During the attack at Helgan he saved a woman's life and it turns out she is the dragonborn. Throughout the story she starts to love him and gets really surprised when she finds out the truth about him. This story will bring back someone that the game only mentioned… the return of Numinex.

Chapter 1: The Journey

It was night and our young Argonian was roaming the streets of chaidenhall bored and tired.

"Wish something interesting would happen to me" he sighed.

Dragon-Scale-Skin walked to the inn to rent a room for the night so he could continue doing work for the fighter's guild, after he entered the inn he overheard some Nord's talking about how the war was going in skyrim. He thought about going to skyrim for a while and figured it would be the perfect time for his journey to begin. Dragon walked up to the counter and paid for a room then walked up the stairs to it. He opens the door to find it small but good enough for him since he was alone, he walks in and sits on the bed then lay's back resting his head on the pillow and closing his eyes.

"Dragon" a voice whispers
The Argonian opens his eyes and sits up still feeling tired and exhausted; He walks to the central hall of the inn to find it was completely empty.

"What… Where did…"

Before he could say another word he gets interrupted by the whisper again

"Dragon" it said in a ghostly like tone

Dragon-Scale-Skin started following the voice and walked outside the inn to find the weather warmer along with no one patrolling the streets, the voice leads him to the pond near the barracks where he looked into the water not seeing anything different. Without a second thought he walks into the pond to see the color of the water turn black, His legs suddenly became stuck and even at his best attempt to move them he failed. Then from the center of the pond formed a pure black figure of himself, the Argonian's eyes widened and the darker version of him started walking towards him looking at him with red eyes and needle like teeth hanging down from his jaw. He struggled to get free to try and get away from the demonic figure but still couldn't move his legs. The darker Argonian pulled out a knife and ran it across his own hand having the black blood dripping into the pond, Dragon-Scale-Skin panicked and felt something hold his arms down to prevent him from touching the darker Argonian. The dark Argonian dropped the knife into the tainted water and put the cut hand on Dragon's chest changing his crimson red scales black and started moving it up to his mouth. Dragon kept his mouth closed and felt the tainted blood run down his chest and body sending a cold shiver up his spine, with one slash to the gut Dragon opened his mouth to scream but as he did the darker Argonian held his mouth open with his free hand then held the wounded hand over his mouth watching as the tainted blood dripped and ran down the back of his tongue into his throat. Dragon felt corruption taking him over and woke up screaming.

"AHHHHH NO" he looked at his chest and it was covered by the black shirt he was wearing.

"Just a nightmare" he sighed and got out of bed

He walked out to the central part of the inn and bought some food and drinks before setting of on his long journey to skyrim; after he ate he started to leave when he was stopped by the innkeeper

"Wait I have something for you"

Dragon turned around and walked to the innkeeper then sat down at one of the stools

"What do you have for me?" he said in a questioning voice

She handed him a letter and the Argonian takes it and opens it.

"What the…"

He looks at the innkeeper and hands her the letter

"Do you understand this?"

She grabbed the letter and lifted one eyebrow

"No, it's in another language, one I haven't seen before"

She handed him back the letter and he left the in. He took a carriage and got to the border just a few hours later, After Dragon arrived he saw a variety of different mountains as snow covered most of them. He shrugged and continued walking; he didn't know what the cities were or where they were so he figured he should stop for directions, the problem was there was nothing around for miles.

After a few hours he saw a group of soldiers escorting what seemed to be a prisoner

"This is odd… Hmm I wonder if they know where the nearest city was" as he said to himself

He walks up to the men and tapped one of them on the shoulder, Without a warning the soldier pulls out a sword and points it at the Argonian's throat but with a few reflexes he disarmed him.

"Hold citizen state your business" he said stunned.

"I just want to know where the nearest town was" Dragon said with caution.

The man picked his sword up off the ground and put it back in its sheath

"There are no towns near here, we are escorting this prisoner to Helgan for his execution" and they continued walking

The Argonian followed behind them

"Who are you guys some kind of soldiers and I hope you don't mind I tag along" he said with a more relaxed tone

The guard stops and turns back to him

"We are the imperial legion and you can follow as long as you don't try anything"

After a few months they finally reached Helgan and the young Argonian went his separate way walking to the inn. He walked up to the innkeeper and paid for some food while the innkeeper looked him over

"You're a new face around here aren't you?" the barkeeper said to him

"Hmm, yea I am… I just arrived in skyrim a few months ago" he said with a tired voice

"You look like you could use some rest, do you want a room?"

