Flashback

"Who's next?" barked out the captain. A few prisoners looked sadly at one another before working up the courage to step forward. Misaki swallowed loudly before forcing herself to take a foot forward. She could see the blonde man look at her in horror and he shook his head at her. She wasn't even a soldier, he mouthed to her, but she ignored him and moved her other foot ahead of the first.

The prisoners began to step aside for her, they watched her pass them and they lowered their heads in respect for her bravery. Even the Imperial guards watched her with respect in their eyes and many of them nodded to her. She smiled faintly as she walked ahead with her head held up high.

She glared at the female Captain who looked down contemptuously at Misaki. Misaki turned to face the stone block and she bent her knees to step down. Her head was now hanging over the top and she felt the foot of the executioner push down at her back and she fell forward against the block.

Her neck now rested against the rough stone. She could smell the blood that had been shed on this block from many prisoners before. She blinked a few times looking to the side where a tall tower stood behind the executioner. She breathed in deeply as the executioner lifted up the halberd once again.

Misaki swallowed and listened as the blade was about to fall.

End Flashback

The executioner paused as a distant roar was heard and Misaki's heart jolted for a second in surprise. Everyone paused for a moment before they turned their attentions back to Misaki.

"Ignore it!" the captain yelled "Get back to your job!"

The executioner turned his head back down towards Misaki and his arms straightened out again raising the halberd high above his head. But this time the loud roar was heard again and the ground shook suddenly tilting her view so she could see that something enormous had landed on the tower in front of her. Her eyes widened as she looked up to see the scaly snout of a lizard-like animal.

"Dragon" she breathed out in awe. The executioner behind her had fallen to the ground his halberd lying near Misaki's foot. Before she could so much as move she heard the dragon say something from an ancient language before roaring out fire onto the homes behind her. People began to scream and run in every direction.

Misaki knew that if she didn't take this chance she wouldn't make it out alive. She crouched onto the balls of her feet and quickly cut the rope that was binding her hands together on the halberd. She stood up and took a quick look around and noticed that at the tower across the empty area where they had stood was another tower from which the blonde man stood gesturing to her to join him. She glanced around noting that none of the archers were at their posts, all choosing to save their lives had run away. She took a deep breath of the now smoke filled air after the consecutive fire blasts from the dragon before taking off running to the tower.

She arrived within a few moments and entered the tower while taking large gulps of air to try and clear her lungs. Her breaths were punctuated with short bouts of coughs. Behind her she heard the blonde man slap the door shut and he came to stand beside her, slapping her back to help her clear her throat.

When she was able to breathe without coughing she stood up and noted the other person in the room, it was Ulfric Stormcloak.

Suddenly the tower shook and there was a roar from right outside the tower. Misaki looked up to the top of the first staircase to see fire seeping through and the stone crumbling away to reveal the snout of the large dragon she had seen before. It roared fire in once more before taking off looking for other targets. The blonde man began to run forward and beckoned for Misaki to follow him. The trio reached the hole in the tower and looked down to see a house beside it. There was a hole in the roof, through which Ulfric and then the blonde man jumped through.

Misaki was about to follow after them when a roar made her look up and jump aside in time to avoid the breath of fire that shot into the tower. It continued for a few seconds before the dragon once again turned away to circle the town. Misaki took this as her chance to lean out and jump into the house.

She landed heavily onto the floor boards and before she could gain her bearings fell through the now charred floor onto the main level. She landed painfully on her side feeling a splinter claw into her left calf. She moaned and pushed herself up. She sat up and examined her now bleeding leg. She ripped out a piece of cloth from her rough trousers and yanked the splinter out before wrapping it around the wound. Strangely the wound was already starting to heal and her health was going back to normal. Before moving again she accessed her health bar noting the health increasing slowly and sighed in relief.

Misaki stood up and ran to the front of the house where the door was supposed to be and saw a young child being picked up by his father as they ran outside the city to find safety. The man with the clip board was covering for them with his sword and shield out.

