The day that Martin Septim died in the name of ending the oblivion crisis he had no idea that another of his line had been born the last of the Septim line and no one not even the child themself would ever know. For more than 200 years the Septim line would be believed dead until a young woman would come and relight the Flames and bring peace and prosperity to the empire once more.
The first time I saw her I was still just a child. The first night I had The dream of her I thought she was beautiful of course but it didn't mean anything to me. She looked to be 10 years older than I was at the time. The dream came again and again and again. I started to notice more details. How she carried herself with such grace and purpose. The ebony sword at her hip that I could tell was not for show. I could see in the way she moved that she was well trained. I was 14 when the dreams started and for six months I dreamt of her in that moment. Twenty years later I stood shocked as it happened again only this time I wasn't dreaming. For all those years I never realized I wasn't dreaming at all but seeing this one moment in my own future over and over till I was driven to make it real.

She sat on the hill above the docks looking out over the ships. She set her knapsack next to her and pulled out her map. She didn't know where she was heading from here. She wanted to head to the college in Winterhold but it was on the other side of Skyrim over mountainous terrain and with winter only a month away she didn't think she'd make it. Plus with no money she'd have to walk the whole way. Markarth Seems like a good choice but going that far south seems like she'd wasted all this effort getting this far north. And who's to say she could make it that far south on foot without being attacked by bandits or the forsworn.

I was heading up to the gates of Solitude when I noticed a young girl looking at what seem to be a map. She looks so serious and focused I wondered if she was older than she looked. Without even thinking about it I walked over to her and crouch down behind her to see the map in her lap.
"Where are you planning to go?" I asked which clearly startled her she gasped and jumped causing her to fall back into me. Seeing the startled look on her face made me chuckle but then I really looked at her and I saw that she had Her eyes and while clearly years younger she had Her face!
"I haven't really decided yet." She answered while clearly still upset about being startled.
I almost didn't hear her over the internal screams of joy going on in my head. After nine years of searching I'd finally found her. I couldn't stop smiling. She went back to looking at her map clearly pretending I wasn't still there. "Are you planning to stay at the inn tonight?" I need to know that she wasn't going to get on the ship or take a carriage out of town tonight. Even though it didn't seem likely with the answer she gave before about not having decided where to go.
"I don't have the coin to spare for that." She said well still going over her man like it was going to give her the answers as to where to go and what to do.
"If you don't have any coins to spare I know a place you can stay for free. If you want to that is."
She looked at me with great suspicion and said "I don't need your help."
'She's a tuff one! I love it! She'll definitely need it for the road ahead.' I thought with a smile. "Well that's good to know but I'm offering it just the same." I couldn't stop smiling at her I just couldn't help it 10 years of seeing her in my head. Nine years of searching and she was here I finally found her! "A friend of mine has a manor house up in the city where her family lives full time. She's hardly ever home with all the various things she has on her plate but I've been told... well kind of ordered to stop in and check on her family whenever I'm in town." I faltered for a moment but went on. "but her wife kind of hates me so you know you have to be prepared for her smart mouth. So what do you say? Would you like to join me and ruining her night?" I smiled at her again and held out my hand just waiting to see what she do.
