The group sprinted for their lives as few fell from the torrent of the dragon’s onslaught. Varlgon noticed that Alduin and his brethren were catching and that it would be pretty much impossible to scamper away towards Whiterun before they would be burnt to a crisp, as Fraus had heroically found out. So forth the Redguard stopped and turned towards the oncoming Dovah, to face what would be his curtain death, but he would not go down as a coward, he would stand and fight. Varlgon drew his mighty blade as he watched some of the Dovah circle above him, some of the others flew onwards to hunt the remaining prey. Varlgon thrusted his weapon into the air and screamed as loud as his lungs could take it. The Redguard then shouted towards the dragons. “Face me foul beasts!”

Alduin who happened to be amongst the circling dovah’s heard the mortals call and dropped to the ground with a great thud, dirt and ash smothered Varlgon as he stumbled back away from the dragon’s mass, he quickly regained his balance as he readied his Claymore and gritted his ash ridden teeth. “Zu'u luft hi!” (I face you!) the dragon spat, as his Dovah kin still circled above, acting as a looming taunt towards the Redguard who stood below in front of their master.

Alduin released a quick blast of flame and force upon the Redguard, who was aware as he swiftly rolled to the side before unleashing a quick thrust from his blade into the dragon’s chest, however this was a mere scratch for Alduin as he aggressively swung his head into the Redguard, knocking him down onto the ground with a cloud of ash setting up from his impact. Fuelled by rage and adrenaline Varlgon hastily pulled himself up and charged towards the dragon side on, he skidded down onto his knees, dodging the bottom of the dragon’s loping head who attempted another attack, and shot underneath the dragon’s belly slicing it with the tip of the Glass Great sword, before then shooting out from under the dragon to meet a clean swoop of its hefty tail in counter to Varlgon’s quick move. This propelled the Redguard away from the battle and into a layer of dead plants and dried dirt, to which his Claymore left his grip and landed a few feet away from his palm. Varlgon then found that a flurry of flame was blasting straight at him, so he quickly jumped to his feet and made a swift dodge to his side as he sprinted away from the torrent of flames cast by Alduin as the lord tried to char his foe who had laid down in the foliage, but as Varlgon dodged he realised his weapon was cast away, therefore he saw no other option other than to clamber upon the dragons back, swinging himself up, this caused a raw of anger and disgust as Alduin then swiftly lifted himself up of the ground and took off into the skies as he attempted to lose the Redguard, who started to repeatedly smash his fists into the back of the dragons head. Alduin called out to his brothers to cast shouts upon him as he twisted and turned in the air in an attempt to lose the clingy Redguard who kept his broad arms loped over the dragons back. However, his grip soon started to loosen as he realised how high the dragon was taking him, if he was to fall it would most certainly mean death, so with a quick thought of survival, the Redguard pulled of his boot and dug its tip in-between the solid scales upon the dragon’s back but this wouldn’t be enough as a flash of flame and frost hit the Redguard weakening him to the extent where he lost his balance and fell from the helm of Alduin. Falling Varlgon watched as he gracefully passed down further through the air and away from the evil lord above, he closed his eyes as he awaited the deadly impact, casting his thoughts back to the days of old, the days of his childhood, the days when dragons weren’t a threat. He remembered when he had first walked into the bannered mare, to ask for companions who could aid him in an adventure to discover the Dragonborns fate, who had ‘thudded’ down into the snow atop of the throat of the world under Alduins snout. But before he could think anymore the Redguard then thudded down onto the rock ground as his body broke upon impact, an instant death… and a broken back…
