Third fic, second TES one, and no updates on the others! Jeez... you should see the other two fics..
Anyway, message me if you think I should get off my lazy arse and actually write something.
BTW, If I've used names of other people in Skyrim, I can't help. They've all got the same name! Orgnolf, Ragnar, Olaf and Ragnar...and Olaf!
~Ahdanji~
"Deep in the ocean, dead and cast away..."
Ahdanji had the bastard skewered on the end of his own sword. She enjoyed watching him slowly fade from his body, and to Oblivion. She felt as if she was floating in a sleepy happiness. She shook herself, and kicked him off the sword.
"That was for Kaasii." she purred, then cut his throat. Kaasii was her sister, who had been violated and killed by this Imperial swine. Nobody thought it was him, to them he was a hero. Only Ahdanji knew.
-xXx-
Ahdanji ran through the forest as fast as her paws would carry her.
"Damn Cyrodils" she muttered. An arrow stuck into the tree beside her. They had followed her from Corinthe, to Skingrad, Mournhold, Suran, Solstheim, and now to a forest in Skyrim.
She ran faster, dodging trees flying at her.
"What's the matter, Kitty?"
She faltered and hit a tree as her concentration lapsed from the remark. She heard sniggering and the crunch of snow as the walked up to her. They turned her over and bound her. They allowed her to stand.
"End of line, kitty-cat! Ahahaha!" he wasn't expecting her to start biting him. She leapt at him and tore at his shoulder. His comrades restrained her and the last thing she saw was a fist.
-xXx-
~Ulfgard~
"-and for the love of Arkay, get drunk again and when you return I'll-"
"Yes, Mother." he spat, slamming the door.
He made his way to the entrance of Riverwood and found his uncle waiting for him on the cart.
"Freyda?"
"Yep." said Ulfgard, climbing on the cart. They made their way to Helgen, the Imperial-owned village. his uncle was a merchant, and he used his money to buy badly-needed metal for Riverwood.
As they rode into Helgen, it became clear that something was wrong.
"Go back inside, son..."
"But father, I want to see the cat, and the elf!"
"No you don't, go back inside!"
Ulfgard glanced at his uncle.
"Fine. Meet me at the gate in an hour."
"Thank you, uncle"
He jumped off the cart and found the source of the excitment. A public execution. There were two Nord men, a witless High Elf wearing fine robes, and a thin Khajiit woman. She was shivering badly, and then she sneezed. She wasn't used to the climate. One of the Nord men unthreatingally edged towards the guard. He whispered something to him. The guard seemed to agree and walked over to a cart. He rummaged through a pack snd brought out some robes.
The guard walked up behind the Khajiit and draped the robes over her. She shrugged it off and hissed.
"That is insult! You send Ahdanji to die and give her warm clothes! What does it matter when she will be with Ahnurr and Fadomai soon!" the guard was taken aback. "Do not pity this Khajiit, Imperial.."
This cat was strong, even for a Nord, he thought. Well, mentally, anyway.
-xXx-
~Ahdanji~
The captain brought out a list.
"Anaril, of Cloudrest, convicted of Vampirism!" this got a lot of booing and shouting from the crowd. The Altmer nearly wet himself. This elf was no vampire, couldn't they see he had no fangs or red eyes?
"..Sentanced to burn!" the crowd cheered. The captain grabbed the frightened elf and dragged him to a large pile of firewood.
"No! No, I'm not a vampire! Wait!" he screamed as they tied him to a log.
"Where innocence is burned... in flames."
The captain cast a simple fire spell on the wood. As the fire began to rage, the Altmer's screams became more desperate, begging for help from the crowd, who jeered at him. Ahdanji looked away, wincing as the fire engulfed him, and he screamed more, coughing and choking. After a horrific minute, the torture was over.
The two Nords were called out, for aiding some kind of rebellion, and were promptly beheaded. She had begun trying to cut through her binds with her sharp claws.
"Ahdanji of Corinthe!" The crowd started to boo and jeer loudly, as if she was a Dremora caught and bound, not a Khajiit.
-xXx-
~Ulfgard~
Who was she? Not even the "vampire" had gotten this level of jeering.
"Hang it!" "Make a rug! Ahahaha!"
She hissed in return, quieting a few, but others were louder, and started throwing fruit.
"Order! Or you'll join her!" yelled an Imperial guard, brandishing his sword. The crowd fell silent.
"Right then..." continued the captain. "Convicted of the murder of the Imperial noble Ticedo Vicicici, the murder of the Dunmer Ralan Hlaalu, the assault of a farm-" Ulfgard saw the khajiit smile. "-Damage to property in the worth of 7000 septims, and the impersonation of a retired ship captain" she began to chuckle.
"Shut it." warned a guard.
"...sentanced to hang by the neck until dead." The crowd whooped and cheered. The cold-hearted killer turned her sad gaze to him, as she noticed he wasn't jeering at her. It seemed as if she gave a weak smile, then her head drooped. They lead her to a small gallows, and she had to stand on a bucket for her neck to reach the noose. She allowed the executioner to put it around her neck, ignoring the crowd. As the executioner walked towards the lever, her head rose.
She was smiling. It wasn't a happy smile, more the kind of smile a crazed assassin would have before he plunged a dagger into his victim's chest. Her bounds were cut, and she threw the noose from her neck a second before the lever was pulled. She bowed, then disappeared.
The crowd ran in terror, the killer was free! Ulfgard ran - not in terror, but to find his uncle.
He found his uncle at a market stall, finishing a transaction.
"Uncle! We must leave!" said Ulfgard frantically.
"Don't be ridiculous boy." he replied, turning back to the vendor.
"Uncle! A murderer just escaped from the execution!" he tried.
"Yeah, some Khajiit bitch, murdered a noble! She dissappeared in front of everyone!" a passer-by pitched in.
"Fine, let's go, Ulfgard."
AN: Phew! That was fun. Corinthe is a settlement in Elsweyr. Ahdanjii's total bounty comes to 9065, if impersonation counts as pickpocketing. XD
