''my name is... Rose. My village was burned to the ground by bandits. They slaughtered families and stole everything. I... was the only one who survived...the rest died in the burning flames. I remember falling to the ground coughing, as the smoke filled my lungs. The screams filled my ears, and i cried and cried. But i didn't give up, I wasn't going to watch the killers of my family run away, no, i wanted them to pay. I got up, regaining my senses. Scanning the area around me, i felt dizzy. It was hard to see with the smoke, but i was able to find the closest weapon. I picked it up, it burnt my hand for a second. I wasn't a fighter, no...But i felt the need to kill. Inside my veins i could feel my blood boiling. "Hahahahah!" i heard the bandits laugh, it made my ears ring. "No, please!" A woman yelled, and right after, i heard steel pierce through her skin... and she fell to the ground with a thud. I could see them now, just inches away...If i could...my eyes felt heavy. I coughed, Just a few steps...i..i...i fell to the ground. I heard muffled voices. I groaned and Slowly opened my eyes, i could see the bandits looking down at me. They sorrounded me in a circle. My eyes widened, then i clenched my fists. "Well, it looks like this one doesn't give up that easy" a bandit said. I searched around for my sword. "Oh looking for this?" a bandit held it in his hand. It was hard to breathe, i felt so...weak. I wanted them to die, but i couldn't...kill them. One of the bandits said, "We need to get out of here, this place is gonna be sorrounded by imperials soon." Another replied, "Alright, alright...lets just say goodbye to our friend here." All the bandits ran, while one stayed behind. He held up the sword, right over my heart. "No...." i groaned. I tried moving, but i had no control over my lifeless body. He slowley, raised it...higher...and higher. I stared directly into his eyes, pleading that he wouldn't do it. And something weird happened. He put down the sword, and tears filled his eyes. For a moment he just stood there, crying. "Run, he said. Run...my daughter." I lay there in shock, did he just say daughter? "Didn't you hear me?" he asked, staring into my eyes. Tears rolled down his cheeks, "I'm so proud of you...you'll find out soon who you really are...I'm sorry.." I got up, coughing. He wanted to hug me, but he kept his distance, "The scrolls...they were right. My daughter, you're Skyrims only hope..." His last words were, "I love you Rose...Now run!" It took me awhile to process everything, if he was my real father why was he a bandit? I didn't think much more of it when i started running. My mind was clouded with thoughts. And...that's when i was stopped by the Imperials.''
