IMPRISONED
When I wake up I'm in a tiny jail cell in a dungeon. The Aldmeri must have taken control of Windhelm as I heard voices that I've never heard a Nord use this is what they said:
"What do we do with the prisoners and especially the two with the voice?" One asked the other.
"Interrogate and execute, we've already taken charge of most holds in Skyrim and its been much the same in each of them." Was the reply.
Well no bastard elf is killing me!, I think to myself and search the room for an escape route. I find a grate on the floor but it is locked tight and I need to get out of here fast, I could always shout it apart but that would alert the guards, I think to myself and again search the room for lock-picks. I only find one though and there won't be only one locked door or gate so I'd best make this count. Getting the grate off wasn't much of a problem but finding my way through the maze of tunnels below was, after about what had to be 20 minutes of walking in complete circles I found a hatch in the roof. I manage to open it but see an elf standing just in front, This should be easy enough, and drag the elf down into the dark tunnels. I take his armor and weapons and jump up into the barracks again. When I peek out the door I see a chest which usually keeps prisoner's belongings , I hope my armor and weapons are there but Talos' only knows because they intended to kill me and i don't know what good armor is to a dead man, still I walk up to the chest and find it's locked ,surprise surprise, I say to myself. I turn around to see if there are any elves about , only one that's sleeping, I try to pick the lock but break the lock pick ,shit, I think to myself. I have to break the lock with a dagger of sorts but the noise would surely wake the elf so I walk up to him and make his sleep permanent. I then turn to the chest and manage to break it's lock. I open the chest and , Talos be praised, that my armour and weapons were there. I change out of the elf's thalmor armor and change into my Stormcloak set.
I walk out of the barracks and hear more elven voices, I crouch and listen,
"Do you know what happened to Ulfric?" An Elf asked
"Dead," the other repied," did it myself." He added in a smug way
They walk away laughing to each other and I follow them and kill them both ,remorseless, that's for you ulfric, I say to the sky hoping he'll hear me. When I next get a proper look at Windhelm it's a shell of a city, the houses and buildings are reduced to rubble and I'm surprised that the palace is still in one piece,especially because I burned it. I decide I need to go to Riverwood and collect some Septims I have in a permanently reserved room I have at the inn there. I leave Windhelm and head for the deserted stables, apart from a few horses, I take a chestnut brown horse and head for Riverwood.
After at least two days ,non-stop, I come to pass Whiterun. It's worse than Windhelm. the houses are flattened, the inns and shops are rubble and dragonsreach is barely taller than a skeever! As I pass closer to the gates I see that children are lined up. I repress this.
"The Aldmeri Dominion are taking Skyrim for themselves!" I think aloud.
I push on to Riverwood ,after seeing the horrors of Whiterun this can't be worse, and in an hour I'm there. To my surprise Riverwood is still standing and there isn't and Elf in sight , The elves must only want the larger cities, I think to myself. I walk into the Sleeping Giant Inn and go to my room to collect my Septims and a Talos amulet . I walk out of my room to be met by Delphine and she wants answers I don't have
"What in the name of Talos' is going on?!" she asks obviously referring to Whiterun.
"I don't know. all I know is that the Aldmeri Dominion are wanting Skyrim, the same thing that happened to Whiterun happened to Windhelm, Ufric is dead and I'd say the same for Balgruuf." I reply
"What in the divines would the elves want with Skyrim?" she asks
"I don't know but I'm going to find out." I say and leave the inn.
I decide I need to get a blessing from the warrior stone in case I get jumped by Elves, so I go to the warrior stone and decide there that I need to learn new shouts from the Greybeards. So I head to Ivarstead to go to the inn because it was already getting dark and I didn't want to walk up seven thousand steps in pitch black. After a few hours on horse back I finally make it to Ivarstead and go to Vilmeyr's inn and rent a room and go straight to sleep.
