Chapter 1: Indroduction
A/N: This is my first fanfic and this chapter is just a short (and that's being generous) indroduction. The following chapter will be much longer. Please Review - GRiiTTLE JUNiiOR
"Ugh..." Again, I awoke to the feeling of the hard stone floors of the Imperial City jail cells. I got up, took in where I was, and thought... How did I get here? What did I do?
I had never been in this particular cell, but I had been in this hallway when I was in here a couple of months ago. How did I know it was the same hallway? That asshole. That one asshole that was always rambling on about how so and so was going to die in here and how he was going to get out.
"The guards are coming for you!" He was right. I heard some footsteps and a man talking.
"My sons, they're dead, aren't they?" asked the man.
"We don't know that sire, the messenger only said they were attacked," said a female. I could see them now. There were three guards; one female, two male. And an old man dressed in robes too fine to be in a prison with.
"No they are dead, I know it," the man replied.
"What is this prisoner doing here? This cell is supposed to be off limits," said the woman as she approached my cell.
"I don't know. Usual mix-up with the watch, I...I..." The guard said, struggling for words.
"It's not important. Stand back prisoner. We won't hesitate to kill you if you get in our way," said the woman.
I stepped back by the window, if you could call it that. Suddenly, the old man stepped closer to me. "You. I know you. Let me see your face," said the old man, as he stared at me for a moment. "You are the one from my dreams." He muttered some other stuff I couldn't make out.
"Who are you?" I finally asked.
"I am you Emperor, Uriel Spetim."
Holy shit! So many questions... "What's going on?"
"Assassins attacked my sons and I am next..." The man kept explaining, but I was having trouble paying attention with all the thoughts racing though my head. Uriel Septim? Assassins? What the hell?
As if all of that wasn't enough, the cell's eastern wall slid back, and then to the left, revealing a secret passage.
"It's your lucky day prisoner," said one of the guards.
I followed the guards through the passage. "I don't like this...I'll go ahead," said a guard. A sudden yell of "Protect the Emperor!" got my attention. The guards rushed ahead to fight the newly discovered enemy. I hid of course, being unarmed and all.
When the sounds of metal hitting metal ceased, I came out of hiding. One of the guards was dead. That was their job, though, their life for the Emporer's. But, after I went over to pick up the fallen guard's weapon was when I realized that these were not mere guards, they were Blades.
As we approached a wooden door, the Emperor turned to me and said, "This we where we must part. But, I know our paths will cross again soon."
"Don't try to follow us," said a Blade, then shut the door behind him. What the fuck am I gonna do now?
