Sonja has the fate of the Empire in her hands, but will the growing love of the heir himself get in the way?

It has been a long time since I have written a story so there may be a few flaws now and then. But I am really excited about it. This is my take on Oblivion. Sonja Valus is the character that I have played as since I first started playing the game and now I'm going to share her with you. I hope you enjoy it. And I'll be more than happy to listen to advice to make the story better. This will be Part 1 of 3 stories based on Oblivion. Today, I will be posting the prologue and the first chapter. Forgive me if the prologue is short.

Now, without further ado, enjoy the story :)

Prologue

I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years, I ruled as Tamriel's Emperor. But for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in Darkness, a Doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed; the year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the 3rd Era…and the final hours of my life. But…there is still hope yet. A Hero will rise. She, along with my youngest son, will close shut the marble jaws…of Oblivion

I know the prologue was short but the next chapter will be longer. The first part of the chapter will cover Sonja's backstory which then leads to the events that occure after her being sent to prison. Until then...:)
