Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except for Brunwuld The Atronach and Vicente Nakrom.
This Tale Begins with the attempted execution of Ulfric Stormcloak, the leader of the Stormcloak rebellion.
"Imperials love their damned lists" ranted Ralof, the prisoner standing to my left.
"Well, lists do keep them organized" replied Vicente, the prisoner on my right. The Imperial in heavy armour shouted,
"Next, Ralof of Riverwood" Ralof grumbled under his breath and walked forward.
"Who are you" the Imperial in light armour questioned.
"Emperor Uriel Septim the Seventh" replied Vicente lightly, "And brought back from the dead".
"I won't ask again, who are you!" screamed the Imperial captain being enraged. Exasperated Vicente replied "Not allowing a man to have one last joke? The Empire really has fallen hasn't it? My name is Vicente Nakrom, born on the 21st of Morning Star, under the sign of the mage".
"And you" the captain inquired.
"Brunwuld the Atronach, born on the 16th of Hearth Fire under the sign of the Atronach".
"Captain, they are not on the list."
"To the block with them anyway" decided the captain.
"I am sorry I will make sure you're remains are returned to your family" said Hadvar gravely.
"First, the red haired one" ordered the captain, the fiery haired Stormcloak walked up to the stone and put his head on it.
"Headsman" General Tullius commanded,
"on this day, I go to Sovengarde" the Stormcloak whispered. With a great clang the civil war took yet another victim.
"Next the Breton", within a second she already called yet another poor soul to their death. Vicente went to the stone, placed his head on the stone and waited. The headsman raised his axe, and was knocked over when a dragon landed on a tower.
"Come on follow me into the tower" Ralof yells over the noise. Both Brunwuld and Vicente follow him into the tower and up the stairs, they both jump up and out the window into the burnt house.
"Wow talk about a fire place" jokes Vicente.
"Shut up we need to get out" reminds Brunwuld. They both quickly run down the stairs and out the door. They then see Hadvar and he tells them to follow him.
"Quickly against the wall!" he yells as the dragon breathes fire down the narrow alley. The group of three quickly run by Tullius and by the keep.
"Ralof, you damned traitor!" rages Hadvar
"we are escaping Hadvar you're not stopping us this time" replies Ralof.
"Fine I hope that dragon takes you all to Sovengarde" decides Hadvar "come on with me into the keep".Once they were in the keep Hadvar said "There should be a sword or two in one of these chests" so Brunwuld and Vicente went and looked around for some armour and swords. Once they both had swords they swung them around a few times to get a feel for them, grabbed the key and opened the door. Once they opened the door they were confronted with another door to open. Once they opened that one they saw two Stormcloaks, "see them, Stormcloaks maybe we can reason with them". Hadvar was cut short when one of the Stormcloaks shouted
"Skyrim belongs to the Nords" and attacked him. The Stormcloak swung her axe high Hadvar managed to block the attack with his shield but before he could react she swung her dagger at his stomach. He managed to avoid the majority of the damage but was still gravely injured. Out of no were a blade was stuck through the Stormcloaks chest she then fell down and died, Vicente then exclaimed
"yes that's one down". Looking over to Brunwuld who was fighting the other Stormcloak who was a male , he quickly cast a basic flame spell at him, while he was distracted by being on fire Brunwuld Stabbed him with his sword and exclaimed
"thank Talos". "Well, we may as well go through the door" remarked Vicente.
"Finally a decent weapon an axe" said Brunwuld, obviously very happy with his war axe that he had pried from cold dead hands.
"Well, let's not get distracted or we might die" reminded Vicente. They were now headed down the stairs to the store room as they needed some potions to heal Hadvar. Suddenly out of the blue Hadvar collapsed and sadly said
"I cannot make it any further, I am sorry but you shall have to make it out of the keep be yourselves, I have but one last request please tell my uncle Alvor in Riverwood I died doing my duty "he then died from the blood loss. They quickly shut his eyes and lied him down on the ground. They then continued toward the store room. Just before they entered though the entire roof of a hall fell down like a human with an arrow in the heart. As they entered the store room they saw two Stormcloaks searching for potions. Brunwuld immediately charged in to fight with Vicente a close second, like lightning the first Stormcloak fell from being burnt to death. The second Stormcloak then drew his bow and shot Vicente in the foot with it Vicente quickly fell to the ground. As Vicente was falling he screamed
"By Azura" cast a healing spell to heal his wound. Brunwuld then managed to hack into the Stormcloaks spinal cord, paralyzing him and then lopping his head of like the headsman tried to do to him.
