I woke up and ate my breakfast peacefully. The soup had been warm, just the opposite of the weather outside. Afterwards I began to finish getting dressed and grabbed my coin purse to buy more supplies for my trips. I needed to stock up while I had the chance.

I stepped outside and shivered as the wind hit me. Even Solitude was starting to get cold. It most likely wouldn't be long before the port would freeze over. Giving a goodbye to the inn keeper I pulled my scarf over my nose and rushed out into town, eager to see what the vendors had for sell this time around.

" Thank you, now make sure you stay warm. I heard there is a storm coming this way, wouldn't want you to get caught in it in the middle of your travels."
I smiled at the vendor as I took the vegetables.

" Thank you for the concern. I'll make sure to stay warm."
We gave a nod towards each other before I walked my own way. I glanced down at the vegetables in my bag. They'd be perfect for this type of weather. Not to mention I had just bought some meat and cheese as well. If I was going to travel then I was going to travel on a happy stomach.

Then it seemed that time had stopped.
When I looked up I felt my heart pound and stop all at the same time. I had spotted the black hair at first, but of course that could have been anybody. I tried to tell myself that. He stood, that bored look still on his face, as he looked around. Then his eyes landed on me.

My entire body had gone numb. Gold. They were gold.

" Dragon!"

Our eyes ripped away from each other and to the sky. It seemed the whole city rumbled at the creature flew past, barely missing the buildings. Everything dropped for my hands and I ran. But the crowd shoved against me, everyone running away from it as I ran towards it. I'm sure they all thought I was crazy. Even I thought I was crazy for most of the reckless things I did. But I found that I wasn't alone. Just ahead to my right there he was, running in the exact same direction I was.

I couldn't focus on that despite how much I wanted to. I needed to focus on keeping everyone safe.

I finally bursted through the city gates only to have to dodge ice as it hurled at my face. I rolled then reached back for my bow. I heard the dragon cry in pain as my arrows landed on it one by one, the spell I had place on them taking effect. It's head flicked towards me. Its jaw opened, ready to snap when I beat him to it. My shout left my lips and it stumbled, buying me time to do the final blow. Only someone had beat me to it.
I stood dumbfounded as he ran and jumped, his sword high above his head. The dragon screeched as the blade sliced through its neck. Then its head fell in defeat.

Though there was cheers I didn't hear them. I looked at the dragon, my chest heaving, then up to him.

" It's the dragonborn!"

" She's just as heroic as I pictured her!"

For the first time I had seen emotion flash across his face. Although I wasn't sure just what emotion it was. His eyes seemed to widen and his lips parted oh so slightly. I hooked the bow onto my back, not once taking my eyes off of him. He knew who I was. He remembered me. I know he did.

The golden light began to swirl towards me, the wind making me shiver. I took a step forward but that seemed to be my mistake. He instantly sheathed his sword and booked it.
" Is he insane! He's heading right towards the storm!"

Oh no. He wasn't getting away. Not this time.
Without any hesitation I chased after him into the deadly storm that brewing ahead.

Thanks for the reviews! They inspired me to continue on with this story, I should have more out soon. :)
