Ayo! So bad news...School is starting so that means slow updates, so every other Wednesday I will try to update.

(I think I have the best locker number)

Karliah set the Dragonstone on Farengar's desk while he was talking to a woman in a hood with leather armor. The mage thanked her and continued talking with his guest, before Irileth  ran in.

"Farengar! You need to come at once. A dragon's been sighted nearby," Ferengar quickly walked out before the Dark Elf turned to her," You should come too."

Karliah followed the Elf up the stairs that led to the War Room. Jarl Balgruuf was talking with another guard when she arived.

"So, Irileth tells me you came from the Western Watchtower?"

The guard nodded,"Yes, my Lord."

"Tell them what you told me."

"Uh... That's right, we saw it coming from the south. It was fast... Faster than anything I've ever seen."

"What did it do?" Karliah chimed in.

"It, uh, it was just circling overhead when I left. I never ran so fast in my life," he trailed off,"I thought is would come after me for sure." 

"Good work, son. We'll take it from here. Head down to the barracks for some food and rest. You've earned it."

The gaurd began to walk off.

"Irileth, you'd better gather the gaurdsmen and get down there."

"I've already ordered my men to muster near the main gate."

"Good. Don't fail me."

He tuned to Karliah,"I need your help -"

"Yeah yeah, I'll go fight the dragon, Your Highness," She interrupted with heavy sarcasm.

Karliah stomped down the stairs and into the large main room. She pushed open the large doors that led outside.

She found herself sitting on a large rock waiting for the guards. The watch tower was still standing but chunks of stone was missing, pieces of stone that was already on the ground was on fire.

Loud footsteps had her looking down the road that led to Whiterun. Irileth was only with five guards.

This will be fun.

She jumped off the rock, she made her way to the doorway and climbed up the spiral stairs. The top gave a good view of the land, her gaze stopped on the mountain range that lay far beyond Whiterun Hold, something was flying in large circles, by the looks of the big body and the two flapping wings it was a dragon.

A roar came from behind.

She turned around, A dragon was flying over Bleakfalls Barrow, he stopped flying in its route and began to fly at the watchtower, he grew closer and Karliah tightened her grip on the Ebony Bow when she realized he was heading right for her.

The arrow flew into the dragon's head as he flew in front of her. He took a hard left, he fell into the ground and picked himself up as the guards slashed at him. Karliah was at the top of the watchtower shooting arrows at his neck and head.

The dragon picked up a guard in his mouth and shook him, the dragon let him go and the guard flew into the watchtower.
He took off and cast fire at Karliah, which didn't harm her because of the Daedric Armor she(literally) snapped on.

The dragon landed next to the tower again and Karliah thought out an idea.

She ran down to the room underneath her, she stared out of the gaping hole in the side, she took in a deep breath and jumped out.
