Rak’nor the free slave.

Prolouge

It was a hot day in Sadrith Mora today, Rak’nor and the other slaves were serving their master Neloth, many thought of Neloth being one of the kindest of Telvanni Councilors, but the slaves knew they were wrong. The slaves were abused in any possible manner, they were kept in cages during the nights and forced to do hard labour, they consisted of mostly beastfolk; Argonians and Khajits. All of their wills were broken long ago, they hadn’t seen anything except the old tower and some parts of Sadrith Mora. Though they met many important people and knew what has been going on, one of the most prestigious people they had met was the Nerevarine himself, when he came to ask about becoming Telvanni’s Hortator. One night a slave no different from the others an argonian, Rak’nor started dreaming once again. He dreamed of how life would be outside these walls and halls on the mainland or other countries, how wonderful it would be if he saw the black marsh and while the others kept working and working he kept dreaming, one day his dreams got so strong that he took the courage to go to Neloth and asked to be freed, Neloth was suprised by the question, no slave ever dared to even speak to him before, if he had not spoken first. He declined the offer and after that started to give Rak’nor more work one harder than the other, he was willing to do anything to break the argonian’s spirit. Sadly, nothing seemed to work, the argonian came back everyday and asked to be freed, over and over again. Soon they started to call him Rak’nor the free slave, after about a year of asking, master Neloth finally gave in and decided to give Rak’nor a chance to be free, he created a otherwise forbidden slave bracer that allowed him to kill the slave anywhere anytime he wanted and put it on the argonian and kept the key close to himself, he asked the argonian to bring him kagrenac’s tools(Wraithguard, Sunder, Keening) that had been distributed around vvardenfell’s most important dunmer temples, master Neloth knew this was no easy feat so he gave the slave exacly a year to do this task to have the death trap on his wrist removed. Rak’nor knew what he had to do was wrong and bad and a betrayal to the nerevarine, who thank the gods has not been in vvardenfell for awhile. Rak’nor accepted the deal and the deal was sealed with a magical bomb, being attached to Rak’nor’s wrist.


What do you think of it, my first time writing fir elder scrolls and made it short, cause i wanted to be sure i can write decently Elder scrolls, so comment. Constructive criticism welcome and my home country does not talk in english, so don't mind the hordes of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, if it really bothers everyone, maybe someone here can fix them

Chapter 2: Way to Balmora

Rak’nor walked a few meters from the tomb and then checked his map where he was. It seemed he was north of vivec and there was quite a walk from here to his destination Balmora. He heard from one of the members in the tomb about the thieves guild having a branch in Balmora and thought that might be a good organization to hire for the job. He started the journey and suddenly he was attacked by 3 scribs, the first 2 were killed by a few slashes, but the third one managed to paralyze him, the scrib attacked him for the few second he couldn’t move, when he got moving again, he slashed through the scrib. Rak’nor was injured and bleeding, he managed to patch himself up with his old shirt and rest a few hours.

He started to move again, he crossed 2 bridges and made his way towards Pelagiad, he chose to use the road this time, so he wouldn’t get attacked again, but no luck half way to Pelagiad and he was attacked by a couple of Nix hounds, He drew his sword and took a fighting stance, the nix-hounds are much stronger than scribs and he was scared, suddenly another adventurer came running behind Rak’nor wielding a daedric katana and slashed through the nix-hounds, he took a knife out and cut the meat out of the hounds. Rak’nor asked who he was and found out he was an adventurer just on his way to Balmora like Rak’nor, he also told Rak’nor that Rak’nor’s fighting stance is all wrong and offered free training, time seemed to go fast with a little company and they reached Pelagiad.

Before reaching Pelagiad, Rak’nor had trusted that he is a free slave to his new companion. His dark elf companion who hated slavery, promised to help Rak’nor whatever it takes though he didn’t know the terms Rak’nor was free on, it was night time and they chose to stay at the halfway inn. They took two rooms and before going to bed cooked the two pieces of hound meat downstairs in the fireplace. When they ate the meat they opened a bottle of sujamma, Rak’nor had gotten from the twin lamps and had a good time and then they retreated to their rooms for a goodnight’s rest.

Day 4

Rak’nor and his mysterious companion both wake up to a headache. They bought a few pieces of bread in the morning for breakfast and then started training behind the Halfway tavern, Rak’nor’s blade skills were weak and his trained companion that Rak’nor now knew as Ian could probably kill him with a few good slashes, but even when Ian toned down his own skill, Rak’nor had a hard time blocking his attacks. When the sun was high they visited the smith in Pelagiad. Rak’nor’s companion bought Rak’nor chitin armors for protection and a silver dagger if Rak’nor faced a ghost or any other creature as such. Then they set off for Balmora, hoping to reach there in nightfall.

Time flew past like always with Ian. They were attacked by a pack of nix hounds again, this time there were 4 and Rak’nor managed to kill one himself. Ian was pleased with the argonian’s progress. They were nearing Balmora and Rak’nor chose to confide his secret to Ian fully after all Ian had done for him. Ian was shocked by the idea of stealing sacred relics, but also understood Rak’nor and promised to tell no one. They finally reached Balmora in Nightfall and without hesitation went to nearby inn Eight plates. They took two rooms there as well and cooked their pieces of hound meat at the fireplace once again. This time they chose not to drink any sujamma, they were very tired after the long walk and wanted to rest, they went to bed.

It was night and suddenly Rak’nor heard a sound in his room, he stayed quietly under his covers and gripped tightly the silver dagger he had gotten from Ian. When someone was at his bed, Rak’nor quickly got up and stabbed a masked man through the heart. Entire inn ran to Rak’nor’s room and Ian asked what happened, Rak’nor explained what had happened and Ian walked up to the dead man and pulled off his mask, it was a redguard. Ian searched the redguard’s belongings and found a note after reading it he said aloud that it was just a bandit, when one of the other customers asked why the bandit was in Dark brotherhood armors, the only explanation Ian could muster up was that the bandit had killed a Dark brotherhood operative somewhere. Ian urged everyone to go back to their rooms. The tavern keeper gave Rak’nor a new free room and called the guards to get rid of the body, Rak’nor went to sleep with unease.
