The legend of the Dragonborn.
It is quite famous throughout Skyrim, and even across the entire continent of Tamriel.
Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time, is an extremely powerful deity. He has always been dedicated to fighting the Daedric Princes and protecting the safety of Tamriel.
Those recognized by Him and granted Dragon Blood are the Dragonborn.
The first emperor of the Empire, Saint Alessia, was recognized by Him, thereby gaining the power of the Dragonborn and establishing the Empire that protected the continent.
And from then on, almost all emperors of the Empire were Dragonborn, until over two hundred years ago, when the Empire's power gradually weakened, its ruling class became corrupt, and the last Dragonborn emperor was assassinated, breaking this tradition and leaving the Dragonborn bloodline lost.
However, the legend that Alduin, the World-Eater Dragon, would reappear, and that only a true Dragonborn could save the world, has always circulated.
Some dismiss it as mere rumor, but many more remain firm believers, convinced that one day the Dragonborn will return.
And the returning Dragonborn will be the fated hero to save the world.
As a pure-blooded Nord, Freya had obviously grown up hearing the Dragonborn legend. She believed in this legend and hoped to see the Dragonborn return one day.
However, the young girl never imagined that the legendary Dragonborn would turn out to be herself.
She was clearly just an ordinary Nord girl, an ordinary mercenary, a normal girl who was just thinking of going home to visit her parents.
How did she become the fated hero meant to save the world?
Seeing the Dragonborn girl stiffen, her mind plunged into chaos, Guilliman walked to her side, embraced Freya with his broadest hug, and said in a gentle voice:
"It's nothing to worry about, Freya."
"So-called fate cannot become your shackles. You can still live the life you envision, without being bound by these so-called prophecies."
"When you encounter difficulties, come find me. I will definitely help you."
The Witcher, who had watched countless romance films, knew that tenderness at such a moment was a huge plus.
Besides, he genuinely liked Freya; her personality gave him a real feeling of equal companionship, like being in love.
And the Dragonborn bloodline would also allow Freya to accompany him for a long time on his path of growth.
Indeed, after receiving comfort from the Witcher, the Dragonborn girl's mood stabilized considerably.
She wasn't an indecisive girl; it was just that the revelation of being Dragonborn was too impactful, making it difficult for her to accept.
Seeing that the two were no longer in private conversation, Guard Captain Irileth stepped forward and said in a very polite tone:
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Guilliman, Ms. Freya."
"Jarl Balgruuf must be awaiting our battle report."
"May I invite you to come with me to meet the Jarl?"
"Having slain a dragon, you two will surely receive the Jarl's reward."
The Dragonborn girl exhaled, then looked at the Witcher.
She felt that slaying the dragon was almost entirely Guilliman's merit, and she was a little embarrassed to have absorbed the Dragon Soul, let alone receive other rewards.
Guilliman nodded at Freya, then with a sweep of his hand, he collected all the dragon bones, scales, and other miscellaneous materials from the grass into his storage space.
These were top-tier forging materials in the world of Skyrim; if forged into armor and weapons, they could practically outperform equipment from the Witcher's world.
Dragonscale armor, Dragonbone armor, and various high-grade weapons—just thinking about it added another goal to his list in the world of Skyrim.
Once the spoils were collected, he and the Dragonborn girl returned to Dragonsreach to meet Jarl Balgruuf.
After hearing Guard Captain Irileth's report, the Jarl of Whiterun looked at Freya with a somewhat complex gaze.
He pondered for a few seconds, then sighed and said:
"It seems the legends are true, Ms. Freya."
"You are indeed the Dragonborn."
"This means that Alduin, the legendary dragon said to devour the world, must also have been resurrected."
"You two are fated enemies, destined for an epic battle."
"And our province of Skyrim will, because of this, face immense chaos and war."
Balgruuf finished these words with a tone of emotion, then his tone shifted, and he said with a voice full of honor and encouragement:
"Thank you, Mr. Guilliman, Ms. Freya."
"You helped Whiterun defeat the dragon and saved its residents. Your courage and honor are worthy of being remembered by all."
"Therefore, in the name of the Jarl of Whiterun, I hereby bestow upon you both the title of Thane of Whiterun."
"There will also be a generous gold reward, which my steward, Proventus, will deliver to you."
