I'd just beat the thalmor embassy quest, and fast travelled to Riverwood to hand it in. It was night, and I for some reason decided to whack a chicken. I then bumped into one of the civilians, who pulled out an iron dagger at me.. "oh dear, gotta run from guards again.."
But then suddenly the ground shakes, and not one, but TWO Blood Dragons fly overhead. In the middle of the night. While I was only just beating regular dragons. I was terrified.
I decided to just sit back and let the guards handle it - I didn't think I would be able to last very long. The fight went on for ages, and I eventually pulled out my bow and lent a hand. By the time they were both dead, it was sunrise, I felt so relieved... But then I walked back into Riverwood to find it littered with dead bodies. The first village I ever visited, and it was in this state. It broke my heart ): If only I had joined the fight sooner..
