword, following up with slashing her dagger, charged with electricity for extra pain.\n\n\"Bad idea using that.\" smirks Charis and then follows up to her strike with quick \"Fus Roh Dah!\" to send the old man flying from the pure force called by the reality-bending might of Dovahzul\n\nAfter falling hard, the old man stumbles while standing up, getting ready to make one of his spells.\n\n``Oh no, you don't!''\n\nSpyke teleported behind Escribar and used his blade to slash him, which made the old man disintegrate into ashes, while the ashes floating around began to fall down.\n\n\"So, this is really the Miracle?s will?\" The old man?s voice was heard the last time, before getting silent.\n\n\"And you, of course, can teleport as well\" she stated with a raised eyebrow.\n\n``Well, I prefer to call it `Shadow Jump', you know.'' He said. As she saw, when he does that, an explosion of black smoke appears where first was, and then another where he appeared.\n\n\"Still pretty much the same thing: Bringing you in an instant from one point to another,\" she stated with a shrug\n\n``Say whatever you want, okay?'' He replied. ``But now the work's over.'' He now looked around.\n\n``Yeah... too bad that is not like Skyrim. Else there would be now a chest with riches we can take with us.'' mused Charis ``Or some kind of trophy I can show off at the next inn I go into.''\n\n``You want to show that you killed a crazy religious old man?''\n\n\"I want to show off that I killed a crazy and dangerous man who wanted to force his religion upon others\" she smirked \"Same truth without the subcontext that he might have been \"defenceless\" due to being old.\"\n\n\"Well, if you put it that way, you can take one of those bricks with the symbol if you want.\" to which she looked and picked up but mused as she threw it away \"Too bad his dagger is busted. Would make it much showier.\"\n\nThen she shrugged ``And once again a story without a trophy to show off. Too bad really.''\n\n\"Trust me, not everything is getting trophies to show off,\" Spyke said. \"Look at me, I hunted monsters and demons for nearly all my life, and the only ones of which I presume are the big shots. Really, really, big shots.\"\n\n``Eh, perhaps I get some nice souvenirs from this world before heading back to put them into my room.'' she shrugged simply and then rubs her chin ``I just recall... I should check in again. Has been a year since I ensured my housecarls are alright and doing well.'' while heading towards the exit before stopping as she felt a shake on the ground and looked down carefully.\n\n``What happens now?'' He asked, walking to where she was.\n\n\"I just felt... a shake on the ground\" and knelt down and put a hand on the floor, feeling the shake again \"If we were in Skyrim... I would say an Onix is tunnelling under this place...\" and shakes her head \"But that cannot be... so unless you got tunnel monsters, we should head back to your friend and tell him what happened here.\"\n\n\"I think we should leave this place. It has suffered enough pressure, and with the attacks of that old nut head...\" to which she agreed... as she starts noticing that new cracks are starting at the floor of where she stood and at the walls. Before grabbing his hand \"Hold tight on me. I am going to do something crazy.\"\n\n``Wait, how craz-'' but she shut him off by shouting first into the air, to which time seemed to slow down... before she followed with a second one and was dashing like mad forward, dragging Spyke with him, and she keeps on shouting the second one until they were at the other side of the outer walls, and only then time seems to return to normal... as parts of the ruins are breaking apart. \n\nWhile Charis was coughing madly while rubbing her now sore throat as she rarely is shouting so much on one day... or in such a short time.\n\nSpyke began to look around in confusion for a while.\n\n``You're kidding me? Can you use Time Element?'' Spyke scratches his head. ``I thought that the eggplant head of Spyro was the only one able to do that!''\n\n\"Time element?\" she asks with a rough voice while looking for her water bag \"That was only a combination of\" and as she found it drank a lot of the water inside \"Of the slow time shout and whirlwind sprint shout... for any other time manipulation I don?t have the appropriate shout\" and drank some more and rubs her throat \"Still sore... doubt I can shout any more for the day.\"\n\n``Really, all your magic in your world relies on shouts? You must end up hoarse at the end of the day.'' Spyke commented looking at her.\n\nShe shakes her head \"Only the might of the Dovahs require shouts. The rest.\" and she holds up a hand and a fireball floats above it \"requires the use of mana.\"\n\n``Okay, got it...''\n\n\"Now lets head back... \" she croaked while still rubbing her throat and started heading towards the town.\n\nHours later, they were back in the Great Library and told their discovery to the Librarian.\n\n\"Are you saying that the one who escaped wasn?t Drakath, but Escribar?\" He asked them after hearing the story. Charis nodded to this and then drank a tea she had gotten for her throat.\n\n\"That?s right. I was surprised when we found that but figured it out after dealing with one of his elite bodyguards,\" stated Spyke to him with a nod. THen Chairs looks pointy at the Librarian.\n\n``Well, and about your problem miss, I think I have a solution to take you back.\" explained the old man to which Charis looks at him with renewed interest, to hear his explanation. \"Maybe I can get the help of somebody for this but will take a while to get everything ready.\" which earned him a groan from the Zeraora and a sigh as she nodded in understanding. And drank the rest of her tea.\n\n\"Well.\" she croaked \"IT cannot be helped.\" before coughing a bit \"Bed here or inn?\"\n\n\"I think I know an inn in the city,\" Spyke spoke to her. To which she nodded and gestured to him to guide her the way while standing up.\n\nAn hour later, the two were in an inn, at least with good standards and once in a room, Charis took off the armour, wearing only some bands and checked her equipment and belongings if anything got damaged during that adventure. Spyke just sat in the chair in the same room, only because that room was the only one available at that moment.\n\nHer armour had some scratches and in one case a dent but nothing she couldn?t fix. The weapons were only in need of cleaning before she put all of them aside and laid down with the hands behind her head with a grin.\n\n\"I have to admit it, you fought really well back there,\" Spyke said to her.\n\n``Thanks'' replied Charis ``And you were not bad with your sword as well.'' she grins to him.\n\n``Thanks.'' He replied. ``It took years to be this good.'' He said, standing up. ``And if you don't mind, I think I will take a shower here. You don't know how useful this invention is and the word itself, `shower'.'' He chuckled for a moment, before getting inside the bathroom.\n\n\"Shower?\" she asked and sat up \"What is a Shower?\" and tilts her head in confusion. \"Is that a different word for a bathtub?\"\n\n``It was invented some years ago. Just think of it as a house-made waterfall.'' He replied from inside the bathroom. ``Casually this is the only inn in which this thing was installed.\n\nShe looks at him in wonder. \"I haven?t seen an aqueduct or redirected river leading to this inn. How can this \"shower\" work in this building without either?\"\n\n``I don't know, something related to `pipes' or something like that...'' she looked more confused and stood up before going to him ``Show me!'' she stated to him.\n\n``Hey!'' He yelled, having taken his upper clothes off and being near to take his pants off.\n\n``What? I just want to see it. Not going to bath with you'' she stated to him simply while crossing her arms.\n\n\"Well...\" He just murmured in a low voice. \"Is that thing over there.\" He said, signalling to the cabin. Raising the eyebrow, Charis went towards it, saw the knobs... and curiously she put her hands on the knobs and tested how they were working, soon beginning to fall water from a water outlet with many small holes, falling over her.\n\n``Wow. That?s really something'' she whistles ``Should tell some friends of mine to explain that connection... bet they can do something with that.''\n\n``Have you finished?'' He asked, making her turn around. ``The water that can fall is limited, so if you don't mind...''\n\n``Oh. Sure'' she nods and moves away to let him take the shower while heading out of the room, deciding to try it later for herself.\n\nAnd after a while, Spyke got out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel covering his lower body, and Charis decided to go and test this shower thing. Which she really enjoyed with the mix of this \"Shampoo\" getting her fur a cleaning she wasn?t able to give for weeks. Sighing loudly and in the content of the temperature, surprised by how it could control it, until she was ending it, humming to herself as she moved out of the shower and used the towels to dry herself.\n\nAnd when she got out of the bathroom, she found that Spyke was taking a nap on the bed, still having the towel covering part of his body. Seeing this she shrugged and tossed her towel over a chair and moved towards the mirror and checked over her body to see if there is anything that needs her attention to take care off... but couldn't find anything on her search, while unintentionally posing around.\n\nSpyke was still on his nap without noting the female posing near. She looked at the black dragon for a while, until she had an idea and smirked.\n\nAs Spyke was waking up he felt a tickling feeling between his legs and as he turned to look, he saw that Charis were busy with his two prides... by holding the tip of her fingers close to them and give it slight zappings with her electricity\n\n``Hey? What are you doing?'' He asked, resisting the urge to react at the zaps.\n\n``Just finding it curious you are related closer to a snake than the argonians'' she smirked to him with a chuckle while giving another zap to his dicks.\n\nHe rolled his eyes after hearing that comment from his cocks. He has heard that too many times that now just tries to ignore it. She chuckles loudly and whispers a word and blows an ice breath against them next and smirks.\n\n``What are you really trying to do? Arouse me? Because you will need more than that weak use of elements for that.''\n\nShe looks at him \"Want a thunder level shock or what?\" she deadpan to him while looking at him \"Those hurt for sure.\"\n\nHe narrowed his eyes. ``Have you ever used your mouth before?'' to which she looks at him ``Nah. Don't like the taste.''\n\n``Come on, really?'' He tilted his head. ``Then hope you're good with the hands at least.''