Skyrim 4.1 Dragon Rising

          Wow what a rush. This part of the game was an amazing adventure mainly because I became a hero out of it! The dragon was spotted at the Western Watchtower and the town was immediately notified. As I gathered my team of mercenaries and headed towards the site, I felt a great sense of euphoria just to see the dragon. The tower was heavily damaged with flames sprouting out from the fallen debris. All of a sudden the dragon swooped in and everyone immediately started firing. Although the point of the game is to slay the dragon, I did not want to. We don't know what this creature desires and if it even wants to attack us or is just playing self defense.
           Considering I didn't really have a choice whether to slay the dragon or not, I followed the protocol and killed the dragon. It was awful. His spirit was ripped from him in front of my eyes and entered my characters body. I was so confused. It's like I had the power of whether a dragon could live or die and I didn't know how I felt about that. Later to find out, I really did gain a power. I was Dragonborn which means that I was born with dragon blood. I was praised for my dirty deed and given the title of "The Thane of Whiterun". I was told to work with a group called the Greybreads who were a group specializing in the training of Shout Powers.
           With the defeat of the dragon, I noticed my reputation rise rapidly. I was seen as a hero. People interpret the definition of a hero differently. Personally, I wouldn't call myself a hero. The experience was incredible but I wish the outcome could have been different. Maybe I could have trained the dragon to get along with humans and then we could ride of into the sunset together, a very happy ending. The main genre I noticed throughout this quest was subtitles. Not only subtitles but also in another language. The dragon was speaking in another language as well. I have so many questions and can only answer them by further entering Skyrim.