He turned to see her and called out "Follow me lass, I'll lead you to safety." Misaki ran after the man as he moved forward. She lost her sense of direction as they ducked around burnt houses and hid under porches to avoid the dragon. The two of them reached a courtyard leading to a longhouse. The building looked like it could have been the main centre of the city, maybe for a mayor or something. At the courtyard the man with the clip board ran ahead and she noticed him snarling at the blond man.

"Ralof you snivelling Stormcloak!" he growled out before running into one of the two doors of the large building.

"Follow me lass!" Ralof called heading into the other door. At this point a mission notification showed up on Misaki's screen letting her know of the choice she could make. She could either follow Ralof or the man with the clipboard. She took a deep breath before stepping in behind Ralof.

She stepped up to the door and it opened and a black loading screen appeared. As it disappeared she found herself looking into a small circular room. In front of her was Ralof walking towards the table at the end of the room. There was the body of a dead Stormcloak soldier and as she neared him, she noted a pained expression on Ralof's face.

"Ahh he was a good man…" He turned to look at her for a moment before turning to gesture at the dead body. "Now that he's gone, his armour will do him no good. I suggest you take it and make use of it. That potato sack will do no good in defending you against the Imperial's attack.

Misaki bent down and scanned the man's inventory and took out the Stormcloak cuirass, rough leather boots, a steel war-axe, and an iron dagger. She placed her own rough spun trousers, tunic and rough boots back into his inventory. When she stood up again she had equipped all the armour on herself. She felt the heavy but sturdy weight of the armour on her body and unsheathed the axe from her waist and took a few swings to adjust to it. As a Redguard, her one-handed skill started out higher so she felt very comfortable with the weapon in her hand and was able to swing it quickly in slashes in the air. She also pulled out the dagger and adjusted her grip on it in her left hand such that the blade was angled to the outer part of her hand rather than the inner side.

"This door is locked" Ralof called to her and she sheathed her weapons before turning to look at him. "Let me try the other side" he said as he crossed the room to the iron door with bars across it. To his dismay this one was closed as well.

Before they could do anything though, they heard voices coming from the door they were standing at. Ralof gestured for her to crouch down on the other side of the door to catch whoever was coming from the other side.

The voices got louder and Misaki recognized the voice of the female captain who was earlier commandeering the execution.

"Get that door open!" she yelled at the soldiers ahead of her. As the door opened Misaki took a deep breath before pouncing on to the attack. She swung her battle axe in swift diagonal arcs and a few side swipes. Thankfully the armour she was wearing kept her somewhat protected her since she hadn't gotten used to movement with the armour on.

The Captain fell at her feet and Misaki breathed in deeply, panting slightly at the exertion. It seemed she would have to upgrade her stamina eventually so she could wield the swords better.

She looked up to see Ralof fighting the other two soldiers and she rushed forward to help him. As he took down one, she slashed down on the other from behind, crippling him due to his already low health.

"Grab the key lass, let's get out of here and find the others."

Misaki nodded and turned to search the Captain. She found the keys but decided to also take the armour. It was heavier but would be able to handle hits better till she became stronger. She also snagged a the steel swords and dropped the battle axe. From the other two soldiers she grabbed a simple long bow and a quiver of arrows. These she slung across her back.

Once she was ready she headed to Ralof who was waiting at the other end of the room gesturing to the closed door. Misaki used the key and it slid open smoothly.

"Alright, let's go and find the others" Ralof said while leading the way down the hallway. Ahead there was a right turn and at the junction there was a door. Just as she and Ralof were about to take a step into the hallway ahead there was the loud roar of the dragon and the ground began to shake and crumble.

"Get back lass!" Ralof yelled. Just in time too as huge pieces of the structure fall down. Misaki looked up to see a huge piece of the ceiling fall towards her. She caught a glimpse of gaping jaws through the cracks breathing out more fire.

She stumbled backwards hoping beyond hope that she made it. Her vision clouded as she tripped and began to fall slowly backwards.

Hahah don't you just love cliff hangers? I sure do :p
