A Goddess Adventure - Skyrim Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Bloodline

As Lila read the information that was written about the Dawnguards she slowly turned her mind into what vampire hunters do, of course she knew they hunted vampires and killing them but also wondered why were vampires that great a treat that they had to kill them, while traveling up she did see at some points a few pale faced travels being attacked by a group of armored warriors which worried her but then slowly became afraid as she saw one pale face person tear apart of the men attacking them by biting into their neck.

Was it just a war between the two of them? Lila wondered as she gartered her things to leave “ Lila where are you going? “ Genie asked as he poofed in front of her “ I wanted to see about this Dawnguard group and these vampires .. I just interest me and I would like to look into “.

Genie crossed his arms as he looked down at his friend “ Come on Genie, It’s not that bad we’ve been through worse you know that like how we were almost eaten by mud people and Mozenrath being a prick all the time “ Lila said bluntly causing Genie to laugh a bit before smiling at her “ Alright I know I can’t stop you anyway “ he said as he poofed back into his lamp.

Lila walked outside before locking her house door, as she walked into the town centre she noticed a few of the Dawnguard members all gartered and looking at a map of what looked to be a cave “ Psst Genie find out where that cave is? “ Lila said as she rubbed on Genie’s lamp as he nodded and zipped towards the members in his smaller form to see what they were talking about.

“ Dimhollow Crypt that’s where most of the vampire are? Aren’t they? “ One member said pointing at the map which Genie took note of “ Yeah That’s what the leader said and one of our leaders are there also if I remember right or another member ..it should be okay? I’m sure there ok “ another member said.

Genie then flew back to Lila “ Dimhollow Crypt that’s where there a headed “ Genie said before poofing back into the lamp.

Lila then pulled up her cape up as she walked outside the gates of Solitude and made herself down the hill to where the crypt was kept “ Ok so by what the map says it near DawnStar “ Lila said looking at the map while Genie floated by her “ Well you know where Dawnstar is so let’s just do this “ Genie snapped his fingers as he teleported themselves just outside Dawnstar.

“ Oh thank you Genie now it says we have to climb that mountain then there are some stairs going up and it’s just there “ Lila said as she put the map back into her bag.

The two made their way up into the mountains which slowly made it slightly more heavy while walking because of the stairs crumbling away as Lila stepped up and up upon the it. As Lila made her way up she slowly saw two people waiting outside the crypt with black looked to be an angry hound dog who both walked into crypt as they discussed the issue of a Dawnguard member getting in the way which the hound growled at.

“ There properly the vampires “ Lila said as she took out her sword and flared up some of her own spark magic.

“ Be careful alright “ Genie said “ I’ll take care of the dog you take care of the vampire “ he added.

“ Alright.. ready go! “ Lila said as she rushed into the crypt causing the vampire to look back at her as she blasted some of her own magic at them causing one to fall down from the shock of the waves and the other to be stabbed by Lila’s sword. Genie how ever put the hound in a cage “ Genie he’s gonna get out of that “ Lila said pointing at the hound with her sword.

“ No he won’t He’ll behave when I give him a treat! Here boy “ Genie said as his magic to bring up a bone which the hound then bit at causing Genie to step back a little “ No bad dog! No treat for you! “.

“ Come on Genie, let’s go in more “ she said as she waved her hand at him.

Lila pushed the cavern door open as they made their way down into the dragur dead walk path way, passing a few Vampire coffins and dragur coffins as they walked through.  They made their way into the top floor of the structure which on the side of a wall had a chain which Genie pulled causing an gate to open up to the other side of the room.

The next room was open to a few vampires to stop the two in their path as they garthered their own magic and brought back to life a few skeletons “ Genie turn into the sun, I read that vampire turn to dust! “ Lila said as she battled the skeletons off them, Genie gave her a thumbs up as he transformed into a blazing red hot sun causing the vampires to back off and hide but three of the vampires had turned to dust where the last two hid in the coffins.

Genie had changed back “ Lila take care of the last two and I’ll smash up these skeletons “ he said as he transformed his hand into a mallet smashing a few of the skeletons out the way as Lila made her way to send some shocking magic into the vampires bodies causing them to drop dead on the spot.

Genie had just smashed the last one “ That was interesting.. but there are a few bodies around they were properly feeding off these guys “ he said pointing at a few dead bodies of some Dawnguard members.

“ It looks like they properly needed that back up “ Lila said as followed Genie up the flight of stairs leading to a ledge where a chest was found “ Genie can you unlock that? “ she asked pointing at the chest, Genie nodded as he pushed himself inside of it, hearing an unlocking sound Genie had opened up the chest to find a few small amount of gold coins which were in small bags and a potion, Lila only took the gold “ Why aren’t you taking the potion? “ Genie asked.

