Immortal Trinity

Chapter 1

"The patient is going into shock! We'll lose both her and the child!"

Pain…

"Get the healers here immediately! We need to save them!"

True, mind wracking pain…

"Azura curse those fools thrice! Where in Oblivion are they?!"

It's amazing where the mind can take someone in a state of unconsciousness. The things you see, hear, feel, and perhaps most important of all…

"She's dead...we were too late to save her. Only the child survived. A miracle in of itself."

Remember.

As I regain consciousness I realize that whatever it is I'm sitting on is rickety and old. How I know this is because my seat keeps bouncing and/or rocking when it shouldn't. I also notice right away that my hands are bound at the wrist with thick lashing. Wherever I am or whatever it is I got myself caught up in, it's not giving me any reassurances at all.

I open my eyes and immediately I experience the very common pain of sunlight scorching your eyes like mage fire does with rabbit legs.

After re-obtaining my vision and mumbling a few curses towards the sun, I look around to get my bearings and discover the reason behind the bouncing and rocking. I'm in a transport carriage and not the only one apparently.

In front of me is a blonde Nord man wearing what looks like guard armor without the insignia of the Hold. To his left is another Nord, shorter and darker hair with an obvious bald spot. Instead of armor though, this one was wearing shoddy rags for clothes. Across from him and to my right was a very peculiar sight, an older Nord but instead of rags or armor he's wearing apparel more fit for a Jarl. Another thing that was curious about him was that he was gagged with thick cloth.

As I was looking around at the surrounding wildlife, the blonde across from me suddenly asked, "Hey you, finally awake are you? Quite the nasty blow you took to the head there. How are you feeling?"

I was conflicted on whether or not to answer him, but after a few moments I eventually replied with, "Fine."

"That's good, was hoping you didn't become dumb after that shield bash. You hit the ground pretty hard after that."

'That explains the pain I'm still feeling,' I thought.

"You were trying to cross the border weren't you?", he asks.

"Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us and that thief over there.", he says jerking his head to the man in rags who looks at him with clear disgust on his face.

"Damn you Stormcloaks to Oblivion, if it weren't for you I would've stolen that horse and be halfway to Hammerfell by now.", he tells him and then looks at me and says, "Hey you, we don't belong here you and me. It's these Stormcloaks the Imperials want."

"We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief.", the blonde spits out with disdain.

The driver briefly tells us to shut up, but he was promptly ignored as the horse thief looks to the man to my right.

"What's with him?", he ask with curiosity.

The blonde barks out, "Watch your tongue! You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak! The true High King of Skyrim!"

"Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm?!", the thief asks and then pales in the face, "Gods, where are they taking us?!"

"I don't know but, whatever happens, Sovngarde awaits."

"Mara! Akatosh! Dibella! Divines, please help me!", the thief chants out.

The soldier turns to the thief and asks, "Hey thief, where are you from?"

"Why do you care?", the thief replies.

"A Nord's last thoughts should be of home."

"R-rorikstead, I'm from Rorikstead."

After that everything fell into a tense yet comfortable silence as the convoy, which I had taken notice of a little while ago, continues along the road. It was if everyone understood what was to happen and accepted their fate. I had settled down as relaxed as I could and just stared into nothing, not knowing at the time that my life was about to change entirely.

First Chapter is out and I hope that it is satisfactory. I know it's short and I apologize for that, but I'm currently doing this with a AT&T hot spot at my job site which is also where I currently live at for about a year to year and a half.

Promise to make chapters longer as soon as I get authorization to use the official WiFi which will most likely be next week.