\n\n``Oh... handjob you want?'' she mused ``Well...'' she mused while moving her fingers over his lengths and poke a little against his balls ``That can be arranged'' she smirks to him with a chuckle.\n\nHe just smiled looking at her. ``Then go on, miss.'' to which she starts rubbing his lengths with one hand, squeezing them from time to time while the other hand was busy fondling his balls, and gave them stimulating shocks to tickle them slightly.\n\nHe murred with small moans as she stroked his two cocks and fondled his balls with her hands. To which she continued with all this with a smirk and even added scratches all of this to turn on more. Though she did wonder how to pull off one of her normal tricks on him... as she never had one with two dicks before.\n\nHe continued moaning while she kept playing with his two cocks, and with a smirk he moved his draconic tail below her, rubbing her pussy with it. She gave a small shiver and mused \"Quit the eager boy here.\" and squeezed and shocked both dicks at once for maximum stimulation without pain.\n\nHe groaned with the work she was doing with his cocks while his tail kept rubbing her pussy. And after a while, his two cocks were full hard, of nearly a foot size each one.\n\nShe took a deep breath ``Wow... now I have to think how to take those'' she muttered, not being used to having to deal with two at once.\n\nHe just chuckles at her. ``I can help you with that if you want.'' He said, and without warning he grabbed her and pushed her against the bed, he being on top of her with a grin before moving down and rubbed her pussy with his hand. \n\nGasping loudly \"Hey! Want to risk defence moves?\" she asks him while giving a shiver\n\n``Any problem with that?'' He asked back, rubbing her pussy and sliding some fingers inside it.\n\nShe grunted loudly \"YOu have no idea how many tried to force me to that... little jumpy here,\" she told him, and shivered more upon his work on her body.\n\n\"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, I could stop.\" He said, while still fingering her pussy. She shivered loudly as he did that, which gave the answer to this indicated question, and smiling he kept fingering her pussy for a while. And she groans loudly and starts reaching up to his head and grabbed on one of his horns, pulling down to her chest.\n\nIn that position, he began to lick her small breasts with his tongue while still fingers her pussy. ``The only bad thing is that your breasts aren't bigger.'' He commented, while still licking her breasts.\n\n``That?s the first time I heard that'' she groaned loudly and scratches the back of his head while rubbing his arm.\n\nHe keeps licking her breasts and fingering her pussy, enjoying her groans. And those groans got louder and she shivered to them.\n\nAfter some minutes, he stopped and got in front of her. ``Well, you want them in both holes? Or you want to feel both of them in your pussy?'' To which she bit nervously the lower lips... as she had no clue what she should answer as any could be quite a ride for her.\n\n``If you're not answering, then I will choose then.'' He said and grabbed his two cocks, starting to rub the tip of them against her pussy.\n\n``Both of them there?'' she asks ``I... never had that?'' she gulped loudly.\n\nHe grinned and kept rubbing both against her pussy, soon beginning to push both cocks against her lower lips. A loud groan came and shivered while grabbing the sheets ``Ohhl...'' and eyes closed at the feeling, while he kept pushing his cocks, soon sliding the head of both through her pussy. Her hands are grabbing the sheets, pulling them as she bit her lips at the intense feeling of two large dicks pushing inside her body.\n\nHe kept struggling to get both cocks inside her, sliding them slowly but after a while, both were swallowed by her pussy. She groaned more loudly and shivered \"Dang it... \" and bit her lower lip while the eyes were closed. The back arched and some sparks ran over her body, some tickling his body.\n\nHe ignored the sparks tickling him, and began to thrust his two foot-size cocks in and out slowly. Causing her to groan even more loudly and the eyes are shut, her walls clenching hard on his prides, making him groan at every pound he makes to her lower lips. The sheets were starting to rip under the pull of her gripping claws and her back was starting to ache strongly.\n\nHe continues thrusting his two cocks inside her pussy, while moving his torso to her and beginning to lick her boobs. \"Suck it\" she groaned to him with eyes closed while pulling him harder with her legs. And obviously, he began to suck one of her breasts with his hands while pounding his cocks inside her love hole. And the clenching on his prides gets harder and stronger with every thrust of hers.\n\n``Damn you...'' she groaned loudly in pleasure.\n\n``Eh, no curses.'' He replied, still impaling his cocks inside her harder. And the groaning got louder and her limit closer from the sounds of her groaning.\n\nHe kept ramming his two cocks inside her, getting faster and deeper with his thrusts, crossing the cervix with his tips. Then she screams madly and her walls clenched hard while she came around his prides.\n\nHe groaned loudly, feeling her walls clenching against his cocks, and reaching his limit he began to shoot his cum from both dicks inside her pussy. To which she took a sharp intake of air and her eyes shot wide as she felt the load washing into her hole, soon getting bloated with his load of cum and swelling her belly with his sheer amount of seed.\n\n``Too... much..'' she shivered and had some tears as it pained her of having so much inside her.\n\nAfter a while, he stopped to shoot his seed inside her, and after giving out some pants, he took his two cocks from her pussy. \"Dang it... \" she muttered, \"Those balls... can?t believe they have that much... cum...\"\n\n``Well... you enjoyed it?'' He said with a smile.\n\n\"It was... very... much... too much...\" she shivered and laid back tiredly \"Gods... don?t think even Xerneas had such a fuck in her life.\"\n\n``I think I will take that as a compliment.''\n\n``Now... sleep...'' she stated and started dozing off with eyes closed, dozing off\n\nHe shrugs and lays at her side.\n\nHours later she awoke once again from her slumber and with a tired yawn, she moved towards the bathroom... planning to wash the sweat and cum off her body. And after a while, Spyke awakes just when Charis got out of the shower. \"Slept well?\" she asked while drying herself off and getting her clothes back on.\n\n``Yes, and you?'' He asks her, standing up.\n\n\"Get me some tea and I am ready to go\" she stated and looks at him \"And no, I am not drinking mead in the morning. Even I know alcohol that early is not a good idea.\"\n\n``You're looking at me as if I liked alcohol, girl.''\n\n\"You looked like somebody surprised I don?t start my day with Alcohol.\" she countered.\n\n``Well, never mind.'' He said. ``I just hope the Librarian has found what needed to take you back home.''\n\n\"Breakfast. Then we ask him,\" she stated to him.\n\n``Good idea.'' He replied to her. And the two went out of the room to grab breakfast from below.\n\nSome hours later, they were back at the Library, where they saw the Librarian near or what seemed a portal built in a hurry. Also, Charis saw that with him was somebody new to her, a female red gryphon with extremely revealing clothes, the largest boobs she saw on a female from a while, and some succubus marks on part of her body.\n\nShe looks over at the female and asks Spyke ``Friend of yours?''\n\nHe nodded and looked at the female. ``I suppose you're here by the old man, sis.''\n\n``Yes, that's it.'' The female gryphon replied.\n\nCharis glances between the tween and guessed ``Adopted?''\n\n\"Yep,\" he said and walked to the Librarian. She walked along and looked at the gryphon\"Hope you have no back pain.\"\n\n``What? Jealous?'' She asked with a smirk.\n\n``Nah.'' she laughed loudly ``Thought some of my brothers would like to breed ya.''\n\n``I would like it if they are large enough.'' Was her reply.\n\nShe shrugs to that ``You need to ask. Never saw any of my brothers naked. But given my...'' she sighed ``Father is a dragon...''\n\nShe just raised an eyebrow to her.\n\n\"Cross, have you finished talking with her about your male interests?\" Spyke called to her, surely to end their conversation.\n\n\"Okay!\" The gryphon said and moved to aside. Charis eyed her for a moment but decided to keep moving.\n\n\"Well, the old man says that with this machine you can return to your world,\" Spyke said to her.\n\n``Cool. Anything I have to pay attention to? Like suddenly having to deal with new monsters or the like?''\n\n``Nothing of that.'' The Librarian said. ``Sadly we can't control where it will open. It can be in a desert, in the middle of a volcano, inside a house...''\n\n\"Given my luck on top of a dragon or one of the deadric realms\" she deadpans loudly and stooks a breath \"Let?s see what happens.\"\n\nThe Librarian nods and activates the portal, soon appearing runes on the arc, and suddenly creating a purple watery screen inside the arc. She looks at the three \"Well. It was nice here. Let?s hope next time we see it?s not a crisis? making.\" and walks through the portal.\n\nAfter she went through it and was closed, Spyke spoke to her step-sister. ``Could you convince her to send somebody to her dimension?''\n\n``Convince lady Luxuria to send one of her Succubi Warriors? For why?'' she replied.\n\n\"I don?t know, but I have a bad feeling. Just hope to be wrong.\" He said, don?t take out of his head the fact that Escribar was the one who got to their world, and not Drakath, knowing that he would be the first to return here at the first opportunity.\n\nA sinister cloaked shadow stands in a dark room, with only a mirror on a side of the room. Just at that moment, a door opens and somebody enters inside it.\n\n``Something to inform?'' The cloaked shadow asked the person who was now behind him.\n\n``Yes. The movements are according to plan so far. We can soon start with Phase one. Shall we start dispatching people to take care of the only threat of those plans?''\n\n\"We must not hurry. Even if we?re close to beginning Phase one, acting hastily against that threat would call the attention of others to us.\"\n\n``Of course.'' he bowed and turned around to leave.\n\nWhen the man left the room, the cloaked shadow moved to the mirror, soon beginning to chuckle for a moment until he began to laugh madly, soon a thunder blight the room from a window and illuminating the shadow's head, revealing a draconic skull with shining eyes on the eye-sockets.\n\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"Charis was moving through an old Dwemer ruins, one hand holding a torch while the other had one of her swords in the ready, in case she had the unfortunate run into an autonomous or a Falmer... though much for her confusion neither happened. Which makes her wonder. Why?
