The next day was a rainy day, June could hear the rain drops fall on the side of her tent. But that wasn't all she heard. She was awaken by a loud scream and the sounds of fighting. It took her a moment to realize what was going on but not long. She quickly jumped up grabbing her bow and running outside. She ran outside and saw the Stormcloak soldiers lying on the ground dead.
Once she looked up she had to quickly dodge an arrow that was flying right for her. She looked in the direction and saw that it was the Thalmor. They had found the camp and ambushed them while they were asleep. "Shit!" She quickly got to her feet and shot an arrow at the one who attacked her. The arrow hit him in the chest making him fall to the ground but once he fell three more came charging right for her.
But it wasn't just the Thalmor that was attacking, no, there were others there. Others that June did not recognize. They wore masks and strange robes, they were summoning monsters that looked like they came from the very debts of oblivion. June looked around her quickly and only saw the bodies of the Stormcloaks lay around her, she didn't see her friends anywhere. Before she could even think of what to do the Thalmor had her trapped. Several of them surrounded her. She quickly took out her sword and held it out in front of her, she didn't know how long she would last against all them but she knew she wasn't going to go down with out a fight.
Before they could charge her Vilkas and Farkas came charging in taking down a few of them. "Come on this way!" June heard a man yell. She quickly looked and than froze. It was Gromar her father, she couldn't believe it but this was no time to think. Without hesitating she quickly took off and ran right by him with Vilkas and Farkas right behind her. "Come on hurry!" Seradia yelled. June saw that Seradia and Ginji were a head of them. Once they caught up to them they ran right beside them.
They had no choice but to run into the tree's hoping that they would loose them in the forests but it seemed to only make it more difficult to run. The deeper they ran into the forest the more difficult it as for them to keep themselves from tripping over roots and bushes. The cold wind was burning June's lungs, her legs started ache and were begging for her to stop but they couldn't stop. Non of the Stormcloaks were alive and they could hear the footsteps of the army right behind them.
June could see a split opening in the distance through the trees. A feeling of relief started to grow in her as they got closer. Once they got out in the opening maybe they could take out one by one as they run out of the forest. That feeling of relief didn't last long, once they jumped out of the trees they were soon greeted by a huge cliff that seemed like if anyone fell off it, they wouldn't survive. They all had to come to a quick stop, the mud made it hard and it almost made June slip off the cliff but Vilkas quickly grabbed her stopping her.
She stood up straight and they all looked down the cliff. It was a long fall and at the bottom was rushing water. The hard rain made the water rise fast. "Dammit.." June breathed out. They quickly turned around about to make another run for it but the Thalmor and the strange enemies she saw before spilled from the forest and quickly surrounded them backing them up to the cliff. "Shit!" June looked at them all.
"What do we do?" Seradia asked. "There's too many of them." Farkas tightened his grip on his sword. "We have no choice!" Ginji yelled. "You're right!" They all heard a voice yell from the back of the giant army in front of them. They saw a woman through the army and to the front, she wasn't a Thalmor. She was one of the other strang ones, her voice had an accent. One that June never heard before. "Non of Tamriel has a choice now! The end is coming and it will be bloody!" She laughed. "Someone likes the sound of their own voice!" June yelled at her.
The woman sneered at her and than just laughed. "Bark all you like false one! I advice you pray to whatever gods you have now!" The woman yelled at her. "False one?" June furrowed her eyebrows down. "That's right! I call you false one because that is what you are! After today no more will your lies spread deciever!" The woman yelled and pointed at her. "Kill her! Kill her now!" She yelled again. Before they could act one of the others quickly summoned an ice spike and shot it out right for her.
June froze as she saw the frozen sphere heading right for her. "Look out!" Vilkas's voice echoed in her mind. Right before it hit her she quickly ducked falling to the ground. For a second it seemed like everything went quiet and the only noise she could hear was the spilling of blood and a cough. She sat up and slowly turned around and saw that ice spike hit Seradia instead. Seradia stood there not sure of what just happened, she slowly looked down and saw the spike was right through her. She slowly raised her hand underneath it and looked at it seeing a pool of blood dripped into her palm.
She slowly looked up at June as a stream of blood ran out of her mouth. In that moment, everything froze. "No." June whispered. Seradia felt her head become light and her strength quickly fade. She slowly fell backwards and for a moment she thought she was flying but no, she was falling. "No!" June yelled quickly jumping from the ground. She ran towards Seradia reaching out for her hand. Seradia watched her in blurry vision, she reached out but June was just too far away and she was too late.
