Ch 1

UNBOND

I slowly woke up to the sound of old metal clanking together constantly as I opened my eyes to see the source of the noise I noticed I was in some sort of carriage. It was fully wooden and the wheels had some sort of metal connecting them together. Obviously that's where the noise was coming from. Whimpering at the soreness of my head, I must have drawn the attention of my fellow passengers as I heard a rough voice speak out. "Hey you're finally awake kid. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there." Said the blond prisoner who was wearing a blue like armor. He was just gesturing at the brown head man who sat next to him. He was also wearing rags like me. "Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn't been looking for you, I could've stolen that horse and been halfway to Hammerfell. You there... You and me, we shouldn't be here. It's these Stormcloaks the Empire wants." Said the horse thief as he looked towards me.

Looking back at the blonde man who had begun to speak again. "We're all brothers and sisters in binds now, thief." Suddenly without warning a man in full leather armor shouted at us. "Shut up back there!" I jumped in Fright at the suddenness of his voice, seeing that everyone had finally gone quiet for a little while I begun to look around at my surroundings. All I could see were long trees that were either Oak or pine trees I couldn't tell however the more I looked the more I noticed there were large rocks scattered around in certain areas and the path was just durt it was like I was in the Middle Ages. Turning back to my fellow prisoners I asked. "My name is Amara. What are all your name's?" It was the horse thief who answered first. "Lokir." After telling me his name he looked at the man with a rag covering his mouth. It was the blonde prisoner who spoke next. "My name is Ralof young Amara." He gave me a big grin when he spoke his name. However before the man sitting on my left side could speak Lokir but in. "What's wrong with him, huh?" Before I could answer an obvious question Ralof snapped at Lokir. "Watch your tongue. You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King." Everyone was quiet for a moment before what he said finally clicked in Lokir's mind.

"Ulfric? The Jarl of Windhelm? You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they've captured you... Oh gods, where are they taking us?" He said while beginning to panic and trying to get the binds on his wrist off. Taking a deep breath Ralof spoke again I assume to try to be reassuring but ended up making Lokir struggle more with his binds. "I don't know where we're going, but Sovngarde awaits." "No, this can't be happening. This isn't happening." Said Lokir as he finally stopped struggling against his binds and just laid his head in his hands. Looking up I quickly noticed we were coming close to a stone wall with a large wooden door. This must be our stop I thought. "Hey, what village are you from, horse thief?" Asked Ralof as he turn to Lokir who had finally lifted his head and was now looking up at the sky. "Why do you care?" He demanded in an angry tone as he turned towards Ralof to only be stunned at what he said. "A Nord's last thoughts should be of home." Lowering his head he took some calming breaths in and out before finally answering in a stuttering voice. "Rorikstead. I'm... I'm from Rorikstead." Looking up I noticed we were finally at the gate as it slowly opened up as we were pulled through.

"General Tullius, sir! The headsman is waiting!" All of our heads shot up as we heard the soldier shout at a seemingly serious and aggressive man in all leather with traces of gold in his armour. "Good. Let's get this over with." Answered General Tullius with clear enjoyment in his voice at the prospect of seeing some heads roll off. "Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me." I turned my head quickly to see that Lokir was praying to some of the nine. Part of Me wanted to reassure him however the rest of me knew the nine would not help. Ralof sounded furious as he spoke. "Look at him, General Tullius, the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this. This is Helgen. I used to be sweet on a girl from here. Wonder if Vilod is still making that mead with juniper berries. Funny, when I was a boy, Imperial walls and towers used to make me feel so safe." Seeing that he was slowly becoming sad with each memory. I take a moment to look around there weren't too many people around a little boy had just been told by his father to go into his house obviously the father didn't want the boy to see the execution.

