A dragon landed atop the guard tower behind the headsman, causing a shockwave to ripple outwards, and the headsman to stumble, dropping his axe in the process. The dragon roared sending a blast of raw power forward to knock back anything unlucky enough to be caught in its path. Ruby flew to the right hitting her head as she collided with the ground. She soon got up groggily and unbalanced as chaos rained around her. She heard a faint noise that was almost completely drowned out by the ringing in her ears, but as the ringing cleared up, she heard Ralof shouting from her right.

"Quickly, into the keep, follow me!" she nodded, and then unsteadily followed him. Almost as soon as they had entered the keep, the door was closed behind them by Ulfric Stormcloak.

"Jarl Ulfric, what is that thing, could the legends be true?" Ralof asked.

"Legends don't burn down villages." Replied Ulfric as another roar came from outside the keep.

"We have to get out of here," Ralof yelled, "up the stairs, quickly!" They both ran up the stairs, but stopped when they reached a wall of rubble that was slowly being removed by a Stormcloak. The dragon burst through the wall, knocking back ruby and Ralof. The Stormcloak barely had time to scream before he was burned to a crisp by bright orange dragonfire. Then the dragon flew off allowing the pair to run to the hole in the wall and peer out of it.

"Over there, jump into that inn." Ralof said pointing at a ruined inn with a hole in the roof. Ruby didn't argue she just took a few steps backwards before sprinting forward and jumping off the keep. She flared her aura as she crashed through the floorboards of the upper floor, and hit the floor below with a loud thud. Her aura protected her from most of the damage, so she quickly got back up and ran out of the building and behind what must have been a part of the thatched roof of the inn.

"Quickly Rogvir, to me!" Hadvar yelled next to Ruby to a small boy being closely followed by a bearskin-cloaked man. They reached cover just in time to avoid another savage blast of dragonfire.

"That's it, you're doing great." Hadvar turned to Ruby unsheathing his sword as he did so. "Still alive prisoner, good. Keep close to me if you want to stay that way. Hrogvar, I'm gonna find a way out of here."

"Gods guide you, Hadvar." Said the bearskin-cloaked man named Hrogvar. Hadvar ran forward and Ruby had little else to do but follow. They turned right and approached a small drop with a wall to either side.

"Stay close to the wall!" Hadvar commanded as they leapt down. For a small amount of time, Ruby didn't know which wall or why she was doing this but had both questions answered as she stopped next to Hadvar and the dragon landed on the wall, the curved claw on the tip of its wing impaling a spot in the wall next to Ruby. Her eyes widened as she realised just how close to death she had come.

The dragon flew off and the pair pressed forward and up a staircase, turning left and running through a mostly ruined house. They emerged from the house to have Ruby stop in front of a group of archers and mages next to an injured woman who was clutching her stomach. But as she looked closer, she realized that they had their attention on the dragon flying above them and ran left to catch up with Hadvar. They passed through a stone archway and into an area with a keep to the right and another door further down but still to the right. Ralof came running in from another archway to the left, brandishing an iron war axe.

"Ralof, you damned traitor! Out of my way!" Yelled Hadvar, running to the door further down. Ralof disregarded him, and ran to the door that lead into the keep. They both stopped outside their respective doors and turned Towards Ruby.

"Come on Ruby, with me." Hadvar called. Ruby stepped towards Hadvar but stopped when Ralof yelled "Quick Ruby, into the keep."

Now she didn't know what to do, she didn't know whom she trusted more. The man who tried to save her from the block, and did save her from a painful, fiery end or the man who was there to help her when she was disoriented, and helped her escape the keep. Whether she should go with the imperials or the Stormcloaks. If she should go with the rebels and criminals that were the Stormcloaks, or with the people who tried to remove her head. Whatever decision she made, she would have to make it soon or all of her efforts to survive would be for nothing.


A/N: So that was this chapter, sorry it was much shorter than last chapter but i couldn't go any further cause i want to know who you guys think she should go with. so I'm going to put a poll on my wall for if she should go with Hadvar or if she should go with Ralof. So I'll give you guys 3 days to vote. Reviews, Favourites/ follows, constructive criticism and of course votes are gratefully accepted, but for now, Goodbye.
