aside from the obvious "you invaded my tomb so die" i can't think of why we can't be friends

he beat Mirakk originally, so wouldn't he want to help us do it again

on the other hand, i can't imagine that he has a ton of faith in Dragonborns as a whole, so maybe he wants to kill us and stop miraak from returning at all

am i over-thinking this? Well Valok was very loyal to the dragons, that is why he fought Miraak. As dragonborn (like Miraak and the dragonborn of the 4th era) were created to fight dragons, and the dragonborn of the 4th era did just that. He killed Alduin the first and most powerful dragon. Valok, being a very powerful being, must of sensed this and attacked the dragonborn in revenge.
