Chapter 2
I forgot to say this last chapter but I don't own anything, except my oc's. Do I really need to say anything else?
So a dragon lands on top of the tower. His, at least I think it's a he, breath almost scorches me but provides the opportunity to run. Camilla follows me and we meet up with another prisoner. Ralof or something. So we followed him into a tower with other Stormcloak. As the others begin to talk about the appearance of the dragon, Ralof pulls me aside and asks, "That elf blackmailing you? We could always take care of her."
"What? No! Why would you assume that? She has been nothing but nice to me since we met." I ask.
"She's an elf, I we don't need any more reason." I frown and turn to run up the stairs and everyone follows. As I get up there's a crash and the dragon's head pops in and breaths fire. I narrowly avoid becoming a crisp and, at Ralof's assistance, jump out into another building. With the amount of beds there I'm guessing it was an inn.
I turn my head when I hear a thump next to me and see and see Camilla standing next to me unbound and holding that staff of hers'. "How do you still have that thing? And how are your hands untied. Wait, why am I arguing when you can get MY hands untied?"
She shrugs and unties my hands and we go down to the ground level and outside. When we get there we see the soldier who was sort of kind to me, helping a civilian. He sees us and tells me to follow him. As the three of us walk through the burning wreckage I suddenly feel something pull the tattered cloth that was my shirt and lifted me up. I turned and saw the dragon holding me up. I was so shocked that I couldn't do anything as he put me down and turned to face me.
(Bet you guys thought I would follow the story exactly. Nope)
"So you are the one they call Dragonborn. You don't look like much. But that is to be expected, your weak in your current state." If dragons could look disappointed than he surely would right now. "Listen here, worm. You are the one who could defeat me. But in your current state you would not stand a chance. So go, build up your strength. Go and hunt down vampires, trolls, and the undead but know this; I am growing stronger with each day. And at the end of your journey you will face a choice, one that you will find a hard time making. I know of the game your world has, so understand this. Those were copies, mere shadows of my splendor. And you will face me at my most powerful. Behold the might of ALDUIN!"
And with that shout he turned and shouted something in an incomprehensible language and half of the town was smashed. Finally waking out of my shock and ran down to the keep, all the while listening to "yes, run mortal! Run from my might, hahaha!"

Eventually I found a hole that I could get into and ended up in a chamber. There were dead Stormcloaks all around and some hooded guy sitting quietly in the corner. I stayed away from him and took some weapons and armor. Some hide armor, boots, and braces were all mine, as well as an iron sword and an iron battle ax. I walked into a cave and saw Camilla and the soldier fighting some Stormcloaks. I draw my battle ax and charge yelling at them to stop.
Some of them break off and run at me yelling "Victory or Sovngarde!" I had no choice but to block their slash with my ax. Before they could recover I did a downward hack and he fell, limp. I turn to the other and charge as she pulls an arrow. I knock her bow aside and trap her head between my ax and me and slam my head into her. Like her friend she slumps down, limp.
I sheath my weapon and put my hands on my knees. The soldier goes up to me and asks, "This your first time killing?" I just nod in reply. He looks at me sympathetically before urging me to my feet. "I'm Hadvar, come. This way leads to an exit." After the nausea passed I got up with some help from Camilla and followed him.
In the next chamber there was a sleeping bear. So, calling upon old lessons, I chose to let it lie. The three of us snuck our way past it and got outside where we saw the dragon Alduin heading north. Hadvar then invited us to his home and left. Before Camilla could go anywhere I grabbed her and pushed her up against the cliff. She yelped at first then turned red at our position which was…close, to say the least.
"Ok. Now that no Dragon is attacking or people are trying to chop off my head, I want some answers. Why am I here, who are you people, and why the fuck did a dragon talk to me!" at this her eyes widened and I released her. She slumped to the ground and sat there for a bit, lost in thought.
"That dragon was no ordinary dragon," she stated while picking herself up. "That was Alduin, the world eater. He wishes to destroy the world and enslave all other sentient beings. You are the Dragonborn, the only one who can stop him. There, that should answer two of you questions at least. As for whom we are, I am a priestess in the land of Skyrim. It is the home of the Nords but houses many other races."
I cut her off before I she could continue. "I think I can figure out the rest. Wow, I actually always wanted to play Skyrim, but I never actually thought I would go there. So, I need to kill a dragon that's powerful enough to destroy civilization, is that right?" I ask turning to her. She just nods quickly. "Well then, I'm going to need some help." I say looking directly at her.
"Wait what! You can't be serious!" she protests getting up and pointing a finger at me. "I'm not even supposed to fight!"
"You're good at magic, right?" she nods, abet more slowly than before. "Then you can help me master it. Now where would the best place to start this little, quest of ours, be?"
"In just a little bit there's a town called Riverwood, you know what here." And she gives me a map of Skyrim and I see River wood on the map. "The guy that led me out said we could go to this town and his uncle would help us."
"What are we waiting for them," o said while drawing my battle ax. "Let's get going before a troll comes by and murders us."
Wow, I had no idea why this took so long. I have never had a worse case of writers block. But it's out now. Look for the next chapter in a few weeks. As usual, follow, fav. and review
Arrivederci
