Yeol Clumsy #28 - Looking for a Book

Tirdas, 7th of Frostfall 4E201


I am the Dragonborn! I have to be... Too much has happened that otherwise wouldn't have. But who is the Dragonborn? Why did the Dragonborn revealed himself just now, and not when I was born, or during my childhood? I had too many questions.

My first reflex was asking the court wizard of Whiterun, because he studied dragons after all for a long time.

Consulting the court wizard of Whiterun
But the court wizard didn't knew more. He referred to a book entitled "The Book of the Dragonborn", but the only copy he knew, was at the Winterhold's College.

The next day I packed for the cold north: Winterhold. Halfway weather became bad, freezing cold, wind and snow slowed my progress. I had to halt several times to warm up at a camp fire.

Sheltering against the cold
I arrived at the College. I never used magic my entire life, but using a simple healing spell (they sold!) was enough to be admitted. Remarkable! Immediately I headed for the Arcanaeum, the library of the College. I found the book by coincidence quickly, and read it with utmost attention.

Entering the College
The Book of the Dragonborn
I read about the origin, the history, the people who were Dragonborn and lots of theories... and then... one line about me: the Last Dragonborn! A book written many ages ago, mentioned my appearance:

... The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last Dragonborn...


So, my appearance is because of The World-Eater. Alduin came to devour the world, I have been send, maybe by Akatosh himself, to be some kind of an answer. ... But.... Alduin is godlike... more then just a creature, a beast, a monster... I have to fight... a God?!

When I left the College, and came outside, I saw Azura. It felt as a sign. As I saw the statue, I had to go there, visit the shrine. So I did...

The Shrine of Azura in the distance
Next day I came home, at Breezehome. Home, where nothing matters. Home where I'm safe, where time doesn't exist, where I can be myself... I am Yeol the Clumsy!
Breezehome, my home! (Sofia preferred to stay at the Bannered Mare... because, you know... Lydia)
