They started on their way to High Hrothgar when Inigo grabbed Clover's hand. She turned around to look at his concerned face.

"My Friend, let us go kill the dragon before we take the horn to the Greybeards," He said furrowing his brow.

"We're closer to the Greybeards Inigo, wouldn't it be more practical to travel to them first?" Clover stated more than she asked.

"I know, My Friend, but if this Alduin fellow is raising dragons then wouldn't it be better to get there before or while he's raising it than after when it could destroy the town with no defense?" He asked, taking her other hand.

"I guess you're right, Inigo," Clover mused seeing Lydia snickering by the inn's door. "Let's go kill a dragon."

"I have your back, My Friend," He said, still holding her hands.

"And I have yours," Clover replied, grabbing Lydia and running to catch Delphine.

They ran towards Windhelm and took a right across a river to reach Kynesgrove faster. As they ran into the town a woman approached them.

"You don't want to go up there! A dragon, it's attacking!" She screamed over the roaring of the wind mixed with the language of the dovah.

"Son of a biscuit!" Clover yelled, pushing past and running up the hill, arriving at the burial site. As she neared the top of the hill she could see Alduin's black hue and shape through the harsh winds. As she skidded to a halt at the top of the hill Clover watched as the earth cracked open and a dragon skeleton climbed out. Alduin and the newly risen dragon exchanged some words in dovahzul before Clover snapped out of her trance. Clover pulled out her dwarven war ax and Blades sword (that she totally didn't take from Delphine's basement) and shouted at the dragon.

"Fus Roh Dah!" Clover shouted as the dragon started to finish reassembling.

"Have at you! You Stinky Overgrown Lizard!" Inigo hollers.

It staggered as Clover charged at it, hacking and slashing as she heard the arrows of both Delphine and Inigo fly through the air and sink into the dragon's flesh.

The dragon roared in pain as she slashed at his neck. He reared up and dove back down to try to bite her but Clover jumped out of the way. Clover backed up a little way as the dragon started to focus on Delphine and Inigo. The dragon shouted and breathed fire as they dodged just in time. Lydia was trying to do damage to the dragon's hind side but ended up getting swatted away by its tail.

"Lydia!" Clover screamed as Lydia flew backward into a rock.

"Fus Roh Dah!" Clover shouted at the dragon drawing its attention away from Delphine and Inigo who ran to Lydia's aid.

"Dovahkiin," The dragon growled as he inhaled, ready to spit fire at Clover.

When he shouted Clover danced out of the way of the fire. Clover bobbed and weaved as the dragon followed my movements with his breath of flames. Clover kept his attention until Delphine and Inigo were able to get Lydia to safety. The dragon stopped breathing fire and sat there for a few seconds catching his breath. Clover took her chance and ran at the beast. Clover grabbed onto one of his horns pulling herself up onto its head, Clover took her Blades sword and repeatedly stabbed the dragon in the head. When it started to slump to the ground she jumped off and rolled onto her feet sheathing her sword again. Clover wiped the blood off of her hands and face as she looked for Inigo.

"My Friend!" Inigo called out to Clover as he ran in her direction.

"Inigo!" Clover yelled as she ran to meet him. "Are you okay?"

"I am fine, My Friend, but Lydia will need some attention," He confirmed her fears.

Clover gasped. This was partly her fault. She should have warned her.
