Actually, I always found it a bit interesting that "The Dragonborn" just showed up out of nowhere - the bloodline alledgedly ended with the last septim. So... this here could actually explain... never mind.

Do Dragon-y Stuff
How about we test some advanced flight maneuvers? Get a better sense of our body - oh, and yeah. Being shouty and all that might also fall into this category.

[Xantalos]

Be practicing Shouts and stuff. Try shouting the word for 'magic', then 'Daedra' 'Call'.

That's... not really quite how it works.

I see no way this could possibly go wrong!

[Xantalos]

Well if you want we could try saying 'absorb' 'aspect' 'Anu'.

Why not just skip to saying "I propose that we are all part of a dream, and are thus essentially the same ficticious existence, but I'm real anyway because fuck you that's why."

'Eat' 'concept' 'everything'

And then we ate ourself?

[Eotyrannus]

You perch on the fountain again, and think. You try a few sentences, attempting to achieve ultimate power in one easy step. This fails, of course. However, you do discover two interesting things.

Firstly, the word Naak, 'eat', is a Word of Power.

Secondly, you figure out how to double your shout number with the same number of words.

While idly seeing if you can summon Sheogorath by shouting, "LUH DEYRA FOR!", you find a certain... texture in Luh, 'magic'. You mull it over, tasting the word for why it's that way... It feels like the words for Fire and Wind.

And it clicks.

You begin meditating on Yol. You already know Fire breath, of its destructive potential and raw power, but now you meditate upon its chaotic nature, its ability to get through both mind and material. This is an incredibly easy shout for you, as it (along with Dismay) resonates with your nature completely, but it is still much harder than firing off a shout you already know. And then, you test it.

"YOL!"

The Word blasts past your jaws, but this time, it is a multicoloured burst of magic. You get your breath back, and convince one of the novice mages to be a test dummy. You shout again, and the magic wraps around the joore as it passes, building areas of focus where other spells can seep deeply within.

WORD OF POWER LEARNED: Arcane Helix! YOL, ??, ??. Fire, ??, ??.
WORD OF POWER UNLOCKED: YOL, Fire. Crack magical defences and let your spells bring terror.

This is good progress. You estimate that you can, if you pick a shout that suits your nature, learn one more shout before the mage gets back.

(I'm going to introduce some of the bigger game mechanics around now, since the 'prologue' bit is about to end. Someone post so I can tell you when the front page is updated. )

[Xantalos]

Interesting! Can we try it with 'wind'?

[Eotyrannus]

You search for the meaning of Ven, 'wind', but quickly come to a halt as two potential meanings become clear. One is of roaring chaos and domination, and the other is of mastery of the mind and repetition of that which is already known...

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

repetition of that which is already known...

So could we create a time loop by combining it with Tiid?

[Eotyrannus]

Nope.
Or can you?

Each shout that we can learn has three words. However, the first word of one shout can be combined with the second and third words of a very specific other shout. There's also completely new shouts, such as 'Eat' that you just discovered, and they can be recombined as well...

[escaped lurker]

!Naak'luh!

Devouring Magicka has never been easier. Well, maybe.

But yeah, seeing if we can combine eating with magicka could get good indeed. Else, I think mastery of the mind is something we very much could need, so if the above fails, mull that one over more.

Yolokol.
Fire Sky Sand.
It's raining glass, hallelujah!
