Chapter 1: Dragon Attack!
Horse Carriage. Dovahkiin PoV
Shaking myself from my unconsciousness, I looked around groggily at my surrrondings, for some reason I was on a horse carriage. Then I noticed that my stuff was taken; I was tied up with rope and had nasty bruises on my arms. I turned to see three other people on the carriage, but one of them, dressed unusually like royal was gagged. My attention was taken by a blonde Nord trying to talk to me." Hey, so you finally awakened friend " He spoke. But as flashes of memories from my capture played in my mind, i grew furious, but kept that in check. " Well besides getting hit across the head by a Orcish War Axe… I feel pretty good so far "I said sarcastically with a serious glance, which he noted silently. " You were trying to cross the border from Cyrodiil right? You walked right into the Imperial ambush just like us, and that thief over there." He continued to say as he looked at the carriage rider. " Yeah I thought with the lack of guards it would be my lucky day. Looks like I was wrong."I mumbled to myself, but the blonde kept speaking. " The ambushed was made by the Empire of Cyrodiil, my opinion they are puppets of the Thalmor... " But his sentance was cut of by the Imperial coach driver shouting at us" Quiet back there! "" What's up with him… err sorry " I failed at saying his name, since I doesn't even know it, "No worries friend my name is Ralof. Yours friend? " The blonde known as Ralof asked. " Well, unfortunately I was born without a name." I looked away, embarrassed. "The only name I was given when I was young was Dovahkiin. I was raised by Dragons here in Skyrim" I said as I looked up to the cloudy skies of Skyrim, embarrassment clearly ridden on my face. " BY THE NINE, DRAGONS! "Ralof cried but the Nord in rags scoffed at my words.
"Ha! Dragons don't exist anymore Nord! I shouldn't be here. I should be halfway to Hammerfell by now if it wasn't for you Stormcloak Rebellion. The Empire was nice and lazy" He spoke rudely, " Would you shut up you horse thief! " Ralof snarled, "And what's with this guy huh? " "Watch your mouth! You're talking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King! "Ralof shouted with anger. But this person piqued my intrest " Ulfric… Stormcloak? I'm sorry Ralof I never heard of him before." I turned to look at him, but i saw the anger and something else in his eyes, a glare of a dovah, but I payed no mind to it, "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance then Ulfric, despite this current situation "I said with a bow of my head till the thief then panicked." Oh gods where are they taking us!? "" I don't know… But Sovngarde awaits "Ralof spoke sadly, I then noticed we entered a town, Ralof however knew that town we entered. " This is Helgen, is used to be sweet on a girl from here." Then he saw someone to make his blood boil, "Damn it! General Tullius and the damn Thalmor too. Damn elves they won't leave us alone, they must have played a part in that ambush "Ralof cursed aloud which Ulfric grunted in agreement. "Hey Dovahkiin, explain to me about your past. You said you were raised by Dragons right? "Ralof asked, as I sighed heavily I began my tale.
"Yes, when I was young, this dragon called Paarthurnax raised me, he was watching over me ever since I was born. But then 3 days later, I was placed on a tree stump by my father, aiming an arrow at me as he was intending to kill. My mother pleaded and tried her hardest to force him to stop, but her last defense to save me from him was to stand in front of me and take the arrow to her breast. Unfortunately, she instantly died. Paarthurnax was watching over me and saw this, he commented her bravery to protect me." That saddened me but i continued, "Then with my mother out of the way my dad tried again only to fail when Paarthurnax swooped down and shielded me from death, he turned murderously to him and roasted him alive with the Fire Breath shout. After killing my father, the dragon wondered what to do with me, he pondered his thoughts with Odahviing when he flew after the old dragon... although I can't remember what was said Paarthurnax then picked me up and flew me to the Monahven, or The Throat of the World. But as I was at the age where i couldn't remember, Paarthurnax explained my past to me from when I was 7. When I was 10 it was time to leave for an orphanage in Cyrodiil. Paarthurnax saw my interest in his Word Wall atop his mountain when I was 8 years old. He taught me one Word of Power for Unrelenting Force, a gift for my 8th birthday, it was Fus (Force). Then with sorrow, I said my goodbyes to Odahviing, and with that, Paarthurnax took me to Cyrodiil. When we arrived close-by to the Orphanage he spoke in one last whisper, whilst giving me a letter for the Orphanage people 'Good luck for now. Till we meet again Dovahkiin' and with that, he flew away without another word. I never saw him again since. I miss him terribly "
I was reminded of the memory of Paarthurnax leaving me at the orphanage's doorstep, but as I looked at where we stopped within Helgen, Ralof said something I nearly didn't hear,"Dovahkiin means Dragonborn in the Nordic legend. It says that only you can kill… ""The evil dragon Alduin? Yes that is correct, Alduin is Paarthurnax's brother and the first born of Akatosh. Paarthurnax said that when I turn to the age of 16 Alduin will return from the power of the Kel, the Elder Scrolls, as he was sent forward onto time. So far I never even found him yet at Cyrodiil, but I knew he would attack Skyrim first so that's why I had to cross the border from Cyrodiil and I never knew about the war between the Stormcloaks and the Imperials. " I sighed heavily till the thief spoke again, "Dragons are nothing but a legend since the great dragon war many years ago! ""Well your wrong thief, the dragons have gone into hiding from the wretched Blades. The previous guardians of the Emperor of Cyrodiil "I spat at the horse thief as he whispers a prayer to the nine divines to help him "Face your death with courage thief. " Ralof turns to me next. "Let's go. Can't keep the gods waiting for us eh?" We jumped of the wagon as an Imperial Sentry calls out "Step forth to you name ""Damn Empire and their lists" Ralof cursed aloud.
