An Unbroken Story

An Unlikely rescue

I hear somebody gasp. Too weak to open my eyes.I feel my body being picked up and I feel wind blow. My eyes flutter, but I see gold."N-no... I can't-t go to-o S-s-sovngarde..." I mutter.I pass out. When I awake, Rolaf is next to me, running his fingers through his hair."I shouldn't have called her a monster... She is probably dead now! Starved herself." I hear him say to another Stormcloak."Rolaf, it isn't your fault. You were shocked by her actions. That is normal. We can only pray she lives." he says."Rolaf, how is she?" I hear Ulfric.I can feel him check my pulse."Wait... SHE'S ALIVE! Athena?" He gets up. I try to open my eyes, but can't.He hugs me. He saw it..."By the gods!" I can hear Ulfric say.I try to say water, but nothing comes out."Rest..." I hear Rolaf say.I fall asleep again. When I awake, the room is bright.I mouth "water"."I need a quill, ink, and paper!" I hear Rolaf say.He gives me the stuff.I write water."Water? How parched are you?" he asks.I write, "My throat is dry. Water.""I need a few cups-full of water." Rolaf says.He helps me drink the water."Never did I think seeing your blue eyes make me feel so overjoyed." He tells me.I write down, "Dii miin kos disgusting. Nas could anybody lokaal niin?""Uh... Ulfrrrriiiccc?" Rolaf asks."Yes, Rolaf?" he walks in."What did she ask? Or Say?" Rolaf hands him the paper.Ulfric reads what I wrote, then looks at me. He looks back at the paper and scribbles something. He hands it back. It says, "Hi shouldn't insult hi Med tol. Zu'u really dreh Med hin blue miin. Zu'u siiv nii. voique wah siiv aan girl voth brown om ahrk blue miin"I look at him, and smile. He smiles back."What did you guys say to each other?" Rolaf asks."She wrote, 'Mine Eyes Are disgusting. How could anybody love Them?'. I wrote to her, 'You shouldn't insult You Like That. I really Do Like Your blue Eye. I Find It. unique To Find a girl With brown Hair and blue Eye'." Ulfric tells him."What does this mean? Zu'u don't Mindok thdro" Rolaf pronounces.I giggle and Ulfric laughs."You said, 'I don't know this'" Ulfric says."Well, I got that right..."Weeks, weeks, weeks."Can-n I get out of bed yet?!" I shout."You can try." Rolaf says.I get out of bed, and trip. Rolaf grabs onto me."Let go. You can't baby me." I say.He lets go of me. I take a few steps, then fall."What is going on in he- What are you going, Athena?" Ulfric comes in, and looks down at me."Would you mind if I used you to get up?" I look up at him.Ulfric shoots a look at Rolaf that says, "Is she actually okay?""She demanded she got out of bed..." he says.Ulfric helps me up."Your hands are sweaty." I say, then walk out. I keep stumbling around, but manage to get places."Do you need something?" a guard asks me."No, I'm fine. Just getting used to my legs again." I smile."You're walking around like a drunkard." he says."Hmm, maybe give me a bottle or two of mead." I joke."Mine." he keeps his bottle to himself.A month or two goes by, and my legs and my body seem to be doing well.