Dragon finished his food and got up

"No, I just need to clear my head"

He walks outside to see one of the prisoners get there head removed from the executioners axe, He walked behind the tower and sat down to escape the noise but only to hear a strange echo from the sky and looked up

"What was that, maybe just the wind" he closed his eyes to drown out the noise

He heard the cry across the sky again but this time he didn't look up. A few moments later the Argonian gets up and walks towards the keep and stops in his tracks to he hear a monstrous roar and fire starts falling from the sky. He started walking to the sound when a Nord woman crashes into him sending him on his back with her on top of him. They both tried getting to their feet but since she was bound it was difficult

"Cut the binds" she yelled

The Argonian flipped her over to where he was on top of her and grabbed her wrists

"Hold still, this may take a minute"

In a few short seconds his claws cut through the bindings and they both get on their feet. She ran off towards the keep and yelled back to him

"RUN BEFORE THE DRAGON GETS YOU" then disappeared into the keep

The Argonian scratched his forehead confused

"Dragon… What dragon"

When something crashes to the ground behind him causing him to lose his balance, when he turned around his body froze in fear and his eyes widened, this was the dragon the Nord woman warned him about. The dragon then started stomping towards him as the shaking of the ground knocked him on his back. Still in shock he saw the dragon stand over him looking him dead in the eyes

"Aan Siigonis" the dragon said (an Argonian)

The dragon looked Dragon-Scale-Skin over and saw that he was something different and with one stomp forward the claw from the dragons wing impaled his leg. He screamed in pain and the claw tore through his scales and almost shattered his bone, the blood ran down the tore pants and splattered against the dragons black claw. Finally the dragon took to the sky leaving him to his fate. The Argonian tried to stand up but his impaled left leg wasn't going to let him go anywhere, as his vision began to blur he saw a lot of figures running up to him and couldn't understand what they say, a few seconds after, he blacked out.

Dragon-Scale-Skin woke to the pain in his leg and looked around to saw a burning town, he concentrated on his Histskin power and in seconds the wounded leg healed

"That's better" he said in a relaxed tone

"Wait…"

He then heard a woman talking to an Orc wearing steel armor with a steel mace, as he got up on his feet he got dizzy all of a sudden and started swerving to the left then the right. He heard the clashing of steel and saw the Orc walking his way, the Orc came up to him and kneed him in the gut causing him to drop to his hands and knees and started coughing up blood; he looked up at the Orc as the Orc lifted his mace above his head

"Time to die"

Then something inside him told him to roll to the side, as Dragon rolled to the side he saw the mace leave a hole in the ground where his head was and Dragon-Scale-Skin got to his feet and ran towards the Orc tackling him to the ground. The Argonian clawed at his face over and over again until he had blood all over his hands and torso, when he stopped he saw that the Orc's face has been clawed to the point where you couldn't recognize him anymore. Dragon-Scale-Skin got off the Orc and turned around to the sound of combat, when he looked behind him he saw an Imperial taking on three of the other bandits unarmed. This Imperial was different from the others because he didn't wear steel or iron armor; he wore this black and red skin tight armor along with a mask covering his face. Dragon started running towards them and tackled the bandit towards the wall, he grabbed the steel sword that hit the ground and planted it into the bandit's chest feeling the blood spray against his face and seeing the bandit die almost instantly. He stands up then gets tackled to the ground

"U seem to be something different from the rest of the Argonian's is skyrim… too bad you need to die"

He looked at her as he struggled to get free

"Wrong move"

Then he spiraled his tail around her throat and threw her off him. He gets up and starts walking towards her as she got up and pulled out a glass dagger

"I'll gut you like a fish"

Then from behind her a pair of hands grabbed her head and twisted it to one side hearing a snap in her neck, and then she dropped to the ground dead. Dragon saw it was the Imperial who took on the other two bandits

"Who are you?" he said with a questioning voice

He walked up to Dragon and looked him in the eyes

"My name is Valek-Shadow-Walker, I was sent here to kill these bandits".