Feeling the carriage finally come to a stop all of us began to stand up. "Why are we stopping?" Lokir demanded of Ralof as they were getting up. Ralof just shook his head in disappointment and just said simply. "Why do you think? End of the line. Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us." Lokir looked at him in disbelief and began to hyperventilate while frantically shaking his head as he shouted. "No! Wait! We're not rebels!" I didn't want to hear them argue anymore so I drowned them out and concentrated on the two soldiers in front of us. The male soldier had some sort of wooden board in front of him with a quill and begun to call names. "Ulfric Stormcloak. Jarl of Windhelm." The man with the rag covering his mouth slowly step towards the group of people surrounding a blood covered stone in the center of the square. "Ralof of Riverwood. Lokir of Rorikstead." Ralof moved without question and joined his brothers and sisters as he called them in the line. Lokir had finally snapped and began to panic and shout. "No, I'm not a rebel. You can't do this!" Before anyone could say anything he began running as fast as he could away from the soldiers. The female captain shouted. "Halt!" However Lokir had some sort of delusional belief that he could make it out of there. "You're not going to kill me!" I quickly covered my eyes as the Archers that were standing by drew back their bows and shot Lokir right in his back killing him instantly, that took a moment before everything was finally calm and settled again. The male soldier looked down at his list and frowned. Looking back up he asked. "Wait. You two. Step forward. Who are you?" He asked me and the tall man who stood beside me. It was the man who spoke first. "I am Kechan Jarrakas of the Nord race." My feline ears twitched at his name. This was the Dragonborn that I was meant to stay with at all time. Quickly looking at him and noticing he had short black hair tied back in a small bun his skin was fairly fair his eyes were yellowish gold, he had fairly large muscles and finally he had a small scar underneath his left eye as though someone had dragged a knife down his face. Turning back to the soldiers I spoke next. "I am Amara of the Breton, Khajiit, Dark Elve and Argonian race." When I said this the female soldier took on a disgusted look on her face and the male soldier with the list of names looked at me as if I was a mystery to be solved before turning to his female captain. "Captain. What should we do? They're not on the list." The female captain didn't hesitate to respond. "Forget the list. They're going to the block." The male soldier looked at me with sadness in his eyes before saying to his captain. "By your orders, Captain. Follow the Captain, prisoners." Turning to the Dragonborn I slowly followed him to the other group of prisoners.

General Tullius smugly walked up to Ulfric with a big grin on his face. "Ulfric Stormcloak. Some here in Helgen call you a hero. But a hero doesn't use a power like The Voice to murder his king and usurp his throne." Ulfric just grunted and glared at the general as he spoke. "You started this war, plunged Skyrim into chaos, and now the Empire is going to put you down, and restore the peace." He said in a raised voice seemingly trying to make himself look intimidating however in my opinion he looked like an overstuffed chicken however the thought quickly flew out of my mind as a roar could be heard from the distance which made everyone quiet down to try and hear it. "What was that?" Spoke the male soldier who was calling out the name. "It's nothing Hadvar. Carry on." Said the general as he himself was Turning his head trying to figure out where the noise was coming from. "Yes, General Tullius. Give them their last rites." Said the female captain as she addressed a Priestess of Arkay. The priestess stepped forward and raised her arms towards the prisoners before speaking. "As we commend your souls to Aetherius, blessings of the Eight Divines upon you, for you are the salt and earth of Nirn, our beloved..." The priestess was however cut off mid pray by one of the rebels with dark shabby hair. "For the love of Talos, shut up and let's get this over with." The priestess looked at him angrily before snapping at him. "As you wish." Before she could fully turn away I quickly made a motion with my hands which was a way to thank all priests and priestess for their prayers. She stopped for a moment before nodding her head slightly towards me and then walked off.

The brown haired rebel who had interrupted the priestess stepped over to the blood covered stone and stood there shouting insults to the executioner and the female captain. The female captain seemingly having had enough of his nonsense lowered him down to his knees and kicked him in the back causing his head to hit the stone. "Come on, I haven't got all morning. My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperials. Can you say the same?" He said even though he was still wincing in pain from being pushed down very hard on The Rock. Looking at the Executioner slowly lift up the axe I started to hyperventilate however before I knew it someone had stepped in front of me blocking my view as the axe was brought down making a swooshing sound could be heard before a squelching, crunch sound before hearing that axe finally hit the stone. Looking up at the person who stood in front of me I saw it was the Dragonborn. "Don't look OK kid?" I slowly nodded my head at his request unfortunately I would still need to see the dead body as the captain shouted for the next prisoner. "Next, The mixed breed." Before anyone could react allowed roaring sound could be heard again this time closer.