Those tinkering elves did make their machines last for aeons so normally running into any autonomous was a given. And the chances of encountering Falmers are also normally a big given. But neither? That was a new experience. Including the lack of traps.
``Just what was this down here if absolutely NOTHING is waiting one getting a jump on me?'' asks the Zeraora in confusion until she reaches a big chamber which was lid by the usual odd lamps of the Dwemer. Putting out her torch and sheathing her sword she looks around... it was just a big empty room. With one thing in the middle. A pedestal. With a blue glowing cube floating in the middle of it.
Walking forward she reaches the pedestal and still nothing happening to try and make her regret coming here. But no. Nothing happened. ``Just what by the nine is going on here?'' muttered the electric type and looked at the cube. The design was unknown to her but the scripture... reminds her a bit on Deadra... but that?s not possible. The Dwemer would never put such a script on any of their things.
Curious the adventurer debates if she should take the object or not... until it suddenly started to glow red and before Charis could react the light got so bright it blended with her.
As she was able to see again, she found herself in a wide field. The cube to her feet. Poking it with her feet, it showed no reaction so she picked it up and pockets it before looking around.
While she was in a few corners of Tamriel during her life, this was a place she couldn?t recognize. Also, she couldn?t see if it was night or day because the large dark clouds covered the sky, but the slight light tone of the clouds could give the possibility that the sun was up... was she really the entire night through this odd place? But then why is she isn?t hungry? A question for later decided Charis. Right now she was in unknown territory with no idea what dangers await. So she did the only thing she could do... walk in one direction in a straight line until she would find a mark she recognized or find anything that allows her to reach anything that gives her a roof and the chance to find out WHERE she ended up. And perhaps drop that cube to the next Dwemer expert and be done with it. It didn?t take too long to find what seemed a line of mountains at her view, the hills covered by the dark clouds.
Given that she has no clue how long she would walk, she decided to march towards the mark that catches her eye in an instant: What seemed a large city surrounded by large black walls.
She soon was able to reach the wall?s wide-open gates, having only a pair of guards guarding the entry from the front, and only gave her a watching glare when she entered the city. When she crossed it, she got frozen by the view inside.
She could see that inside the city was living a lot of people, but what shocked her was that there weren?t humans or elves, or any race she could recognize. No, there were many creatures as dogs, cats, moles, birds, lizards, all in humanoid forms, just like her. But what shocked her the most is that there were dragons, in the same shape as the others!
"Where in Akatosh Head am I?" she exclaimed in her shock and was even not sure if she should be glad or worried that those dragons weren?t starting to jump on her given WHO she is. For now, she is thankful but wary about the non-aggression of those dragons and began searching for a pub where she could find out a few things about this place. It didn?t take long to find one and heads in, straight to the owner of the pub. "Hello" she simply stated to him while reaching for her coin back "Two questions. First: Are those accepted here?" and tossed a few on the table.
The owner just grabbed one of the coins and looked at it. ``We usually use gems as currency, but these coins of gold... maybe. Second question?''
"Where do I find an expert for geography or better magic?" she stated "Got a bit... displaced due to an artefact and have no clue where I am right now." going straight forward with those details of truth "No clue of towns name or which country I am right now."
While she was speaking with the owner, a small group of customers were looking at her at that moment, talking between them.
``Well, I'm not an expert, but maybe I know one or two people that could help you.'' He said. ``I don't know if one of them is still in the country, but maybe you can find the others... if you keep the mind open.''
``Cryptic... how wonderful'' she sighs ``As if I don't deal with it daily'' but shakes the head ``Well that's better than I could hope for. Keep those coins and give me a good mead and a good recommendation where I can find a bed for the night.''
``Okay, but about where to stay the night, the ones I know aren't exactly for a girl like you.'' The owner laughed, going to the kitchen.
``What is he taking me for?'' she muttered while waiting and took a seat and looked around in the tavern to spot troublemakers and trouble. She is not in the mood to be involved either right now so seeing in time is golden for her.
"Hey, miss." She turned around, finding a group of bipedal dogs and cats, alongside what seemed a horse, who seemed to be the one talking. "We couldn?t help but hear your conversation. And my friends and I thought that we could help you."
"And what would be in for you?" she asked simply "Oh and if you think about robbing me... I killed enough groups who tried that old ?Help you rob you? trick."
The group laughed at her as if they weren?t taking her seriously.
"Come on, you don?t need to be so harsh, girl. Maybe we can give you some directions... and in exchange, we could have fun with you. Not many females as you are seen around."
``We Zeraoras were never in big numbers.?? admits Charis ``Not helping that people think that our race belongs to some smugs that stole the divinity of a different race.'' while scratching her neck a little and looks at them ``And fun? Depends but if it is my body I decline. Horses are not my type.''
Then she looks at them ``And about harsh: In my home of Skyrim, you don't live long if you are not willing to kill each day. Be it giant spiders, bears, Falmer or dragons that want to kill everybody who isn't worshipping them as gods.''
Then the horse grabbed her from the arm ``Look, we don't know what you're talking about or whatever is this Skyrim, but you better not make fun of us. You will come with us whatever you want or not!''
Charis looks at her arm and then back at him... unimpressed and with only two quick movements she had his head slammed into the table, with the sound of something breaking before she kicks him to the group of cats and dogs ``Anybody else?''
The horse groaned by the hard-hit, his hand on his nose. "Don?t stay there, you idiots, catch her!"
Soon a pair of dogs running at her with their hands open to catch her. However she was faster and dodged under their grabbing motion and slams into their stomach her fits and for good encouragement to stop acting, covered with electricity, shocking their bodies.
The two dogs fell to the ground unconscious by the shock, but then a pair of cats run at her, just when another dog grabbed her from behind.
Which she answered with a snarl and sued the hold of the dog to jump and bring her feet into a kick the cats? heads, using the momentum to force the dog to overexert to the back, him falling on the ground and forced to let go while she got on the feet and slams his her into the head, cracking the floor before she looks up to see others rushing it and she spoke three words, "Thiid Klo Ul!" and she was suddenly a blur that sends the felines and canines with hits on several painful spots flying before returning to her starting point and cracked her neck with a smirk.
The horse just stood shocked by what he was seeing but looked angry to the remaining members of his gang. "Don?t stay there! She will get out of fuel sooner or later!"
Without knowing it, one of his members was stepping back trying to reach to the door, just when he bumped with something, and when he turned his head around, he got pale by the view.
``It was fun!'' stated Charis smiling ``But I am done playing!'' and took a breath for her next move ``Fus. Ro-''
She was interrupted when she saw one of the canine goons fly to the remaining group, crashing at them and knocking all them, leaving only the horse standing.
``That?s a form to treat a female?'' A voice said, getting the horse's attention, gasping in shock to see who spoke.
She could see that there was a black dragon of red horns and red underbelly and red wings, with yellow eyes. He was wearing a red body long coat with black pants and a black shirt underneath. The pants reach so far down it?s hard to tell if he wears black shoes or black boots, and with a large black sword on his back. This dragon was showing a grin in his face at that moment.
``Th-th-th-the Dark Hunter?! What are you doing here?!'' The horse asked, scared.
"I was just passing, visiting the city for information when I heard the ruckus and saw what was happening." The black dragon answered to the horse.
Charis was coughing and rubbing her neck for having to disrupt the force of a shout, something that always hurt her throat before she cleared said part of her body and stated "Don?t worry too much. I was about to finish them off." she stated to them. And looks at the handwork she made before that dragon came in. While wondering if she should have cutthroats as well to underline her decline.
``I can see that, but I think that with this is enough for today, I'm right?'' He said, staring at the horse.
He didn't say anything and suddenly began to run, leaving his goons behind.
``I supposed it.''
Charis just stood there, and looked in the direction of the kitchen ``How long do I have to wait for my mead? A woman needs to drink at times, you know?''
``You're going to pay for the damage caused in my pub?!'' Yelled the owner, from behind the kitchen's door. To which the Zeraora simply went to the goons, took their money bags and asked ``How much?'' while putting them on the bar ``They are paying for it. And my mead.''
``Just in a moment!''
Seconds later the owner was out with the meal, leaving the meal in the bar. Turning to it, Charis began to eat, not reacting visibly as the dragon took a seat next to her, while she took a big gulp of her drink.
``You really made a big number here, miss.'' The dragon said to her. ``I don't know many females able to do that.'' He turned his head to the unconscious goons.
"It wasn?t my best time either" she stated "Again, I wasn?t aiming for kills" and looked at him "You are the second dragon in my life that is that close to me and not trying to kill me." and she had also no clue why she was even talking to him.
