In secret, Jaune successfully opened an Oblivion Gate. However, seeing the world on the other side of the Oblivion Gate, what he saw was different, and familiar.

"By the Nine..."

He stared at the luscious forests that surround the seemingly isolated city, a castle constructed on a river, with a view of a fjord that was astonishingly beautiful. The castle on the distance was gorgeous but impractical. It has high spires along its roofs, with a square along its walls, on the corners, towers guard the area.

The designer of the castle might be an artist and wanted to impress those ships coming from the docks or an idiot seeing that it is vulnerable with naval artillery. Strategically impenetrable if it was a land conflict, but a naval one, surely it will get bombarded. But nevertheless, it was beautiful.

The castle was easily the most recognizable structure within the area as small complexes of houses with Third Era Cyrodillic design rise to the mountain. He was viewing the city far south of the city, close to a ravine. But the city can still be seen, but not the citizens living in it.

From his travels across the Empire, never has he encountered a castle designed like those. It was like a fantasy within a fantasy as he is already living in a world that is a fantasy. He speculated that maybe he opened a gate in Remnant, however, he sensed no Grimm in the area.

So maybe it was on another world. An unknown world that even the old Dwemer nor the Ehlnofey didn't even encounter. He decided to at least survey the land but how is he going to go with his really suspicious looking Mages Robes? He must blend in the crowd and see for himself this new city that he stumbled himself into.

Jaune went back to the White Gold Tower to at least suit up for the journey ahead. A backpack with some supplies like pemmican and water he gathered from the kitchen as it was like the good old days. He also brought with him some winter coats to his bag in case that it would snow, since it was chilly up there.

He already wrote a notice on his office, both in the Great Hall of Tiber Septim and in the Arcane University, that he is going to take a leave for a while and it's because of some stress and reformulating the Oblivion Gate formula, as he wrote. But what they don't know is that he is going to investigate the new city, and maybe a few adventuring on the way.

He didn't even inform Team RWBY, NPR, CFVY, and Glynda about this as he thought that it would disturb their magical training.

He got his trusty ebony dagger on his holster on the leg and one book on his bag that he has been reading for a while about the space programs of Emperor Reman and Tiber Septim.

He wore standard black pants with brown boots and a white shirt topped with a brown coat. He hid his Amulet of Kings behind the coat as maybe this is still part of his Empire, however, he didn't know and the people might get insulted because of it.

Seeing that he is prepared he was going to reach for the door, when suddenly someone opened it up. It was Serana, and her face looks like she wasn't pleased.

Serana then presented a paper in front of Jaune's face, "Jaune, what is the meaning of this?!"

Jaune's eyes widened and he was beginning to sweat in nervousness, HOW COULD I FORGET HER?! He screamed in his mind, "Ohhh umm hi... Serana."

"Don't hi to me, what is this." She pressed. He was about to say something until, "If you lie to me, I swear to Molag Bal that there are no cuddles for weeks."

Jaune surrendered to Serana's terrifying gaze and heavily sighed, "I opened the Oblivion Gate..." he paused.

"And?" Serana again pressed him.

"I think it isn't on Remnant. I saw a city that I have never seen from Tamriel before and I wanted to investigate whether or not is it part of High Rock or it is a new world that I've opened too."

"So... you are going on an adventure... WITHOUT ME!?"

"Serana, I'm sorry but I forgot about you. But if you still want to come with me then I'm-"

"I'm in." Serana promptly answered, without any signs of hesitation.

Serana then prepared for the trip, and just like Jaune she wore something the same as him but with a different color scheme. Her boots and coat are sanguine colored while her pants are black. She also wore a grey hood as she hates the sun and a pair of gloves with diamond shaped metal knuckles.

She didn't bring her mace of Molag Bal and instead opted for an ebony dagger. It might give her away that she is the personal bodyguard of the Emperor, and the striking figure and shape of the mace strikes fear to those around it.

Serana, of course, is excited about this new adventure. The two seldom get vacations but they still enjoy their time together, but they need a much-needed break. Just the two of them not handling state or university affairs, their own private time together in a new land that no one has heard off.

"Right, I'm set. So, lead away sir knight!" Serana shouts out loud in glee as Jaune waited for about twenty minutes as she was preparing.

The two used the teleporter that Jaune has in his room to immediately teleport to his office. He opened the Oblivion Gate on the secluded courtyards of the university so it is easy to say that even if the gate was large, it was well concealed by the buildings and the greenery around it.

