       It happened so fast. I am sitting in a carriage with three other people, all of which are Nords. One is wearing fine clothes. The second one is blonde and dons blue leather armor. The last one has rags on, just like me.
       I miss Valenwood. The beautiful trees. The game. I'm in Skyrim now. I decided to come here because I wanted to visit my brother, Faendal. He lives in Riverwood, a tiny town in Whiterun hold. My mother died when I was 14, so my dad and I were really close.
       The blonde man looked at me and said "Hey,you. You're finally awake" I didn't say anything. "You were trying to cross the border right? Walked straight into that Imperial ambush, same as us. And that thief over there." He nodded towards the Nord in the rags. "Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. The Empire was nice and lazy." said the ragged Nord, who was furious. Stormcloaks? Who are they? "If they hadn't been looking for you, I could have stolen that horse and been half way to Hammerfell."
  "You there" Rags said. He was looking straight at me. "We shouldn't be here. It's these damned Stormcloaks the Empire wants." "We're all brothers and sisters in binds now thief." The soldier driving the cart tells us to be quiet. Well, them to be quiet. I haven't spoken a word.
       "What's wrong with him?" Rags said. He seemed to be talking about the man with the fine clothes. "WATCH YOUR TONGUE!" Blondie yelled. "You're speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King." So the "Stormcloaks" Rags spoke of is him. I think at least. I am not very caught up on Skyrim's current events. "Ulfric--" Rags said. "Jarl of Windhelm. You're the leader of the rebellion. But if they captured you... oh Gods, where are they taking us?" Rebellion? I heard of a small rebellion a few years ago that originated in Skyrim, but is this the same one? I agree with Rags, if a leader of a now HUGE rebellion is tied up in a carriage with other prisioners, what is going to happen to us?
       "I don't know where we're going, but Sovengard awaits." Blondie said. Sovengard is the Nord's version of heaven basically. "This isn't happening, this isn't happening!?" Rags said in a frantic voice.
       "What village are you from, horse thief?" Said Blondie to Rags. "What do you care?" Rags said. "A Nord's last thoughts, should be of home." "Rorikstead. I'm from Rorikstead." "General Tullius sir, the headsman is waiting" A faint voice said. A headsman? No. No no no no no no! I can't be executed. Please Mara, save me.
