Chapter 147:
"Hey Schweinorg." Rin leisurely had her hands behind her head as we walked down a cobblestone road. "How exactly does the Thu'um work? I read some books on it at the College, but they never really explained anything."
"Tolfdir originally told me something like – A dragon speaks and the world listens." I replied.
"Tolfdir, that old mage at the College?"
"Yeah, did you meet him? I haven't seen him in a while, not since he was hurt." I really do need to make time and check up on everyone.
"Yup, he was nice, helped me and Saber get settled." Rin smiled.
"Indeed, Tolfdir was very kind to us and was very open with any questions we had." Artoria nodded at Rin's words. "Even with how busy everyone has been, he was always willing to help."
"That sounds exactly like him." I ran a hand through my hair, looking up at the sky. "To further answer your question, the Thu'um bends the world according to the 'words' spoken. In fact, you can equate them to Caster's High Speed Divine Words if that helps."
I glanced over to Thorum and Serana who were walking right next to us. They seemed to be listening, but otherwise didn't engage. I wasn't particularly hesitant to talk about vague things like this without giving any details away.
"So, it's not like magic where you force your own will upon the world, but the shout forces the world to perform certain actions." Rin muttered. "Honestly, sounds a lot like a Marble Phantasm."
"Eh, it's a bit different." I took a moment to think my words through. "A Marble Phantasm can only force 'natural' phenomena to occur regardless of the likelihood. The Thu'um 'bends' the world as I said, forcing outcomes that otherwise could not be possible. For instance, Alduin is apparently turning back time and reviving dragons, something that is not a natural occurrence in the greater world."
"I get it, just kind of hard to wrap my mind around." Rin sighed. "How hard is it to learn?"
"I'm cheating and even still having trouble." I said honestly. "Thorum over there is basically fluent." I jabbed my thumb over to my friend.
"My friend, Jealousy is not a good look on you." He gave a cheeky smile, earning a snicker from Rin.
I just face palmed. "Shouldn't have told that story." Basically, throwing my cheeky words I said to Rin right back at me.
Rin broke out in a laughing fit. "Thorum, you're the best." She threw him a thumbs up.
"Artoria, I'm being bullied." I complained.
"There, there." She pat my shoulder. "Rin, please spare him, he is very sensitive."
"I can feel my fragile ego just shattering every time someone opens their mouth." I deadpanned. "Going back on topic, I found the best way to learn the Thu'um was through experiencing it. Don't know if that would work for you due to my....unique circumstances, but if you wanted to give it a try...." I trailed off."
"You know what? Hit me with something, lets see what happens." Rin opened her arms up.
"Rin, that is not a wise idea." Thorum stepped in. "Most shouts I've learned, and thus helped Wilhelm to learn, are dangerous to use on others."
"I got an idea." I interjected, walking to the side and finding a good size stick. "Here hold this like a weapon." I handed it to Rin who seemed confused.
"Oh, that is a good idea." Thorum praised.
"Alright, Rin, you ready?"
"Hit me, Schweinorg." She held the stick up like a sword.
I took a deep breath. "Zun Haal Viik" I shouted. The stick in her hard was dislodged, landing on the ground.
"Okay, that was creepy." Rin clenched her hand a few times. "Like....I was holding it then some force decided I wasn't."
"Yup. The world declared that you were no longer holding it so reality bent to make it happen." I explained.
"That's so broken....I want it."
"Well, it's possible to learn, who knows, you might have talent in it." I shrugged.
"Will, I am glad to see you progressing with your Thu'um, but you used it incorrectly." Thorum spoke up.
"Did I? It worked, didn't it?" I questioned him.
"Haha, you'll have no arguments from me." Thorum laughed.
"What're your plans, Serana?" I asked the vampire. I was curious what she had decided to do after having time to think about it without a perceived threat hanging over her head.
"Thorum offered to show me around." She glanced at him. "I.....am in no rush, for the first time in a very long time, I don't feel I have to do anything, so I'll catch up on the time I missed, see what's changed."
"Well, a little advice if you are going to be staying long." I guess I would keep an open mind here. "I would introduce yourself to the Jarl, don't' try to hide that you're a vampire, that's just going to end badly for everyone. He might even be appreciative if you share some knowledge about dragons or other things from your experience."
She gave me a contemplative look. "I will take your words under consideration."
I shrugged. "Thorum." I clasped his shoulders. "As always, It's great hanging out with you."
Thorum looked at me for a moment then wrapped me up in a big hug. "My friend, our time spent is never boring, I wait until you call on me again."
That big goofy smile of his, it was hard to not smile along with it.
"I can see why Schweinorg likes you so much." Rin seemed to genuinely like him which was good. "I'll be up at the College most of the time if you need anything, and I'll see about coming here to visit sometimes."
"I look forward to it. If I have any questions regarding magic, I know who to ask."
And he knew the right buttons to push, if accidentally, to get people to like him even more. Rin showing even more pride like that, to be considered someone to seek 'help' from.
"I may see you out as well, Thorum. These shouts are something that have caught my interest." Artoria spoke up. "I have similar.....advantages that Wilhelm has, I wonder if I can have some sort of success in it."
"I would be honored to share what I know, Artoria." Thorum smiled brightly.
We said our goodbyes as Thorum and Serana walked through the gate, greeted by the enthusiastic guards. Us three began walking away, getting a good distance before I opened a portal and deposited us into the house.

"Thank god." Rin collapsed onto the couch. "I was going to die if I had to walk any more, and that's even with this amulet."
"Can I hear your thoughts on Serana?" I asked, setting the Elder Scroll down from my back onto the table.
"Worried about your friend?" Rin chuckled.
"Yeah, I can't help it." I scratched my cheek.
"Eh, she came off as kind of fake, but she could have just been nervous." Rin shrugged. "Thorum was crushing haaard though."
"Indeed, I had thought he might follow in your footsteps with Meridia." Artoria joked.
"I would kill to see that." Rin threw her head back onto the couch. "Ugh, I need a warm shower. Probably going to bed after, I'll see you both in the morning." Rin slugged herself up the stairs and disappeared.
"Well then." I just shook my head, I couldn't exactly blame her, I felt similar. "You tired as well?"
"I would not mind resting." Artoria gave a small smile. "....even more so if you were to join me."
"Oh my, Artoria Pendragon, are you trying to tempt me into your bed?!"
Her face became a little red, she turned around, starting to walk up the stairs until she briefly stopped hand on her dress as she started balling it up. Inch by inch, her dress moved up as much of her under clothing was dematerialized, her metal grieves only further emphasizing her beautiful legs, until she finally pulled the hem up over her rear, revealing a cute pair of pink panties stretched around her round cheeks.
"J-jinn advised me on matters.....do you wish to accompany to bed?" Was this her attempt at seducing me? Did she want some more lewd time?
I have to admit, her being in her combat attire was definitely doing it for me, even if it wasn't already. I had wanted to get a start on my Lightning Form....but I suddenly felt like I could put that off until tomorrow.
"Tempting a devil like that, you sure are bold." I quickly chased after, following her into the bedroom.
