Prologue
Blackness surrounded her like a warm blanket. All the pain she had felt before seemed to melt away. Slowly opening her eyes she saw only darkness. Trying to remember she suddenly sat up and fell forward just floating in the darkness. She remembered she had been driving home, the roads were wet and slick, the cars headlights shown into her window and she could hear the horn still ringing in her ears. She had been in a car crash. She remembered the sirens going off and people trying to talk to her. Now she looked around the darkness. I must be dead she though with despair.
At that moment she saw a flicker of light in the darkness. An outline in the light seemed to be walking towards her as she floated. "I see you're awake now." A soothing voice stated calmly. She could tell it was a male voice by the deep rumble of a laugh that fallowed the statement. "Who are you?" She asked as she floated in front of him. He held his hand out and as soon as she took it, it was as if gravity returned to her body and she could stand facing the stranger. He seemed to be made out of a thick shadow in a human form. However he or more seemingly, it, was wearing a robe that seemed to keep the form in place. It was terrifying. "I am just a messenger." He said. "Then what's your message?" She felt her heart quicken. "Am I dead?" She whispered unable to keep the fear from her voice.
"Ah a wonderful question." He purred at her smiling. "No, you're not dead. However, if you want to return to your world you need to play a game. You see the Creators are curious to see what would happen if a person such as yourself can be completely displaced from your world and survive. Now there is a catch." He said as he began talking with his hands. He voice sounded gleeful and full of excitement. "what's the catch?" she asked wearily. "You'll remember everything from your world while you play this game, and select people will know the truth and be able to help you. But you must figure it out on your own" He clapped his hands together as if he made perfect since when, in fact he wasn't. "Wait where am I going? What about my family back home?"
"It will seem like your world moves in slow motion. Time wont stand still so you will be on a semi time crunch." Then he looked thoughtful "Unless of course, you find you like the world in which you're going to play the game. Then Your worlds time will continue and it will seem as if you've died. Oh of course there's another 'catch' you see You'll need to fill a small vile with specific peoples blood and the timing must be right. I will of course be dropping in to help you here and there." He spoke too freely. Too happily. Like he wasn't turning her entire world is upside-down. She simply shook, wither it was in rage or fear, she wasn't sure. "Where am I going?" She asked through clenched teeth. Smiling he said happily, " Why my dear, to Skyrim of course."
