I don't own the game, Skyrim; neither do I own the Characters of Skyrim.
This Chapter is about Skyrim, the game. It is not the story, but it is an introduction. After the introduction, the story will follow.

Prologue…
I wake up on horse carriage with 3 other men. Our hands were tied together and it was clear to me that for some reason I was a prisoner. With me, on the carriage, were two Stormcloak's and a thief. Shortly after I woke up we arrived at Helgen. It was the Imperials who captured us. I found out that the stormcloak's were a rebellion group fighting against the Empire and their Imperial soldiers.
The captain, who was in charge, told us to get out of the carriage and the captain called our names while marking our names of a list. They asked me to step forward and I must tell them who I was. My name is Felicia Hawke and I am a female Argonian. The soldier did not saw my name on the list. He said," Captain she is not on the list." The Captain replied," Put her to the block." After the captain spoke, I walked to the place where the others were standing.
The first prisoner went to the block to await his fate.' RRROOOAAARRR' Suddenly there was that sound, one of the imperials asks, "Did you hear that?" General Tullius replied, "Forget about it." Shortly after the pause the prisoner went to the block and the Headsman chopped of the head of the prisoner. 'RRROOOAAARRR' Suddenly there was that sound again. The Imperial guard is getting paranoid.
The Captain said that I am next. I walked over to the block and also I await my fate. As I lay there I saw a monster in the sky. The headsman lifted his weapon in the air but before he could strike down, he was knocked down by the force when the dragon landed. After the dragon landed on a structure 100 m away and all hell broke loose.
The dragon started his attack on the village and I tried to get as soon as possible out of that place. I followed Ralof to a nearby tower. Inside the tower we found the Jarl and another stormcloak soldier. Ulfrig said that we must move immediately and that it was not safe. We went up the stairs and suddenly the dragon, known as Alduin, made a hole in the wall of the tower. He sends a blast of fire through the hole and it barely misses me. Ralof said to me that I must jump through the hole and onto the roof of the inn below the tower. He also said that he will catch up as soon as he can.
As I jumped through the tower, I landed on the roof of the inn and walked to the end. As I came to the end of the roof, I jumped through a gap in the roof and onto the ground. Ahead of me I saw Imperials and I walked over to them. The soldier said that if I want to stay alive I must follow him. The dragon was also there and we scramble to find cover. As soon as the dragon was gone we continue on our path to the keep. We paused again because the dragon was directly on top of us. We waited patiently for the dragon to move again before we can move. Minutes later the dragon moved and so did we. Shortly after that we came to the keep where Ralof catches up with us. I decided to continue with Ralof.