Serana then entered first and she was amazed by the sight that she was seeing. The sunset gave the city a beautiful gloom. "Wow, this looks amazing..." Serana gasped.

Jaune then entered, "It is..."

The two just stared at the city and the castle that is sitting on the river. It was like watching a movie, where the wind is their soundtrack and music. "It's just like seeing Skyrim for the first time again when I got off the cave," Serana muttered audibly. "So how are we going to go there?"

"I don't know," Jaune shrugged, "I guess we will let Kynareth guide us. That's what we often do anyway."

"Well maybe there's no Kynareth here, this is a new world after all. A new god, maybe?"

"I doubt it but, let's just go to the furthest we can go so that we can make camp."

They walked in the serene forest filled with pine trees. The brushing of the leaves makes a subtle music to their ears, making each step and trek wonderfully peaceful for the two. Even with the almost endless trees, it still didn't bother them. When they are lost, they just get more excited as new adventure awaits them.

However, the almost endless trees have met their end and they saw a wooden cabin nearby. This is their first contact with whoever is living here. However, before they can even step foot outside of the forest, snow began to fall down. To Serana, it was okay since she has innate resistance from the cold, but to Jaune, they need to get to shelter quick.

There is a sign there that read, "Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna" and in front of the cabin was a sleigh and a reindeer who was lazily munching carrots. "It's a surprise they use Modern Cyrodiilic here," Jaune muttered.

"So let's go inside?" Jaune asked Serana.

"Well, we have to prepare for the snow for us to get by again so yeah I guess so." She shrugged.

They then knocked first, "Hello? Anyone there?" Jaune said loudly. He didn't forget his manners before coming into a house or a trading post. However, they weren't tired and just wants a shelter for the snow to pass by.

After a few minutes, no one answered the door, "I guess the owner might be doing somethin-"

Someone then opened the door, it was a man wearing a patterned sweater of green, orange and blue, and the hat that he wore matched the color scheme of his sweater. He has a blonde mustache that spread to his sideburns. He also has a strong physique behind that sweater and the smile that he wore. The man greeted them with a smile, "Yoohoo and welcome to Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna! I'm sorry that you have to wait for a while since the Princess is here with the Royal Ice Harvester. So how can I help you two, Ja?" He said with an accent.

"Princess? Looks like they are a monarchy, and the man doesn't recognize me. We must be in a different world, Serana. Especially his accent, I've never heard it before." He telepathized to her.

"Yeah, me either. Okay, but we can't just reveal them our names. How about cover names?" She telepathized back.

"Yeah, that sounds good. I'll be umm... Jonathan Miles..."

"Seriously? Jonathan Miles?"

"Look we have to decide our names, the guy is already looking at us weirdly!"

"Okay, then I'll be Secunda."

"Umm... Ma'am? Sirs?" The man kindly asked them as they have been staring at him in an uncomfortable manner.

"Ohhh... umm we're very sorry for our early behavior. Can we stay inside and wait until the snow storm stops?" Jaune kindly asked the man.

"Oh, of course, dear ma'am and sir!" The man gleefully answered and opened the door for them to enter. When they entered the cabin, they were greeted by warmth inside. The cabin doesn't even look like a sauna, it was full of things like winter clothing, food, tools like hammer, and rope hang on the wooden dividers. It was like an organized Belathor's shop.

The interior design was more on the Nordic side of things. It was like Jaune being back in Dawnstar or even the Skaal Tribe as the resemblance was uncanny.

From the looks of the cabin, they can say that the merchant is having a pretty good profit. When they turned to him, he seems to have a smile that was a bit on the contagious side. It was cheerful, not creepy and it helped ease the tension of this new world quite a bit.

Near the counter, they saw two seats that aren't occupied by anyone, they could at least talk to this merchant for awhile and inform them where in the world are they. And it would make adventuring even more immersive and fun for the two.

"Umm...sir, are these seats occupied?" Jaune asked the man.

"Ah, no! Go ahead, sit!" The man encouraged them.

The two then sat and listened to the howling winds as the rain of snow turned into a storm. But the two are used to it, but still, Jaune wanted the luxury of heat once in a while. The cold wasn't as terrible as Skyrim's snow storms, especially in the Pale.

"So, you two travelers?" The man asked them, again with a smile, but this time he is lightly pressing his fingertips together.

