Chapter 21 - Klimmek I: The Way of the Voice

Sundas, 25th of Last Seed 4E201 Evening

Klimmek

"You wanna run that by me again?"

The cold snap had come early this year. We usually have another month in Ivarstead before the frosts come, but the season had already been cold. Could barely keep my hands on the fishing pole all weekend without feeling frozen to it. Knee acting up. Doesn't help that I'm getting on in years either., So I'd finally given up, and warmed myself at the inn for a few hours. Pilgrims had been few the past months on account of the war, but Wilhelm always keeps plenty wood stocked for the fire. And plenty of rumours to keep conversation interesting.

But this?

"You're telling me," I say to Wilhelm, "That mage from a few months back didn't actually die, he was the one haunting us. And that the old Hall of Stories wasn't a dead end, but a lock keeping an entire Barrow of Draugr from swarming our town?"

"Kyne's word, Klimmek."

I pause, take a swig of ale. "Orkey's balls, you're as terrible a storyteller as you are a liar. I saw that bloody ghost myself a dozen times. Saw right through him. Ain't no man alive can do that, less there's a damn hole in him. And ain't no way in Sovngarde you've the guts to take on a single Draugr, let alone a cave full."

"Never said I did, did I?" He says, polishing an already clean glass. Always needs something to do with his hands, he says. "Was those two in the corner there, names Uthgerd and Talao. Don't believe me, ask them, sure as Oblivion convinced me."

"Aye," I say, glaring, "think I will at that." Thankfully, the hours in front of the fire eased the ache in my bones enough to make my way over to the.. unlikely pair. A hulking Nord woman, and a willowy man, Breton by the look of him. Maybe Imperial. Were they a couple of late pilgrims to see the Greybeards? They're chatting comfortably, chowing down on some of Wilhelm's fare. If he's having me on and I'm interrupting them for nothing, I'll bury him up to his neck in cow dung while he sleeps.

"Pardon. Wilhelm tells me you've an interesting tale to tell of our Barrow. That true?"

Instantly, the man beams, as though Sanguine himself had just offered him every pleasure in the world. But the woman groans, though I can see mirth in her eyes. "Gods above, man, I've had to listen to Talao tell that story a half-dozen times already. Not sure I can take another fanciful retelling of our trek through those ruins."

"Hush, Uthgerd. The man wants a tale, and I'm always delighted to entertain an audience." He turns to face me, though the woman continues with her meal. After introducing himself - "Talao, Bard Extraordinaire" - he launched into his tale. "We arrived in town in the early afternoon, too late to make the climb to High Hrothgar, but not nearly early enough to end our day. So we made our way here to the inn, to exchange stories and rumour. That is when we heard tell of your town's haunted Barrow. Our curiosity piqued, we set off for Shroud Hearth Barrow, cold and forbidding even in the afternoon sun. Down a flight of stairs and behind a portcullis, we saw it. A spectre. A ghost, shining blue as the sky and insubstantial as a cloud. 'Turn back,' quoth he. 'Turn back!' Undeterred, we opened the gate and crept forth, finding its lair, where it lay, sleeping."

"Sleeping?" I repeated. "A sleeping ghost."

"Aye, with a snore that could wake the dead. No pun intended."

"Yes it was."

"Quiet, Uthgerd."

I cross my arms, unsatisfied. "Never heard of spirits needing sleep before."

"Nor I, good Klimmek. Nor needing a blazing fire in their hearth, nor an alchemical lab, nor quill and ink and parchment! But we saw all this and more in that room. Including a wine bottle that my companion happened to stumble upon rather noisily." This was said with a meaningful glance toward his companion, who merely responded with a rude gesture, though without malice. I like her. Talao laughed as well, continuing, "Needless to say, the 'spirit' was roused from its slumber, picking up a very solid dagger from its side, and staggered toward us, screaming and threatening us. Very creatively, I might add. Unfortunately for him, Uthgerd prefers to strike first and ask questions later, if ever."

"Someone had to, with you cowering behind me," she said through a mouthful of mutton.

"I did no such thing. I just didn't want to be in the path of that giant cleaver you call a sword. As that poor sod's head learned as it was cleft from its body. At which point, it lost its aetherial glow. Well, both parts... you get the idea." He pulls out a vial from his tunic, blue and shining. "We recovered this beauty from his table. A complex little potion that made him pale and transparent as a ghost to scare of the locals while he searched for a treasure within the Barrow. His journal, which I gave to your barkeep friend, seems to suggest that he lost his mind along the way, and convinced himself he actually was a guardian of the tomb. Damn sight spookier than an actual ghost story, should you ask me."

