A/N Sorry I haven't been updating the FanFic as much as my other one but here is chapter two hope you all enjoy it

Disclaimer:I do not own Elder Scrolls nor any of the games there in. This is a Fanfic so this is by no way can-on and I am only doing this because some people seem to enjoy reading it

Helgen Keep

As me and Hadvar made our way down the hallway from the sleeping quarters I could hear voices only making out the words Ulfric and escape

"It sounds like there are a couple of Stormcloaks up ahead lets see if we can reason with them." Hadvar said with a hint of hope in his voice

"You can try but if it's all the same with you I'm going to get ready for a fight." I said getting ready to draw my sword.

As we walked through the doorway Hadvar start to try and talk to the two Nords in blue armor only to have them scream "Death to the Empire" and "For Skyrim" well drawing their weapons. But they were too slow as I was prepared for this, drawing my sword I easily got past them and precede to decapitate both of them. Hadvar looked at me for a second stunned.

"Where did you learn to move like that." He asked looking as if someone has slapped him.

"I use to fight Daedra." I said plainly

'When the Oblivion Crisis was 200 years ago, unless you have been dealing with mages?"

"Well seeing as we are relying one each other to have the other's back I guess I should tell you I was alive during the Oblivion Crisis."

"How you're a Nord?" Hadvar demanded

"Being a vampire really helps you keep your youth."I smirked

"You're a vampire." Hadvar said drawing his sword.

"Calm down, former vampire I got cured." I said trying to calm the man down hoping not to have to kill him. " See no fangs" I smiled at him.

"Fine but if this is true that means you most of known the Hero of Kvatch then?"

"Yes of it?"

"Well the man is a legend he more or less closed ever Oblivion Gate in Cyrodiil single-handedly more over he reformed the Knight's of the Nine and was friend with the last of the Septim Emporer's Martian Septim."Hadvar said a little taken back by the fact that I didn't seem to care about the hero of the Oblivion Crisis. "So what was he like?"

I sighed "Well what am I like?"

"What do you mean?"

"Gods Dammit man I told you I use to fight Daedra and am from the time of the Oblivion Crisis put two and two together." I said ready to smack some sense into the man. And then his face lite up.

"You're the Hero of Kvatch." He said as my hand connected with my face.

"Took you long enough." I sighed " Now shall we get out of here."

"Yes and now I feel a lot better knowing you can handle yourself." Hadvar said has he made his way to the door unlocking it and heading through. "this should lead to the emergency exit"

As we made out way towards the kitchens we could hear some more Stormcloaks rummaging though barrels. This time how ever Hadvar just went on the attack I assume he learned his lesson from last time. As we left the kitchen we could hear some shouting

"Up a head in the Torture chambers." Hadvar said more then a little uncomfortable. "Don't think to poorly of the Legion for this it's a necessary evil or at least so I'm told."

As we turn the corner down the stairs we found two Stormcloaks standing over the bodies of what I was guessing as the head torturer and his assistant. After kill the two Stormcloaks I then took a look at the bodies and took of the bracers off one of them and fitted them to myself before look at Hadvar who indicated that we should keep going.

As we headed out we came across another slightly larger group of Stormcloaks soldiers which after a small battle fell to my blade and Hadvar bow checking the bodies before we moved on I found some iron arrows and a simple longbow adding them to my arsenal.

"If your done we need to get moving." Hadvar said plainly

"Yeah I know but a bow might come in handy later on." I said cracking smile

As we made our was though the end of the fort and into the cave system we ran in to some massive spiders only to get though them and find a bear sleeping in a pile of bones both animal and human

" I'd rather not try and fight her right now." Hadvar turned to me whispering only to finding me notching an arrow. Before he could say another word I let the arrow loose hitting the bear square in the eye.

"Where did you learn to shoot like that?" Hadvar asked surprise at my accuracy.

" What did you think I was always running head first into a hoard of Daedra." I raised an eyebrow "I'm not that stupid I would pick some off from a distance first and deal with the rest up close."