They then started to look for potions they found a few healing potions along with some magicka and stamina potions.
"Well at least we found some potions" remarked Vicente who then paused "if fewer then I imagined, oh well shall we continue?"
"I guess we should continue onward then, Vicente"
"well... (Loud crashing sound) I suppose that would be a good idea".
Our protagonists continue to go forward into the depths of Helgen (Bzzat Zat bzzz) they hear the sound of shock magic so they quickly rush down the stairs. They then see what looks like a torture room they see one imperial dead and one about to be killed by a Stormcloak they quickly rush to his aid but it is too late. The Stormcloaks then notice them the female quickly rushes them faster than Vicente could react, swings her axe at Vicente. Vicente than closes his eyes awaiting the blow but it is blocked by Brunwuld's shield. Vicente then jabs at her with his sword but she dodges, Brunwuld then shouts "for Sheogorath" and hacks into her like a hot knife through butter. But even as he kills the female the male Stormcloak uses his great sword to cut into his leg from a distance
"argh" yells Brunwuld. Vicente then uses his fire spell to attack the Stormcloak who then drops to the ground and rolls around. Before the Stormcloak could get up Vicente quickly stabs him through the heart. "Please, Vicente could you get me a health potion?" Brunwuld asks while in pain
"yes I'll get one from my potion bag". Vicente then grabs a potion from his bag and gives it to Brunwuld who then drinks it down
"thank you very much"
"you're welcome; now let's see if we can find any loot".
They quickly notice that inside one of the cages there is a dead mage. "Did you see any keys or lock picks?" asks Vicente, who was jumping and eager to get both the spell tome and the mages hood asked.
"Yes I saw a key drop when the interrogator died; here you can unlock the door "Brunwuld then gave Vicente the key and went looking for some heavy armour.
"YES! Some heavy armour" exclaimed Brunwuld, he quickly put it on and practiced moving in it. Meanwhile Vicente is putting on the hood and taking the spell book,
"so then, it is a spark spell tome that will be very useful". Having gathered everything of use, they then continued through the wall into a cavern.
As they continued through the tunnel they found a stream, about ten minutes after they found the stream they heard voices. "We should wait for Ulfric" one stated
"no we should go on another" remarked another gravely. The final voice yelled
"wait I hear footsteps" Brunwuld and Vicente then revealed themselves and charged at the Stormcloaks Brunwuld quickly hit one in the throat with his shield killing him breaking his neck, he then spun around and hit another with the back of his axe knocking him out. Just as the final Stormcloak was about to stab him in the back he was hit by Vicente's fire spell and then lost his head as quickly as an angry drunk man.
"Thanks" said Brunwuld
"You're welcome" replied Vicente. They then stabbed the unconscious Stormcloak in the heart.
They then continued onward until they reached a raised draw bridge, they quickly found they lever to lower it. No sooner had they crossed the bridge when rocks had fallen like meteors and destroyed it, "I guess we won't be going back that way" said Brunwuld grimly. But still they persisted in going through the tunnel after another hour they reached a giant space filled with frostbite spiders. As it was getting late they went back a ways and collected some wood and made a fire. They also gathered some moss to make makeshift pillows and went to sleep.
Once they awoke they stretched and went towards where the frostbite spider awaited. Once they reached the clearing of stone they quickly charged in. Vicente used his fire spell to kill some of the weak spiders immediately while using his sword to slice the stronger ones. At the same time Brunwuld was using his axe to hack and slash his way through both weak spiders and strong ones but before he could react, one bit him and soon many more followed. As he was getting bitten he became slower than a 5000 ton snail. Because the spiders were so close Vicente had to attempt his lightning spell. He quietly whispered "please work" and started zapping spiders left and right. Once all the spiders were dealt with, Vicente said "here this should stop the blood" and handed Brunwuld a healing potion. They continued to go forward towards the hopeful exit. As they went forward they talked about plans "so what do you plan to do once we escape Brunwuld?" Vicente asked.
"I plan to help people out by killing bandits and other threats, what about you?" asks Brunwuld
"Hmmm I think I'll help you with your goal "says Vicente. "Okay... wait is that fresh air I smell?" replies Brunwuld.
"Yes I think your right" finishes Vicente who then starts to run. Seeing Vicente run Brunwuld also decides to run until they reach the exit. As they reach the exit they cover their eyes from the sun and walk out.