"There it is again. Did you hear that?" Said Hadvar as he turned away from the other prisoners to see if he could see the source of the sound. "I said, next prisoner!" Shouted the captain. As Hadvar turned back he slowly walked up to me and led me to the blood-covered stone while blocking my view of the corpse. "I'm sorry kid orders are orders." He said to me with a sad look in his eyes. One of the female rebels began to shout at the Executioner and the captain. "What it's just a child.. What type of monsters are you if you're going to kill a child!" More of the Rebels began to join in as I was slowly lowered to the stone and had my head laid upon it. From where I was I could see the Executioner clearly as well as the sun. Just as the Executioner was lifting the axe as high as he could with the metal part glinting in the sunlight a roar could be heard then all of a sudden a dragon flies over by the mountain and down to land on top of the tower right behind the Executioner. The Beast takes in a deep breath before seemingly shout however I was like no other shout this calls the Sky Go from sunny and cloudless to Gray and filled with thunderstorm Without Rain. When the Dragon shouts again the Executioner falls to the ground Clutch in his head as blood pores out his nose eyes and ears as he screamed in pain and agony begging for someone to help him before finally becoming still and quiet. I was also knocked backwards by the shout and had temporarily lost my hearing and slightly my sight.

Getting to my feet I looked around and noticed my eyesight was slightly blurred from hitting my head, hearing a muffled sound I could see someone standing in front of me with blonde hair and wearing something blue without thinking I followed the man into a large tower just as a large rock shattered in front of the opening. Shaking my head once and twice I could finally see and hear everything again. "What was that?" I asked as Ulfric quickly walked over to me and knelt down and pulled out his Dagger and began to cut the bindings off my wrists. Ulfric then handed me The Dagger as he got up and turned to Ralof and began speaking with him. "Jarl Ulfric! What is that thing? Could the legends be true?" Ralof asked Ulfric as I began to cut the binding of the dragonborn's wrists. He kneeled down in front of me and began to check me for any injuries. "Legends don't burn down villages." answered Ulfric as he turned to me and the Dragonborn. "Kechan is the child all right?" Kechan looked up at the Jarl and quickly nodded his head. "A slight cut on the back of his head but nothing that can't be healed." The Jarl nodded his head before he faced Ralof and ordered. "We need to move. Now!" Ralof quickly moved to the stairs spiraling up the tower and turned to me and Kechan and motioned us to follow him. "Up through the tower, let's go!" As Ralof and Kenchan ran up the stairs quite fastly I struggled to keep up because the steps were larger than what they needed to be. Before reaching the very top Ralof stopped me and Kenchan as a mysterious voice shouted. "Yol...Toor...Shul!" As the head of the Dragon burst through the wall of the tower and breathed fire on one of the stormcloaks who was trying to move some boulders away from the stairs so we could get to the top, hearing The Screams of the rebel slowly being burned to a crisp was horrifying just standing there watching this pour man try to put the flames out but in the end just dying a most gruesome death. This however didn't stop Ralof as he lifted me up and placed me on the back of Kechan and pushed us towards the hole in the wall. "See the inn on the other side? Jump through the roof and keep going! Go! We'll follow when we can!" Before Kenchan jumped he moved me slightly on his back then looked at me strangely over his shoulder most likely because he could feel the eggs against my stomach pressed against his back. All I did was slightly shake my head letting him know that no one could know.