“ I don’t need it .. I’m a goddess I don’t need potions “ Lila replied as she made a left into the next hallway which lead up to another gate which the two of them pasted “ I’m taking it anyway in case you do need it and.. what are you doing? “ Genie watched Lila as she harvested some glowing mushrooms from the ground “ They look pretty “ Lila replied as she placed the mushrooms into her bag.

 “ There are a few dead zombies things here I think some Dawnguard or vampires have been here “ Lila said as she made her way into an the next entrance before heading down the stairs to find a vampire and a hound fighting off a dragur. Genie and Lila watched the two fight but it lead into the dragur killing both the vampire and the hound, Lila then rushed forward and stabbed the dragur into the ground killing it.

After dealing with a few more dragur Lila and Genie followed the hallway into another set of stairs which lead into a room filled with four gated doors which each had a chain either side. “ Alright I think these are timed so when I open the gates Lila you rush forward and I’ll just teleport next to you “ Genie explained as he put his hand on the first chain.

Lila nodded as she watched the gate doors open, she then rushed through all four of the gates leading into another hallway but waited for Genie to appear next to her before moving on, as they made their way into the next chamber.

The chamber contained a few corpse of large spiders “ Eghh eww spiders glad they’re dead “ Genie said as he quickly made his way past them but was stopped by two vampires and there hounds “ Oh.. er.. nice doggies .. err want a treat! “ Genie asked but the answer was clearly a growl “ I take that as a no then “ Genie joked as he rushed back to Lila.

Lila then waved her sword at them causing flares of flames to come off from the sword causing the vampires and hounds to step back a bit but being wavy of Lila’s weapon which sparked up an idea as she looked at the spilled oil under the vampire feet, she quickly hit her sword onto the ground as she watched the oil set alight with flames as she watched the vampires and hound burn in their place and drop dead.

“ That was a great idea Lila! “ Genie said giving her a thumbs up as he followed her into the next room where a small wooden door was found Lila pushed the doors open, the two of them made their way into the Dimhollow Cavern.

As Lila and Genie entered the Cavern which Lila then sneaked forward to overhear a vampire interrogating a Dawngaurd member “ Tell me what you know?! Now?! You moral idiot! “ The vampire said but the Dawngaurd member laughed at the vampire as if he was dying on the spot “ I won’t tell you anything .. you blood retain monster… “ in that moment he died which caused the other vampire to rage at the dead corpse in front of him.

But the vampire then grew wide eyed as he looked up in Lila detraction “ I smell blood.. it’s not moral either.. but it is alive .. followers! Go find this intruder! Now! “ The vampire said as he made his way up the flight of stairs just left to Lila “ Wait I thought.. I don’t have blood.. I have energy .. so why.. “ Lila asked “ Maybe it’s because in this world the magic that is mixed within you has made you part moral somehow “ Genie explained as he helped Lila up as he was ready to defend her.

“ I found her! “ A another vampire said before she was shocked to death by Lila’s magic “ That does make kind of sense I mean when You and Aladdin gang switched places for a day you were turned into a moral state “ Lila said as she made her way through battling the vampires off her and Genie.

“ You! What are you doing here? Moral you are not welcome..welco… oh .. “ before the head Vampire could speak anymore Lila had stabbed him right where his heart was “ You .. moral .. I hate you.. eghh .. but this won’t be the end! “ The head vampire then tried to bit Lila but was hit on the head by Genie “ Don’t you dare lay your fangs on her! “ Genie yelled causing Lila to stab the vampire in deeper killing him.

Lila pulled her sword from the vampire body as she made her way into the next part of the cavern “ Lila look what’s that?  “ Genie asked pushing the vampire away from Lila as he pointed at the stone structure of a dominates of the chamber.

Lila made her way into the middle of the chamber, she looked down at an button in the middle which she pushed which then a pedestal in the centre brought up a spike that emerged in the middle “ I guess I have to put my hand there “ Lila said as she then pushed her hand into the spike causing drops of blood to spilt down into it. The blood then turned purple causing purple light to shine up from the floor.

As this happened the braziers from the floor raised up in some order, Genie was watching by the sides at the moment and gathering some lost coin but still kept his eye on what Lila was doing. Lila then moved the braziers into where the purple light was being brought up on showing more onto the path causing a pattern to expand towards the next brazier until she finally connected them all.