"Oh, really? Then it seems you don?t seem to have been around a dragon for a long time if it is the second time you talk with a dragon." He said with a chuckle.
"No. Every other dragon I ran into or found me wanted to kill me." was her answer and took another bite of her meal "In my home, they are reappearing and killing anybody who isn?T worshipping them. And each other for more power."
She soon noted the confusion's glare in the dragon's face after those words.
Narrowing her eyes slightly she asks ``Tell me if the continent of Tamriel, the land of Skyrim or the name Akatosh tells you anything.''She could see how he slowly shook his head at her own head falls on the table ``Just great! Leave it to a long disappeared race to ruin my week fully! I am now on the other end of Mungus or off Mungus completely?''
He looked at her for a moment. ``Ah, I see. Seems you're from another world.''
She looks up "Yeah. One with dragons that want to rule the world and are the kids of our chief god." she stated, "And I am in the special place of being a kid and grandkid at the same time."
He chuckled a little. ``Tell me about being in `special places'.''
"Oh? Your father is some demi-god and you got from your granddaddy the soul of such demigods as the chosen one, marking you as his kid as well?"
"No, but I?m the twin brother of a purple dragon that, in this world, can use the elements of fire, ice, thunder and earth, at the same time, and be the guardian of this world." He replied to her. "And I just share the ability to use those elements too."
"The first part can be done with most dragon types and normal type Pokemons of my world," she said dryly. "And a purple dragon being a guardian? That would be a LOVELY bit of info for my father." and sighs.
``And he could have saved the world from a more mature, but crazy, evil purple dragon as a teenager?''
"Not sure if dragons had ever teenager years... but it?s expected from me to end the World Ender" she stated "And the funny part is that I have no fucking clue where I find the one thing I need to remove his invincibility." and raised the cub with the mead "To the Dovahkiin who is chosen to kill a world-ending dragon with no clue where to find the most important tool for it." she snarls sarcastically "And being lost in a completely different world thanks to the artefact of a race that has disappeared thousands of years ago but their cities and machines still in prestige form thanks to their smartness. And talking to other dragons without getting killed by them."
``That was the longest `cheers' I ever heard.''
``But a good summary of my problems'' she stated.
"Well, I think I can help a little with your problem of information." He said.
"Oh really?" She asks and glances at him "You got an expert for Dwemer machines on hand?"
``Well, if we talk about experts, I have an idea of who could help you. And maybe it could help you to return to your world.''
"And what would be in it for you to help me?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow "Help kill a monster or so?"
``Well, does something happen to help somebody? After all, for what you said, it is better to send you back to your world quickly.''
"I know. But usually, when people offer help, they have something as a goal as well." she said "Skyrim is quite a throat-cutting like that. No help without returns"
"One, this isn?t your Skyrim. And second, I had my deal with people from other worlds ending here. And trust me, some nasty people would know how people like you reach here. Here are evils that are better to stay here."
``I take your word then. Let's finish here first'' she stated and continued eating ``Oh, and don't die on me. I am not in the mood if the soul absorption deal of those with a dragon soul applies to your kind of dragons as well.''
``You will see that it is pretty hard to kill me.''
``Still claim that to our luck we have to kill some nasty monster to get me home.'' she just stared at him with a chuckle and took the last bite of the meal and drank the remaining mead before she took what was left of the cash of the goons and put it into her spare coin bag. ``So where is your expert we have to find?''
``Just follow me. And by the way, is Spyke.''
``Mine is Charis.''
The Zeraora followed the black dragon Spyke across the city streets and alleys, until reaching what seemed the ruins of a building, with only the arch and the doors standing still.
``This is some kind of joke?''
``Just what I thought the first time I looked at this place.'' Spyke chuckled. ``Just open the door and see.''
She shrugs and opens the doors, seeing no reason to do that because there should be nothing at the other side of those doors in the ruins.
But instead of that, she found herself staring at what seemed the insides of the largest library she could have seen in all her life, with lots of shelves, books and scrolls in her view.
She blinked and stepped out to check if she is really going to the right now before moving in and looks around ``Dang. I bet if my father knew about this place, he would instantly have every asset he has sent out to gather a complete copy of it.''
``Welcome to the Great Library.'' Said Spyke entering with her. ``And doubt your father could try to do something if he knew who is the real owner of this place.''
``As if you know him'' she huffed ``He is in a constant fight with Hermaeus Mora regarding who has more knowledge gathered. One more enemy in his seeking of dominance over political power and knowledge is nothing new for him.''
``Well, after you return back to your world, tell him to be lucky dealing with an Abyss Lord.'' He just replied to her.
``You think I?m going to tell him that? We aren't on speaking terms.'' she rolls her eyes ``So where is the daedric lord of this place?''
``I don't think we're speaking of the same topic, but who we're looking at isn?t a `daedric' as you say.''
She rolls her eyes ``Just tell me how to let the owner know we are here so we can talk with him.'' while putting her hands on the hips ``And should I pull out the object I think is responsible for my presence here?''
``We will meet the one who we must talk to soon enough.'' He said, walking forward. ``Ah, and watch out with the imp!''
She wondered what he meant, just when she felt something pricking her butt, making her shout in pain, soon seeing a small devil with a small trident and laughing while flying away. ``STAY HERE!'' she shouts and reflexively throws one of her daggers and hits him in his butt in return, though it didn't stick so she rushed over and picked up her dagger ``Come back so I can skin you!!!'' and holds out her dagger to it with a glare, pondering if she runs after it or throws her dagger after them.
Suddenly she felt how Spyke grabbed her arm. ``Don't play with it or it will be worse.'' He said and pulled her away with him.
``If he shows up again, he gets my daggers through the body'' she stated with a huff ``So where to find your expert in this maze?''
"I was here before, so I know where to go. And forget the imp, is just a jester but is practically harmless. Trust me, I was one of its victims once the first time I came here."
She just accepts and starts walking after him as he starts moving. And he guided her between the shelves, she soon noticed that the library was also the house of many types of monsters that kept their distance to them, and even saw how some of those monsters moved in and out of some of the books.
After a while, he took her to what could be a large circular table with a small space to access to the inner portion of the table, and near it, there was an old man with medieval robes looking into some scrolls he had at hand.
She raised an eyebrow and whispers ``If I wouldn't know it better, I would have thought he is a Greybeard.''
"Hey, old man," Spyke called the Librarian, but the old man didn?t react to his call. "Sorry, when he gets engrossed in a task, it?s like talking to a wall."
``Let me try something'' she mused and cleared the throat and roared ``Drem Yol Lok!'', shaking the space a little.
That was enough to take the old man from his trance startled. ``What in tarnation?!''
"I know. I was informal with a proper Dovah greeting... but I doubt you would have liked a fire breath on top of the shaking shout," she stated simply with a bow of respect.
The old man left the scrolls at hand on the table, walking to them. ``Oh, Spyke, what a surprise see you here. I'm sure you're looking for some information, right?''
``Yeah, you're right, but now I have something else at hand.'' He replied at the Librarian.
The Librarian just noted the Zeraora's presence. ``Oh, and who might you be, miss?''
Testing a bit how much he knows, she simply said "Zu?u Charis, Nol fin land keizaal do Tamriel"
Spyke looked at her confused by the language she used, while the old man stared at her thoughtfully.
``Mmm, it has been a lot while since the last time somebody spoke to me in that language...''
"I am slightly surprised the dragon here doesn?t know Dovahzul." mused Charis with a grin. "It literally means dragon voice after all."
"Well, the Dovahzul isn?t a language spoken here, at least in our world." The old man replied. "And I?m surprised to see somebody of Tamriel here, but never expected to be a Pokemon."
``Helps my father, a Dovah himself, had... a thing of mating with Pokemons'' she stated and rolled her eyes ``And Akatosh decided to throw in a piece of his essence into me as well.''
``No, no, no. What I mean is that I never heard of Pokemon in that world.'' Was his reply.
To which she blinked "But it?s common fact that Arceus helped the Nine stabilize the world after its original creator left, creating that way the sun." was her shocking reply
``Okay, now I'm a little lost here.'' Suddenly said Spyke, having enough of hearing of topics that makes nonsense to him.
``Is simple. Seems that your friend is from another dimension. That could explain why in her dimension the Pokemon exist in her world, while in our dimension don't.'' The Librarian explained.
"Dwemer Tech. Always good for headaches" she stated and took out the cube "Found this in a big room with only this on a pedestal. Got close, it glowed next thing I found myself on a field with the city in view. Didn?t glow or react since then."
The Librarian looked at the cube for a while. ``Mmm, I see...''
``Do you know how to get it on?'' asks Charis ``Do we have to do something, like collecting a very rare plant, get something from an ancient tomb, collect soul gems or cutting the heads off from a very specific cove of witches?''
``Just tell me, where you found this cube?''
"A surprisingly empty Dwemer ruin. Just a long and dark tunnel ending into a big and lighten up one hall with this thing the only object alongside a pedestal." she stated, "The ruins themselves are at the north-western coast of Skyrim and were only found by chance by a fisher."
``A strange place to leave something like this indeed.'' and he saw her look at him of expectation. ``But still, I think I can help with it.''