Kenchan made sure I was secure on his back with my arms wrapped around his neck and my legs around his waist even my tail was wrapped around his waist before he steped as far back as he could before running as fast as he could and jumping just as he got to the hole in the wall. Closing my eyes I held them as tightly closed as I possibly could before suddenly feeling as though I had the wind knocked out of me. "Amara do you think you can walk?" Asked Kenchan as HE turned to look at me over his shoulder. Opening my eyes I looked at him and nodded my head in confirmation. Kenchan then slowly lowered me off his back so I could walk by myself. Quickly looking around I knew we were in a burning house of some sort. "Kid over here." I turned to see where Kenchan was however I couldn't see him all I could see was a big massive hole in the left hand corner of the burning building. Moving towards the hole I look down to see him looking right up at me as well with his arms raised up to catch me. Taking a deep breath I jumped while closing my eyes again only to feel too strong arms wrapped around me protectively. "I've got you kid. Right.. Listen here and listen closely you are to stand as close as you possibly can to me and you don't separate from me do you understand?" Asked Kenchan as he kneeled in front of me holding my arms together. I look into his eyes to see if he was trying to lead me a stray however all I could see was true concern and worry. "Ok Kenchan... Can I call you Ken?" Kenchan looked at me for a very long moment before chuckling to himself and nodding his head.

Standing up Ken grabbed my right hand with his left and slowly let me out of the building only to see Hadvar saving a little boy before the dragon could catch him. "Everyone..get back!" Said Hadvar seeming not to have noticed me or Ken however when he turned around and saw us he seemed relieved to see we were alive. "Still alive prisoners, stay with me if you want to stay that way." He said a little bit aggressively however I could see right through it he was speaking aggressively because there were others around him and he didn't want them thinking he was being kind to us. Turning to Ken I pulled him down slightly and whispered in his ear. "We should trust him. He's not like the other imperials." Ken looked at me for a very long moment and tilted his head to question if I was sure, I give ken my most believeable confident face and nodded my head. Standing back up, Ken gave me a wink of his eye before following Hadvar and pulling me along as we ran through the Burning town. "Stay close to the wall!" Shouted Hadvar as we came to a section between a wall and a building, cures to what he meant I moved out a little bit to see what he meant. I didn't get far before Ken grabbed me and pulled me back to the wall just as the Dragon landed right above us and proceeded to burn a villager to a crisp. I covered my mouth to stop any sound from coming out as I watched the poor woman as she screamed trying to put out the flame but in a way that made it worse. Instead of wrapping herself like the last victim she was clawing at herself at first it didn't look too bad except for the Burns but all of a sudden she started clawing at her face until finally she felt to the ground and was no longer moving.

When I turn to Ken he had a Furious look on his face as he grabbed me by my arm and start to lead me through the burning buildings and over the burnt bodies we passed by. "I told you to stay close.. don't do that again!" Ken shouted at me furiously however I was partially distracted by some of the bodies we passed you couldn't even recognize them as being human it was almost like looking into a burning fire at the burnt chalk in the Ashes. All of a sudden I was lifted into the air and placed onto Ken's hip as he noticed I was busy looking at many of the burned and disfigured bodies. "Don't look kid... Just don't look." I lowered my head to his shoulder and buried my face in the crook of his neck and tried to cover my ears to drowned out the screams of men, women and some even children. Finally stopping I looked up to see what was going on only to see Ralof coming out of nowhere with an axe dripping with blood in hand looking as though he was ready to murder with the blood splattered across his face, hands and body however it was Hadvar who spoke first. "Ralof! You damned traitors. Out of my way!" He shouted as he stepped in front of me and Ken. "We're escaping, Hadvar. You're not stopping us this time." shouted Ralof as he looked at me and Ken expectantly although he looked a little bit mad as he stared at us behind Hadvar. Hadvar looked at me and Ken over his shoulder. Worry clear in his eyes I see him gently shaking his head hoping Ralof didn't notice. "Fine. I hope that dragon takes you all to Sovngarde." After that the two men ran to separate doors of a building and both were shouting for us to follow one of them. "Ken something's not right with Ralof.. wasn't he supposed to meet us with the others where are they?... Something doesn't feel right Follow Hadvar he seems more worried about us." I whisper in Ken's ear, Ken looks at me for a long moment then nods his head as he ran after Hadvar into the far left door.

