The Elder Scrolls: The Battle for Gryphus
Chapter 9

"GAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" I scream and my mind is flooded with pain as my right hand is ripped off, I can't control my descent and land heavily on my left side {60%}, my helmet falls off as I stop rolling.

"FARENGAR!" Celestia shouts with worry in her voice.

I look up to see Celestia fire a beam of magic at the dragon but only manages to push him back, I'm lifted off the ground as the two souls of the dragons killed by Paarthurnax and Sahloknir flow into me.

After a few seconds The dragon gets back up and attempts to kill Celestia, I watch with horror as Celestia is trapped within the dragon's maw but it looks like her daedric armour is holding out, but I can hear it groan in protest to the pressure being placed on it.

Looks like it's one of those last resort moments. "Mul Qah Diiv!" {80%} {100%} {100%} {100%} I shout and instantly my right wrist flares with a burning pain, I watch as bone starts forming with muscle over lapping it, but what shocks me is instead of skin, light grey scales start to form over it with each finger ending with a razor sharp looking nail.

My head starts thumping as something doesn't feel right, I start breathing heavily like a savage beast. 'Kill them,' a voice says in my head as my teeth start to grow longer and sharper. 'Kill them all!'

My vision turns a deep red colour and is much sharper as I glare at the dragon. "RRRAAAAGGHH!" I roar out and lunge at the dragon's face, he was too busy trying to kill Celestia that he noticed too late as I latch onto the left side of his face.

I thrust my right hand right through his eye straight down to my elbow, he roars in pain and drops Celestia. He then grips me with his left claw and pulls me away, he roars again as I rip out his eye along the way.

He throws me across the courtyard but I flare my wings and recover, the eye drops to the floor with a wet squish. 'LeAvE nOnE aLiVe!' the voice says in a more distorted tone. With a cruel smile, I flap my wings and slam straight into his chest, my clawed fingers digging into his softer scales. Without missing a breath I cast a Sparks spell sending electricity straight through the wound {50%}.

The large amount of lightning makes the dragon numb and he collapses, I let go and recover my sword. 'FiNiSh HiM!' "RRRAAAAAGH!" I leap into the air and slam my sword with great force and decapitate the Dragon, I absorb his soul with a grin and look around, Paarthurnax and Sahloknir are forced to flee as a few large ballista mounted on the flat building tops are firing at them.

Sahloknir grunts from one of the bolts impaling his left leg but manages to take cover behind the castle.

I turn my attention to the ballista and my grin widens. 'BuRn ThEm!' I fly with great speed towards them and swing at the first ballista, cutting its base causing it to tumble off the roof, I then turn to the four griffins that were manning it. "Yol Toor Shul!" {50%} I shout in a sadistic tone.

Flames engulf the entire rooftop setting them on fire, they scream as they are quickly turned to smoking husks. 'MoRe! KiLl EvErY lAsT oNe Of ThEm! My eyes widen as my grin only gets larger.

I fly to the next one and grab the griffon that's firing the ballista by the throat, his eyes widen and his pupils shrink as he sees my expression of bloodlust. Without any warning, I slash his waist and his lower half falls to the floor and his entrails splayed all over the roof.

Before he even had time to die I was upon the next one, a diamond dog who was holding a large bolt in his arms, he yelps and drops the bolt as he tries to run from me, I thrust my clawed hand into the dog's back and with a roar, I rip out part of his spine, he falls to the floor twitching.

I slowly turn to the next one, a minotaur who has a warhammer, but he drops it once I look at him still holding the dog's spine. He pisses himself and then jumps off the roof, I tilt my head to the last one, a unicorn that just fainted, I walk over to him and lift him up by his mane.

Without a second thought, I bite into his throat and rip it out, I spit the flesh out and lick my lips. 'YeS! mOrE! kIlL!' I fly off and destroyed the last two ballista and slaughtered their operators.

{100%} {90%}

With them cleared, I fly down to the battle proper and went on a killing spree, carving the enemy into pieces and ripping them apart.

The surviving enemy decided to fall back and left the city, but I'm having none of that and chased the last few that lagged behind. Once I finish killing the last one, I turn around and see Celestia limping over to me with a concerned expression, but stops cold once she sees the blood around my mouth and the sadistic grin on my face, my eyes are wide open and my pupils mere slits.

'KiLl HeR! tEaR hEr ApArT!' I start to advance on her, causing her to start backing up, I open my mouth and let out a heavy breath, her pupils contract as my teeth are put on display.

"F-Farengar? W-What are y-you doing?" she asks me with worry in her tone, but I don't reply. After a few horrifying seconds... I charge at her.

"FARENGAR STOP!" Luna shouts out to me as she stumbles out of the castle, I stop a mere inch from raking Celestia's face off.

My pupils shrink and my grin is gone as my emotions start conflicting. 'KiLl HeR! FeAsT oN hEr FlEsH!' the voice says with malice.

I fall to my knees, drop my sword, and grip my head. "RRRAAAGGHH!" I roar out in rage as the voice continues to try and convince me to kill everyone.

I look up and see Luna with tears in her eyes, the sight alone gives me a moment of clarity, and before my thoughts are clouded again, I cast a Sparks spell on myself. {75%} {50%} "AAAAAAAAHHH!" I scream from the pain, but it was enough to make me go numb and pass out.