``That?s great. What needs to be done?'' she asks with a big grin.
"I think I can do something, but what worries me are the side effects of this artefact."
``Which is?'' she asks with a deep sigh and crosses her arms, having already expected something would sour her luck.
"To begin, I have an idea of why this kind of artefact was hidden. Look, this object allows not only to travel between worlds but also between dimensions. But was not used because.... well, leave me to explain this to you." He said.
"Look, when you use this artefact, it transports you between dimensions by basically making a rift between both points that close after using it. That?s normal, but the problem is that to cross between dimensions, you have to go through the Limbo."
``Wait, the Limbo?'' Spyke asked in shock.
``And for the Laie of the threesome we have right now?'' deadpans Chairs with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow.
"The Limbo is some dimension, a prison, where the souls of the evilest creatures are trapped, punished to never reincarnate. There you can find all kinds of immortal souls that can?t die, and could resurrect with sinister methods if they escape from it." The old man replied.
"This artefact basically makes a rift that connects the Limbo to the destination point, and for what I read. Every time this artefact was used, a soul from the Limbo escaped. After knowing this, they hid the artefact to be never used and forgotten."
"Typical Dwemer. Hiding instead of crashing." she stated simply with a shaken head "But what I don?t get why such an insecure hiding place."
``That I don't know.''
``Hey, old man, you don't think what could this mean?'' Spyke asked.
``If `he' has used this chance to escape? Yes, I'm sure he could be the first one to escape using that route and come to our world.''
"Who are you talking about?"
``Drakath...'' Spyke murmured to which Charis just spread her arms as this name doesn't ring a bell to her.
"Drakath is what you could consider a dracolich. In the past, he was one of the Ancestors, a group of master dragons that governed us in the past. Drakath was the mentor of what we would call the ?Dark Master? in the future but was judged because he attempted to obtain immortality using sacrilegious methods and was punished to burn. But he survived, turning himself into bones and escaped."
"And for millennia he ruled this country, Mortus Valley, using every kind of demonic creature he could summon. Fortunately, he was finally destroyed by Spyke, here present." The Librarian looked at the black dragon.
``But I had help then, even when I wanted to say that I did it alone.'' He replied.
"But later we found that his soul was trapped in the Limbo and that he had to deal with him the few times he was summoned by his acolytes."
``And now because I thought I found some good loot, I released him.'' she stated and gave a sigh ``Compared to the dragons of my home. How hard is he to kill?''
``Think on a dracolich able to use dark magic and teleport himself.''
"So a dragon skeleton that can switch places instantly and use destruction magic?" she asks and tilts her head "Doesn?t sound that troublesome. What?s the catch?"
"For a start, forget about smashing his bones." stated the man to which she raised an eyebrow at him, as she had now slight wonder WHY smashing would be a bad idea.
``But the question here is... where he could hide?'' Spyke asked.
To which she just asks ``Does he have a habit of possessing or mind control people?''
"He never showed that ability before," Spyke replied.
``Maybe I know where he could hide?'' The Librarian said, catching the attention of the two.
``Yeah? And where?''
``Just wait.'' He said and left, soon returning with a map, extending it on the table.
Looking at the map, Charis could deduce that it was showing the country where she was, and she could see that the whole country was surrounded by a ring of hills blocking any way in and out of the country, except a path from the south and a river crossing the south too. The map also shows the city where she was, on the west. A forest with an isolated temple at the north of the city, a large hill at the northwest area, a lake on the southwest, a temple surrounded by forest at the southeast area, a volcanic zone at the northeast area, a lone temple around the centre, and the image of a large fortress just north of it.
"If I?m sure, the only place where Drakath could hide after returning would be in his old castle." The Librarian signals the castle?s image.
``The problem is that the castle is in ruins even after he was defeated!'' Exclaimed Spyke.
``But surely the underground areas would still be intact.'' He countered. ``At least part of it.''
"Too many bad guys want the ruins if they have no other place to go." shrugs Charis "Even Deadra. Believe me. Killed enough of those in the past 30 years."
``Yeah, but usually the acolytes tend to reunite there when they know that the Dark Hunter isn't around.'' He replied.
``So he got followers there. Then we should head over and start dealing with things'' replied the Zeraora with a nod while rolling her shoulders
``Oh, if Drakath's there, the acolytes will be the less of our troubles.'' The black dragon said with a grin.
``Killed necromancers that wanted to resurrect a mad necromancer queen, and had to fight through her undead army and her ghost shortly afterwards to get rid of her.'' smirked Charis back ``So I would consider our situation a good step up to that experience.''
``Then be my guest.'' He shrugs.
``Lead the way.'' she simply stated ``I am not from here after all.'' while spreading with an amused grin.
He nodded and began to move, with her following him, out of the Library and out of the City. Out in the fields, they directly followed the path towards their goal, a trip that will take some hours to at least spot the ruins.
As they saw the ruins, Charis whistled ``Wow! If I go by size alone, I think we need at least three or four more hours until we even reach it.''
``Well, we're lucky that we didn?t get any monster hindering us.''
``You know that could count as jinxing?'' she stated while raising an eyebrow, having been surprised herself of the lack of attacks but knew why she didn't state it yet.
``Don't talk to me about jinxing. I had my problems with that in the past.'' He replied. ``As when I was following that fiendish time demon...''
"I am not asking how that went" was the simple answer "Now let?s see that we get over there."
The duo finally reached the castle's ruins, Charis figuring that when the castle was intact, it would be an amazing structure, if you ignored the former owner. ``A reason nobody tried to take it as their own new home?'' she wondered.
``If you knew the tales of the most terrifying villain you have ever heard in your world, who nearly destroyed the world, you would dare to live just where the one responsible for creating him lived before?''
``Look at the last few thousand years of Tamriel and you'd be surprised.'' was her simple reply ``You cannot think how many world conquerors and destroyers called various places home.''
``Different worlds, different people.'' He said. ``Of course, many people believe that the place is haunted since then.''
``Ok. That?s a good reason. Not everybody has the nerve to fight ghosts. Or have the right tools to do so.'' nodded Charis with a nod ``Remember my first time dealing with ghosts... accidentally destroyed the house in question for overdoing with the electric power.''
``Well, dealing with ghosts and demons are my speciality.''
``Give me Thalmor and bandits anytime.'' she shrugs as they walk and soon reaches the foot of the walls surrounding the castle... and the greeting company made of creatures Charis never saw before were already waiting.
``Looks like somebody expected us'' mused the electric type and drew one of her swords and it crackled slightly with electricity as she grinned.
``Yeah, that seems.'' He said taking the sword from his back. ``Okay, you take care of the ones of the left?''
She mused ``What? You want to fight as well?'' she jokes and smirks ``Keep up boy'' before darting forward in high speed and reaches soon the first creatures and their cut bodies are flying three seconds afterwards, announcing the carnage she is about to deliver.
"This girl is really quick." He mused, just before vanishing in an explosion of black smoke, to appear between the creatures, with his sword ready. "But I have my tricks too." He said, before doing a circular smash with his huge sword, slashing every monster around him with an only sweep.
That they, despite their different pacing, they are keeping up with each other, though it was clear Charis didn?t use her full arsenal yet. Saving them for the real fighting. The last monster got the head cut off before she shouts "Fus Roh Dah! And sends the body through the gates of the castle.
``If they didn't know we're here still, now they know it.'' He comments after hearing the shout.
``And?'' she asks with wonder ``Made the killing easier by making them come to me.''
``Yeah, you're right about that.'' agreed Spyke while Charis sheats her sword and draws two of her daggers ``Anybody who comes with electricity is automatically mine until they wise up!''
``And why? It's that you can null electricity?''
``Better. Absorb and heal from it'' she grins to him.
``Well, if you need a shoot, just call.'' He snaps his fingers, causing a spark of electricity on them.
``I keep in mind'' she smirks and turns as she sees the first ones rushing towards them ``Well I think the fun starts now!'' and twirled their weapons for a moment.
"Yeah, that seems." He prepares his weapon for the attack though before he could react she was at the group already and were cutting them apart with the daggers, seemingly to juggle three daggers, two always in her hands, the third being in the air to stick in somebody before pulled out again for the next target. "Come on! At least leave me that big one!"
Spyke rushed to the bigger one of the group, wrapping his arm in flames while showing a smirk before jumping to the large monster?s head. At that moment he punched it with his fist in flames, soon causing a brutal explosion that sent the monster flying away.
``Neat hit!'' she told him while sheathing one dagger and pulled from the head of the last monster she killed the one slammed in out again, cleaning it with a quick swipe over the creatures fur.
``And this isn't the end?'' He said, and in her eyes saw how his sword began to form stone, soon turning the weapon into a huge stone club that slammed to the ground, causing a large quake and smashing the ones caught with it.
She jumped at the wall and runs along with it, while sparks are escaping her feet before jumping off and kicks the closes she is reaching hard enough that the neck made a nasty cracking sound, followed with a roundabout kick to the next monster, sending it towards Spyke?s blade before returning to the blade dancing ending this round with a shout again, this time sending a torrent of flames down the corridor that burned everything in reach to ashes.
``Really, you're a box of surprises.''