The moment we stepped through the door Hadvar quickly shut it behind us as Ken walked over to the left side of the room where there were four beds against the stone wall. Placing me carefully on the second bed away from the door we had just come through, Ken quickly moved away and began to search the chest in front of the first bed to see if there were any supplies in it. "Nothing...Kid where are you going?" Asked Ken as I got off the bed and moved to the second chest on the opposite side of my bed. Opening the chest I saw a backpack, leather helmet, leather chest plate, brown pants and some leather boots. "There's some stuff in here." Ken quickly moved beside me and took out the full set of armour before moving behind me. "OK kid don't look behind you I'm going to put this stuff on." While he was getting changed I grabbed the backpack and looked at it carefully. The backpack was made out of some sort of animal skin and it was large for an ordinary backpack. On the backpack there was a single strap keeping the lid of the Pack shut with a little buckle, there were two pockets which had smaller buckles on them to keep them shut as well. The two pockets were at the front of the backpack both pockets were close to where the buckle is, next to the pocket on the right hand side there were two straps going long ways obviously meant to hold something like a sword, axe, pickaxe or a torch, next to the pocket on the left side was a strap going downwards connected to a buckle at the bottom of the pack to hold some sort of rope. When I turned the bag to the left side I could see two straps in the centre as well as having two long pockets on each side of the straps turning the bag over to its right side I saw that it had one large pocket possibly meant for books. Turning it so it was facing me again I noticed that there were two large straps on the bottom of the bag and remembering dudleys old camper bag they were obviously meant for a sleeping bag. Finally done inspecting it I opened it up to see if it had anything inside and sure enough inside was a clear male adult shirt in the color red, for some reason instead of adult sized pants there were child sized pants in the color of dark brown and finally there were black lace up boots that would reach my calfs and a leather strap. After taking the stuff out of the bag I noticed there was a little sack at the bottom reaching out and grabbing it I noticed with delight that I could hear some sort of metal inside meaning it could be a money bag, quickly inspecting the inside of the bag I noticed the bag had more pockets inside but I couldn't be bothered to see if it had anything in them so I quickly shut the bag and fasten the buckle.

Feeling a tap on my shoulder I turn around to see Ken in Imperial armour. "Right kid is that what you found inside the bag?" He asked as he kneeled down in front of me and looked through the small pile of clothes that I had found. "Ha ha I see you found a little money bag." He chuckled as he shook the small bag in front of my face but quickly placed the little bag down as I was about to grab it, he then helped me to my feet. "Do I need to help you?..Oh by the way how old are you?" He asked me as he looked at the pile of clothes and at me once then twice. "Erm I need help to put the stuff on because I've never worn anything like it before... And I'm 11 Summers old. How old are you?" The moment I said I needed help Ken had already started to help me get the rags off and was already in the process of getting the pants on. "Right lift up your arms... 11 Summers you're older than I thought you were... I thought you were seven Summers.. And if you must know I'm 28 summers." He said as he pulled down the large shirt over my head. Looking down I couldn't help but grown as the long shirt was almost like a short dress as it just reached above my kneecaps. However, before I could open my mouth to complain about the length, Ken grabbed the boots and was already putting my feet in them. "It looks like a dress." I said huffing as I crossed my arms. Ken just chuckled at me as he tied the laces of the boots and then tied my hair in a braid with the leather strap. "OK put the backpack on and have a look around at what we can take. Look for stuff like money, drinks, portions, ingredients, food and other stuff." As he was talking I put the backpack on and had Ken fasten the straps so it wouldn't fall off. Once he was done I walked over to the large table with two bookshelves beside it there I found six gold coins and put them in my money bag which I had tied to my right wrist. Ken came over to me with two bottles of wine and had placed them in my backpack as I told him I had found some more money.

After searching the chamber, Kenchan and I walked over to Hadvar who had three iron swords in his hands. Hadvar handed Kenchan two of the swords and handed me the last one which I struggled to lift as it was half the size of me. However, Ken kneeled down in front of me and showed me how to properly hold the sword so it was easier to lift. However he straped my sword to the left side of my bag as he reminded me that I had an iron dagger in my left boot. Once we were sure we had everything removed, we went through a small hallway leading out of the chamber. "Amara keep an eye out for anything you think we might need and just hand it to me so I can put it in the backpack for you, alright?" I look up at him and give him a thumbs up. Coming out of the end of the small corridor we turned right through another small hallway to our large circle room where there were two rebels waiting behind an iron door for us to come.