"You can call us that. Can I ask where are we?" Serana asked the man.

"You have read the sign, Ja?"

"Yes but," Serana shook her head lightly and sighed, "Where exactly are we? What country are we in right now?"

The man understood and his smile brightened, "Oh, that! We are in the Kingdom of Arendelle, Ja?"

Serana's eyebrows raised, "Arendelle? Where is that?"

"Up in Norwegia!" The man again answered gladly for them, as if he is glad about taking a pop quiz from a stranger.

"Does Skyrim, Atmora, or Tamriel ring a bell to you, sir?" Jaune asked him.

Now, the man raised his eyebrow and his mouth quirked but still the smile never left his face, "Skyrim? Atmora? Tamriel? Doesn't ring a bell, no."

"Well we are in a different world now." Jaune scratched his head in embarrassment, but inside was the excitement of a new land to explore, "We are sorry for asking. It seems that we are lost during our travels."

"It's okay. Don't feel about it, Ja? Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name's Oaken!"

"Oh, umm my name is Jonathan Miles, and I'm with my companion, Secunda." Jaune introduced himself to Oaken, not with a dignity of an Emperor, but just a humble man lost in a world. Here, he is Jonathan Miles, a humble little traveler who knows magic.

"Nice to meet you, Jonathan and Secunda! Where are you two from?"

"We are from Skyrim," Serana answered for him, "We two were traveling to Atmora for historical research but winds blew us to this place."

"Skyrim, I have never heard of that land before. So you two are scholars, Ja?" Oaken slightly shook his head.

"Mostly, but we are here for adventure!" Jaune excitedly said, "We are just on our break for a month so this is our stress relief, just traveling." He shrugged. The conversation died down there as Oaken went back to the sauna part of the area. Jaune saw that behind the door was a hallway with many more rooms.

"Maybe, that's where the sauna is. Looks new to me." Jaune muttered to Serana.

"Yeah, but we already took a bath earlier. So, Arendelle, huh? Does that nation exist in Remnant?"

"From what I know, no. In Solitas the only human settlement there is Atlas and not much else. If Grimm were also in this world, then we should have gotten attacked in the forest by a grimm specie. But this is an entirely new world to us."

Serana leaned back on the chair and sighed in relaxation, "I guess you are now... what... crossed five dimensions? By the Nine, Jaune you are having more adventures than me, it isn't fair!" She mockingly said to him like a child.

"Oh quiet you!" Jaune laughed, "At least in the three of the five I've crossed dimensions, it's been with you. So at least that's a huge bonus." He said and kissed her on the forehead. Serana's response was to snuggle on his shoulder. The two relaxed and Jaune grabbed the book from his bag, quietly reading the book about Battlespires until the harrowing winds of the snowstorm stop.

He argued, he could just use his "Clear Skies" shout, but decided it gave away the thrill of the adventure and decided not to use his Thu'um and would only use it in absolute necessity if the situation demands that he would have to use it. He wasn't home, but still, he can relax outside of it. He was used to being outside of his comfort zone that it would only take a while for him to adapt.

Skyrim is the land where a person can test their mettle. It's like a razor, shaping them until they are fit to live or unfit to die. That's why the Nords are proud of their heritage that they refuse to adapt Cyrodiilic "Lords" and instead opted to use the Nordic, "Jarl". They are now loyal to the Empire, albeit they still have the spirit of a Nord. Nordic Spirit, Imperial Glory is the slogan.

"What are you reading?" Serana asked him as she faced him.

"Tiber Septim's Battlespire projects. Apparently, these are like stations above the sky that trained Imperial Battlemages. Interesting stuff." Serana didn't reply and let her head fall on his shoulders. The two stayed quiet as still, the storm raged on, but now the wind stopped howling yet there still is the heavy torrent of snow.

Jaune glanced at the clock and was a bit surprised to see that it was the same as theirs, a twelve-hour clock. It was half-past four here and when they arrived earlier, the sky already darkened.

Suddenly, the door opened and it wasn't Oaken that opened it. It was a woman, looking like in her late teenage years. She has a mix of a strawberry blonde hair that fitted well with her twin-tailed hairstyle and the freckled face that complimented her. She wore a patterned purple cloak with a black dress with light blue sleeves. To finish her outfit, she also has a dark blue long skirt that has embroidered flowers in it.

Along with him was a man, he wore a dark blue long-sleeved tunic and to top it was a black plain tunic. He also wore gloves and boots that are well suited in this climate of a winter. On his waist was a red patterned belt.

