DISCLAIMER!
I don't own anything other than the story's plot, and the characters named, the world itself isn't mine.
The little girl toddled over, a big grin on her face. "Nana!" The old woman let out a soft laugh at her grandchild's enthusiasm. "Hello, love." "Up! Up!" The little girl cried and the old woman lifted the child into her arms.
The babe touched the woman's weathered features and smiled happily. "Will you tell me a tale, nana?"
"Of course, my love. Which one did you want?" The little girl's face scrunched up as she thought, her dark eyes puzzled. "The one about the dragon princess!"
The woman chuckled, "Of course, little queen."
"Long ago, for you, of course, there was a King and his Queen.
The King was only young, and the Queen even more so. Only three-and-ten she was, and it was the hope of her family that she gained the attentions of Ysmir.
For you see, little queen, the King's family were dragon kin. We know them as Dragonborn, and they rule the south and north nowadays as Emperors."
The old woman shifted the toddler's weight in her arms before continuing.
"Then, one day, the Solitude castle mage told the Queen that she was with child, and the Imperials rejoiced.
"And months later, a little girl was born. The babe had the looks of the north in her, more Nord than Imperial, and the Nords all adored her. She was taught to be quiet and a Lady, and she did so. And then, when the little lass was a few weeks off of her fourth name day, her parents announced that they were going to have another child." The old woman touched her grandchild's dark hair affectionately; it was the same colour hers was in her youth.
"This is that babe's story."
So, the whole fic is set, say about sixty years from the main storyline of ElderScrolls: Skyrim.
