Dragonborn Saga

d as he was caught, “Don’t mention it.”

Still, the two had their minds filled with questions after that conversation.

“So…” He spoke first.

“Yes?” She turned to him.

“What about the Aurbis (Universe) itself? The Tower and the Wheel and all this? We are not out of it, right?” He asked.

“The Clockwork City’s exact location is shrouded in mystery, with the city itself being described as a [metaphor made manifest].” She said.

“That’s somehow scary.” He laughed in a worried voice.

“Yes.
I agree.” Laaneth nodded but she soon looked at the bright side of their ordeal, “But it’s said Sotha Sil died two centuries ago.
Still, the machines he built may still be active.
I assure you this is going to be fun.”

“Let’s agree to disagree.”

Just as Glymet said those words, Laaneth bumped into him as she wasn’t looking ahead.
Just before she was about to ask what was going on, she saw it with her own eyes.

Machines… No! Animals!

Animals made machines as if a mix of organic matter and metal.
They looked sickening and totally monstrous as if a mishmash of all sorts of humans, animals, and monsters was put together.
Some bipedal, some quadrupedal, and some were even tripedal and pentapedal.

Once these “things” spotted Glymet and Laaneth with their human/monster faces and multiple misplaced eyes, a moment of silence was exchanged before those things started shrieking madly.

*SCREECH!*

Hundreds of unidentifiable monstrosities rushed madly from every possible angle, some crawled even and some hopped disorderly.
What they all had in common, however, were the fangs and teeth opened wide and aiming for the tender meat they just spotted.

Immediately, Laaneth set up a “Circle of Protection” spell and started to repel the waves of those mad creatures while Glymet was sword in hand and spell in another, circling around Laaneth, and dropping down all the monsters in his way.

The two of them were fast and efficient but they were overwhelmed with sheer numbers.
They had no place to retreat to and the monsters seemed mindless with rage and hunger.

Glymet was bitten a few times and the bites of these creatures seemed acidic and poisonous.
He had enough Flame Aura within him to overwhelm any foreign bodies that may try to harm his constitution but he wasn’t sure he would walk away from this fully unscatched.

But just as he lost his focus and a large monster jumped over him, a strange sound of explosion and metal clinking disoriented his senses as the monster that almost jumped him was torn apart and smote down with a thundering blast.

Glymet and Laaneth turned to where that sound came from and up above a heap of garbage, a man stood tall with a strange cylinder object in his hand aimed towards them.

The man raised his strange weapon up and lifted his goggles for his blue eyes to shine bright.
The rest of his face was mostly covered in metal and cloth that was all in the color of rust, but there was a very distinctive red beard growing from the man’s face and reaching down to his waist.

“Ram, Kota! You’re up!”

The man called in a clear but weary voice and following his call, two more individuals appeared not too far from him.
One of them held a menacing version of the weapon held by that man and the other was holding a hammer and a shield.

The one holding the menacing-looking weapon just aimed it towards the monster surrounding Laaneth and….

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

… a hail of projectiles was unleashed with the sound of booming thunder put in sequence.

The weapon unleashed tens of projectiles every single second to the point where monsters were bursting into shreds all around the place.
Still, that was to get rid of the monsters that aren’t close enough to Laaneth and Glymet.

As for those which got too close to shoot with the Gatling Cannon, the other figure sled down on the garbage heap and as it got closer, its size was notably appearing to be that of a small creature.

In fact, it appeared to be Argonian in origin with the size of a child.
But once that one came close enough, something strange happened.

The small Argonian was suddenly enlarged to a size that can’t be called Argonian anymore.
It became a Behemoth, a hulking breed of the lizardfolk Argonian race with a burly body almost like a hybrid of a man and a dinosaur.

Once that Behemoth descended, something akin to a natural disaster occurred and every moving thing aside from Glymet and Laaneth was immediately crushed under his mighty shield and hammer.

[A/n: Ram and Kota are Sponsored Characters!]

In mere seconds, those monsters were no more.

The one holding the gatling cannon stopped firing with the last monster dropping and the Argonian Behemoth stopped his destruction as he looked closely at Laaneth.
The man that led them descended the garbage heap and as he got closer, the other two stood behind him.

The Behemoth Argonian, the one known as Kota, started to shrink back to normal which was the form of a short Argonian male and the other one, known as Ram, wasn’t even a living being but rather an autonomous humanoid that is native to the Clockwork City, a Factotum.

A Factotum wielding a gatling cannon and an Argonian that can shift into a Behemoth, the red-bearded individual leading them should be just as great at the very least if not far greater.
He, who was wielding a spear-like weapon that can shoot at far distances, walked closer and revealed his face.

He saw Laaneth and Laaneth saw him.
They recognized one another immediately.
Even Glymet recognized him since they just met a few days ago on Nirn.

“L… Laaneth?” He asked, “Am I dreaming?”

“Jon?” She walked to him, “Azura! What happened to you?”

He looked way beyond his age.
It was as if he was no longer 21.
His skin was badly withered and his right eye was covered with an eyepatch.
He looked at empty space and his expression found it hard to gather his thoughts.
He wanted to speak and his voice seemed tired and weary.

“It has been…” Jon looked at his own hand and started counting…

“My God!” Glymet couldn’t believe what happened to young Jon and looked at Laaneth who was also looking at him.

How long has it been?

They didn’t think about it at all.

The time difference between realms.

The reality phenomenons that cause temporal anomalies.

The effects that time causes in the different parts of existence.

The principal of the Aka, the time, and the formation of Auri-El, Akatosh, and Alduin as the trinity that outlines time in the Mortal Realm, Mundus, and separates it from the alien realms of Oblivion and Aetherious.

It was all too shocking for them to…

“… five days!” Jon finished counting.

“…”

“Alright, we’re done here.”