Their fingers touched before she completely fell off the cliff. June fell to the ground right at the cliff. "Sera!" She yelled as she watched her friend fall to her death.
As Seradia fell she reached out her hand again towards June. Seradia's body slowly went numb as she watched June get farther and farther away. Her vision slowly went black and than she suddenly felt the freezing water hit her skin and the tide take her away.
June's bottom lip trembled as she slowly sat up. "No.." She started shake. Everybody was in shock. It felt like everything was standing still, Farkas stood there in disbelief, his jaw hanging low. They were all in shock and stared at the spot where she fell as if she was still there. "No." She said a bit louder as she slowly looked at her hands. Some of Seradia's blood on her hand had gotten on June's fingers when their fingers slightly touched but it was only a drip.
Her breathing became hard and her rage slowly rose inside her. She slowly turned around with her nose twitching in anger. She could feel her heart beat increase from the sudden blood flow in her veins. "No!" She screamed as loud as she could. She got up and grabbed her bow, everything went red as she quickly shot an arrow out hitting the woman right in the chest. Once the woman hit the ground the large army charged right for them. Arrow after arrow, one by one they went down. She would be damned if any of them survived.
"Ahhh!" Farkas yelled as he quickly pierced his sword through one of them and than slashed some more down joining in on June's rage killing. The others did not just sit back, they quickly charged at the army and fought as if they were beast's in human form. June didn't care if they lived or died, all she cared about was taking out as many of the bastards as she could. 'Sera..' Seradia's face flashed into June's mind, once it did so many memories of her came flooding. She felt tears running down her face as she kept shooting her arrows.
She quickly ran out of arrows but that didn't stop her, she quickly drew her blade and charged right into the middle of the army. One by one they felt her blade. June stabbed her blade into one of the Elves and than yanked his shield right from his hand. Another came charging at her but instead of blocking the blow with the shield she hit them with the shield and than cut their throat. She than threw the shield knocking a few of them off their feet, before they could get up Vilkas and Ginji killed them.
A Thalmor ran up right behind her swinging his sword but before it hit her Gromar quickly came and blocked it with his shield. He knocked the Elf back with his shield and than stabbed him. June and Gromar fought back to back taking out as many as they could. Ginji was faster than all of them, he was even using his claws to tear open their throats. Vilkas and Farkas were taking many out at once with their giant swings from their great swords.
Not only did they have the Thalmor to deal with they had the other strange one's as well. They had powerful magic and began to summon their creatures. But they were still no match for the raging team. Nothing was going to stop them, not till they were all did. Ginji took care of the monsters and the others took care of the casters. June was getting slashed all over, she even got hit by an arrow but she didn't let it stop her. Any control she might of had before was now lost. It was the same for the others, they didn't let anything stop them.
The battle was long and bloody, but finally June had just killed the last one. The ground below them was soaked in blood, a lot of it was probably theirs. Once the last one fell to his death it seemed like June's injuries and pain hit her all at once. She dropped her blade and fell to her hands and knees. She was breathing hard and each breath was painful. Every part of her hurt but they did it. And that's all that mattered to her.
She jumped a little as she heard a painful cough. She turned her head and saw that the woman was still alive. June sneered and quickly grabbed her blade getting back up. She slowly walked to the woman, the woman was holding onto the arrow and was clearly in pain. June kicked off her mask and behind it was a Dark Elf woman with black eyes. June put her foot on her throat and watched her struggle to breath. Vilkas slowly stood up and looked over, as did the others.
Instead of begging for her life like June thought she would she laughed. It was a painful laugh but it was still a laugh non the less. "It doesn't matter.." She choked out. "Soon, Lord Miraak will rise once again and claim his place!" The woman grabbed June's boot. "So enjoy your little victory while you can, it will be your last." A grin slowly formed on her face. June glared at her deeply and than broke her neck with her foot.
She slowly lifted her foot off the corpse and just stood there. Her blade slowly fell out of her hands. June felt numb and no more tears fell from her eyes. She slowly looked up at the sky, the only thing she could feel now was the cold rain across her face. The blood that covered them was soon washed away by the rain as was the blood on the ground. The rain ran it off the cliff and into the river making it's color change.
June quickly looked forward hearing shuffling. It was Farkas, he stumbled forward and onto a tree. He laid his forehead on it ignoring the rough bark against it. He felt a lump rise up in his throat and he could no longer hold back the tears. June clenched her jaw as she watched him. Vilkas walked over and put his hand on his brother's shoulder but Farkas just shoved it away. He stood up straight and walked away. 'Why did this happen..' June's heart than started to ache and her tears quickly returned. 'Who is Miraak?'
