 At that moment, time just... seemed to stop around me. It was so quiet that I could only hear the thoughts rushing through my head and my own frantic heartbeat as I turn back to the scene slowly, almost as if my body was resisting my brain so I didn't have to see the events unfolding in front of me, almost like a brutally slow play. My eyes trailed the body of the great beast that was my father as he was forced to the ground. I watched as, for the first time I've seen, fear coated his eyes as mortality was forced upon him.  His head turned and a sudden look of betrayal then great sorrow washed over his expression. I followed his gaze to a huge figure coated in dragon-bone armor, one whose story I heard him regale with great pride many a time before bed. It was the Dragonborn, looming atop a hill looking down as Bormah was swarmed by Imperials with an unsettling smirk resting on their lips. I was caught in such a shock that I couldn't break my stare until I heard a great roar of pain which caused me to immediately whip around to something  I soon regret seeing. Bormah, lying on his side and breathing broken breaths. He isn't dead yet. I can stop this! But, as soon I try to move, I can't. I'm caught in a stopped position as I was forced to watch as this bastard, one my father had helped get their damned victory, walk down almost giddily to the almost dead beast. They drew their sword and climbed atop father's head, causing another cry of agony mixed into the cheering from warriors. I did all I could do and let out a cry of nothing but pain and pleading as I soon felt chains wrapping around me. This did nothing but cause this utterly disgusting person turn to me and smile a sickening, almost perverse smile. They saw my pain and reveled in it as they made more of a show of raising their mighty sword and piercing it, slowly, into Bormah's skull. There was a loud, sickening crunch as their sword dug into his skull then a gross squish as they twisted it. He was dead. Dead. I didn't know what to do, so my body had a normal reaction. 

I vomited on the ground and passed out.