Gods above. What a story. But... "Prove it. Listen, I've been round the mountain a good many times, heard my fair share of tales. Anyone could fake a journal and a glowy potion."

His grin widened further. "I was hoping you'd say that. Try not to scream like Fastred and Bassianus did last time."

I scoff, but he pops the cork on the bottle, drips a single drop into his open mouth, and then swallows. I barely keep my seat as his frame shimmers and disappears. Behind him - through him, rather - I can see Uthgerd draining a mug of ale, grimacing. "This is the fifth time in the past hour he's pulled this stunt. I'm hoping it damages his brain like it clearly did that damn fool in the Barrow."

"Hence why I'm drinking so little, Uthgerd," Talao says as he shimmers back to... being solid. "That and the need to keep enough to try and reverse alchemize the stuff, and make it better. Void salts, most likely, but who knows what else."

"Well," I say. But that doesn't seem like enough. "Kyne's tits, I'm convinced. Unless you're the best damn juggler I've met."

"Oh, friend, you've not heard the half of it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And then what?"

"We entered the main crypt, a long path lined with sarcophagi, and two raised plinths. One step, and the lids burst open, and fifty Draugr poured forth."

"It was hardly a dozen, Talao, and they came out staggered." That was Uthgerd again. Every so often, she chimed in to comment on something Talao would say. Truth be told, it was downright hilarious, especially with how frustrated it made the bard.

"Damnit, woman, have you no grasp of the concept of hyperbole?"

"Never even heard the word before."

Talao made some odd kind of choking noise as Uthgerd ordered another drink - another thing, the woman could hold her alcohol. "Fine. A dozen Draugr - the killing of which is still no small feat! - rose from the tombs, and were summarily slaughtered by Uthgerd. Then, through one last gate, we attained our final goal. A spacious room, dominated by an enormous stone monument, a single ray of light illuminating a chest, filled with glorious treasures. Pieces of gold older than Septims existed, jewelry, even a fancy sword for Uthgerd."

"Needs a bit of tempering," she says, unsheathing said sword, "but the enchantment on it is strong." For a thousand-year old blade, it seems in damn good shape, and it has a whitish-blue sheen to it that was obviously unnatural.

"I didn't even know she could recognize enchantments, let alone work enchanted metals," Talao said to me in an exaggerated whisper.

"I have a sword in my hand, Talao. Maybe not the safest time for quips."

"Ah, but your life would be so dull without those quips. You know this to be true." Turning back to me, he continued "To wit, we found a shortcut to the entrance and made our way back here in triumph. Tonight, we revel. And tomorrow, we climb to High Hrothgar." With that declaration, he drains his mug with satisfaction.

"By Talos," I mutter. "That was quite an adventure indeed. To think such plots could happen even in a town like Ivarstead. I must thank you for taking care of that scoundrel for us as well. Wilhelm!"

"Klimmek!"

"Grab another round for these two, on me."

"Told you."

"Shut yer yap." He laughs, reaching for the ale. "You said you're pilgrims, aye?"

The two look at each other a moment. "Of a sort, I suppose," Talao says. "We are obviously heading to meet the Greybeards, if that's what you're asking."

"Well I don't suppose you could do me a favor of a sort as well?" Wilhelm drops the round of drinks at the table, and I stretch my leg out, uncomfortable. Guess I'd been so wrapped up in the story I hadn't noticed the stiffness. "Y'see, I usually take some supplies to the Greybeards every few weeks as... I guess as a bit of a tribute. They have their own food and such, but things like cloth and fish, they can't get up there. But my knee isn't what it used to be. You two can clearly take care of yourselves; could you take the supplies with you tomorrow? In return, I'll pack you a few trout from my stores for a meal. Far better fare than this place, or what you'll find on the slopes, I assure you."

"Seems reasonable enough to me. What say you, Uthgerd?"

"Anything's better than that wolf meat we tried to eat yesternight. So gamey I could barely chew."

"Sounds like a yes to me! Shake on it?"

He grasps my hand with both of his. He has the most interesting calluses I've ever felt, the tips of his fingers only. "Great. We'll meet at dawn at the south bridge. You should reach High Hrothgar before dusk, even if you take a few breaks on the walk. And trust me, you'll need to."

With another smile and a wave, the two retreat to their room. I pay my tab and, reluctantly, head back outside. The cold hits me like a punch to the gut, and my knee begins aching again instantly. Gods, it's as if we skipped Autumn altogether and hit Winter without so much as a greeting. Plants aren't near ready for harvest, but they'll wither in the ground if this keeps up. Never enough time it seems. Always feels like there's less of it to go around every day that passes.