"Ulfric Stormcloak. Jarl of Windhelm ""It has been an honor fighting with you Jarl Ulfric " Ralof said as Ulfric walks silently to the headman's block
"Ralof of Riverwood " The sentry spoke as Ralof walks towards Ulfric at the headsmen block,
"Lokir of Rorikstead ""NO! I am not a rebel! You can't do this!"
The thief, otherwise known as Lokir broke into a run, fleeing like a coward towards the gates "HALT!" The Imperial Captain shouted but Lokir ignored her, "You'll never kill me!" Lokir taunted which brought anger to the captain as she gave some orders, "ARCHERS" The Imperial Archers took aim and killed Lokir with a single arrow, "Does anyone else feels like running!? "The Captain spat, but the sentry took interest in me. "You there Nord, step forth " I did as told but I saw the confusion in his eyes. "Who are you?" He said to me, I was shocked to say the least, but then again no-one has heard of the Dragonborn yet, so I answered. "My name is Dovahkiin, the Dragonborn without a name." I said with the pride of a dovah, but the captain wasn't heeding my words. "No not your title prisoner. We want your name."" I was born without a name mey! I was told I was Dovahkiin and that is my name. The dragons of old won't lie about that. "I spat at the Imperial captain with a glare of truth "Anyway captain what should we do, his name is not on the list… should we take him to General Tullius?""No sentry he goes to the block. I know what you're playing with rebel ""I AM NOT A REBEL! I AM THE DOVAHKIIN. RESPECT THE FUTURE SLAYER OF ALDUIN!" I roared fiercely with my Thu'um, giving her a taste of my Unrelenting Force shout.
"FUS!" The Imperial Captain cringed as my shout pelted her, I smirked and spoke "See? I am the Dovahkiin. I showed you the power of the Voice, which I learned without any effort. Alduin has risen from the Elder Scrolls and only I, the Dovahkiin can defeat him and the Dragon Army he will raise too." I stated with truth but the sentry was looking nervous, but the captain had steam coming out of her ears as she issued an order "Gag him!" Two large Imperial guards advanced towards me, I dived to my left and shouted again at one of the guard but I forgot about the second guard creeping up behind me, I was then pinned to the ground by his weight. I saw heard General Tullius walk up to Ulfric and spoke scornfully at him. "Ulfric Stormcloak, some here in Helgen call you a hero, but a hero doesn't use a power like the Voice to murder his king and usurp his throne!" But then a loud roar echoed across the sky, shaking the far off trees."What was that? ""It was nothing; carry on captain." General Tullius literally ignored the roar, the captain saluting to him. "Yes General Tullius" But I glared at her with fury, her instincts couldn't be more wrong, whereas mine are nearly screaming at me "No joorre it wasn't nothing. That was a roar of a Dragon." I said with another glare of truth but then again the Imperials ignored
"Priest of Arkay. Give them their last rights" The Imperial Captain said to the priest, she stood forth and spoke her prayer "As we cast your spirits away by the eight divines … "" Oh for the love of Talos, get this over with woman!" A Stormcloak soldier yelled as he walked to the block and kneeled onto it, the headsman walked towards the kneeling soldier with his raised ax "Can you see my ancestors smiling down at me Imperials! Can you say the same!?" The soldier continued but then he got his head chopped off, the feeling of sickness rushed through my body. The sight of the head chopped cleanly of the man's shoulders made me nearly spew my lunch on the floor, the soldiers of the Stormcloak army cried in frustration of their lost ally. "You Imperial bastards!""Justice!" A passerby shouted "Death to the Stormcloaks!" Another passerby shouted. "Just as fearless in death as he was in life. May your soul travel safely to the halls of Sovngarde friend" Ralof whispered to me with sorrow, but another roar was heard and the feeling of dread soon washed over me, my instincts burning my insides, telling me that something deadly was fast approaching, but then I knew what it was, it's roar registered with my head. "There it was again" The sentry spoke, but I have had enough of thier ignorance, so I voiced my defiance when the captain finished speaking. "I said next prisoner!""No I will not! That roar belongs to the World Eater Alduin! The Harbinger of the End Times! He flies this way! Free me now joor! Your troops won't be able to defeat him!" I pleaded to the captain and General Tullius, but they still ignored me, adding to my fury. "Take him now to the block" The Captain commanded as the guards forced me to the block, but I unleashed my anger.
