About this blog

A crossover Fallout 4/Skyrim novelization. The first Dragonborn was too much of a Nord. Courageous to a fault, even stupidly so, he attacked a dragon from the front and paid the price. Kynareth couldn't find another candidate on Nirn, though there was a possibility on another world. An intelligent courageous warrior of great skill who seemed to be everything that Nirn needed. Not waiting to ask permission, Kynareth pulled the candidate from Earth, infusion her with the aspect of Akatosh. After all, that aspect was still on Nirn, just waiting for another hero to take up the mantel.

Chapter Forty-nine – Diplomatic Immunity

“You look, different,” said Delphine when Nora met her at the stables.   “I'm too well known,” said Nora, shrugging her shoulders. “If I'm correct about what you want me to do, I thought I should change my appearance” For this night she had taken on the appearance of a women with snow white hair and brown eyes. She ahd also worked on her movements, so she had the gate of a normal untrained Nord, as long as she concentrated on what she was doing.   The party had already killed

Chapter Forty-eight – The Immortal Coil – Part 1

The first stop of the day was about ten miles from the castle. A short teleport to the nearby road, a place Nora had stood before. Graywinter Watch it was called, a small cavern, its entrance overlooking the White River. People in the area said that the cave was bad news. People had been disappearing near it for the last month, and the guards, rightfully afraid of the supernatural, had refused to investigate.   I wonder what they would do if the Jarl ordered them to check out the caver

Chapter Forty-seven – Expert Mage

Nora spent the next couple of weeks learning everything she could from all the instructors. Tolfdir was pulling double duty as Archmage and Master of Alteration. The Dragonborn absorbed lessons in magic like they were fine wine, taking them all in and making them hers.   Alteration gave her Entomb, letting her place a victim in the ground temporarily and releasing them unharmed. Fabricate Object let her make various things temporarily, including bridges. While Tumble Magnet allowed her

Chapter Forty-six – Unmaking the World

Nora and party appeared about a mile outside of Winterhold, then rode the horses in under the Thundering Hooves spell. To find the townspeople out on the street despite the hour, staring at the swirling force that was playing around the College.   “Put the horses away,” she ordered her friends. “I'm going up to see what's going on.”   “I'm coming with,” said Eldawyn. Sofia hesitated for a moment, then nodded her determination to see this through.   “Okay. Elda and S

Chapter Forty-five Labyrinthian

It took four hours to get back to the college using the teleportation spell. The spell used over half of her magicka on each casting, and transported her, the party and their mounts about fifteen miles. And drained her of all her stamina. She had to rest up a couple of minutes before casting it again. The horses could cover that distance in about twenty-two minutes, while with rest and locating the next target the spell was letting them cover the same distance in three minutes. After four castin

Chapter Forty-four – Mzulft

It had taken the party three days to reach the Dwemer ruins of Mzulft. The sun was beginning to set as they rode up the long row of steps, framed by stone arches, to see the outer portion of the once great city of the Dwemer. Steam rose from pipes, proving that there was still activity going on inside.   “I think we should make camp and go in with the rising sun,” said Eldawyn, looking exhausted on her horse.   Nora knew this mission was of vital importance, and that the cloc

Chapter Forty-Three – Back To School

This trip the Dragonborn decided that Fort Kastav, the old fortress blocking the way through the pass from Windhelm to the ice plains south of Winterhold, needed to be cleared. It was said to be the home to a dozen or more necromancers and their minions. Unlike most bandits that blocked thoroughfares, the necromancers didn't take tribute and allow folk to pass. No, they wanted souls and bodies. The citizens of the region bypassed them through the mountain foothills to the north of the fort. Inho

Chapter Forty-two – Fellglow Keep

The party took on the small coven of vampires that Sybille had aimed them at in Pinemoon Cave. The creatures were strong, fast, and arrogant. The arrogance did not serve them well, and a couple of fireballs took most of them out. Arrows and swords killed the few vampires left, as well as most of their thralls. The few thralls that survived acted as if they were waking from a dream, and Nora felt guilty for the ones they had killed. However, they were standing with the vampires, in some cases bet

Chapter Forty-one – The Shores of Haafingar.

Nora knew she was going to have problems with her new Housecarl as soon as they hit the road running to High Rock. Bandits came out on the road to stop the party, and Jordis spurred her horse ahead at full speed, which became considerably less once she got out of range of Nora.   “Jordis. Come back.”   There was no come back in the young fireball, who slammed her horse into one of the bandits while an expert swing of her sword split the skull of another. Several arrows struck

Chapter Forty – On To Solitude

What had taken seven long days to get to Winterhold from Heljarchen took two and half to get back. There had been some delay as they killed two dragons. The dragons were taken down by a party that had gotten very good at killing dragons. The dragons were still dangerous, and Nora hoped everyone would remember that. A couple of seconds in the breath stream, bearing the brunt of the dragon's power, would spell the end for most. Everyone in the party had multiple enchantments against fire, frost an

Chapter Thirty-nine The Eye of Magnus.