"Eh. Wait until I pull the really game-changing ones out. Then you can say that" she just smirks to him with a deep chuckle.
``We will see.'' He replied.
The two continued walking into the castle ruins, finding a way underground, and soon found a corridor, noting a figure standing on their way.
Spyke was smiling for the next battle, but then inspected the figure, narrowing his eyes after what he saw. It was an armoured skeleton by only seeing the skull, but what worried him was the armour itself, which was covered with red strips of fabrics, armed with a huge hammer weapon designed as a large aspergillum.
``You gotta be kidding me...'' Spyke murmured seeing their next enemy. Looking over that one, Charis tilts her head ``That... is a weird one.''
"Yeah, I can verify it." He said and turned to her. "I would leave you this one after all this one uses electricity, but I know this kind of guys, and aren?t pushovers."
Charis rolled her head ``You are aware that you made a certain type of implication regarding me?''
``I'm just warning you.''
"Let?s deal with him together anyway. The faster he is dead the faster we can have to the fun ones" mused Charis and switches her daggers for her two swords.
``Okay.'' He said to her, grabbing his sword.
When the two were closer, the skeletal warrior slammed his weapon against the ground, as a warning to begin the fight.
"Time to dance~" she smirks to him and sprints forwards with her blades in a reverse grip.
Spyke ran with her against the armoured skeleton, just to stop on their track to avoid a heavy swing of the weapon, used as a heavy hammer, damaging the wall with the strike.
"Good swing here" she whistles before grinning "Bad he is telegraphing" before moving in, striking the enemy to test the armour and openings before she rolls aside to avoid a down blow of the weapon, to which she follows up with a swipe of her dagger, cutting deep into the opening of the torso and used her rest momentum to kick into the new wound as well.
But the skeleton didn't feel pain from those attacks and began to swing its weapon, and began to spin while going to them, at the same time that charges electricity on its weapon, forcing the two to jump aside to avoid being struck by that attack.
"So stubborn as ever," Spyke said, grabbing his weapon and covering it in ice giving it a longer range.
"I give your people one thing... studier walking skeletons." admits the electric type "In Skyrim, it would be broken by now."
"I?d appreciate the compliment if that was originally from here." He said, confusing the female Zeraora for a moment.
He rushed at the armoured skeleton and began to hit at every spot he could strike while avoiding the undead?s weapon swings, at times blocking them and keeping the distance with it.
Charis then rushes over and jumps over one swing and delivers a brutal kick towards the head, trying to remove it or at least the helmet from the rest of the body. Fortunately, the helmet got flying after that hit.
``Hey, would you keep that weapon low?'' He said, seeing the skull vulnerable. To which Charis gave a grin and at a good point, she grabbed on the weapon, and shoved her body weight on it, causing a disbalance on the enemy as it had to handle a sudden change of the weapons balance.
With that window opened, he jumped, changing the ice of his blade with rocks and turning it into a heavy club, he slammed the weapon on the skeletal enemy, breaking the skull and making the body to knell, just before a sudden bolt from the body destroyed the remains.
Charis looked at the ashes while rolling her shoulder "One. That last blast had nasty tasting thunder. Two. What do you mean it?s not from here? Is it from a different world like me?"
``You will believe me if I said that I had my share of going to different worlds?'' He asked her with a grin.
``Given my situation?'' she asks ``I must be crazy not to.'' while shrugging and looking again at the spot, ``I only regret not having a proper loot from this guy.''
"For beginners, this guy?s remains was a member of a group called the ?Anointed Legion?." He began. "Elite guards under the orders of a batshit insane religious Leader."
``Go on.'' She replied.
"Time ago, when I was chasing a demon, suddenly both were transported to another world. With no trace of my target, I looked around, and soon got an idea of what was going on there." He said, looking at the female. "Look, in this weird place, called Cvstovia, there was some kind of deity which they called ?the Miracle?, which could turn people into saints or monsters if wanted, but I just see it as a manipulative bastard in my opinion. Then I found that this world was suffering by one of his ?miracles?, which turned all the religious main power in the land into monsters, and their leader, believing to be the will of this Miracle, he sent every monster turned by this to terrorize everyone in the country, ?by lack of piety and faith? how they said."
"It didn?t take me too long to find that there was somebody who was trying to put an end to that madness, a guy with a sword. You can believe if I tell you that was the most silent partner with whom I travelled ever, not a word said in all the travel. At the last, we reached their main cathedral and destroyed both the demon I was looking for and the crazy religious leader. After all that, I was sent back to my world, without knowing what happened after that."
"So either somebody who had quite the silent vote or got the tongue cut" she simply mused and shrugs "Well, I bet you have more stories but now let?s kill that other guy."
"Yes, and I have my suspicions because the skeleton?s armour we faced was used by this leader, as I told you before."
``Which is that we have to face that Milacre next?'' she deadpans while starting to walk forward.
``No, I doubt this thing has power over this world, but still I want to be sure.''
``If it is here, we just shout it to pieces. Or make a deal with a Deadric prince. I bet we find one of them is going to be pissed enough at this thing to help us out of a principle.'' mused Charis ``That?s how I handled some of them in the past.''
He rolled his eyes and began to walk. They continued their way and... aside from the occasional small fry demon they didn't encounter anything until they reached a giant room. A room where Charis had to ask ``Is this room really part of the castle? I have the feeling that takes more space than it should be possible.''
He looked around. The whole room seemed to have some significant details on it. One, there were a lot of broken statues around. Two, there were the remains of the torso or a giant statue, which lacked the head. And three, the whole place seemed to be filled with ashes. Spyke just stared at the headless's statue for a moment.
``I remember this place. Is where I fought that fiend of Medusa here.'' to which he only received an odd look from Charis but she decides to ask later about this Medusa
``So... given you were here before'' she mused ``Any clue where to go next? Or do we have to fight a very nasty monster with some nastier trick?''
He walked around the room. "I can?t believe this place survived partly to the castle?s collapse." He said, but then spotted something behind a statue, and moved it away, finding a symbol there. "Just as I suspected."
``What is?'' She asked, approaching and seeing the symbol, what seemed an eight in right angles, with the long frontal line being wider than the rest. ``You know that symbol.''
"Yes," Spyke replied. "The symbol of the Twisted One." to which he explained. "The symbol of the first Miracle in Cvstovia. I saw these symbols in other places, but never here." He said, walking around. "But there?s always a first time, right?" He asked, looking around. "His Holiness Escribar?"
After those words, the ashes began to float around, as if an invisible wind was moving them.
``I thought that after dealing with you, you would have gone to... how you called? The other side of the forbidden dream?''
``I must admit, that when my life ended that day, I expected to go there.'' Suddenly an old voice was heard around them.
"Taking into account the mess you caused, I?m not surprised you ended in the Limbo," Spyke said. "Pretty dickass this Miracle of yours."
Charis asks ``So... before we banter more and eventually fight: Did you escape with Drakath or was it only you as I got my ticket through that place?''
``When you used that magic to break into the Limbo, I saw an opportunity to leave that place. And now, I'm walking between the living again. I must give you my most sincere gratitude for it.''
``So Drakath didn't escape here.'' He murmured for a moment. ``What are you doing here, then? You're not too far from your world, or your deity?''
``At first, I was surprised to see this world, its lack of piety, its lack of faith. As a loyal servant to the Miracle, I must take his word. And if I take our religion to this corrupted world, then the Miracle will be able to manifest here.''
``Sorry, but I saw how your Miracle works, old man!'' Spyke said. ``Maybe this world isn't perfect when we talk about religions, but that?s better than to have that jerkass deity of yours here! He has no will here!''
"My young child." The voice said, referring to Charis. "Thanks to you, I?m free from that prison, and I?m willing to reward you by your help. If you stay at my side, I will concede more power than you have ever seen in your world.
``I think I am sticking to something a guy told me once: I already have more power than most people who aren't immense fire-breathing monsters!'' she stated to him simply while drawing her two blades ``And by Arkatosh. I bet you never saw anybody with my might!''
``Seems that you're made your decision then.''
Then from the ashes appeared what seemed an old man of red skin inside of what seemed an armour that seemed to be based in the robes of a high ranked cleric, armed with a golden dagger on a hand.
``Now, may your sword of black silver, yours of ancient, and mine of gold, collide.'' Said the creature, Escribar. ``Let them hurt and march in procession.''
``I curse you forever in name.''
``I bless you forever in death.''
After those words, Spyke prepared his weapon for the incoming battle. Charis was first on the move as usual and rushed towards the old man and swung her swords towards the opponent, expecting that he either tried to dodge or counter with whatever magic this cleric wields.
Escribar just covered himself with his cape and disappeared in the ashes just when her weapon was to hit him.
``I hate that he can teleport.'' Spyke cursed, looking around.
"Tell me about it. Had my share to mages that run with that too often." was her grunting answer to his statement, and looked around to find the priest, twirling her blades a little to loosen up a bit and spot him "Behind you!"
When he turned around, he saw the old man making an eight pattern with his hand, soon making it appear in front of him while holding his dagger with both hands while forming a barrier around him, and soon fireballs began to fall over them.
``Really, the tricks of this guy are old!'' Spyke said, jumping to avoid one of the fireballs. She was rolling on the ground to avoid one of the balls and let her sword drop... and with a quick and often exercised movement she drew one of her four daggers and tossed it towards their enemy.
