Freedom!

I am free! FREE! And with all of the adrenaline surging through my body I scarcely know how I am writing this. I can only hope that the soothing sounds of Lake Rumare will act quickly to settle the wild pangs of shock and anxiety, but I should be safe here at Dznot cave for the time being.
The stars fill the clear sky and a beautiful red planet watches over me. Hard to imagine that only a few hours ago I was staring at chains and the craggy face of a dungeon wall.
So how am I now free? Well I can only call it intervention from forces beyond my understanding. I was at the barred door of my cell in the dungeon having another row with that mad Dunmer, Dreth when we heard footsteps, a lot of them, descending the gaol's stone steps. I was told to step away from the door as it was my cell they wanted. It turned out to be none other than the Emperor Uriel Septim and a few of his personal bodyguards the Blades! They activated a secret door in my cell and used it to escape with the emperor. One of the entourage told me it was my lucky day so I took that as a cue to escape myself.
At first the bodyguards thought I was part of the assassins they were protecting the emperor from but Uriel Septim told them it was not so. In fact he told me that he had seen me in a dream and that I would be remembered long after this whatever that meant.
I was there when an assassin killed the emperor! Before he was slain Septim gave me the Amulet of Kings and told me to deliver it to a man called Jauffre.
