There it was, a head, a dragons head poking through the tower. There was yelling and shouting from us, the clouds growing darker around us. I ran down the steps, fear filled my heart as Ice shot from the demon's mouth, 3 of the bandits falling over dead. 

"What in oblivion do we do?!" There was panic in his voice, not coming from very far behind me

"E-Everyone grab a bow!" Askar yelled out, trying to keep courage with him.

"Dammit man a bow would do nothing!" The Nord woman yelled, her name had still aluded me

"What would you know about fighting a dragon!" Ask yelled at her

Her voice grew silent, she shook her head and stopped in her place. She took a step back towards the dragon, the beasts maw opening  and crushing around her, its large teeth digging into her skin. Her face remained calm, in her final seconds managing to throw something at me, a worn leather book. She spoke quickly blood pouring from her mouth. It was shaky but understandable.

"The...One....Cyrodil...You....Drakyn...Hope...Vengeance" her last words as her body was torn apart, I ran, my mind racing with thoughts about what she meants I couldn't think about it, not now at least. I ran as fast I could out of the building

Behind us the dragon broke his head free from the building, the towers collapsing behind us as he began to fly closer.

It was just the three of us, Asker and I took a lead, the other bandit trailing behind being taken by the wisp. Askar and I were done for, two wispmother stood in front of us, a dragon behind. The dragon let out a blood curdling roar, Ask and I dove to the ground as an icy fire shot from the dragons mouth. It narrowly missed us, instead hitting the two wispmothers, there bodies disolving into dust.

Askar and I jumped up quickly, running as fast as we could. We couldn't outrun the dragon but we could hide from it. I ran under a small ledge, ducking beneath it. Askar came towards me and tripped. He fell to the ground, fear filled his eyes as the dragon swooped down, grabbing him in his claws and flying away.