"Thank you, Mr. Oaken!" The girl said with a wide smile on her face. From the looks of it, these two are a couple as they held their hands together.

The man noticed the snow outside and was a bit alarmed, "Oh no, Sven!" He immediately went outside of the cabin.

The woman then noticed Jaune and Serana sitting quietly right beside the counter. She went to them but Jaune was already disturbed by the guy running off outside the cabin, and the loud "thank you" that she produced. "Hello there!" She said, to him but Serana didn't respond as she was asleep. "Ohh.. sorry, I didn't notice she was asleep."

Jaune closed the book that he is reading and smiled, "It's okay, we are used to getting disturbed in our sleep."

"Being disturbed during sleep? That sounds horrible, I can't get my beauty sleep when that happens!"

"It's alright. When you are out in the woods, camping, and there's a wolf growling nearby, getting disturbed is a lifesaver." Jaune smiled at the woman.

"It seems that you have a lot of experience being outside. Oh! By the way, do you know where Mr. Oaken is?" She asked him.

Jaune then pointed to the sauna door, "He entered there a while ago. He also said that the Princess of Arendelle and her Royal Ice Harvester was here earlier. Maybe he went inside to have them at their service I guess since they are technically royalty."

With this, the woman chuckled, hiding her laugh with her mouth. Jaune raised his eyebrows as to why did this woman laughed at him. "I'm sorry for laughing but you are looking right at the princess!" She declared in a loud voice.

Jaune's eyes widened in surprise, "You are the princess?"

"Yes! I'm Princess Anna Arendelle silly! Have you never heard of me before?" She asked him.

Jaune shook his head, "I'm sorry Your Highness but I have never heard of that name before since my companion and I came from a faraway land in the north." He then stood up, waking up Serana, "My name is Jonathan Miles and my companion here is Secunda. We're both travelers to this unknown land." He then bowed to him, making Anna feel slightly proud yet giggling as this complete stranger just bowed to her.

"Oh, there's no need to bow here! I came here with Kristoff just to relax. You don't need to remind me that I was in the city again. And you said you are from a faraway land? Have you never heard of Arendelle before?"

"I'm sorry but no, I have never heard of Arendelle." He shook his head.

She put her hands on her waist and put her head forward, "How about Queen Elsa? The Snow Queen that has wonderful ice magic powers?"

"Queen Elsa? Also no. I'm sorry Your Highness." Jaune nodded and smiled.

The conversation was interrupted when a giant bipedal snow monster entered the cabin. It then got near them but it got his hat and mask off then it revealed it was the man earlier, now with a dead look on his face. Anna laughed along with them, "What happened to you, Kristoff?"

"Sven got in the storage. He didn't even tell me that he was there!" He then groaned, "I'll go back to the sauna."

"Is he the Royal Ice Harvester then?" Jaune asked her.

"Yeah, his name is Kristoff. We met back last year during the Thaw and he helped me find my sister! Without him helping me then maybe I couldn't find her." Anna grimaced. Jaune concluded that Kristoff is very dear to this Princess Anna. She might be cheerful but he can also see the trials and tribulations that tested that very smile he is seeing right now.

Anna then wiped her mouth and replaced it with a smile, "Sorry for the mood killer but it's time for you two to speak. Where were you two from?"

Jaune relaxed as this was just a casual conversation and held Serana's hands gently, "Us? Well, we came from the land of Skyrim. It's also a Kingdom but it's being ruled by a High Queen. We're traveling to Atmora, a continent above Skyrim for historical research but winds blew us to this place."

"So you two are scholars?" Anna asked the same question as Oaken.

"You can say that. But we were actually going there for adventure since it's an unexplored place. But lo and behold we are here." Jaune playfully grimaced.

"Oh don't worry, Arendelle can give you lots and lots of meaningful adventures! You can go to the Northern Mountains, or you could go see the city. The city is awesome!" She enthusiastically waved her arms.

Jaune laughed at the enthusiasm of Anna. "Thank you, Your Highness. To be honest with you, we would also like to go to the city. The castle that is on the docks is quite unique since Skyrim's castles don't have that design."

"If you get inside there, it is even more wonderful! There's my sister, Queen Elsa, Olaf and the chocolate there is excellent! Also, did I mention that the Queen is my sister?"

