INVADED
It was a bright sunny day when I woke up, I could hear the birds singing. I can still remember ten years ago, I think to myself, caressing the circle shaped scar which was caused by Alduin when I got to close and he stabbed me with his pointed tail. I left my house and went into Windhelm.
"Morning, General Blood-Bringer." several Stormcloaks say as I pass by.
I climbed up into the battlements to see the sun stretch across the land. The view is beautiful from up here you can see the sun rise in the east and set in the west. This was the anniversary of Skyrim's civil war, we won, thankfully, but at a great cost I saw too many of my people I called brother die all those years ago, including Ralof, but their in Sovngarde now. We all gather in front of the Palace of kings to pay respect to our fallen brothers. Ulfric gives a speech in their memory." Sons and Daughters of Skyrim, today we celebrate our freedom from the Imperials of Cyrodiil but we also celebrate the lives of the fallen who helped aid our cause for a free Skyrim. They were our friends and family and they are sorely missed but find solace that they are in Sovngarde drinking a mead that can only be found in such places. Ten years to the day they have been gone but stayed in our hearts. and I call for a celebratory feast in their memory to their lost lives and to our prosperous ones in the palace of kings. Welcome one and all!" He exclaims over a loud cheer from the crowds.
A few hours later I again climb the battlements to see if anyone is approaching the city and I see legions of people armed with swords and great-swords and axes and battleaxes and warhammers! i half jump half climb down the stairs to alert Ulfric.
"High king Ulfric, there are legions marching on the city!" I exclaim exhausted
"What!" he shouts ,shocked. "Alert the barracks and evacuate the city," He says to a soldier ",Take up arms General, we are going to war!"
"At once" I say turning to leave the palace and run to my house.
Once i'm in my house i open my cupboard and take my Stormcloak general sword and armour and pray to talos that we can repel the attackers. I sprint back to Ulfric to find him in his royal armour.
"General, take charge of the first battalion, I'll take the second and Galmar takes the third." He explains.
just as he is finished speaking the door opens and a Windhelm soldier exclaims.
"The Aldmeri Dominion are the attackers!"
"How do you know?" I ask.
"They breached the city, we can't repel them."He says,despairing.
"I've battled dragons. I'll be fucked if any Elf kills me!" I shout defiantly.
I run out and he was right they have breached the city and are progressing on the palace. I run to meet them and cut at least 6 heads from their shoulders. Then, I'm grabbed from behind and very nearly knocked out until I remember the words of power I was taught by the Greybeards
" ZUN HAL VIIK!" I shout and rip his weapon from his grasp just as he is about to slit my throat and then slip from his grasp and slit his neck.
I hear another shout ,it's Ulfric, I instantly run to help. In a matter of minutes I reach Ulfric. Just as I approach an archer hits Ulfric in the forearm. He grunts as he retracts it from his arm. Someone knocks him out and I run to his aid.I run to a wall and spring off it,making my foot connect with his jawbone.I hear it crack , making it clear that it had been broken. I try to awaken Ulfric to no avail. I decide that I would need to defend the
Palace as best as possible. Legions upon legions are volleyed at the city. I close the big doors and bring tables and I even managed to shift Ulfric's throne to the doors. I drag Ulfric into his Mage's room and manage to hide him behind a few storage barrels.
"Listen, Ulfric. I doubt you can hear me but if any of your mind is conscious then get out of here dress as a peasant if you need to but keep a low profile. It was a pleasure fighting with you." I say, saluting him for what looked like for the last time.
I walk back into the main hall. I hear Elvish voices shouting to get the doors open. I pray to Talos. I ready myself for death. I ready my voice. They manage to crack open the doors. They now knew that I had blocked it and would probably try to burn away the wooden majority of the barrier. They manage to set alight the tables and they burn away quicker than I would have liked. Elvish magic, I say to myself. They barge open the doors and flood in.
"YOL TOOR SHUL!" I shout and set most of them alight.
It didn't stop them. I manage to kill a few but they managed to bring me to the floor. What could only be assumed as a general approached me.
"A Dragonborn! This is the best day in my life!" He exclaims, before he kicks me and blackout...