When the iron door was finally lifted the female rebel attacked Hadvar who luckily had his shield out but he was struggling against the two Rebels who had iron hammers. Ken got out his two swords and rushed forward attacking the female rebel he hit her one slicing right through her right arm then as she was screaming at the pain and loss of her arm when Kencha doug one of the swords right through her chest as blood splattered everywhere she choked on her own blood that was running not only out of her mouth but also from her chest and missing arm. The other rebel being male was still attacking Hadvar as he was trying to keep the rebel away from me, this rebel dodged most of Hadvar's attacks however he was that concentrated on me and Hadvar, he didn't notice Ken sneaking up behind him and with a loud scream all you could see was Ken's sword protruding out of the rebels chest. When the Rebels body finally fell to the ground Ken quickly rushed over towards me to see if I was harmed.

As Kenchan was making sure I was fine Hadvar walked across the room and opened the next iron door. "I'm OK Ken." I say trying to give him a reassuring smile but most likely failing but before Ken could say anything I rushed past him to the hand wagon were it had two cabbages in it. "Look Ken some food can you help me put it in my backpack?.. I'm fine Ken I promise." I say trying not to let him worry about me. It was strange no one has ever worried about me before and he is still a stranger to me so why? Ken looked at me for a very long time before heaving a heavy sigh and moving over to open my backpack. I giggled when the flap of my backpack covered not only my head but also my eyes. When my backpack was finally fastened shut I couldn't help but notice it was heavier than it should be with only having cabbage and wine in it. Turning to Ken I asked. "Why is it heavier than it's supposed to be?" Ken chuckled as he grabbed my hand and led me down the stairs with Hadvar walking in front of us as Ken explained."Hadvar found four sacks of flour and 5 tomatoes." When he was finished talking we had finally reached the bottom of the stairs and walked through an open doorway on the right hand side when suddenly a loud roar could be heard as the long corridor suddenly collapsed in front of us luckily we weren't harmed.

"Dam this dragon just never gives up." Says Hadvar as he walks towards a door on the left wall however when he opened it we were surprised to see two male rebels going through the supplies. Before they could notice us Ken turned to me and motioned me to stay. Moving further back so I couldn't see the blood bath about to happen however that did not stop me from hearing the sickening sound of flesh being cut through and bones cracking as they are sliced by swords if that wasn't bad enough. The Screams of pure pain and agony is what made my stomach turn. It was a good five-minutes before I mustard up the courage to look through the doorway only to nearly throw up at the site before me. The two rebels had obviously put up a fight as there was blood everywhere and one of the rebels head was no longer attached to his body. Walking into the room I saw Ken and Hadvar collecting as much as they could and placing it on one of the tables. Stepping over one of the bodies I tapped Ken on the arm as I turned around so he could put whatever supplies he had found straight into the backpack. "You ok kid you look a little green in the face?" Asked Hadvar as he stood by a closed door waiting for Ken to be done. I could only nod my head in reassurement that I was fine... But I wasn't fine. Yes I was used to being beaten up by my uncle and Aunt... But I wasn't used to seeing so much death in one day and I wasn't quite sure how much more I could take before it's too much.

Once he was done filling my backpack Ken kneels in front of me and takes my face into his hands. "I know this must be too much for you... However I'm not going to sugar coat it.. It's going to get harder and sometimes you'll just want to give up.. I'm here and I'm going to protect you.. Okay?" He asked me as I took deep breaths to try and calm myself as Ken used his thumbs to wipe the tears from my eyes before hugging me to himself. Once I was calm I grabbed Ken's hand and pulled him towards Hadvar as he opened another door however not long after opening the door we could hear fighting down the twisting stairs. Both Ken and Hadvar ran ahead of me to see what the noise was only to see two Imperials fighting against two rebels luckily however the fight was nearly done already with one rebel already being Dead. Ken quickly ran forward and grab the female rebel by her hair and ran his sword through her back and out her chest killing her instantly. After that Ken and Hadvar took a moment to talk to the two imperials as I walked through the torture chamber looking at anything I could possibly take and finding some lockpicks which the larger of the two imperial took the time to show me how to pick a standard lock. Seeing money in the large cage in the middle of the three cages. I used the lockpicks to unlock the cage door and took not only the four pieces of gold but a spell book and a novice hood and robes.

