Alduin, the World-Eater, is judged by Akatosh and stripped of his divine inevitability, cast into mortality to experience time as a finite being.

Time did not often pause. It stretched, it turned, it devoured and renewed in cycles older than memory, but here, for one impossible moment, it stilled.

Something shifted within him. Power, ancient and immeasurable, began to unravel, not torn away, but returned.

Alduin snarled then, the sound breaking unevenly as it left him. “No.”

It was not denial.

It was refusal.

Time did not argue.

It closed.

And the World-Eater fell.

High above Skyrim, the sky over the Throat of the World split without thunder. No storm, no lightning, just a clean, unnatural fracture.

Paarthurnax lifted his head before the sound reached him. Old instincts stirred, sharp and immediate.

Something was coming.

The tear widened, and something fell through it.

At first, it was familiar, wings, scales, the vast, terrible shape of something inevitab