Out in the far distance, I hear some beast scream, and another answers.

Locate a Paradise: Marinduque

A heart-shaped island that lies in the southwestern part of the Philippines, also known as “The Heart of the Philippines,” is one of the provinces in Region IV-B MIMAROPA, which is surrounded by a crystal-like ocean and centered by the magnificent mountain of Mt. Malindig. It is a good escape in the summer because of its white beaches, like Poctoy White Beach and Maniwaya Island, and by savoring the beauty of its sand bars at Pallad Bar or doing island hopping within the small islands of Tres Reyes and Elephant Island. Explore the hidden caves of Bathala, Bagumbungan, and more; feel the breeze of water in the river or even at the falls. It holds a historic and mesmerizing architecture of churches, and you can immerse yourself in the culture and traditions of Marinduqueños. But no popular destination in Marinduque can be more famous than their Mariones festival, held every holy week. Marinduque is truly wealthy in natural beauty, its culture and traditions, as well as its people. It is a perfect destination for travelers.

To reach this paradise, you need to travel by land and across the ocean, approximately 9–12 hours from Manila, including transfers and traffic. There are bus terminals at Kamias, Cubao, Buendia, and Turbina; once you get to one of these terminals, take the bus bound to Lucena Port or Talao-Talao Port in Lucena, Quezon Province; this will cost 300-500 pesos per head. Once you’ve touched down at the port, pay for a ferry ticket for only 400 pesos if you're a student, PWD, or senior, and 470 pesos for regulars, which will take you to the island province. It will take about 2–3 hours of travel on the water. Right after you get off the ferry, you’ll find jeepney and tricycle drivers, and even drivers of vans (door-to-door) that are going to the towns of Marinduque. You'll pay for the fare, which is about 70–400 pesos depending on the public vehicle you want to ride and to your destination. Fetch the one that has a sign board of the town you’ll go to, if it is Buenavista, Gasan, Boac, Mogpog, or Sta. Cruz, or Torrijos, and that is appropriate for you. There is also another way, which is by air, which will take about an hour of travel from the airport in Pasay to the island, which was only 1000 pesos the last time I checked, but this is not advisable right now because the airport at Masiga, Gasan, is unfortunately under construction. If you want to travel with your car, it is very necessary and hassle-free because ferries can accommodate vehicles. I can also suggest a door-to-door, which is a van that is very convenient now to use when going to Marinduque, for only 1,300–1,500 pesos per head. It is also hassle-free travel because this van will fetch you to your house wherever it is in Manila or other provinces near NCR and will put you down right in front of your house or accommodation booked in Marinduque.

Locating this paradise is way easy and straight. The journey may be long, but it is all worth it once you witness the true beauty that this paradise holds. Now that you have the knowledge and are eager to witness this mesmerizing island with your own eyes, what are you waiting for? Grab your things and visit Marinduque, a truly tropical paradise that you never knew existed.

Chapter 3 - Hadvar I: Unbound

Sundas, 17th of Last Seed 4E201 Late Morning

Hadvar

My name is Hadvar. Soldier in the Imperial Legion. A loyal Nord, despite what those in Windhelm might think. Proud citizen of the Empire. Protector of the people.

This knowledge is all that keeps me from melting into a puddle of fear from the might of the beast currently destroying Helgen. While most of my detachment fends off the beast, I do my best to bring townsfolk to what safety I can find. Not that I have much faith in doing so; even as I escort an old man under cover, I watch the dragon - a gods-honest dragon! - bash its head directly through one of the guard towers. Solid stone and mortar that took months to build and reinforce, walls that have stood up to countless bandit raids, knocked aside as though it were a shanty of sticks. Countless arrows find their marks in the dragon's hide, only to bounce off harmlessly. Unbelievable. Any delusions of fighting this beast, this demon, are shattered in my mind. Escape is the only option.

I hear a cry nearby. A man trapped beneath rubble, his son desperately shoving at the unmoving stone. I notice the dragon leap from the ramparts, heading directly for us. Fear assails me again, but I use it to power my limbs, sprinting for the pair. I grab the boy, throwing me over my shoulder, ignoring his screams as the beast lands in front of us, shaking the ground and almost causing me to fall over. The thanks in the man's face is evident, but my mind is elsewhere as he yells at me, "Go, save him!" I dive behind the wall with the old man, my boots scorched with fire as it bathes the ground where I'd been seconds earlier. Even under cover, the heat is oppressive, and the sounds the dragon is making... Would it were louder, that I could drown out the screams of dying men, but no such luck.

