Okay here's Steven's mood for this chapter ^
Steven's POV
How did i end up here? I was hungry and stealing bread is a big enough crime to get my own cell with a Dark elf who's gone insane telling me that I'm going to die. Well this is fan- fucking - tastic! "Lock the door behind you." "Yes sire!" "My sons they're dead aren't they?" The emperor himself... "We don't know that sire the messenger just said that they were attacked." "No they're dead I can feel it." "Nevermind that right now my job is to get you to safety." They stopped right in front of my cell. "What's this prisoner doing in here this cell is supposed to be off limits?!" The older soldier with the emperor turned as white as a ghost. "Usual mix up with the Watch I...." "Nevermind get that hate opened. Stand back prisoner we won't hesitate to kill you if you get in our way!"

(It needs no introduction..... WHEN YOU KNOCK ME DOWN.... I'll stop)
I did as the ghost guard told me, knowing that it could possibly lead to my freedom. "You, I've seen you." Great the emperor is insane. "Let me see your face..... You are the one from my dreams. Then the stars we right and today.... Gods give me strength." "What?" "Asassins attacked my sons and I'm next. My Blades are leading me out of the city through a hidden escape route that by chance the entrance is in your cell." I smirked. "Please sire we must keep moving." His head Blade told him. "Better not close this one there's no way to open it on the other side." The baby faced  Blade looked me in the eyes before stating "Looks like today's your lucky day just stay out of our way." We all made our way through the majority of the passage when through out the way assassins attacked and killed the Captain and now we have hit a dead end. The last two Blades have realized that it seems. "Assassins! They followed us!" "Stay here and guard the Emperor with your life." The baby faced Blade ordered me. "FOR THE EMPEROR!!!" They both shouted in unison as they fought the assassins.  The Emperor grabbed my shoulder as I turned towards him. He handed me the Amulet of Kings."I can go no farther you must take the Amulet to Jauffre. He alone knows where to find my last son. Find him and close shut the jaws of Oblivion." After that I was splattered with his blood as he fell dead to the ground. "Stranger, you choses a bad day to take arms with the Septims." I grabbed my newly acquired father and slit the assassin's throat. As soon as I did Baby face ran in he got pale. "We failed." That was all he could say. I turned and looked out to see ghost Blade on the ground dead. "We're all that's left..." "THE AMULET! It's not on the Emperor's body!" I pulled the Amulet of Kings out of my pocket. "I am to take it to Jauffre. It seems there was a scandal in the palace itself." "Jauffre.... He lives at Weynon Priory go there immediately here's a key." He handed me a key. "By the way name's Barrus." "Steven, Steven Cantrell." "Well Steven by the way you fight you must be a warrior am I right?" I nodded. "There's a few goblins and rats down there but I'm sure you can handle it. I smiled. "Till we meet again Barrus!" "Take care Steven." Now I just need to get out of these sewers!
???'s POV
I was sleeping in my bed when I smelled smoke. I rose quickly and ran upstairs to see Dadera in the city. No not again I will not fall down that path. I must save the people.
Steven's POV
I stepped out into the bright morning sun inhaling the sweet sweet fresh air.
Now to Jauffre!
TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY SAVE THE TURTIES 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
I am South of Chorrol near Skingrad when I saw smoke rising towards Kvatch. I shrugged and rode on. "Pardon me, (are you Aaron Burr Sir? I'll stop) but can you tell  me where Weynon Priory is?" I asked a guard on the road. "Keep heading this way for another day and you'll hit it first thing tomorrow." "Okay thanks!" I rode on until nightfall when I started a fire but it was weird like once the flame started I felt a connection to it. I cooked what little food I had and put out the fire feeling a little less protected. I just shoved it off as exhaustion and slept under a tree.
I woke up this morning and set off immediately and sure enough I reached Weynon Priory before noon. "Well here I am and there's no stopping now." I entered the main house when I was stopped. "Yes what do you want?" "I have come to see Jauffre." I stated rather blandly. "He's upstairs." The guy moved and I went up stairs to see an old fart at a desk reading. "I'm Brother Jauffre what do you want?" "I have a message from the late emperor." "What? What do you know about the Emperor's assassination?!" I pulled out the Amulet of Kings and replied "Enough to be told to bring this to you and to find his last son." "That's (skip to 7:05)

You must head to Kvatch and seek out a priest named Martin. That is the Emperor's last son." I nodded. "Be careful with the emperor dead the Aspects can roam free." The what now? "You are confused I can see that. The Aspects are a tribe of the strongest immortals known to man they know more than everyone else... or  so they claim. I was friends with the young Princess Ruleta but I heard she married a noble from Skyrim and had 3 kids and is Queen now. Oh how times change." I simply nodded and went down stairs.
Prior Mablel told me I could have his horse. I was almost to Kavatch when I saw someone falling from the sky. The person muttered under their breath,"This isn't Skyrim." Who the hell is that?!
