"You're it, you're it!" my youngest sister, Marina, yelled to me. We were running around and laughing. We were laughing and playing all day long. The pair of us are rolling down hills and picking flowers, continuously smiling and laughing. I look up and notice my four other sisters staring at us. They're at the age where they don't have time for games. My mother is looking at us through the house laughing along with us.

I suddenly awaken from a bump we have just hit on the road. Where am I? I guess the smiling and laughing was all a dream. Someone notices I am awake and he begins speaking to me. I barely hear what he says. The land around me is so beautiful. I notice my hands are bound and I wonder why. I notice two other people on the wagon. There are four of us all together. I think they've made some kind of mistake, I shouldn't be here. I am eighteen years old, I am not a thief, nor am I a murderer like two others on the wagon. How did I get here? i don't speak the entire ride, I wonder what is going on. The Nord next to me is speaking to me, but I am barely listening. I notice we are approaching a village. Good, maybe they'll sort this all out and explain to me what is going on, this has to be a mistake. The wagon comes to a halt.

I hear a woman barking out orders as we are unloaded from the wagon. Then I notice an execution block to my left. What the hell is going on? I see the thief make a run for it and he is immediately taken down by archers. A soldier asks for my name, when I tell him my name is Estella, he looks at the list and notices it is not on there. The woman doesn't seem to care and sends me to the block anyway.

My head is spinning. This cannot be happening; I've never done anything wrong in my entire life. How could these people think I have done anything? I'm just a tiny Dunmer. I would never hurt a fly. I imagine myself back at home now. That's all I can do. Does my family know where I am? I didn't even get to say goodbye and now I'm going to die. I feel a lump in my throat. No, I can't cry, I can't show them that I am weak. I take a few deep breaths and stand with the other prisoners.

The first person is called to the block. They shout a few things, but I don't hear them, I just stand silently and await my turn. I am called next. Here we go; I take a deep breath and step forward. As I do I hear something in the distance, everyone is told to ignore it. I get down on my knees and place my head on the block. I hear it again, but this time I see something emerge from the clouds as well. A dragon! Then things go fuzzy.

I blink and stand up. It's unbelievable, but I have to run. I run as fast as I can to get cover. I notice Ralof in the building. I immediately run to him. I trust him, he explained things to me while we were on the ride here. I run up the stairs and the dragon bursts through the side of the building. I am told to jump into the next building. I don't argue, I do what I am told immediately. I take a giant leap and crash to the ground hard. I run outside and see the Imperial soldiers firing arrows at the dragon and run to try and find cover. I see the soldier who asked for my name and run for it. He tells me to stay close to the wall and the dragon lands right above us. When it is clear I run again, the soldier tells me to follow him, but I don't trust him. After all, he is part of the organization that wants to have me killed. I see Ralof and immediately follow him. The Imperial soldier allows us to escape. I guess I am forever in his debt. Ralof and I make a run into the nearest building. We're safe for now.
