Elle stood petrified when she saw the dragon. Yes, that's what it was, she had read about them and seen pictures. If that wasn't a dragon, then she didn't know what it was. She stood staring at it wide eyed and she swore it was staring right back at her, beady red eyes glowering in her direction before it let out a mighty shout from its mouth, knocking her flat. She smacked her head against the ground, stars dancing in her vision as she stumbled to her feet away from the beast. She was sure her head was pounding, but the adrenaline rushing through her numbed any pain she felt for now. 

Her first instinct was to run, but where? The dragon had jumped into the sky again and she was sure it was going to start spitting fire at any second. Everyone was yelling now, but it was all very indistinct in her ringing ears. 

Someone to her right shouted, [color=9E9E9E]"Breton! Come on! The gods are giving us another chance!"[/color] 

Elle blindly tripped in the direction of the voice, her vision clearing and the person shouting proving to be Ralof, the one decent person in the cart from earlier. She suddenly stopped and looked behind her at the dunmer before running over to him and dragging him to his feet. [color=00B2EE]"Come on, Nilovas, or whatever your name is, this is our chance,"[/color] she said her words a little slurred.

Not waiting for his reply, she bolted in the direction Ralof had gone. Nilovas could follow or not, she didn't much care, but she would have felt bad for just leaving without offering assistance. 

She ground to a halt inside the stone building most of the Stormcloak captives had rushed into. Her vision had cleared by now, and she looked around slightly dazed before Ralof spoke again.

[color=9E9E9E]"Jarl Ulfric! What is that thing? Could the legends be true?"[/color] he asked, question directed at his Jarl.

[color=9FB6CD]"Legends don't burn down villages,"[/color] Ulfric replied grimly, before the dragon roared again outside, [color=9FB6CD]"We need to move! Now!"[/color]

Ralof looked around the room before his eyes landed on the stairs, [color=9E9E9E]"Up through the tower, let's go!"[/color]
