Do'gazdul didn't even seem to notice as his back was clad in metal, it didn't take long for them to reach the skaal village, on the way passing by the beast stone, although Do'gazdul was largely unaffected by it as they hurried towards the Village.

As they entered they could see three men in meditation, focusing on what looked like a ritual of some sort. "Frea! What news do you bring? Is there a way to free our people?" an old man who appeared to be the shaman spoke, not looking up from the ritual.

"No, but I have brought someone who has seen things... She has confirmed that Miraak is the one behind the suffering of our people." Frea noted as she gestured towards Alyssa, who waved jokingly.

"I feared that it would be so." Storn sighed, distraught at the news of Miraaks' return.

Frea walked up to her father "But how is that possible? After all this time..." she asked

"I fear there is much we do not yet know." he said and he lifted his head to look at the group.

Alyssa stepped forward, approaching them, at the same time Do'gazdul simply pushed Nathyn off his shoulder, dropping him on the ground.

"So, you have seen things, yes? My magic grows weak, and so does the barrier around our village. Time is short. Tell me what you know." Storn asked as Frea sat down next to him.

"Very well." Alyssa began "I've seen Miraak.He is behind what's happening to your people. I read a book in Miraak's temple, and went somewhere. Miraak was there."

"The legends speak of that place. Terrible battles fought at the temple. The dragons burning it to the ground in rage. They speak also of something worse than dragons buried within. Difficult to imagine, but if true... It means what I feared has come to pass. Miraak was never truly gone, and now has returned. If you could go to this place and see him... Are you like Miraak? Are you Dragonborn?"

Alyssa nodded in response "I defeated Alduin, and I can slay dragon and take their power."

"The old tales say that he, too, was Dragonborn. You are Dragonborn as well, then. Perhaps you are connected. It may mean that you could save us, or it may mean that you could bring about our destruction. But our time is running out. The few of us left free of control cannot protect ourselves for much longer. You must go to Saering's Watch. Learn there the Word Miraak learned long ago, and use that knowledge on the Wind Stone. You may be able to break the hold on our people there, and free them from control." Storn said

Alyssa looked at him "So this is what it comes down to again, a shout to save the planet..." she said quietly, somewhat disgruntled at the thought that it was always her duty to make it happen. "Fine, where is this Saering's Watch?"

"Saering's Watch is located on the north side of the island. Not far from the coast, up on a hill. That is where you'll find the shout you seek."

Alyssa sighed again, she looked at Nathyn who was probably way too drunk to fight, then at Talen, "Hope you're ready for Dragonslaying, Nathyn is probably too drunk to be of any use."

"All-Maker shelter you." Storn mentioned.

White Rdige Barrow

The two men from earlier had already reached White Ridge Barrow and broken through the hordes of  Draugr, Reavers and Spiders with little to no effort on their end. Dukaan was dealt with. having been torn to shreds by a freak natural disaster, a hurricane that happened within the chamber. The mask they took with them as they claimed the book within, the black book: The Sallow Regent.

"Let's go." the taller one said, "We'll study the book back at Raven rock."
