Maydine glanced up as the first burst of sound echoed through the mountaintops. Her brow wrinkled quizzically. It didn't seem to be thunder. There weren't really any clouds out. Maybe it was some sort of imperial thing to make a loud noise when executing people. The second time shook the very bones of her body and she turned her head towards the door to the inn. Her head turned just in time to see the door to the inn blown off it's hinges and the Dunmer she had been speaking to being thrown across the room.<br/><br/>She tried to cast a protective spell. Anything that would help her, but her mind was drawing a blank. A lifetime of casting spells, and she couldn't think of a useful one in a situation like this. All she could manage was a terrified scream as she was blown out of her chair and against the fireplace. The ends of her robe barely avoided catching fire. Her vision hazed from her impact against the wall and she couldn't help from shutting her eyes.<br/><br/>The world snapped back into her reality as she heard a voice, the Dunmer's, yelling across the debris filled inn. Her body coated in pain. Pain like she had never felt before. She wobbily stood to her feet. Her robe had been torn across the side from a piece of wood. Her abdomen  beneath it was bloodied and would surely need healed. She tried to steady herself, keeping her eyes off the people on the floor who weren't moving.<br/><br/>She moved carefully across the inn, knowing that if she fell, she probably wouldn't be getting up again. Finally she made it out of the building, surely she would be safe now. Her hope was not to be. Her eyes caught the sight of a mighty beast flying through the air.<span style="color: purple">By the gods.</span>She stammered as she spoke.<span style="color: purple">Is that a..dr..dr..dragon?</span><br/><br/>She looked around, trying to find somewhere safe or someone that would help her. She had to get away from this town and that mythical beast.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