Shaking, I hand the now crying boy over to the old man, when movement catches my attention from the corner of my eye. My hand flies to the hilt of my sword, but when I turn, all I see is a man in rags falling to the ground from the second story of the now burnt-out inn. Where in Kyne's name did he come from? Surely he hadn't been in there since this all began? I look up to the destroyed tower behind the inn, just in time to see another figure disappear from a gaping hole in its side. He jumped? Damn. The man is brave, if nothing else.

I offer him my hand, and realize with a start that he is the Breton that arrived with the prisoners. Saved from the chopping block from the dragon, if you could call it saving. Happy coincidence, that; I'd have hated to see another innocent die because of that thrice-damned traitor, Ulfric.

"Still alive, prisoner?" I ask, more out of amazement than curiosity.

"It's Talao," he responds pointedly. Quite a lot of spunk for a man who's nearly died several times today. "I am, and if you don't mind, I'd like to remain so." He glares at my sword, which I note is bared directly at him.

I lower it hastily, but do not sheathe it. Danger, and all that. "Good. Stick with me if you want to stay that way. Gunnar, take care of the boy."

The old man looks at me with pride and hope as he comforts the boy. "Gods guide you, Hadvar." This. This is why I am a Legionnaire. Not for praise, or adoration, or battle. I wanted to be a shield for my people. And if I save even one person from the fires of Oblivion today, I will be content.

Enough dallying. "We need to find General Tullius and join the defense." The General will know what to do. The man's a military genius.

We run, heading toward the sound of the General's voice. A roar sounds close overhead. "Stay close to the wall!" I yell, as we squeeze through a narrow alley. The ground tosses beneath us with such force that we both go tumbling down, landing on our backs. Not ten feet above us, perched on the wall next to us, sits the dragon, another gout of fire spewing forth. Surely, we'll both die now, I think, covering my face from the vicious fire and blinding light. I swear I can feel blisters popping across my uncovered skin. But again, it lifts off, granting us a reprieve, and somehow another chance to escape.

Why is it here, for gods' sake? If we knew why, we might be able to do something. Is it hungry? Angry? Is destruction its sole desire, or is it far more nefarious? Is it even intelligent?

So many questions, yet all I can do is drag Talao through the glowing wreckage to the General. Atop his horse, he frantically but deliberately issues order to the troops. "Maintain ranks! FALL BACK!" An archer on the wall is grabbed by the dragon, and let loose to plummet to his death, screaming, a mockery of the creature's flight which ends with a sickening crunch. I've seen far worse horrors committed on the battlefield, but the sheer helplessness I feel, the despair is overwhelming. The general is right; full retreat is our only option now.

"Guards, get the townspeople to safety!" The command spurs me to action once more, heading to the garrison with Talao in close pursuit. He may not have been a townsperson, but I believed in the man's innocence and knew that other soldiers likely wouldn't be as eager to protect him if they recognized him from the cart.

We're only a few dozen yards from the door when I see him, clad in blues and greys. By Ysmir, can't I catch a break? "Ralof!" He whirls around at the mention of his name, dropping into a battle stance. "You damned traitor, out of my way!"

"We're esaping, Hadvar. You won't stop us this time, milk drinker!"

My blood boils at his casual arrogance. "Like Oblivion you will. I'll send you to Sovngarde myself! That is, if they admit traitorous heathens like you."

I move toward him, ready to spill his guts on the ground, when something pulls me back. Talao is suddenly between us. "Are you both completely daft?! There's a dragon in the sky above us, raining death and destruction, and you're bickering like petty children over a sweetroll. Put aside your damn squabble until we're no longer an instant from being eaten alive!"

I nearly scoff at the notion, but astonishingly, Ralof nods and sheathes his weapon at the prisoner's words. I'm so surprised, I barely register him charge us, yelling "Get down!" He tackles Talao and myself to the ground, knocking the wind out of me. Bastard! A trick? I wrestle my sword arm free, intent on skewering him before he does the like to me, when my heart jumps into my throat. A gust of wind slams into us, and black claws grasp at the air we'd just inhabited. We'd been a split-second from the exact fate Talao had warned us of.

Ralof stands, hurriedly helping us all well. "I reckon the man's got the right of things, don't you, Imperial?"

Damn him, but he's right. And I can't truly find it in me to hate him for it. Not just now. "Truce then. Quickly, into the keep." At least there we'll only have to worry about rocks falling on us instead of dragons.