Jaune sighed in delight. She is unlike any princess that he met. Mostly, in High Rock, they are pompous and spoiled by their parents who are monarchs of their own little kingdoms, but this princess is humble to strangers even. She might be a model to those princess stories that his sisters love to read.

"You have a way with words, Your Highness. But no, you didn't mention her." Jaune then looked out the window and saw that the window stopped falling but the ground is covered in snow. "Your Highness, can I ask what date is it today?"

"It's October umm... October 21st. Winter has already settled in."

"October? That's near Ruby's Birthday!" He exclaimed, softly planting his fist on the palm of his hand like a gavel. But soon he realized he let out his thoughts.

"Ruby? Who's Ruby?" Anna leaned in on him.

Jaune got a bit nervous but this time his quiet companion answered for him, "She is a friend of ours back in Skyrim." She nonchalantly said and smiled at her.

Anna recoiled back as suddenly the girl beside him spoke. The yellow iris that glows unnerved her a bit and her pale skin was almost as white as snow. But the friendly atmosphere that she brought with her somewhat overpowered her menacing appearance. "Ohh, sorry umm I uhh didn't notice you were there."

"I get that a lot, I'm not the talkative type anyway." Serana hummed to herself.

"You're Secunda, right?"

"Yes, he told you about me?" Serana asked as she took a glance at Jaune.

"Just your name." Anna shrugged, "Obviously he didn't tell about your pale skin." Realizing that she let out her thoughts, Anna quickly covered her mouth and squeaked a sorry.

Serana was amused and just smiled, "I've been living in Skyrim my whole life so my skin adapted to the cold climate." She then shrugged.

"So Skyrim is a cold place then?"

"Very cold. I used to live in of the northern parts of it and even as I grow older the cold there remained as is. But I got used to it." Serana again shrugged.

"Like an eternal winter?" Anna warily asked.

"Pretty much. Even summers there, snow is all you see."

"Did it involve anyone?" Anna leaned forward.

"No, it's just the weather there is year long. Skyrim is cold, especially in the northern regions but the southern regions get normal summers. Why would it involve anyone?"

Anna nervously chuckled, "Umm... you see... the Queen did that with her powers. But, she didn't do it on purpose! She was just afraid of her powers and escaped to the Northern Mountain. She made a castle out of her powers, though, and when I went there it was amazing! But here she is now healing and quite open to her powers."

Jaune nodded, "Hmm.. Queen Elsa has a gift in the magic of cryomancy then?"

"Yes!" She proudly said, yet something in their sentence her something, "And how do you know magic?"

"From our land, magic is widespread, like anyone can do that. But not to the extent that your Queen did." When Anna heard that, her jaw was on the floor, "Skyrim has this thing called the "College of Winterhold" where they teach students in the ways of magic."

"So...you can cast spells?"

Jaune then gathered up magicka from his hand and casts Candlelight. The ball of light floated above his head, and cast a light that illuminated the room. "That's Candlelight, one of the most basic spells in magic."

"That's amazing..." Anna gasped like a child but to Serana and Jaune it was nothing special, her reaction though was special. She then held Jaune's shoulders that would rival one of his soldiers, "You have to come and meet Elsa. She would be happy that someone knows about magic and would teach her about it!"

Jaune looked at Serana and she shrugged, signaling him that it was his decision. This may be the opportunity that he needs to investigate where did the Oblivion Gate open and meet the ruler of this land. He might be doing it incognito but he just hoped that his cover isn't blown.

"We can since we don't know this land and you could be our guide, Your Highness."

...and that's the stupid idea that I've been wondering about for the last two weeks. It's a bit stupid but I want to just get this concept out of my head, mainly Elsa discovering a world filled with magic and Jaune teaching her how she can control and manipulate her magic.

Like an Archmage or an incognito Emperor coming to Arendelle. For now, I only have a few chapters planned for this so it isn't guaranteed for a long story as my focus is on Emperor of Tamriel and the war aspect on it. This is just more of a side story, like Archmage of Zero.

A new villain? Reincarnation of Dagoth Ur? Heart of Lorkhan underneath the Northern Mountain? Who knows? Possibilities are both limited and endless but I want this story to keep it simple at least for the time being.

I hope this chapter suffices to your liking dear readers! Comments, suggestions, and constructive criticisms are always welcome! Leave a review or give me a pm if you like, since it really helps to have direct reader feedback. And, again, thank you for taking the time to read this fanfic, dear readers!