Once I put the stuff in my backpack and put my backpack back on I walked over to Ken who grabbed my right hand and put more money in my money bag that he had found in one of the cells connected to the walls of the corridor. Once he did that and let go of my wrist he led me down the same corridor that he had found the money in, the corridor was very long and it twisted from left to right and at the end of the corridor there was a metal bowl like thing with fire in it. Ken turned left and I sped up and tried to stay as close as I possibly could as we walked down the steps into the lower dungeon. "Amara you see them few cages with the corpses? Check to see if any of them have got money. It will be useful for when we get out of here." He said as he walked up to the large imperial and Hadvar and began to talk to them as they waited for me to finish. "Done. I found some bone meal as well." I said as I lifted the little bag with the bone meal in it. Ken looked at me with a big smile on his face as he said. "That's fantastic little man.. This will be great for potion making." Ken took the little bag and tied it to one of the leather straps on the left side of my backpack before grabbing my hand and helping me climb through a large hole in the wall which led to some sort of cave.

After finding an open archway we found the place littered with rebels killing anything they could see. Ken quickly pushed me back as one of the Rebels charged at him. However, there were too many and as I watched Kenchan and Hadvar fight against the four Rebels back to back I suddenly felt very warm and the heat was just getting hotter and hotter. Suddenly hearing a cry I turned to a fifth rebel charging at me. "AMARA RUN!" Cried Ken however I couldn't hear him as the red hotness in me had boiled over as I lifted my hands up only for them to suddenly burst into flames and burn the rebel to the ground not even a corpse was left. Before the flames could go out I turned to the last of the Rebels as Ken quickly grabbed Hadvar and pulled him down so the flames wouldn't catch them. After making sure all the Rebels were dead I calmed my breathing and walked over to Ken and Hadvar to make sure they were okay. However I didn't get a chance to speak as Ken quickly grab me into his arms and hugged me furiously while laughing madly. "You have Magic!" Shouted Ken in pure joy as he lifted me up in the air and spun me around. I couldn't help but laugh as well at his reaction of me using fire.

Hadvar however had to quickly separate us as we were running out of time to escape. "Ok Ok that's enough Amara turnaround so I can put this in your backpack.. We don't have time to have fun and games we must move now." He said as he put the extra Arrows in my backpack while giving can a bow and some arrows to go with it. I turned to Ken with a big grin on my face as I said while having my hands on my hips. "Well isn't here party pooper." This however only made Ken and Hadvar laugh at the site I made. Can then grab my hand as we follow Hadvar through a corridor leading to a small bridge. As we walked across the bridge I couldn't help but feel as though something was about to happen so in reaction to the feeling I quickly grabbed Ken and Hadvar and pulled them across the bridge faster just as a large rock fell down and smashed the bridge. "Good reflexes kid.. We would have been goners." Said Hadvar as me and Ken walked down the steps and towards the waterfall and stream that was going through the cave. "We should probably follow the stream." I said as I looked up at Ken who nodded his head in agreement. Ken then grab my hand and began following the stream as it was going left through a small opening forcing us to walk through the water itself, eventually we had to stop as the water led underneath a big Boulder.

