Alyssa entered the room with the others  "That's better. Now we can talk." he said after closing the door.

"So, Delphine keeps up the fight, after all these years. I thought she'd have realized it's hopeless by now. I tried to tell her, years ago... " Esbern said, he looked at Alyssa's puzzled expression before he continued "Haven't you figured it out yet? What more needs to happen before you all wake up and see what's going on? Alduin has returned, just like the prophecy said! The Dragon from the dawn of time, who devours the souls of the dead! No one can escape his hunger, here or in the afterlife! Alduin will devour all things and the world will end. Nothing can stop him! I tried to tell them. They wouldn't listen. Fools. It's all come true...all I could do was watch our doom approach... " Esbern said

"You're talking about the literal end of the world?" Alyssa asked, astonished by the confirmation of the End.

Esbern sat down behind his desk "Oh, yes. It's all been foretold. The end has begun. Alduin has returned. Only a Dragonborn can stop him. But no Dragonborn has been known for centuries. It seems that the gods have grown tired of us. They've left us to our fate, as the plaything of Alduin the World-Eater."

Alyssa looked at him and crossed her arms before saying "It's not hopeless, Esbern. I'm Dragonborn."

"What? You're...can it really be true? Dragonborn? Then...there is hope! The gods have not abandoned us! We must...we must... We must go, quickly now. Take me to Delphine. We have much to discuss." he says as he gets up and gathers a lot of books "But, give me...just a moment... I must gather a few things... I'll need this... No, no, useless trash...where'd I put my annotated Anuad? One moment, I know, time is of the essence, but mustn't leave secrets behind for the Thalmor...there's one more thing I must bring... Well, I guess that's good enough...let's be off..." He says and heads for the door.

"That might be an interesting experience to see." Balimund said as he improved the cutting edge, an epic axe fit for a hero of the old tales. (Balimunds skill in-game is 75.)

"Good, This is an important job. I have a competitor called Honningbrew Meadery that I want to put out of business. I also want to know how they got the place up and running so quickly. Head to the Bannered Mare in Whiterun and ask for Mallus Maccius. He'll fill you in on all the details." Maven said