The centre of the structure then descended to revel a stone monolith beneath the pedestal as Lila walked towards it Genie had looked up at this moment “ What has she found now? “ He asked himself watching the contains of the pedestal revel itself as a mysterious women carrying what looked to be a scroll on her back “ A women?… “.

Lila looked at the details of the women’s features she was pale as the moon light, she also had short braded brown hair, she was wearing vampire clothing with a cloak, the women opened her eyes which landed on Lila. Lila then put her sword away as she looked at the women , she looked down at Lila back as she walked out.

“ Unhh.. where.. am I… wait who sent you here? “ she asked, Genie pushed an eyebrow down and gave the women a confused look as he watched the two talk.

“ No one sent I just was curious that’s all of the vampires and the dawngaurds.. “ Lila replied.

“ Oh there still around .. oh then your .. are you like me? “ she asked again which caused Lila to be confused “ Like you?.. um are you a .. um..”.

“ Vampire, yes “ she replied.

“ Oh you’re a vampire .. your very nice for a vampire .. all the vampire that I have in counted have been trying to kill me “ Lila replied.

“ Oh they were properly more outraged and long forgotten vampires “.

“ Um if I may ask why were you locked away like this? “ Lila asked causing the women to look away for a second “ That’s.. complicated.. and I’m not totally sure if I can trust you but If you want to know the whole story help me get back to my family home “ she replied.

“ I can do that I can take you home.. where is your home exactly? “.

“ My family used to live on an island to west of Solitude I would guess they still do .. by the way my name is Serana .. good to meet you “ Serana exchanged her hand to her which Lila then shook back “ My name is Lila nice too met you Serana “ as she smiled back at her.

The two of them made their way back to Genie who was leaning against a stone wall “ Oh .. is he with you? “ Serana asked.

“ Yes! This is my friend Genie “ Lila replied.

“ Genie this is Serana we’re gonna be taking her back to her family home “ Lila explained causing Genie to raise an eyebrow at her “ Lila.. not be to be rude or anything she is a vampire .. a vampire.. the things that tried to kill us while we were here “ he tried to point out but Lila then pushed back.

 “ Yes but she is different  to those other vampire and I saved her from this place so we have too well… I have too “ Lila said walking past him before waiting for him to follow her.

Genie sighed as she followed the two of them up into a small stone bridge which was closed off by two large gargoyles which tried to smash their way through towards the three of them “ Oh great there alive! “ Serana said as she pulled out two daggers.

“ I got this! “ Genie said turning his hands into a mallet yet again to smash the gargoyles to pieces “ Wow thank you “ Serana said putting her daggers away.

“ Thanks Genie “ Lila said as she followed Serana up into a few chambers were they battled off Skeletons and dragur out the way before making their way out of the cavern and back into the sun light which Serana had pulled up her hood to block it out.

“ I think it would be better for you if we travel at night to your home so for now we will return to my house which is in solitude and we can wait until nightfall or until the sun as set “ Lila explained as they made their way down the mountain and onto the main path way.

“ That .. would nice thank you but how will we get there? “ Serana asked.

“ I’ll do this “ Lila said as she waved her hand which caused a portal to open into her home “ Lila! Don’t show your powers! “ Genie exclaimed which Lila just waved her hands at “ Its fine Genie I can do what I want ok.. Serana just step inside “ Lila said guiding Serana into her home as she followed then so did Genie.

As they entered Lila home, she had then closed the portal behind them “ Make yourself at home and when it gets near to night fall I’ll help you get back home “ Lila explained “ Thank you Lila “ Serana said as she made herself up the stairs.

“ Lila what have I told you about using your goddess powers around people you don’t even know yet? “Genie asked.

“ I used them around you a lot and Aladdin so don’t pull this on me ok I want to help her and I will “ Lila replied back.

“ But Lila I’m not really sure you should be doing this just give her the map and let her be on her way “.

“ No I’m not doing that I saved her and I’m gonna help her ..” she said waving her hand which caused some pain as she looked back to it trying to quickly heal it with her own powers which helped a lot but Genie had noticed at the time “ Your bleeding but how.. does that work I mean your goddess… and … oh..oh I see you used that magic mortal blood while solving that puzzle .. oh so your attached to her by blood “.

“ So..Soo.. what I helped her .. even if it means I used this blood to help her escape from there but it was no one else was going too “.

“ Lila I think we should go back to Agrabah “

Lila looked at Genie who wore a worried expression “ I don’t like what is happening and .. I just don’t like this “.

Lila looked down before shaking her head “ I’m sorry Genie but no I won’t and if you do that’s fine I gave you the ability to be able to go to any world you want to anyway so you can go back home if you wish but I’m staying here until I have taken Serana back to her home “ Lila explained.

