My Ancestors Are Smiling At Me Imperials
Fuck fuck fuck, how am I gonna get outta this? Desmond mentally flailed about as he was herded into a group of similarly helpless people, all scheduled for execution.

But at the same time, another part of his mind told him to shut up and accept his fate. He'd been prepared to die, hadn't he? He'd chosen to sacrifice himself. One life versus billions: it was a no-brainer. Maybe the Eye just had kind of a roundabout way of doing things. Maybe there was some reason it sent him back in time to get killed instead of just killing him there. Maybe somehow that's how the First Civilization had finally solved their dilemma.
But wait, if they could time travel, why did they go through all that trouble with hiding messages in my genetic memory? Why not just pop into 2012 and say 'hey here's how you stop the sun from killing everything'? Maybe only I can time travel, because I'm the fucking chosen one or whatever. Or maybe time travel only works for going backward in time, not forward. Who the fuck knows? I'm gonna be dead no matter what, so what does it matter?
Yes, Desmond had chosen sacrifice. Nevertheless, he didn't want it to go down like this. But it seemed there was nothing he could do about it. Nothing but stand and wait for his inevitable death.
An imposing soldier, with a large sword at his belt- General Tullius, Desmond was told by a fellow prisoner- began addressing the gagged man. 'Ulfric Stormcloak. Some here in Helgen call you a hero, but a hero doesn't use a power like the Voice to murder his king and usurp his throne.'
Ulfric growled through the fabric tied around his mouth.
Tullius continued his rant. 'You started this war, plunged Skyrim into chaos and now the Empire is going to put you down, and restore the peace!'
A low screeching howl echoed through the otherwise quiet air. Soldiers and prisoners alike lifted their heads in alarm.
'What was that?' asked the bookkeeper.
'It's nothing. Carry on.'
'Yes, General Tullius,' said the Imperial Captain, turning to another woman, dressed in brown hooded robes. 'Give them their last rites.'
The priestess spread her arms wide and began to speak in a voice that carried clearly across the courtyard. 'As we commend your souls to Aetherius, blessings of the Eight Divines upon you-'

The priestess lowered her arms, obviously miffed at her invocation's interruption. 'As you wish.'
'Come on, I haven't got all morning.' The prisoner was shoved onto the execution block. 'My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperials. Can you say the same?'
Desmond squeezed his eyes shut for this next part. His stomach lurched as he heard the sickening chop of the headsman's axe. He'd seen plenty of people killed- hell, he'd even killed his fair share- but that didn't mean he was unaffected by it. And death by beheading was far more gruesome than death by poison, gun, or Hidden Blade.
'You Imperial bastards!' shrieked a woman.
'Justice!' a man called in response.
'Death to the Stormcloaks!' cried another woman.
'As fearless in death as he was in life,' Desmond's cartmate said, relatively unperturbed by the situation.
'Next, the renegade from Cyrodiil!'
Hearing a repeat of the eerie noise from earlier, Desmond reopened his eyes. Whatever it was, it sounded louder this time.
'There it is again. Did you hear that?'
The swordswoman clearly didn't care for such distractions. 'I said, next prisoner!'
'To the block, prisoner. Nice and easy.'
Desmond was shoved forward. Oh shit! I'm next already?! Thoughts of home, family, and friends flashed through his mind as uncaring hands escorted him roughly to the chopping block.
A foul stench invaded his nostrils, either from the stout executioner, or from his huge axe, nearly as tall as Desmond. The metal itself seemed to be red, so thoroughly was the blade covered with layers of blood and grime.
Then a foot was in his back and he was forced to his knees, and for a split second he was eye-to-eye with the severed head of that fearless prisoner who'd preceded him in death, but he couldn't bear the sight and he turned his gaze away, gears fruitlessly spinning in his brain, hoping against hope that there might still be some way to escape.
My Ancestors Smile Upon Me
However, those gears soon slowed and halted. This is it. No way out. I was born to die. It's in my DNA. This is my sacrifice. Even though I didn't choose this time-travel weirdness, I did choose this fate.
Everything was stillness for a brief moment.
Desmond was about to close his eyes and turn his last thoughts to his parents when another roar sounded from out of the sky and he saw a jagged dark shape against the clouds.
