They all stood up and walked off the wagon. She listened as a nord read his list. Ralof sighed angrily, "Damn imperials and there lists." He walked off as he heard his name. After everyone was called, they looked at Kalina with a strange look on there faces. The nord told her to come over to him and the captain, "Wait. Who are you, Breton?"
Kalina frowned, "My name is Kalina. I'd tell you where I'm from, but I have no memory." The captain rolled her eyes and took out her sword and out it to her neck, "You better tell us now you damn Breton."
She spit in her face, "I told you milk drinker, I have no memory. Now please put your damn sword away and let me go over to the others so I can get this over with." She stared at her with eyes wide open. She heard people laugh. Even the nord with the list chuckled a bit and tried not to laugh.
Embarrassed, the captain put down her sword and stomped on Kalina's foot with her metal boot, "Watch your tongue, Breton. May be the last words you ever say." She simply smiled and ignored the pain in her foot. She limped over to the others and listened to the female priest give them there last preach.
Someone interrupted her, "Wait! I'm not a rebel I tell you! This is a mistake!" It was the horse thief. He started to run. 'Fool," Kalina thought. She watched as an archer shot an arrow through his head. The captain told the priest to continue.
Then someone else spoke up, "For the love of Talos! Just get this over with!" The priest smacked her lips together and spoke annoyed, "Very well." He went over to the executor. The captain grabbed him and put his head on the stone block. She put her metal boot on his back.
The executor raised his axe and swung it down. Kalina just watched blankly as his head fell into the basket. Ralof shot her a glance but looked back quickly before she noticed. He knew she couldn't see him out of her right eye, but she would be able to feel it. A loud roar filled the air.
Everyone looked around. One of the stormcloaks yelled, "What was that?" The captain growled, "I don't care what it is we are continuing!"
The captain yelled some more, "Next the Breton! I want to see her head in that basket." Kalina grinned sheeply, "But of course. Sorry to all you imperials who have to work for this milk drinker. Not." She hissed and walked over to the stone. A loud roar was heard again, but closer. The captain ignored it and slammed her head onto the cold stone.
Kalina felt the warm blood from the guy before her. She felt the captain slam her boot on her back. She winced and looked up at the executor . He raised his axe. She saw a line of sunlight trim the sharp edge of it.
They all heard the roar again. The ground shook and the sky started to change. The clouds started to spin in a circle upwards into the sky.
As the executor brought down his axe, a massive beast landed on the watch tower and shook the ground hard. The executor fell and Kalina tried to get up. She fell back down when the dragon let out a giant roar. She heard a deep voice saying something to her in an ancient language she couldn't make out.
She felt her shoulder being grabbed and she lazily got up. Her vision started to clear. Ralof was standing in front of her, "Come on, Kalina! We need to get out of here! Now!" She nodded still shaken up.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her into another watch tower. Her vision was clear now and she looked around. Another nord was in the tower with them. The man started to talk to Ralof, "Ralof! Where is Ulfric? And why do you have a Breton with you?"
She frowned. Ralof shot another glance at her and looked back at the man, "You know Ulfric. He will be able to find his way out. As for this Breton, she is with me. Her name is Kalina." The man nodded at her then spoke to both of them, "Very well. Now both of you, climb up the tower and get out of here!"
Ralof shook his head, "What about you? You won't possibly survive!" He shrugged, "I am willing to die for my people, Ralof. Now go! Quickly!"
Ralof sighed and nodded. He grabbed Kalina's wrist and they ran up the stairs. Kalina heard the voice again, "Ralof stop! Hold on!" He stopped and looked at her confused, "What is i-" He was cut off by a giant explosion in front of them. Fire burned down the wall and they saw the dragon.
As it left, Kalina had her eyes shot closed unable to move. Ralof shook her, "Kalina! It's gone! Quickly get up!" She opened her eyes. Much to her embarrassment, he was right. Her cheeks went pink a bit. He smiled a little and helped her up, "Alright, Kalina. I need you to jump out of this hole in the wall and land in the torn house. I will catch up to you shortly."
She nodded and with her hands still tied in front of her, she jumped and landed on her feet in the house. Pain swelled in her ankles and legs, but she went on anyway. She jumped through the hole in the floor and onto the ground. She ran forward. She saw a young boy running for his life.
She saw the dragon get ready to blast fire at him. She gasped and ran quickly to the boy and pushed them out of the way. The boy helped her up, "Thank you miss!" She nodded and felt someone grab her shoulder.
It was the nord with the list before. He looked at her up and down. He took in her beauty but snapped back to reality, "Still alive, Kalina? Follow me quickly!" She nodded and ran after him.
They hid behind some rubble from the dragon. When they noticed the clearing was safe, they ran forward. A nord man ran in front of them. It was Ralof!
The nord in front of her hissed, "Ralof you traitor! The imperials will get you!" They both frowned. Kalina looked in the sky and back at them. Ralof yelled back, "Not this time! Kalina! Quickly follow me!" The nord man frowned, "Follow me not him!" I watched the nord man run off. I stopped myself from following. Ralof smiled and took my arm and we ran through the gate.