"Here's the way out." Announced Hadvar as he ran down a tunnel into a large opening covered in webs and large egg-like things. However, it wasn't long after we stepped into the large room where we suddenly started to hear a clicking sound. Looking around for the source of the sound I noticed these big black things slowly moving towards us. "Erm guys. What are those?" I said pointing at three black creatures moving towards us. Ken followed my arm to see what I was pointing at only to quickly grabed out one of his swords and using his other hand to summon fire. "Hadvar.. Do you buy any chance have an infestation of spiders?" When Kenchan said this I squeaked and ran behind him to hide however I slowly lifted my head up as I heard a clicking sound above us. There right above our heads was an even bigger spider. "Ken look up." I said as I tapped him on his back. "SHIT!" Shouted Ken as he lifted his hand and used his own fire abilities to hit the Spider as Hadvar began to attack the smaller spiders that were quickly swarming around us. Without hesitating I quickly grabbed my own irons sword and pulled it out of the leather straps and proceeded to swing it left and right and even tried runing straight forward at a spider while swinging the sword down on top of it. Squealing as I felt something grab my tail spinning Around I saw another large spider grabbing my tail with its mouth trying to pull me to a large hole covered in webs. "KENCHAN!HADVAR!IT'S GOT ME HELP!" I screamed as I lost my footing as I was dragged across the ground by the large spider. However, I didn't stop struggling as I began to kick the spider in the eyes as well as trying to swing my sword just enough to scare it off my tail. "AMARA!" Shouted both males as they rushed to kill the last of the spiders and began to run as fast as they could towards me. Hadvar had reached me first and quickly grabbed my upper arms and proceeded to pull me away from the hole meanwhile Ken rushed forward and dug his sword right through the spider's head resulting in my tail finally being set free. "EW EW SO GROSS SO GROSS!" I said while squealing in disgust. Ken grabed my sword and restrapped it to my bag while Hadvar helped me get the spider webs out of my tail.

Hadvar and I were waiting at another opening in the cave that would lead deeper in. However Ken hard decided to collect some vials of the spiders poison as well as some of the webs from the spiders. When he was finally done and joined me and Hadvar as we slowly descended the steep slope deeper into the cave I couldn't help but hope that we were nearly out of the caves soon this was too much excitement for one day. "Hadvar is that what I think it is?" Said Ken as he pointed at a big black furry boulder in the distance. However as I squinted my eyes to try and see what it was it suddenly stood up and laid back down. "IS THAT A BEAR?!" I whispered shouted at Hadvar as he tried not to laugh at my expression and twitching feline ears. Ken then covered mine and Hadvar's mouths as he spoke. "If you two keep quiet we could probably just sneak past it." He then uncovered our mouths as he crouched down and began to slowly sneaked across a dirt like bridge and around some large rocks. Me and Hadvar quickly followed Ken's example and try to keep quiet as possible however just as we were about to escape the ground began to shake and in the process woke up the bear.

The bear now awake looks around and spots us and stands up on its back legs and lets out a loud roar before charging at us. Before anyone could stop me I stood up in front of the bear and spoke while my eyes were tightly shut. ~NO STOP!~ After a long moment of not feeling any pain I slowly opened my eyes only to come face to face with the large black bear. ~You... Speak I've never seen one of your kinds speak to us... What's your name cub.~ To say I was shocked that hearing the bear speak back to me was an understatement however I didn't hesitate to answer. ~My name is Amara. We're sorry for waking you we were just trying to leave.~ the black bear rubbed it's snout against my face one last time before slowly turning around and heading back to its nest. ~I will let it slide this time... But make sure it does not happen again.~ I quickly nodded my head as I slowly walked backwards grabbing Ken and Hadvar in the process.

Quickly running as fast as we could we finally reached along tunnel lit by bowls of Fire as we slow down to a gentle walk Ken turn to me with a suspicious look on his face. "So you can talk to animals... Would have been nice to know." When he said this I quickly lifted my head towards him as my ears flattened down on my head. "I didn't even know I could speak to them." Ken looked at me for a fairly long moment as if to see if I was lying before giving me a gentle smile and pulling me into a gentle hug as we walked. The moment didn't last long as we heard Hadvar shout to us. "This looks like the way out! For a moment there I thought we were lost." The moment we heard that we had found the way out me and Ken began running towards Hadvar and sure enough there behind him was the exit. It would be a tight squeeze well for the older ones anyways. I looked at Ken just to make sure he was definitely beside me before slowly walking out of the cave and into Skyrim.