“ Lila.. fine I’ll wait here for you until you take her back “ Genie said.

“ Thank you Genie.. “.

The two waited until nightfall, when it came to the time Lila waved off to Genie as she guided Serana out of Solitude and onto the main path way leading up to a boat which would help take Serana back home as they made their way up it was silent but this was broken for a moment as they were on the boat rowing its way back to Serana home.

“ I’m sorry about causing an argument between you and your friend .. its properly because I’m a Vampire isn’t it .. its ok I get it “ Serana said

“ Oh no its fine you don’t need to be sorry Genie gets like this a lot he worries about me a lot since I’m stranger than a lot of other normal girls I’m not normal I’m just different and that’s why he protects even though I’m far more power than he is .. but that’s not the point he just misses his home that’s all “ Lila explained as she rowed.

“ Oh we’re here .. and hey Lila .. I’m really glad I met you.. “ Serana said as almost as a whisper which Lila smiled at slightly as she looked at the huge castle which she was looking up at, as the boat floated itself at the dock the two walked off and walked up the bridge and onto the main doors where “ Lila let me talk don’t say anything just let me do the talking ok “ Serana said which Lila nodded in agreement.

“ Lady Serana your.. alive .. “ The outdoor spokesmen said in excitement “ Yes I am thanks to my savour here now let us in and let me see my father “ Serana said, the outdoor spokesmen looked at Lila for a moment before nodding and letting the two inside.

“ What is this? Who are you? And what… Lady Serana.. oh I see your back.. I will inform your father .. but what of this .. this.. “ A vampire said as he looked Lila up and down in digest which Serana then glared at him for before he left “ Ladies and gentlemen may I gladly present Lady Serana and her guest “.

Lila looked up as the guests in all of the main hall as the main vampire which was Serana father came into view “ Ah my elder scroll finally returns itself to me “.

“ and your daughter “ Serana said making her way down to her father “ Lila this is my father Lord Harkon, Father is this Lila she saved me “ Serana explained.

“ Ah yes, you seem very different than most mortals that I have seen in this world .. thank you for bring my Elder scroll back…oh and my daughter now.. I must re pay you I think will you take my gift it would be such a waste if you didn’t and a great disrespect “ Harkon said as he looked to Lila.

Lila looked back to Serana who said nothing “ Um.. Yes of course I’ll take your gift “ Lila said which everyone in the room then clapped for as Harkon then stepped forward to her which made Lila feel almost dizzy as a sharp feeling came in causing Lila to faint.

In moments of the dizziness Lila felt herself being awaken by something like something now living inside her as if she was somewhat live but dead at the same time but she felt this way even as a goddess who what new pain was this was it the gift that Serana father had given her she tried to awake herself another time again but then as she opened her eyes she felt different in a way as if she was someone else which confused her a lot.

As she woke up she turned to see Serana standing up a wall next to her “ Oh your awake! Oh thank god you fainted a second time after you were with my father and I got worried so I took you to the only bed we have in the castle .. Lila are you ok? “ Serana asked nervously as she looked up at her new friend.

“ I’m feel like …. What happened to me I remember seeing blood and it being on me and it was everywhere and I can’t… what happened.. I need to go home “ Lila said.

“ Wait! Before you do I’ll help you .. a moment “ Serana said as she then touched Lila making her feel like she was changing in some sort of way and as if she bones hers changing back into her normal state “ What was that feeling? Serana what happened to me? “ Lila pleaded.

Serana looked down for a moment before looking back at her, Lila watched her lips and froze.

Genie had waited over a day for Lila to return back, he had opened a portal back at the house so he and Lila could get back home without any duly “ Come on Lila, where are you? “ he asked as he watched outside the window, the sound of a door unlocking was heard from downstairs exciting Genie “ Oh finally, Lila Your back.. with Serana.. “ Genie face frowned.

“ Lila you promised we could return home .. come on please “ he pleaded which lead Lila too keep her head down as she put her hands on Genie bracelets which allowed him to make portals as she did “ I’m sorry Genie I can’t go back home , I can’t live there anymore but you can .. but you can visit me in other times ok .. “ Lila tried to explain in a painful voice and tone which worried Genie.

“ Lila.. why are you looking away from me what happened.. what did you do to her? “ Genie asked looking up at Serana “ It was her choice not mine “ Serana said looking away.

“ Go home Genie go.. “ Lila said as she pulled the portal that he made and pushed him into it, “ Lila! “ Genie, Genie was then left with the portal closed by Lila herself leaving a worried Genie in Agrabah.