The weapon hit him directly, nulling his barrier and getting open to attacks, first having to avoid the fireballs to be able to get near him. Charis, after picking up her discarded blade, was already moving alongside with Spyke to get that hit they wanted before any funny tricks could be pulled.
They were lucky to give some slashes with their weapons at Escribar, just before he disappeared again between the floating ashes. Giving a snarl, Charis sheathed one of her swords and picked up her dagger ``I know people don't want their throat cuts but some need it really badly for the health of others.'' she muttered and looked around for their adversary.
They kept looking, until bolts began to fall around them, and soon discovered the old man doing his magic, this time summoning the bolts under his shield?s protection. To which the Zeraora only smirked before starting to rush without care towards the "holy man" and only just before she reaches him, a bolt of lightning crashes into her location.
Who in turn opened his mouth to start berating the foolish woman, only for coughing in surprise as he saw her coming out of the strike unharmed and slashes his shield with her sword, following up with slashing her dagger, charged with electricity for extra pain.
"Bad idea using that." smirks Charis and then follows up to her strike with quick "Fus Roh Dah!" to send the old man flying from the pure force called by the reality-bending might of Dovahzul
After falling hard, the old man stumbles while standing up, getting ready to make one of his spells.
``Oh no, you don't!''
Spyke teleported behind Escribar and used his blade to slash him, which made the old man disintegrate into ashes, while the ashes floating around began to fall down.
"So, this is really the Miracle?s will?" The old man?s voice was heard the last time, before getting silent.
"And you, of course, can teleport as well" she stated with a raised eyebrow.
``Well, I prefer to call it `Shadow Jump', you know.'' He said. As she saw, when he does that, an explosion of black smoke appears where first was, and then another where he appeared.
"Still pretty much the same thing: Bringing you in an instant from one point to another," she stated with a shrug
``Say whatever you want, okay?'' He replied. ``But now the work's over.'' He now looked around.
``Yeah... too bad that is not like Skyrim. Else there would be now a chest with riches we can take with us.'' mused Charis ``Or some kind of trophy I can show off at the next inn I go into.''
``You want to show that you killed a crazy religious old man?''
"I want to show off that I killed a crazy and dangerous man who wanted to force his religion upon others" she smirked "Same truth without the subcontext that he might have been "defenceless" due to being old."
"Well, if you put it that way, you can take one of those bricks with the symbol if you want." to which she looked and picked up but mused as she threw it away "Too bad his dagger is busted. Would make it much showier."
Then she shrugged ``And once again a story without a trophy to show off. Too bad really.''
"Trust me, not everything is getting trophies to show off," Spyke said. "Look at me, I hunted monsters and demons for nearly all my life, and the only ones of which I presume are the big shots. Really, really, big shots."
``Eh, perhaps I get some nice souvenirs from this world before heading back to put them into my room.'' she shrugged simply and then rubs her chin ``I just recall... I should check in again. Has been a year since I ensured my housecarls are alright and doing well.'' while heading towards the exit before stopping as she felt a shake on the ground and looked down carefully.
``What happens now?'' He asked, walking to where she was.
"I just felt... a shake on the ground" and knelt down and put a hand on the floor, feeling the shake again "If we were in Skyrim... I would say an Onix is tunnelling under this place..." and shakes her head "But that cannot be... so unless you got tunnel monsters, we should head back to your friend and tell him what happened here."
"I think we should leave this place. It has suffered enough pressure, and with the attacks of that old nut head..." to which she agreed... as she starts noticing that new cracks are starting at the floor of where she stood and at the walls. Before grabbing his hand "Hold tight on me. I am going to do something crazy."
``Wait, how craz-'' but she shut him off by shouting first into the air, to which time seemed to slow down... before she followed with a second one and was dashing like mad forward, dragging Spyke with him, and she keeps on shouting the second one until they were at the other side of the outer walls, and only then time seems to return to normal... as parts of the ruins are breaking apart.
While Charis was coughing madly while rubbing her now sore throat as she rarely is shouting so much on one day... or in such a short time.
Spyke began to look around in confusion for a while.
``You're kidding me? Can you use Time Element?'' Spyke scratches his head. ``I thought that the eggplant head of Spyro was the only one able to do that!''
"Time element?" she asks with a rough voice while looking for her water bag "That was only a combination of" and as she found it drank a lot of the water inside "Of the slow time shout and whirlwind sprint shout... for any other time manipulation I don?t have the appropriate shout" and drank some more and rubs her throat "Still sore... doubt I can shout any more for the day."
``Really, all your magic in your world relies on shouts? You must end up hoarse at the end of the day.'' Spyke commented looking at her.
She shakes her head "Only the might of the Dovahs require shouts. The rest." and she holds up a hand and a fireball floats above it "requires the use of mana."
``Okay, got it...''
"Now lets head back... " she croaked while still rubbing her throat and started heading towards the town.
Hours later, they were back in the Great Library and told their discovery to the Librarian.
"Are you saying that the one who escaped wasn?t Drakath, but Escribar?" He asked them after hearing the story. Charis nodded to this and then drank a tea she had gotten for her throat.
"That?s right. I was surprised when we found that but figured it out after dealing with one of his elite bodyguards," stated Spyke to him with a nod. THen Chairs looks pointy at the Librarian.
``Well, and about your problem miss, I think I have a solution to take you back." explained the old man to which Charis looks at him with renewed interest, to hear his explanation. "Maybe I can get the help of somebody for this but will take a while to get everything ready." which earned him a groan from the Zeraora and a sigh as she nodded in understanding. And drank the rest of her tea.
"Well." she croaked "IT cannot be helped." before coughing a bit "Bed here or inn?"
"I think I know an inn in the city," Spyke spoke to her. To which she nodded and gestured to him to guide her the way while standing up.
An hour later, the two were in an inn, at least with good standards and once in a room, Charis took off the armour, wearing only some bands and checked her equipment and belongings if anything got damaged during that adventure. Spyke just sat in the chair in the same room, only because that room was the only one available at that moment.
Her armour had some scratches and in one case a dent but nothing she couldn?t fix. The weapons were only in need of cleaning before she put all of them aside and laid down with the hands behind her head with a grin.
"I have to admit it, you fought really well back there," Spyke said to her.
``Thanks'' replied Charis ``And you were not bad with your sword as well.'' she grins to him.
``Thanks.'' He replied. ``It took years to be this good.'' He said, standing up. ``And if you don't mind, I think I will take a shower here. You don't know how useful this invention is and the word itself, `shower'.'' He chuckled for a moment, before getting inside the bathroom.
"Shower?" she asked and sat up "What is a Shower?" and tilts her head in confusion. "Is that a different word for a bathtub?"
``It was invented some years ago. Just think of it as a house-made waterfall.'' He replied from inside the bathroom. ``Casually this is the only inn in which this thing was installed.
She looks at him in wonder. "I haven?t seen an aqueduct or redirected river leading to this inn. How can this "shower" work in this building without either?"
``I don't know, something related to `pipes' or something like that...'' she looked more confused and stood up before going to him ``Show me!'' she stated to him.
``Hey!'' He yelled, having taken his upper clothes off and being near to take his pants off.
``What? I just want to see it. Not going to bath with you'' she stated to him simply while crossing her arms.
"Well..." He just murmured in a low voice. "Is that thing over there." He said, signalling to the cabin. Raising the eyebrow, Charis went towards it, saw the knobs... and curiously she put her hands on the knobs and tested how they were working, soon beginning to fall water from a water outlet with many small holes, falling over her.
``Wow. That?s really something'' she whistles ``Should tell some friends of mine to explain that connection... bet they can do something with that.''
``Have you finished?'' He asked, making her turn around. ``The water that can fall is limited, so if you don't mind...''
``Oh. Sure'' she nods and moves away to let him take the shower while heading out of the room, deciding to try it later for herself.
And after a while, Spyke got out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel covering his lower body, and Charis decided to go and test this shower thing. Which she really enjoyed with the mix of this "Shampoo" getting her fur a cleaning she wasn?t able to give for weeks. Sighing loudly and in the content of the temperature, surprised by how it could control it, until she was ending it, humming to herself as she moved out of the shower and used the towels to dry herself.
And when she got out of the bathroom, she found that Spyke was taking a nap on the bed, still having the towel covering part of his body. Seeing this she shrugged and tossed her towel over a chair and moved towards the mirror and checked over her body to see if there is anything that needs her attention to take care off... but couldn't find anything on her search, while unintentionally posing around.
Spyke was still on his nap without noting the female posing near. She looked at the black dragon for a while, until she had an idea and smirked.
As Spyke was waking up he felt a tickling feeling between his legs and as he turned to look, he saw that Charis were busy with his two prides... by holding the tip of her fingers close to them and give it slight zappings with her electricity
``Hey? What are you doing?'' He asked, resisting the urge to react at the zaps.
``Just finding it curious you are related closer to a snake than the argonians'' she smirked to him with a chuckle while giving another zap to his dicks.
He rolled his eyes after hearing that comment from his cocks. He has heard that too many times that now just tries to ignore it. She chuckles loudly and whispers a word and blows an ice breath against them next and smirks.
