Karisse's Point of View:
I woke with a shiver, and my eyes fluttered open. A cold fog surrounded me, winding through the rooms. I stood up, my legs feeling weaker than normal. I fumbled my way through the fog, my right hand resting on the pommel of my sword and using my left to guide myself. I found my way onto the battlements of the fort, where my archers were crouched, their heads just above the top of the wood. They clutched their bows tightly, but they didn't have arrows out.
"What's the situation?"
"This fog just materialized a few hours ago," one reported, "It's unnatural. It's been moving around us, as if intelligent, and it feels as if it is sapping our strength."
"They're planning something," I muttered, "Their mages did this. We must be extra vigilant."
I turned to look down Carir, who was standing near our gates, in front of a company of our infantry.
"Wake the Jarl," I ordered him, "We'll need everyone on guard if there's an assault incoming."
He nodded, running off to wake Kiraak. I shivered again, my grasp tightening on my blade as I realized that we were already being assaulted, with no protection from the strange fog. As Kiraak climbed onto the battlements, the fog faded away.
"What in Oblivion?"
A massive stone castle had appeared on the plains before us, and in front of it was an entire legion of New Order troops. I could see heads along the walls of the fort, indicating that at least some of the other New Orders were positioned inside.
"How in Talos's name did they get that built overnight?"
"Not even overnight," I corrected her, "The last several hours."
"To arms," Kiraak called, "To arms! All troops to arms!"
"ODAHVIING," she Shouted, and I heard a dragon roar in the distance.
I apologize for the short chapter, but I wanted the big fight to be from Kiraak's point of view because I've always felt that a Dragonborn's point of view is more interesting in a large fight.
