This is set in the Skyrim Elder Scrolls Universe, if you don't know what that is, run, run fast and far before I murder you. I was debating on who the main character/dragonborn would be, and I finally picked Tori, cuz she's awesome like that. I might add the other gang members I don't know yet, if u want me too then PM me or leave it in a review. Enjoy ;)
Chapter 1
Tori's POV
I slowly wake up, adjusting to the light around me. When I came, I found that my hands were tied in front of me and that I'm sitting in an open carriage surrounded by 3 other guys, one with a cloth around his mouth. The Blonde that was opposite me on my left noticed I woke up and said:
"Hey you, your finally awake. You were trying to cross the border right? Same as us and that thief over there?" I look next to him to see a guy with brown hair and a huge scar running down the left side of his face.
"Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and be half way to Hammerfell by now. You there. You and I-we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants" he tells me. When there was a short pause, I take the chance to take in my surroundings. We're traveling down a stone road in the woods with a soldier on a horse trailing behind us and in front of this horse carriage is another one with 4 other prisoners in the back, 3 guys and one girl. I look at the blonde guy again when he starts talking.
"We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief" he says while looking at the horse thief after thinking of what to say to hi.
The coachman turned his head slightly and yelled at us to shut up. The brunette guy looks at the man next to me and asks:
"Whats wrong with him, huh?"
"Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true high king"
"Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion, But if they captured you… oh Gods, Where are they taking us?" the thief said in utter fear
The blonde looks ahead of us and looks at me then at the thief "I don't know where we're going, but Sovangarde awaits" both of us gulp and look at each other before looking around the forest. I don't know why, but I always find peace when I'm near or in the woods, it's like my safe haven.
"No this can't be happening. This isn't happening"
"Hey, what village are you from horse thief?" the guy opposite me asks him.
"Why do you care?"
"A Nords last thoughts should be of home"
He hesitated at first but told us "Rorikstead. I-I'm from Rorikstead"
I look ahead of us and see that we're coming up to a little village and make our way to the centre of the town. A guard that was leading the group yells "General Tullius sir, the heads man is waiting!" I see what appears to be the general talking to some high elves over to the right. "Good let's get this over with" the General replies back.
The horse thief starts naming the Gods and goddesses in hope that they could help him out. "Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me."
The Horses stop at the wall and we slowly get up, and hop off the carriage. "No wait, we're not rebels" the thief pleaded but the guards ignored him.
"Face your death with some courage, thief" the blonde behind me tells him.
"Step towards the block when we call your name. one at a time" The captain orders us
The guy behind me whispers to me "Empire loves their damn lists"
A guard next to the captain held a list and started calling names "Ulfric Stormcloak, Jarl of Windhelm" Ulfric slowly walks over to the circle and watched on "It has been an honor Jarl Ulfric" the Stormcloak next to me says.
"Ralof of Riverwood" the blonde guy known as Ralof walked up next to Ulfric.
"Lokir of Rorikstead" the thief walks forwards and yells:
"No, I'm not a rebel. You can't do this!" when he's close to the captain he runs off "You're not going to catch me!"
The captain shouts 'Halt! Archers!' the archers quickly take aim and get him right in the back, killing him instantly. I grimace and shake my head in sadness. The captain faces me and says "anyone else feel like running?" The guard next to her looks at me "wait. You there. Step forward" I quickly walk up to him.
"Who are You?"
"I'm Victoria Vega"
"Are you related to David Vega by any chance?"
"I don't know, I never knew my parents"
"Captain what should we do? she's not on the list?"
She crosses her arms over her chest "forget the list, she goes to the block" I gulp for the second time today truly terrified.
"By your orders captain" he looks back at me with a pitiful look on his face "I'm sorry. We'll make sure your remains go back to anyone who cares for you" yea like that will happen, I've lived by myself for years, no one looking after me or anything like that. It's all I've known. It's always going to be like that, I'll never find that special someone.
"Follow the captain Victoria" I do as he says and walk up next to Ralof. Tullius blabbers on about how Ulfric murdered the high king. But I wasn't listening, I was focused on a mysterious figure near the woods, from what I could tell it was black as night and had bright blue eyes. But as soon as a Stormcloak passed in front of me the figure disappeared into thin air.
Next was my turn after some guy wanted to get it over with but before I walked over there was a roar that echoed through the sky. Ignoring it, the captain called me up again. I take a shaky breath and walk over to the block and stand in front of it. I see that mysterious figure again but on the east side this time (the side I'm facing right now) the captain forces me to kneel and go face first on the block. When the headsman lifted the axe another roar echoed through the town but it was much closer this time. Coming from the mountains was a dragon.
"Archers what do you see?" the captain shouts
"it's in the sky" a Stormcloak says
"DRAGON!" one of the archers yells. The dragon landed on the watch tower and it was dark grey. It shouts something and a powerful force escapes its mouth and kills the headsman and knocking all the wind out of me. I get up and my eye sight is blurry, I see Ralof stand in front of me and help me stand up straight and see that he has his bindings off.
"Hey c'mon, the Gods won't give us another chance" I run with him to another tower where Ulfric was waiting for us.
and I know I have my other stories but I couldn't get this outta my head, I hope you enjoy it. I'm going to leave it there, I got tired of writing for this chapter, plz review and tell me what you think. :D
