You had just barely escaped a cave full of Draugr except you we're badly injured. Whilst battling one of the ancient nords, It plunged a dagger into your waist leaving you bleeding out. You we're in the middle of nowhere, the closeted inn being miles away. Snow was crashing down all around you which did not help your current situation. Another problem was that it was night time meaning all types of creatures would be looking for food and with your current state, you we're a perfect meal.

You held your waist tightly as you started walking through the thick snow. After a while your fingers started to go num and your legs started to buckle. You quickly maid it under a tree and gathered some sticks to make a small fire in an attempt to warm your cold figure. You used your voice to light the fire and when it was burning perfectly you decided to check your wound.

You slowly and carefully removed your armor and set it down beside you. Your armor was damaged badly and probably unfixable Blood was still pouring out, you tried to stop it but it was no use. It needed stitching up which was something you couldnt do. You started cleaning the wound when some green slimy liquid came out. The Draugr had doused its blade in a poison that damages my magika and stamina and continues to deplete it so it wont regenerate, it would continue doing so until cured. Which means you cant use any spells to keep your health up until you reach a town or city.

To put it in simple terms, you we're fucked. You picked up your damaged armor and tried to put it back on but failed doing so. You threw it to one side and in rage kicked the fire scattering embers everywhere.
"Nothing else could possibly make this worse"

Just as you yeld out, the sound of wolves howling echoed in the distance growing closer and closer by each passing second. You grabbed your sword and attempted to grab your bag but it had become to painful and heavy to carry. You could now see the wolves heading towards you. You ran the opposite direction through the woods, holding your side as you went along. The poison had already destroyed your stamina meaning you couldnt keep going for much longer.

When you reached a clearing, it was then that you collapsed into the freezing cold snow, blood oozing out through your grip. Without armor on your body became cold very quickly, with no strength left you simply laid in the snow unable to hold your side any longer. You let go, allowing the red liquid to stain the white snow around you.

You started wondering what would come first...
The blood lose, The cold or The wolves.
While contemplating how your life would end you hurd aloud roar as a large shadow flew over you.

You battled for consciousness as a large black scaled dragon landed near you. As wolves charged towards you, the dragon caught the closet one towards you and ripped it apart, blood scattering everywhere. The rest of the pack abounded the hunt and retreated at the sight of their dismembered leader. Your eye lids grew heavier as you tried to keep them open. The dragon had turned its focus on to you and started to make its way towards you. However, the last thing you saw was not a dragon but a man before your body had finally given up and you we're sent into a deep, deep sleep.
