Chapter 1
I awoke with a quite dizzy sensation. As I stood up from the cold, hard floor that left my body feeling very stiff. I looked around seeing chains hanging from the roof, with a small window barley letting in any sunshine, or traces of the outside world. As I turned around I saw a table and a chair. On the table there was a cup and a pitcher. I walked over and picked up the pitcher thinking there was something inside to quench my thirst. Just my luck it was empty. As I was thinking to my self about how I arrived in prison as I did nothing wrong some guy in the cell across mine yelled.
"Hey You!"
I looked over as he just kept talking about how I was going to die in here, and what a pathetic person I was. Just as he finished speaking I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Maybe that Dark Elf wasn't kidding after all. I started fixing my hair and trying to look my best, though just a second later I realized what's the point they all think I'm a worthless prisoner anyway. Once the clinking of armor died down I stood in the presence of 3 guards and the king of cyrodiil . The emperor was quite old looking and had expensive silk robes on that touched the ground he walked on, he had on a humongous ruby red amulet that sparkled beautifully when the sun shone upon it.
"What's this Prisoner doing here?" The female guard asked.
"I'm sorry sire, one of my new men must have put him in here by mistake" The second guard said "Stand back, over by the window we wont hesitate to kill you if you get in our way"
I started backing up as quickly and casually as I possible could without making a fool of myself in front of the emperor. Noticing me he stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes sparkled with a hint of recognition.
"I've seen you, let me see your face"
I started backing up but ended up crashing against the cold hard stone wall behind me, in the process I ended up falling flat on my face. As I rose to my feet the three guards behind the king were all snickering with their faces red and looking as they were about to cry.
The emperor continued "You're the one from my dreams"
Puzzled and slightly scared about this freaky dilemma I stuttered "W-w-what are you talking about?"
"You'll find out in due time young one, in due time"
He gently patted my head as someone would do to a child. I stood there for what seemed like hours but was just seconds in the real world. The female guard took a few steps and faced the emperor, he turned to look at her and with great sympathy asked,
"Is it time to go?"
"Sire we must get you to safety"
He turned to me with great sadness in his eyes and said "Soon my time will come and I will leave this world and enter a hole new world different from ours. After my time this world will end in bloodshed and only one person could save it from the gates of oblivion, you."
The emperor turned around and gave a slight nod to the third guard and stepped aside. The guard walked up to a wall and pushed one of the stone bricks that held the wall in place. Surprisingly it sank into the wall and a great deal of rumbling happened, I closed my eyes and sank to the floor thinking there was going to be an earthquake. When the noise stopped I looked up and saw the three guards and the emperor descending into a new formed passage that now took over in the place of the wall. I stood puzzled for awhile trying to put the puzzle pieces together when I noticed they were far ahead of me. I took to my heels, while still thinking of the events that just happened before my eyes. I looked back one last time and saw the secret passage descending deeper and deeper into the world behind me, until it was swallowed up in the darkness.