" Either way nice shoot." Hadvar said plainly. "The exit is just up ahead lets get moving".

Outside the Cave entrance to Helgen Keep

"We're finally out." Hadvar sighed as he tried to catch his breath

"Get down!" I hiss as I pull him towards a boulder "That damn creature is over head!"

"Dammit I was hoping they had managed to kill it." Hadvar swore as we crouched behind the boulder.

"Apparently not." I sighed " Come on we better get moving." As I get up and start making my way down the hill.

"Your right Whiterun might be in danger we need to warn the Jarl." Hadvar said as he started to follow me." Plus Riverwood is near by my uncle owns a smithy there he might be able to help us."

"Alright lead the way."

As we made out way to Riverwood I asked Hadvar about the state of the world well trying not to revile that I hadn't been on the face of Tamriel for the last two hundred years. He told me about the Great War, the treaty with the High Elves that outlawed the worship of Talos and how Ulfric had started a civil war to drive the Empire out of Skyrim and reinstate Talos worshiping into the province.

" Damn." Was all I could muster as we came up to the settlement of Riverwood.

"A Dragon I saw a Dragon!" A old woman cried as we walked past a house.

Hadvar looked at me "Don't say anything we don't want to cause a panic." He whispered as he headed to an old Nord hammering on an anvil.

"Uncle" Hadvar called over to the Nord.

"Hadvar why do you look like you went 10 rounds with a cave bear?" The Nord.

"Not here Uncle inside." Hadvar said calmly

"Alright Nephew inside it is then." The Nord said placing the metal he was working back in the forge before heading for the door to what I assumed his house.

Once inside Hadvar and the Nord sat down at the table well I chose to stand by the door.

"Why did you leave your post as Helgen and who is your friend?"

"This is James, Uncle and he and I escaped Helgen after it was attack by a dragon."

"A dragon boy have you been drinking?"

"No Uncle I haven't been drinking."

"But a dragon how is that possible."

"I don't know Uncle but last we saw it was heading this way."

"Dammit Riverwood is defenseless. We don't have the men or arms to fight of a dragon." The Nord said putting his face in his hand.

"Why not as the Jarl Hadvar mentioned to me for help I take it these are his lands?" I piped up

Both men look at me as it seemed both forgot I was there. "It was just an idea."

"Yes but the right one." The Nord sighed "But given what is going on with the civil war right and seeing as Whiterun hasn't chosen a side the Jarl of Falkreath might see it as Jarl Balgruuf fortifying his boarders before siding with Ulfric."

"Yes but if he doesn't this place will burned to the ground like Helgen.' I said bluntly "So you choice is Riverwood going to ask for add or are you going to sit here and wait to die?"

"James is right Uncle."

"Fine we will send for add from Whiterun." The Nord sighed " Your name was James?"

"James Bloodbane." I confirmed.

"Mine is Alvor."He said "My nephew seems to trust you so I am choosing to do the same. Can you deliver a message to the Jarl for me?"

"Let me guess "Riverwood call for add"." I answered.

"Yes."

"Alright then I'll be on my way" I said as I went to open the door.

"Wait before you go you must be hungry." Alvor said

I was about to comment when a rather loud growl came from my stomach.

"Come sit down my wife is the best cook in Riverwood." Alvor chuckled as he gestured to the set next to him.

Short time later

"That was good but I must get going." I said as I got up "Which direction is Whiterun?" I

'Head north out of town and fallow the road you will see it soon enough." Hadvar answered. "I'll stay here and rest then head to Solitude to report to General Tullius, I'll put in a good word for you should you decide to join the Legion."

"Then I guess this is good bye for now then" I said as I held out a hand

"Can't say it's been fun seeing as how this all started but it's been good to know you Friend." Hadvar said grasping my forearm

"Same." I was all I said as I opened the door and headed down the road toward what I hoped was Whiterun.