``What are you really trying to do? Arouse me? Because you will need more than that weak use of elements for that.''
She looks at him "Want a thunder level shock or what?" she deadpan to him while looking at him "Those hurt for sure."
He narrowed his eyes. ``Have you ever used your mouth before?'' to which she looks at him ``Nah. Don't like the taste.''
``Come on, really?'' He tilted his head. ``Then hope you're good with the hands at least.''
``Oh... handjob you want?'' she mused ``Well...'' she mused while moving her fingers over his lengths and poke a little against his balls ``That can be arranged'' she smirks to him with a chuckle.
He just smiled looking at her. ``Then go on, miss.'' to which she starts rubbing his lengths with one hand, squeezing them from time to time while the other hand was busy fondling his balls, and gave them stimulating shocks to tickle them slightly.
He murred with small moans as she stroked his two cocks and fondled his balls with her hands. To which she continued with all this with a smirk and even added scratches all of this to turn on more. Though she did wonder how to pull off one of her normal tricks on him... as she never had one with two dicks before.
He continued moaning while she kept playing with his two cocks, and with a smirk he moved his draconic tail below her, rubbing her pussy with it. She gave a small shiver and mused "Quit the eager boy here." and squeezed and shocked both dicks at once for maximum stimulation without pain.
He groaned with the work she was doing with his cocks while his tail kept rubbing her pussy. And after a while, his two cocks were full hard, of nearly a foot size each one.
She took a deep breath ``Wow... now I have to think how to take those'' she muttered, not being used to having to deal with two at once.
He just chuckles at her. ``I can help you with that if you want.'' He said, and without warning he grabbed her and pushed her against the bed, he being on top of her with a grin before moving down and rubbed her pussy with his hand.
Gasping loudly "Hey! Want to risk defence moves?" she asks him while giving a shiver
``Any problem with that?'' He asked back, rubbing her pussy and sliding some fingers inside it.
She grunted loudly "YOu have no idea how many tried to force me to that... little jumpy here," she told him, and shivered more upon his work on her body.
"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, I could stop." He said, while still fingering her pussy. She shivered loudly as he did that, which gave the answer to this indicated question, and smiling he kept fingering her pussy for a while. And she groans loudly and starts reaching up to his head and grabbed on one of his horns, pulling down to her chest.
In that position, he began to lick her small breasts with his tongue while still fingers her pussy. ``The only bad thing is that your breasts aren't bigger.'' He commented, while still licking her breasts.
``That?s the first time I heard that'' she groaned loudly and scratches the back of his head while rubbing his arm.
He keeps licking her breasts and fingering her pussy, enjoying her groans. And those groans got louder and she shivered to them.
After some minutes, he stopped and got in front of her. ``Well, you want them in both holes? Or you want to feel both of them in your pussy?'' To which she bit nervously the lower lips... as she had no clue what she should answer as any could be quite a ride for her.
``If you're not answering, then I will choose then.'' He said and grabbed his two cocks, starting to rub the tip of them against her pussy.
``Both of them there?'' she asks ``I... never had that?'' she gulped loudly.
He grinned and kept rubbing both against her pussy, soon beginning to push both cocks against her lower lips. A loud groan came and shivered while grabbing the sheets ``Ohhl...'' and eyes closed at the feeling, while he kept pushing his cocks, soon sliding the head of both through her pussy. Her hands are grabbing the sheets, pulling them as she bit her lips at the intense feeling of two large dicks pushing inside her body.
He kept struggling to get both cocks inside her, sliding them slowly but after a while, both were swallowed by her pussy. She groaned more loudly and shivered "Dang it... " and bit her lower lip while the eyes were closed. The back arched and some sparks ran over her body, some tickling his body.
He ignored the sparks tickling him, and began to thrust his two foot-size cocks in and out slowly. Causing her to groan even more loudly and the eyes are shut, her walls clenching hard on his prides, making him groan at every pound he makes to her lower lips. The sheets were starting to rip under the pull of her gripping claws and her back was starting to ache strongly.
He continues thrusting his two cocks inside her pussy, while moving his torso to her and beginning to lick her boobs. "Suck it" she groaned to him with eyes closed while pulling him harder with her legs. And obviously, he began to suck one of her breasts with his hands while pounding his cocks inside her love hole. And the clenching on his prides gets harder and stronger with every thrust of hers.
``Damn you...'' she groaned loudly in pleasure.
``Eh, no curses.'' He replied, still impaling his cocks inside her harder. And the groaning got louder and her limit closer from the sounds of her groaning.
He kept ramming his two cocks inside her, getting faster and deeper with his thrusts, crossing the cervix with his tips. Then she screams madly and her walls clenched hard while she came around his prides.
He groaned loudly, feeling her walls clenching against his cocks, and reaching his limit he began to shoot his cum from both dicks inside her pussy. To which she took a sharp intake of air and her eyes shot wide as she felt the load washing into her hole, soon getting bloated with his load of cum and swelling her belly with his sheer amount of seed.
``Too... much..'' she shivered and had some tears as it pained her of having so much inside her.
After a while, he stopped to shoot his seed inside her, and after giving out some pants, he took his two cocks from her pussy. "Dang it... " she muttered, "Those balls... can?t believe they have that much... cum..."
``Well... you enjoyed it?'' He said with a smile.
"It was... very... much... too much..." she shivered and laid back tiredly "Gods... don?t think even Xerneas had such a fuck in her life."
``I think I will take that as a compliment.''
``Now... sleep...'' she stated and started dozing off with eyes closed, dozing off
He shrugs and lays at her side.
Hours later she awoke once again from her slumber and with a tired yawn, she moved towards the bathroom... planning to wash the sweat and cum off her body. And after a while, Spyke awakes just when Charis got out of the shower. "Slept well?" she asked while drying herself off and getting her clothes back on.
``Yes, and you?'' He asks her, standing up.
"Get me some tea and I am ready to go" she stated and looks at him "And no, I am not drinking mead in the morning. Even I know alcohol that early is not a good idea."
``You're looking at me as if I liked alcohol, girl.''
"You looked like somebody surprised I don?t start my day with Alcohol." she countered.
``Well, never mind.'' He said. ``I just hope the Librarian has found what needed to take you back home.''
"Breakfast. Then we ask him," she stated to him.
``Good idea.'' He replied to her. And the two went out of the room to grab breakfast from below.
Some hours later, they were back at the Library, where they saw the Librarian near or what seemed a portal built in a hurry. Also, Charis saw that with him was somebody new to her, a female red gryphon with extremely revealing clothes, the largest boobs she saw on a female from a while, and some succubus marks on part of her body.
She looks over at the female and asks Spyke ``Friend of yours?''
He nodded and looked at the female. ``I suppose you're here by the old man, sis.''
``Yes, that's it.'' The female gryphon replied.
Charis glances between the tween and guessed ``Adopted?''
"Yep," he said and walked to the Librarian. She walked along and looked at the gryphon"Hope you have no back pain."
``What? Jealous?'' She asked with a smirk.
``Nah.'' she laughed loudly ``Thought some of my brothers would like to breed ya.''
``I would like it if they are large enough.'' Was her reply.
She shrugs to that ``You need to ask. Never saw any of my brothers naked. But given my...'' she sighed ``Father is a dragon...''
She just raised an eyebrow to her.
"Cross, have you finished talking with her about your male interests?" Spyke called to her, surely to end their conversation.
"Okay!" The gryphon said and moved to aside. Charis eyed her for a moment but decided to keep moving.
"Well, the old man says that with this machine you can return to your world," Spyke said to her.
``Cool. Anything I have to pay attention to? Like suddenly having to deal with new monsters or the like?''
``Nothing of that.'' The Librarian said. ``Sadly we can't control where it will open. It can be in a desert, in the middle of a volcano, inside a house...''
"Given my luck on top of a dragon or one of the deadric realms" she deadpans loudly and stooks a breath "Let?s see what happens."
The Librarian nods and activates the portal, soon appearing runes on the arc, and suddenly creating a purple watery screen inside the arc. She looks at the three "Well. It was nice here. Let?s hope next time we see it?s not a crisis? making." and walks through the portal.
After she went through it and was closed, Spyke spoke to her step-sister. ``Could you convince her to send somebody to her dimension?''
``Convince lady Luxuria to send one of her Succubi Warriors? For why?'' she replied.
"I don?t know, but I have a bad feeling. Just hope to be wrong." He said, don?t take out of his head the fact that Escribar was the one who got to their world, and not Drakath, knowing that he would be the first to return here at the first opportunity.
A sinister cloaked shadow stands in a dark room, with only a mirror on a side of the room. Just at that moment, a door opens and somebody enters inside it.
``Something to inform?'' The cloaked shadow asked the person who was now behind him.
``Yes. The movements are according to plan so far. We can soon start with Phase one. Shall we start dispatching people to take care of the only threat of those plans?''
"We must not hurry. Even if we?re close to beginning Phase one, acting hastily against that threat would call the attention of others to us."
``Of course.'' he bowed and turned around to leave.
When the man left the room, the cloaked shadow moved to the mirror, soon beginning to chuckle for a moment until he began to laugh madly, soon a thunder blight the room from a window and illuminating the shadow's head, revealing a draconic skull with shining eyes on the eye-sockets.
