Later I arrivd in the frigid area surrounded or trapped by mountains of snow. Just where I needed to be. I jogged to the little sink in place where stormcloaks covered and patrolled.

" Syndia! Over here!" Rikke whispered. I looked foward to see her men and Rikke hidden behind a rock. Pussy cats. I rolled my eyes, and jumped down in the sink area and alerted the  guards. I started slashing them with my enormous ebony battle axe Wuthurad. Then arrows started flying from the sky. Obviously Rikke stopped being a baby and her men came out to fight. Rikke hopped down and killed a enemy about to backstab me. I shouted a thanks over the  loud noises of the clanging weapons and magic going around. he sky darmened and we finished off the bastards. Rikke stopped at the entrance of the door and faced me and the 8 men with us. She started to give us a long lecture and everyone sighed annoyed with  a loud noise. She rolled her eyes and we wandered in the place. We entered our first room to see a minature chest and a door way leading to some guards. I snooped through the chest and searched fr anything worth money. We entered the next room and before Rikke could do any instructions, I shot a gas tank that hung fro the roof and it fell down on top of to guards burning them. Rikke patted my back, and said,

" Good work solidier." She walked off with the crew following behind her. I followed but I was last in the group. We aproached a room with a humungous guard in the center watching as the other stormcloaks looted the place.

 " Charge in three, two, one. GO!" Rikke souted. Everyone charged at them except me. I just stared at the stupidity of them. Half of the crew already died! I facepalmed myself and pulled out my bow and arrows. I high jumped onto a mmount of broken rock and surplus. I shot the guards that were on the second level and then pulled out Wuthurad. I joined the kill on the giant guy andRikke slayed him by forcing her weapon through his skull. His lifeless body collapsed to the floor and blood spilled.

" Alright everyone. There should be a lever around here to open up this gate. GO LOOK FOR IT!" She shouted scaring thesoul out of me. I sighed and started upstairs where burial urns scattered everywhere. I swished them around and found nothing but garnets behind them. There was three rooms u here also. I went through on of them and an arrow shot me in the foot. I hissed and fell down. Blood slowly oured out of my foot as I winced and in pain. I pulled it out and held back the screams that yearned to be free. I got up and limped my way to a chest. Behind that chest was.. A LEVER! I  pulled it happily and limped as fast asI could downstairs.

'' Good work solidier!" Legate exclaimed with happiness in hervoice. It led us to an area where draugrs took over, and held the Ebony claw used to get in the gate. I was pushed to the floor by my teamates and they slayed the draugr. I grumbled my painand an very nice solier helped me up.

" Thanks" I smiled.

" Ok, we nee-"

" I can do that I cut Rikke off.

" Oh really? You know the code on the gate? show me." She challenged.

" Challenge acepted.....boss." I said smirking.

 I grabbed the ebony claw and looked at the back. IIt always told the code to open a gate. It was: Dragon, butterfly, bear.

 I turned the little handles on the door in the order of te code, and placed the claw in the hole where it went. I twisted the ebony claw and the gate opened.

" Rikke..." I said turning around.

 Imperials smirked at her defeat. She huffed and cotinued to move on. We came upon some obsidian doors and opened them, only to see th jagged crown on a what I thought dead draugr overlord. I raced over to it and before I layed my hands on it, I was grabbed by my wrists and pinned to the wall by the throoat as the giant hands closed my airway.

Everyone was about to atack when Rikke ordered," No one move! She'll handle this herself."  Everyone felt sympathy for me but I didn't care at the moment. My vision became blurry as the team retreated into the hallway watching me.

" She'll die!" They protested.

I could here the arguing but then I had the strength to punch to draugr straight in the jaw. Hisb gripped loosened resulting in me falling face first on the mossy stone. I picked my self up and leaned against the dragon stone that was abouut to give me a spell. I was going to pull out Wuthurad when I realised it was at Rikke's feet.

" Show your strength!!!" She shouted.

" That bitch." I whispered to myself before being alerted of the ginomous sword being swung at me. I dodged it almost twisting the ingured foot only building up more pain. I spotted an sword behind his cahir and limped as fast as I could to it. I grabbed it dodging another swing. I was grabbed my my legs this time hung upside down seeing the guy walk away. I thanked him quietly only to see him cahrge at me again. I imediatly looked at the sell writen on the dragon stone. My eyes turned blue as I absorbed the power, and I can see the draugr charging faster. I finally got the power and shouted my fire breath spll at the draugr.I cut the line using my dagger and fell landing on the floor. I quickly got my sword and before the draugr got up, I jammed my sword in his forehead. His eyes made a bright shade of blue before his death took him. Rikke, and the team came in and I charged at Rikke almost slamming my fist in my face before she said,

" No no no. I am you boss."

" If you weren't my boss, I would cut your throat for this." I said through gritted teeth. She chuckled and said" I have to test my solidiers."

 With that, she took the Jagged crown and instructed the crew to go outside by the secret exit.

" Syndia, I want you to search the place for any other valuable resources and or stromcloaks. I know them to well." She said darkly at the end. She walked out leaving me there.alone. I picked my up my strength and started to examine my cuts and bruises and my foot as I walked bakwards into the lace.

Crack

I looked up to see nothing.

Screech

nothing again.

Stomp stomp stomp

The footsteps got closer and louder..... shit. I was about  to pull out Wuthurad when I was jumped from behind. I winced in pain and my foot became swollen. I felt my sacred neclace of my family and Onmund fall off and be slid across the ground. Some guy definetly was pinning me but I couldn't see his armor nor face. I kicked him off sending away fro me and scuring to get my neclace. I jammed it in my pocket and was tripped from below. I got up and limped to a light to only be pushed down again. I grabbed my enemys foot and pushed it backwards making him slip and me punching him straight in the jaw. I got up and was sidekicked in the cheek. I backed up against a wall welly lit  and covered the gushing scar on my cheek.

" You wanna play dirty bitch..." I can see him come closer as I mumbled, " I'll play too." I charged at him sending him into the mossy wall cracking it a bit.  He groaned louding and I puched in the stomach. He fell and I picked him back up sending into a open chest. He fell in but I couldn't close it because he punched me in the frehead hard. I fell and he got up and limped over to me ting me to a wall with something I- MY NECLACE!!!!! He kneeled in font of my revealing a face from a while ago that  can't recall.

" Sy-" I kicked him in the jaw before he spoke. I untied myself and grabbed him by the collar of his armor and slammed his bruised body against the wall. I had a bloody lip, scared cheek, bruised knee, bruised forehead, and most liekely broken left foot. He was worse. He had a black eye, bruised cheek, scratched up arms, bloodgushing stomach, and the other cheek was scared.

" WHO THE HE-......" My quick angry breaths slowed down into calm relieved and happy breaths. This cannot be him. This is not him, he's not wearing the same armor wait-... when the hell did I pay attention to what people where? "When he saved you from helgan."  My concious teased. I set him down and he sighed in relief.

" Thank gooood- that's over." He groaned.

" Why  did you do that to me?" I asked falling to the ground.

" How am I supposed toknow it's you?" He questioned.
