"Legends don't burn down villages!"

It was the first time I ever heard his voice. But at this exact moment, I somehow knew my fate was forever bound to his. I would either die by his hand or in his arms.

The first rays of sunlight beaming through the windows woke me up. I turned around, laying a loving gaze upon my husband, still asleep by my side and smiled. I stroked his long golden leonine mane of hair and kissed his forehead. My beloved stirred but did not wake.

I had been reliving our first encounter every night for the last week or so. The fear and anguish I had felt facing Imperials, facing Elenwen, facing the headman's ax... it had all melted away. Only remained images of the man sitting next to me in the carriage, gagged and hands-tied, of the man who stayed behind to help wounded soldiers while I was to escape with Ralof, of the man I didn't know then but I would marry one day.

"Could you please stop starring at me while I sleep..."

His voice low and husky from sleepiness made my heart jump in my chest.

"Why should I?", I whispered with a smile.

He smiled back and opened his arms for me. I laid against him, enjoying his presence, his warmth, his scent. Hugging him tight, I drifted back to sleep.

Throught blood and battle, tears and dirt, rage and flames, I had come to this day...
I was Eliana Evergreen Stormcloak, Dovahkiin and new High-Queen of Skyrim. And this is how my legend ends... and my life finally begins!

Here is the prologue / epilogue of my new fanfiction. I've become a big fan of the pairing Dragonborn x Ulfric, so... here is my version of the romance :) There will be adventure, action, blood, violence but also lot of fluff, so thee be warned! :)

The first chapter is written in first person because I though it was more fitting for a prologue, but the rest of the fic will be mainly in third person (because... it took me about half a chapter to realise... I HATE writting in first person! '^^)

Hope you'll enjoy, pro-stormcloak messages and constructive reviews will be most appreciated! :) Constructive pro imperial messages will be read, accepted and answered, flames and rude anti stormcloak messages will be FUS RO DAHed ;)