Nora and her Housecarls spent the next morning getting some rest, then Nora went to the Adept level classes that afternoon. She asked Drevis Neloran about her dreams. The Illusion mage cast a spell on her, made some noncommittal sounds, and shook his head.   “I can't think of anything at the moment, since these dreams don't seem to be of magical or Divine nature,” said the Bosmer. “I know these dreams must be disturbing, and I will check my reference materials. Don't give up hope, Nora

Chapter Thirty-eight Under Saarthal

The icy wastes to the west of Winterhold deserved their name. Mile after mile of desolate ice fields, a few feet of snow laid over it.  A first look would leave the observer with the impression that it was lifeless. They would be wrong. There were snow bears, ice trolls, and many large packs of wolves. They preyed on the rabbits and elk that roamed the wastes, feeding on the sparse vegetation of the plains.   They were not a threat to the group. As Tolfdir had said, there were seven ex

“Okay, Nora,” said Faralda, standing a hundred feet away with fire in one hand, the blue of cold in the other. “Now the spells I'm going to throw at you will not be full power. They will cause little harm to you, especially with your enchantments. But they will sting, to let you know you're been hit.”   “I understand,” said Nora, taking a quick look at her surroundings. They were on the roof of the central tower of the College, three hundred feet in diameter and with plenty of room to

Chapter Thirty-six – A Student Again.

Nora walked out of the inn the morning after their arrival, getting her first real look of the town. There were actually more buildings than she had noticed in the darkness of the night, with only the main street illuminated by the curated torches. There must have been nearly a hundred intact buildings, making it the size of a moderate sized town. And ruins that seemed to stretch on forever to the east. Stone buildings, on their sides, walls collapsed. This had once been a great city, and even m

Chapter Thirty-five – Alduin Rising

The party gathered their gear and horses and rode away from Windhelm in mid-morning. Nora wanted to get set up in Kynesgrove well before the time of the dragon rising, maybe scout out the burial mound. And she wanted to get out of Ulfric's city. Not that she thought he would go back on his word, but she wanted to get far away from the man who said he wanted her to be his queen. She didn't want to get tied down with anyone, much less someone she might have to kill someday.   They went t

Chapter Thirty-four – Blood on the Ice.

Not much had changed in Windhelm while they had been away, and Candlehearth Hall was still doing great business in the evenings. Nora had secured the same rooms as before, paying for the three nights she expected to be here before heading over to Kynesgrove and her date with the dragon. Everyone had enjoyed a hot bath, and had gathered in the great room upstairs for meals and drinks. Nora noticed that the serving girls were doing a brisk side business, taking men, and sometimes women, to one of

Chapter Thirty-two - Windhelm

The party started with the dawn from Kynesgrove. The village hadn't been much to impress, though it had seemed pleasant enough. Fifty to sixty houses, nice inn, a blacksmith. And a shrine to Talos out in the open, people gathered around it praying. There was a statue of Talos in Whiterun, of course, and a priest, since Balgruuf didn't allow Thalmor in his city. Nora still wasn't sure how he pulled that off, since it was technically Imperial territory, and the damned elves liked to flaunt their W

Chapter Thirty-one - Across the Steaming Flats

Darkwater Crossing was as before, a small mining town, most of its residents working in the mines or at one of the many smelters that turned the ore into ingots. There were still some people out and about, mostly those too old or not yet of an age to work the mines. The town guard was in evidence, looking over the newcomers. Annekke was recognized and received greetings from the guard and people. After all, she had helped find the mine this town was built around.   “I'll only be a mome

They had left Whiterun on the morning of the fourth day, prepared for a long journey away from the comforts of home. Nora had commissioned some new equipment, based on designs from the Commonwealth, or things she had seen in adventure magazines before the war. None of it had been ready when they went after the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, drat the luck. It had been ready for them when they headed out this time, and they carried all of her inventions with them. The entire party was wearing waxed le

Chapter Twenty-nine Whiterun Reunion

Balgruuf arranged for an intimate meal after Nora appeared at the palace. Intimate in his private quarters, but still enough to feed the party their fill. Even Nora. She regaled them of tales of the road, of taking down vampires, dragons and Falmer, finishing with tending to the Dark Brotherhood.   “You have done much good, Thane Nora,” said the Jarl with a smile. “And I approve of all your actions on my behalf. You are a good friend to have, and a terrible enemy.”   Nora, of

Chapter Twenty-eight Riverwood and Delphine

They rode into Riverwood an hour after dark. Nora had thought about setting up camp, but the sign on the road stating that the town was five miles ahead decided her. Bathing in the cold river was all well and good, but she wanted to relax in a hot bath. The town was as before. Less than a thousand people, most in their homes enjoying an evening meal, some few still about on some task or other. People recognized her and waved, shouting greetings which she returned.   I'm almost home, sh

They rode into Falkreath, the capital of Falkreath hold, about one in the afternoon, pushing the horses. To find that the wagon hadn't arrived. That was frustrating, and Nora wasn't sure what she should do. Well, she couldn't take the search to the air without the suit.   “Should we start the search without if?” asked Annekke, trying to calm Nora down.   “No, dammit. Without the sensors it won't do any good.”   “Well,” said Valdimar, looking down at Nora from horseb

Nora took the morning shift after catching a few hours’ sleep, waking Eldawyn to stand watch with her and leaving Valdimar snoring away. The man had given his all, as usual, and Nora chuckled as she saw the same grin that she carried gracing the face of the elf. Sore and relaxed, she knew she might pay for the lack of sleep later, but for now she rode the tingle that continued to course through her skin.   “Not a match for Auryen,” said Eldawyn, taking her first swig of wine for the da

The next day the party was up early, packing up what they had brought with them to the palace. They would stop by the blacksmith's to pick up their armor, then make their way out of the city. Nora had counted her funds, and found that between them the companions had under a thousand coins, as well as five of the smaller gems. That would be enough for now. She would need to do some more dungeon delving on the way down to Falkreath to make sure the future was financially secure.   “Did S
