My Little Skyrim- The Rise of the Empire

I woke up to Hadvar shaking me violently. "You have to wake up now, the Nightclocks are coming"

"Ok fine I'm up" I get up to try and locate some armor and something to protect myself with,

"Look on that rack over there their should be a sword on it so you can fight. You know how to fight don't you?" asked Hadvar

"I do what kind of person do you think I am if I didn't know how to fight." I snapped at Hadvar. I didn't mean to

snap at him I am just really stressed out with the dragon and almost being executed.

We made owner way through the underground passage until we made it outside. Just as we thought it was clear, the same dragon

that attacked Helgen right before my head got real acquainted with that axe. we ducked behind some rocks and waited for the beasts to

pass us.

"It looks like its headed towards Whiterun. You have to go and warn the Jarl of the dragons and what happened here at Helgen

I would go with you but I have to return to Solitude to report to my commander. If your ever around town you should stop by the office

we could use skills like yours in the Empire's army" said Hadvar

"Ill look into it, working for any military faction isn't really my style." I said. You see before I was arrested i was a

thief for hire. Basically people would hire me to steal anything and everything, I would take any request that paid enough money. No

task was to tough for me and the best part was that I got all of the profit, I worked for me and only me. An army setting is and was

never for me, I'm not the kind of guy to take orders never was.

When I was a kid my parents died when a band of raiders came to our farm, they killed them in cold blood when they didn't

give up our family's greatest treasure, a map that locates one of the worlds greatest treasure, The Elder Scroll. My parents were able

to hide it away before they were killed, until I am able to get back home and retrieve it. Legend foretells of three scrolls that are

located all over the world, each having their own prophecy that traits to ancient creatures.

After my parents deaths I was forced to live on the streets in a near by town, I had to steal and beg to get what I wanted.

Eventually I got so good at it that I just started doing it for other people for payment. Politicians, guards and even temple keepers

everyone was wanting my services and I never turned anyone away as long as they had the bits to pay for it. Everything was going fine

until they walked into my life, they were solders for the Nightclock army, they asked me to steal some metal materials from a near by

Imperial camp. I almost got away until that stupid food thief ran into me and got us both busted my the guards.

I left Hadvar in a near by town with family and they pointed me in the direction of Whiterun. It took me a long time until I

finally arrived at Whiterun, I was near the south watch tower when the guards came running towards me. They told me to turn back now

while I still had the chance. I looked at the tower, it was completely destroyed and the flags looked like they have bin burned. Burned,

burned, BURNED, oh shit another dragon.

Just as that thought came rushing into my mind a dragon came and snatched up one of the guards making him drop his bow and

quiver.  I quickly grabbed the bow and arrows, ready to shout that fucker out of the sky. The dragon swooped down and  missed me,

I rolled out of the way and hit the dragon in the stomach with a single arrow. The beast came around and landed back down on the

ground near me. I drew my sword ready to fight that reached thing, and with just a few swings I had that fucker within a inch of its

life. I trusted my sword into that fuckers neck and a mountain of blood came flowing out of its wound. I started to walk away when I

heard the sounds of something burning, I turned around and the dragons corpse started to burn away. Then a streams of light started to swirl around me.

"I cant believe it." I heard a guard said from behind me. "Your dragonborn."

"Dragonborn? What the hell is that?" I asked.

"When you killed that dragon you absorbed that dragons soul, its soul became part of yours and that makes you Dragonborn. I don't know much about being Dragonborn, the books don't mention anything about Dragonborns, they were believed to be wiped off the face of this world, well until now." explained the guard. "Our Jarl might be able to explain more about Dragonborns and what you can do with your new powers."

I followed the guards through the city and up the place were their Jarl lives called Dragonsresearch. When I entered there was

two big tables with a pit of fire in the center, and on the far end of the entrance room sat Jarl Applejack the Great. I bow to them in

respect even though I never normally do that, just to show that I wont be arrested again or killed for not showing respect, in this world

you can't truly be shore what side of the war the Jarls are fighting for. With the empire to not show respect to the Jarls that support

is like asking for a death wish, where with the Nightclock rebellion they treat Jarls just like regular people but with a little more

perks. She motioned me to stand and asked what I am doing here. I explained to her what happened in Helgen and about the damaged tower. I then tolled her about how I slayed the dragon and became what the guards call a dragonborn. Just as I was about to finish my story a large

horn like sound sounded almost shaking the entire world.

"I see" she said as she was putting down the mead that she and I were drinking. "so it seams that you really have became a dragonborn.

That sound was the Greybeards summoning you to High Hrothgar located on the highest mountain in all the land, the Throat of the World."

"I don't know if I'm going to go I might just let this whole dragonborn thing get far behind he. I really just want to get back

to how things use to be in my old cit." I said as I was taking the last sip of my drink.

"There is no refusing the Greybeards calling, they will continue to pester you and pester you until you finally decide to meet them.

I envy you friend, I made the pilgrimage up the seven thousand steps once when I was in my younger days." said Jarl Applejack.

"Great so what your saying is that my life will never be able to go back to normal, wonderful." I said with a heart filled sigh

" I'll tell you this friend, for all that you have done for my city I will bestow onto you the greatest title I can." she said.

She motioned me to kneel down and draws her sword. She taps one of my shoulders with her sword and then taps my other while saying." I bestow onto you the title of Thane. I will let the guards know of your newly found title and as some added gifts I will give you a shield and axe from my personal armory along with a new home for you here in the city for you to store your treasures and rest your head."

"Thank you Jarl Applejack the Great, I accept these gifts in the name of my family." I said rising and grabbing my gifts.

I headed to my new home in the center of town, it was small but it fit perfectly for someone with my lifestyle. Well I think

that I cant really say that my old lifestyle is what I still live now that I'm what they keep calling a dragonborn. I rest my head

on my new bed and try to think about what I'm going to do about this mess that I've gotten myself into. After a while my eyes close and i

drift off to sleep.
