The Daughter of Evergloam (CH 5.)

  • [ Enter Lòng de Yuèliàng, the dragon of the moon and last dragonborn. ] "Ugh, what in Oblivion happened?" A female voice asked as she stirred from sleep. A male's voice spoke up as her vis cleared and she could make out the face of a blond, blue eyed nord male who the voice belonged to. " You there, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border during that imperial ambush. Same as that thief over there." Another male's voice as she looked to the side and heard. " Damn you stormcloaksm the empire was nice and lazy til you came along, if it hadn't been for you I could have stolen that horse and been half way to Hammerfell." The blond male responded with. "We're all brothers and sisters in binds now horse thief." The carriage driver yelling back at them "Shut up back there." Lòng gazed at the imperial with a hatred that would have meant death if her hands hadn't been tied, she suddenly began to remember the events leading to her current situation. She had been trying to escape into Cyrodil when she was dragged into the frey, the imperials had thought her to be with the stormcloaks simply for just being present during the attack. She had been knocked out by one of them weilding a mace. "Lucky shot." She muttered, tuning out the conversation taking place. She had been stripped of all her gear and put in rags, guessing they saw her as more a threat than the stormcloaks. Well in a way she took it as a complement, she was after all of Akaviri decent, one of the last akaviri clans in Tamriel. Yuéliàng was one of only two she knew of. Not long after she was pulled from her thoughts by a man calling out " General Tulias, the imperial headsman is waiting." "Good, let's get this over with replied another male. " The carriage soon stopped and unloaded, the small, slender frame of Lòng stepping jumping off the cart. Her deep black hair falling in her face before she flipped it from her view. "Bastards." She murmered, golden eyes peering in disdain at everyone wearing imperial garb. "She watched as they began calling people to the block, a single booming roar in the distance as she was called, something about the roar triggered a hunger to fight upon hearing the roar. She was ready to accept death on false assumptions as she was pushed to lay her head to the chopping block when another booming roar echoed and the form of a large black scaled dragon emerged from over the mountainside. A wild smirk crossed the young akaviri's face, somehow she knew today was not her day. The dragon landing on the tower and unleashing an ear piercing roar, she swore she heard it speak, not just roar as flaming rock began falling from the sky. "Foreigner, get up, the gods won't give us another chance." Came the familiar voice of the blond nord now known to be Ralof due to the empire keeping lists. {Back in Riverwood.} Lexia was just finishing a plate pf seared slaughterfish, grilled leeks and another mug of wine as she heard one of the locals enter the inn exclaiming that Helgen had just been attacked and the prisoners escaped. " Never a dull moment." She uttered. The local was a wood elf. Lexia called to him by race due to lack of name." You, elf, come here." "My name is Faendal, Breton. " Faendal retaliated is a venomous sting to his voice. "Whatever, Bretons may be immune to magic but they aren't psychic, now what's this about Helgen be attacked?" Faendal approachong Lexia as she turned on her stool to face him. "Well, all I heard so far is a dragon attacked and burned it to the ground. Hasn't been a dragon seen in Skyrim in centuries. " Lexia pondering to herself. "Then I'm not going mad." Faendal continued explaining. " It just flew over Riverwood just a minute ago. Big as the inn and black as night. And according to a couple who just arrived they among a fee other survivers managed to escape. All I know, but maybe they can tell you more. They were at the mill." Lexia turning to face Orgnar. and paying him for the food. " Guess there's more going on here, you'll forgive me if I cut our conversation but I just came from Helgen not but a couple of hours ago so I should find out what happened."
