    Epic story hon!! The shots and your flawless narrative worked together harmoniously to create a Mesmerising tale of the battle atop High Hrothgar. I love how even in the face if that most dire fiend the 'band' have each other's backs. True heroes every one of them. Wonderful work dear!

      Means a lot to hear you say that my narrative and shots worked so well together to create such a tale of that battle among the howl of the wind, was a bit challenging to figure out how to tell it. When danger is near they sure are all the more watchful for each other, I am happy you love that support they have for each other. They would be flattered to be called heroes. Thank you so much, dear Jess ^^

    WOW!!! Epic face off of the mighty Alduin! Loved how you told the story with the wonderful Khajiit flavor! Alduin will think twice before facing "These ones" again!!!!
    GREAT work Kami!

      Hehe, wonderful to get such a reaction, was quite the face off for them indeed with that great devourer. Makes me smile that you like that khajiit touch to the story. I think he has learned a lesson that he will not soon forget at their claws Thanks so much, Aok ^^

    One of your best tales to date for me Kami. Epic in scope but well grounded thanks to your ability to have a warm and loving band of comrades looking out for each other combined with the fantastic descriptions of the world around them.

    The way they use humor to deal with the harsh reality they are about to face (no way to sneak from the cold is great) as they make the climb to face part of his destiny. The battle was well described and the images were superb. I enjoyed how Parthanaux addressed others in the party and had good words for others in the group besides the Dragonborn.

    On a side note it has now been over 2 years since I completed the final questline. I only did it once - my first character who completed the game around early Decemberof 2011. I played with no mods or enbs (since at the time I had little awareness of them outside of a single hairy chest mod lol). Since then I have had only one other main character, my Orsimer "Varg the Reluctant Paladin" and he was not Dragonborn but a Vampire and Undead hunter as well as the Arch-mage of the College.

    Anyhow the point being I am on my third, and most likely last ... as I do things in threes ... character for Skyrim (Grimulfr of course) and you got me very excited to do the quest line again. I remember it fondly and full enjoyed it - when I first played I was utterly immersed in the game. In some ways not modding or using ENBs was better for that as I was not constantly distracted by "tweaking" every part of my game. But it still has a lot of magic left for me and I am so looking forward to more of the quest line. But Grim still has some things he needs to do before he meets Delphine in 4 months. But you got me looking forward to it even more with this tale.

      Means a lot to hear you say that this chapter was one of my best so far for you, was actually a bit unsure about it myself. I am really glad that warmth among the group, can't help writing about the group like that, and my descriptions make for a grounded tale ^^

      They do like to break the tension a little with a few amusing words and a chuckle here and there, helps them keep focused by clearing away a bit of that nervousness when their path brings them to danger. Great to hear I captured the battle well with my words as well as the images. Wanted him to give a little nod to the others in the group with a few words.

      Has been quite a while since I did the final questline as well and I have also only done it once with my very first character without mods since there were not many at the time. For a time my main character was Akhaz'iir then I could not resist making all kinds of other characters, now Akhaz'iir and Edrelle are my main characters. I am happy I have made you excited to do those quests again with my tale, returning to those quests after a while did make me see the fun in them all over again

    Une grande et excellente partie de l'histoire avec de magnifiques images, j'adore celle ou le groupe approche de Paarthurnax avec la neige qui tombe, sublime !
    Je vois qu'ils ont combattu avec un grand courage Alduin, mais malheureusement il n'est pas vaincu, au moins il est affaiblit.
    Paarthurnax est un puissant et admirable allié qui a réussi à surmonter sa vraie nature intérieure et sa soif de pouvoir, tout ce que j'espère c'est qu’aucun d'entre eux ne se laissera corrompre par les Lames

      Un gros merci, Basstos, heureux que tu aie aimé cette partie de l'histoire et ses images, l'atmosphère change vite sur cette montagne et ce Paarthurnaax est toujour intéressant à rencontrer ^^
      Sachant bien les forces de leur companions ils ont une grande confiance, au moins affaiblit il ne reviendra pas rapidement après cette lesson douloureuse.
      Il as certainement une grande sagesse et un grand calme pour avoir surmonté sa nature c'est sur, ils ont tous une grande volonté surtout ensemble donc il ont peu de chance de se laisser corrompre

