I held on to Odahviing's neck in a grip created by years of sword handling. He only tried once to shake me off but after some of my breakfast ended up landing in his ear, he gave that up.

"This is pretty amazing," I admitted to him, "You've got quite a lot of control in the air."

"Of course, Dovahkiin," the old dragon said, "There is little we dragons can not do."

"Yes, well, that is how it seems."

"Hmmph. You sound as if you have your doubts."

"Perhaps. I don't suppose you could, say, hover silently and hit a target standing on the ground?"

"Pah. That is dragon flying 101."

"If you say so."

Flames spit from the dragon's snout. "Who do you want hit?"

"Well, there is this one guy..."

A few minutes later Odahviing, trying to hover while chuckling, settled over the bustling town of Whiterun again.

"Do you see him?" I asked.

"My eyes are sharper than your human ones. Of course I see him, it can be no other here."

"Let it rip, then, my friend. Send him a nice hot stinking gift from the real cloud district."

Odahviing laughed then his face contorted with effort for a moment then he sighed. "Pinch away!"

I watched just long enough to see everyone's buddy, Nazeem disappear beneath our little, or rather not so little, offering. I patted twice on the dragon's neck and we were off once again.

"Excellent, my friend," I said, "When i am in charge, I'm putting you in charge of training the marksmen of my dragon army. Now, to Skuldafn, and beyond!"

So what is this, and what is it for?

Real Roleplay topics are fictionalized retellings of actual gameplay(mostly). It is meant to show how others like to play and imagine the game and to maybe renew players' interests that may have waned. Also, for some, it is simply fun to write and read when you may need a few minutes to kill.

I used to do that with Ocarina of Time, just not on this scale. Make up stories and dialogue as you run around, sometimes just running for the sake of storytelling. Do you need an entirely new campaign or can you lift off from one you've already started on?

Create your own thread and start wherever you want, or if just a short idea, search out the real roleplay brief story thread and try there first.

The ride to Skuldafn did not take as long as I thought and not nearly as long as I wished. I would never admit it to an already arrogant dragon, but once I was back on the ground, I felt like something had been taken from me.

"Welcome to Skuldafn, Dragonborn," Odahviing said. "Did you enjoy your ride?"

"It was passably tolerable, though I think my eyes will take an hour to close from the cold air freezing them open."

"So much the better. You will need your eyes open for what awaits you. I must take my leave before I am spotted but I will warn you, the door to the temple is up around the right. If you make it through, there is a dragon priest guarding the portal. He is dour and nasty, even for a priest. Good luck, Dovahkiin."

"Until we meet again, Odahviing," I said as the old dragon prepared to leave. "Tell the other dragons I will be fair so long as they know who is number one around here."

"I believe they have your number already, Dovah."

Odahviing took off and I unsheathed my sword and the staff Lydia gave me. "Lets start this off right," I said and summoned Kynval.

The Daedra Lord appeared, his sword ready to cut. "What is this place? Wait, where is Lydia, human? What have you done with her?"

"Calm down, dark and gravelly," I said, "Lydia couldn't come here so she gave you to me to use. Now that I'm in control, I expect a bit more respect from you."

"You'll get whatever respect you deserve by using that sword you hold so delicately. What happened to your greatsword?"

"I hurt my shoulder."

"Aww, too heavy for little human boy?"

"It was a battle injury, hornhead, and I can hold my own with a sword and shield against any opponent."

"You mean like them?"

I looked to where Kynval was pointing. Two draugr were headed towards us, their swords held high for battle.

"Yeah, like them. Now, let's get into this temple so I can move this along, unless you're afraid I'll upstage you among your undead buddies?"

"Bah," Kynval growled then ran towards the gruesome grey zombies.

These draugr turned out to not be the typical run of the mill jaw-draggers. It did not help matters that two more draugr began hitting us with arrows from further away. Then things really got heated up when a dragon swept down and began setting me on fire. I didn't want to think that maybe Odahviing set me up, but the reception seemed to be ready for quite a lot.

Unfortunately for them, it still was not enough to deal with me.

The first two draugr finally fell, though I had to re-summon Kynval once to give the archers another target. The dragon chose to hover and spray his breath around, but that was easily evaded, just annoying. The draugr archers were slightly easier to slay but then the dragon landed, blocking the way I was told to go. I kept Kynval on scene while I took my time with my bow, whittling the dragon's health down from behind a stone pillar. Finally I could tell he was weakening so I downed some invigorating vegetable soup I keep at all times and charged in with my sword and shield. His flames were a nuisance whenever bashing him did not rattle him enough to stop. He died, flopping over in what looked like a siezure until his soul's flame erupted out of him and warmed my own.

"I suppose you will do until I can be returned to Lydia," Kynval said, sheathing his sword. "Try not to get yourself killed, boy. I don't want one of these bone-shamblers getting a hold of me."

"Afraid you might like it?"

"This time, you've gone too faaaaaah."

The Draemora Lord vanished and I enjoyed the silence as I proceeded. The silence lasted only a few moments before another dragon launched into the air from a perch to my left. I noticed more draugr running towards me as well. This sucks, and here I just ticked off my helper.

My shoulder may be injured, but my legs were just fine. I could easily outrun these pathetic corpses and I did not see the point to wasting my resourses out here. I doubted there would be a trading post anywhere around to buy more potions or food. I gritted my teeth and broke into a full run towards the temple. I did not need Kynval's help to avoid the arrows that suddenly seemed to be raining down from every direction. The dragon flew up from behind me, this one's breath a frosty white. I stopped behind a pillar until he passed. His breath would not bother me much as a Nord, but it could slow me down. I took a quick look around and spotted the largest door around and ran for that one.

Up some broken steps, two draugr were waiting for me. I evaded their pitiful swings, though one stopped to laugh evilly at me while banging his sword against his shield. I found it insulting so I did the same back at him then followed it up with a reply of my own.

"FUS-RO-DAH!"

He and his fellow dead-boy went flying off the landing onto the ruined steps. The dragon came in for another pass but I managed to put up my shield as I walked backwards to the door. I fell through just as his breath ceased.