"OPEN YOUR EARS JOORRE MEYYES! AL-DU-IN APPROACHES! HE WILL DESTROY THE TOWN AND EVERYONE HERE! FREE ME NOW!" I roared with my Thu'um, Ralof heard the panic in my voice and voiced his concern. "I would heed this warning Imperials. This sounds true to me." Ralof said but they must be known for their ignorance, as they forced my head onto the block. I continue to struggle against their hold but the headsman rose the ax. "This will be your death Imperials!" I shouted at them but the skies darkened and a large shadow loomed over us, Alduin the World Eater soon appeared from the clouds "WHAT IN OBLIVION IS THAT!" General Tullius shouted out in alarm to everyone "DRAGON!" The Imperial Captain screamed as Alduin castes his gaze at me as i struggled against the scared guards grip. "Dovahkiin! Prepare for your death!" Alduin's deep voice shouted at me as he roared deeply, casting a Meteor Shower all over Helgen. Flaming rocks which as the shout describes it as stars rain down upon us. Alduin then shouted Unrelenting Force at me. Forcing me off the headsman block and out of the guards' grip as Alduin took off into the skies. As I was gathering my bearings i heard Ralof calling to me at my side "Come on! The gods aren't willing to give another chance! To the tower! Quickly!" I picked myself up off the ground with Ralof's help and we ran with to the tower with Ulfric behind us. "I cannot believe that this is the legend. The Harbinger of the End Times, its true" Ralof whispers aloud to Ulfric, whom shook his head slowly "Legends don't burn down villages. However we need to leave now!""Dovahkiin we've found your stuff"Ralof said as I snapped the rope that binds my hands on a sharp piece of wood and ran to the chest they dragged out from a locked room and took back my stuff which consist of:
A full Ebony Armour set, two Ebony Swords, two Dwarven Swords, 10,000 gold, my legendary Daedric Bow, 500 Ebony arrows, Amulet of Talos, 5 gold and diamond rings of 2 enchantments each and my spell books and other traveling essentials. "Thanks Ralof." I said then I turned to the stairs. "Up the stairs Ralof. Follow me, be careful too, Alduin could be crafty. "I said as I climbed up the ruined stairs, but moved back in surprise as Alduin smashed his giant head through the wall and burning whoever was inside. The force made Ralof falls backwards to the lower levels in pain, he managed to call to me to move on. "Dovahkiin we'll catch up. Jump to the inn. Hurry!" I nodded to his words and jumped from the tower to the inn and from the inn to ground level till I saw the confused sentry trying to help a father and son get away from the flames of Alduin's Fire Breath shout and Meteor Shower shout. "Glad that your still alive Dovahkiin. My name's Hadvar. I'm sorry for the captains harsh choice words" Hadvar said to me as he moves a child away from his father, at his request but Alduin landed behind the child's injured father. I swiftly moved the boy's father away from the torrent of fire of Alduin's Fire Breath Thu'um
" YOL TOOR SHUL! " Alduin's Thu'um was ear-splitting as he charred the ground where the boy's father and I was, Alduin then sneered at my actions. "Such courage made by the Dovahkiin. Aan mey faal hin." Alduin cackled darkly as he took off again to the skies "You all right jul" I asked the man but he didn't reply, I found out that he died peacefully in my arms. Hadvar moved the dead man's son to the local blacksmith as I spoke to him. "Hadvar we need to get out of here! Follow me quickly" I said to the Imperial Sentry as he followed behind me as Alduin landed on the wall above me" Careful Hadvar "I whispered as Alduin shouted his Thu'um. "YOL TOOR SHUL!" Alduin roared with his Thu'um, burning all in his path to a crisp. "Come on, now quickly." I said as we ran into General Tullius and his defense against Alduin. "Told you so joor, now your people pay the price." I said darkly to the general as I ran to cover and changed to my Ebony Armour set without it's helmet. I ran back to Hadvar and General Tullius with my bow drawn. My enchantment on my bow is a Fire and Lightning. I knocked an arrow and fired it at Alduin's wing but missed as it struck his tail. Alduin shook away the damages of the enchantments and spoke to me. "Mey joor Dovahkiin I do not take damage from petty enchantments" Alduin cackled in a loud growl as he landed in front of me" As the World Eater I shall devour this world Dovahkiin. Die now and await your fate in Sovngarde" Alduin spoke menacingly as he flew off to the skies again, I just then saw Ralof run towards Helgen Keep so I parted with Hadvar. "We'll meet in Sovngarde Hadvar, farewell." I said to the Imperial as I ran straight to Ralof and escaped inside Helgen Keep but Alduin burned his way and started to attack the keep, with death and revenge.