    I so enjoyed watching how each of this amazing team faced the world eater, from the track up the windy slope to standing in front of the wonderful Paathurnax, he is one of my favorites in all of Skyrim, I have enjoyed each conversation with him and always wished for more. I love how he showed Dear Scouts sister the honor of telling her how well she did in battle, they way this team interacted all for one and one for all... is refreshing in a world such as Skyrim with its every one out for themselves at times, its nice to see how close they all are, protecting and loving each other.


    Amazing shots, love the last one of t hem all standing finally back at the bottom, rest in sight but my favorite of all is shot of the 4 of them standing united around the votex, was a powerful shot, showing how they are united in all things even this.. Amazing story with words the flowed to tell a tale of family and love of Skyrim to give all to protect it.

      Makes me smile that you so enjoyed seeing the group face that shadowy Alduin, their climb up that treacherous path and their meeting with that wise old Paarthurnax, her is a very interesting sort, I also which their was more conversations with him with his unique perspective on things. He really wanted to honor how she fought by her brother's side, hoping his encouraging words would help them stay safe. They know that standing together is all the more important in those times, so glad you like to see that fondness between them, the way the always keep an eye on each other ^^

      Great to hear you think so, that last one was one that I liked with the warm haze of the fire, rest is indeed near, I ma happy that vortex shot really caught your attention, even if they could not follow him to that battle of the past they stood with him till his return, ready to help. Thank you so much, Heaven, really the way you see the tale, family and love are certainly a major part of what the tale is about

      Was quite the chaotic battle to capture in shots and words, I am really glad you enjoyed it, Heidi ^^

      I quite like that wise old dragon too, his deep calm voice, wonderful to hear you love the shot of him

    Excellent continuation of scout's tale and so wonderfully written! Awesome shots too, so very beautiful and atmospheric! The shot capturing Alduin in all his dark glory is amazing, it is one of my favorites! As always your descriptions of nature and heroes surroundings continue to amaze with beautiful details they are written and how real these scenes become...
    It was very hard trial for Akhaz'iir and his friends, to face Alduin again, though now Akhaz'iir has a new power to fight with infamous black dragon. And I doubt Alduin has expected to find Dragonborn not alone but surrounded by his family and friends who are ready to risk their lives for each other. I really doubt that someone as malicious and selfish as Alduin will ever understand what concepts of love and friendship mean. It is great how later when Alduin has retreated Paarthurnax has acknowledged Dar'Akshara and her heroism, though all heroes did great, and it is great to see again what a deep loving bond that brother and sister have. Also it was very heartwarming to hear the compliments that Aela and her beloved scout said to each other. I am looking forward to see how they will meet with Odahviing, for he is not only rush and bold, but very headstrong too!

      Thank you so much, Nataly, kept getting stuck while writing this chapter, so I am relieved to hear you found it wonderfully written. That mountain had quite the sights to show on that day, glad I captured some of that atmosphere. I did like how he hung above the scout in the sky almost like a silhouette in that shot, great to hear it caught your eye. Means a lot to me that my descriptions always have that effect, you amaze me with the way you depict emotions in your descriptions
      It was indeed quite the trial to face the world-eater, that shout is sure to keep other dragons at bay. I am sure you are right that he did not expect those that stood with him to fight fiercely as he did, a stinging lesson her learned from the close-knit group. Twisted as he has become he certainly is blind to the strength of the bond between family and friends. Glad you liked the encouraging words Paarthurnax had for her, knowing how she watch over him, the time the siblings were apart did seem to make their bond even stronger. Aela and Akhaz'iir do take pride in each others strengths, sharing those warm words. That meeting might be interesting, I do still remember how he and Dannee interacted with each other, we will see how he deals with each one of the group ^^
