When I arrived I was met with resistance from a wizard person! It was tough and I spent a lot of time retreating and hiding to recover from wounds before setting out again. Kat wasn't really much help and Shadowmere wasn't around because I was exploring on foot. Eventually I got her killed and touched the stone to receive it's powers.
I then continued exploring only to see this. A burned up cart! I knew, a dragon had done it!
The sun was setting and still I was alone. I began to worry about Kat, that I had lost him again. I turned to look out over the hill the way I came and finally saw his tiny figure hoofing it up toward me. There you are! We then spent the night there.
The next morning my attention was drawn to a cave placed suspiciously in the side of the hill I had slept against. It was near the burned cart. I entered to find a curious sight, lots and lots of animals! They didn't attack me until I entered though and I fought them all off. Once the animals were no longer a distraction I noticed a dead person on the large rock in the middle. There was nothing of value on him. Further exploring of the small cave showed this was a shrine to Kynerith apparently! Too bad there wasn't really anything valuable inside.
I exited the cave then and looked to a trail that I had been eyeing ever since yesterday, that heads up the mountain. My curiosity was too great and I supposed it was time to head up that trail and see what was at the top. When I finally reached the top the sight of a huge dragon perched on a pedistal greeted me, it had not yet seen me, and I cursed myself for being so stupid! How could I not see this comming?! The burned cart down below, how the trail was so much like the others i've previously experienced leading to dragons! I was so dumb! Now I have to fight the dragon, simply leaving wasn't an option for me.
I was using a series of leech life shouts to kill it, which would take FOREVER I knew! But it was a lot safer than risking my life by trying to get slices in with my swords. I was chased by the dragon to a near by farm and while I was dodging fireballs, seeking windows to leech life him again, and making sure the dragon didn't kill my Kat a courier suddenly appeared and demanded my attention!
It was just a stupid invitation to the newly opened museum in Dawnstar. I SWEAR if this invitation gets me killed by this dragon i'm going to go there and DESTROY the whole place!
Try as I might the dragon was just too good of aim and kept hitting me with flame after flame. I watched my health repeatedly dwindle lower and lower. The rain continued to pound around me making this whole ordeal VERY uncomfortable and difficult to fight in! I hate the rain!
After all of my health potions were gone and all of my food was gone I had no choice but to retreat! I spotted the inside of the mill at the farm and quickly ducked inside like a dog with it's tail between it's legs! The dragon's flames followed me the whole way and blocked the door after I entered. I could feel my tail scorched behind me, but luckily I was still alive!
As soon as my breathing calmed and I stopped panicking from the fear I was about to die I realized that I had just cornered myself in the BEST POSSIBLE WAY ever!! Now I had unlimited protection, like a turtle's shell, and darted out when the dragon was distracted and close enough to leech life him! Meanwhile the farmer's guards and Kat continued to distract and fight the dragon outside! This was great!!
As you can see it eventually lead to the dragon's defeat!
With the dragon's soul under my belt I let out a sigh of relief at still being alive, gathered Kat, and began the trek back up the mountain to the dragon's perch to collect my rewards. A shout and some loot. What made it even better was on the way up the sky cleared and the sun came out, shining brighter than ever! It was as if the game knew that I had just won a glorious battle.
I left the mountain and descended into a valley between the two. I'd have to cross the valley to get to the other mountain. I was met by a few dead people and one living. I went over to see what happened when I was attacked! Apparently this scavenger killed them to scavenge their loot or something. Poor guy had to die by my blade.
Then I saw this..
I found a burnt person with this scroll by his body. Apparently a conjured flame atronach got angry.
Eventually I made it to the second mountain top and approached the structure. It looked like some kind of fort and nobody was around. I found some dead bodies, like this, inside some of the open areas. Finding these people only created a mystery, why were they dead and who or what killed them?
A little further into the structure I was surprised to find a single living soul. I approached to talk but he wanted to fight!
On his body after I killed him was this note. Apparently someone sent him and his men to this structure to retrieve a mask. Uh oh, sounds like a quest to me... I'm not really in the mood to do an official quest right now, but I can't just turn around and leave! I feel like I have no choice.
Here are some of the dragon cult men in the same room the died. Their skeletons were still in the beds in some cases. It's actually a little bit of a sad story.
I was met with that throughout the whole fort... except at the very end. I began comming upon what looked like burnt corpses.. Uh oh.. I smell a dragon in my immediate future.. which is a HORRIBLEthing! There is no way I can fight one and survive by myself. Each step from then on was met with extreme caution and apprehension... and anxiety.
Like I thought, there was a super hard boss on the other side, but it wasn't a dragur. It was a Gloom Wraith! I have never fought one of these before! He turned out to be extremely tough. I didn't die, but almost! JUUUUUST when one last hit would have killed me and the wraith's arm was lowering to bestow upon me that hit, my own hit struck first and he was down!
