STORY OF CLIFF

CHAPTER 1








My name is Cliff. I am a freelance theif. Im a Breton, of a mere 23 years of age but I can do things most advanced theives cannot. Now you may think of me as a young, thick-headed brat, with nothing to lose but to mine and your surprise I soon found out I had everything. But eventually I would lose it, lose everything I ever loved and ever will. To you, by now, this probably sounds like a bunch of bull, if it was me it would too.
See, I didn't associate with the Theives Guild but when you need money. When you need food. When you need pretty much everything, you'll do what you will do. But what I did, well frankley, wasn't worth it. See I did something that no person alive would ever think of doing. I betrayed The Gray Fox, stole from the empire, and murdered Uriel Septim VII all in the same day. Thus attracting the Dark Brotherhood, The Blades, all of the Theives Guild, and pretty much everybody in Cyrodill. Exept Tyrellsis, a female Breton from Bruma. Also the love of my life. She was very beutifall but, like I said, I would soon gain anything and lose everything.

As I sit in the tavern , slowly sipping my ale, I watch the wealthy man I've been stalking, Umbacano The Collecter they call him. I've been watching his every movement from the darkest shadows for weeks now. I've studied up on him to, plotting on how I'm gonna pull off this heist. See he has the largest collection of artifacts of anyone else. Therefore pulling this off would have great bennifits. Probibly get me food for the next, oh say, one hundred years!
I now know that every Middas at three p.m. he brings all of his workers to the Tiber Septim hotel for drinks which should be when I strike. My main target is a crown they say some adventurer retreived for him, its said to contain great powers which would make it worth alot.
It is now three p.m.. I stand and slowly walk outside. As I pass his workers, I quickly pickpocket his bodygaurd and get the keys. As I walk toward his mansion, I realize the keys I got aren't for the mansion but for the bodyguards house. I could easily get into her house and gat the real pairs but I'm running out of time. So I just pull out my only lockpick and I slowly insert it into the key slot. I pop up three out of four tumblers but it is then when I realize that my pick is stuck, thus moving it would snap it in two. So I pull it out and as I turn away thinking I failed, I rememberd I had my steel dagger with me so I pulled it out and ran at the door, sliceing through the wood getting me inside.
Once inside, I snuck up to the private quaters, opened the door. Suprisengly it was open. To the left I saw the prize. The crown was neatly placed on top of a shelf. I was too excited I forgot to check for traps and dashed for the crown. Thus activating a booby trap that pulled me up by the foot by the use of a thick rope. I was jerked up so fast my dagger fell and I smashed my head off the floor. Before I blacked out I saw some sort of machine throw torches out the window, alerting the guards. I also saw a man and a woman come in just before the guards. They tried to untie me but when they tried three guards ran in and the battle commenced. The man, who was a Redgaurd, pulled out a mace while the female, a Khajiit, unsheathed a steal shortsword. The first guard was an archer who was quikly decapitated by the Khajiit . The Redguard swung the mace connecting with the second guards head sending him flying, then ducking to avoid an arrow by the third guard, while the Khajiit swiftly slit her throat. Then the Redguard took the blood-stained mace and quikly crushed the last guard's, who he earleir knocked out, skull. After that I blacked out. I woke up in a dimly lit basement. Surronded by Timber Wolves.
I didn't think they saw me yet, so I reached for my dagger but found a steel claymore. Since I'm a theif I had no idea how to use it but I had to try. I stood as quitly as I could but still the wolves saw me. It was then I realized, I had nothing but iron armour on. This obviosly adds more protection but I'm not skilled in heavy armour. Because I'm a theif I have no use for it, its just to noisy.
The first wolf dove but using the claymore, I silenced him very easily. But the blade was stuck in the wolves skull. I tried to pull it out but I just wasn't strong enough. As I was trying, the second wolf tackeld me to the ground. I spent the next few minutes wrestiling with it to get it off. After about six minutes I finally got it off. I through it into a wall, breaking its back. I stood and saw the last three running at me so I dashed for the claymore. I finally got it unstuck and violently, swung it around, decapitating a wolf and getting it stuck in the wall to. The others were still running at me so I jumped on the the still-stuck claymore, jumped on to a wolf, wrapped my hand around its snout and broke its neck. I turned just in time to kick the last wolf in the face. I ran over to it and shuvved my hand in its mouth and blasted a fireball, the only spell I can use.
I pulled my hand out and slowly walked towards the stairs and was met by the redguard who helped me. " Hello, Cliff my name is Armand Cristoffe. You passed your test,now follow me, my boss would like to see you. " He said.
I was very confused so I followed, hoping he would explain more.

STORY OF CLIFF


CHAPTER 3




As I rode off to the Imperial City, I decided to go to Bruma first. I rode all day and night, encountering verius creatures along the way. At one point I heard screaming, so I turned left to investigate. Following the scream led me to an abanded mine. I jumped of the horse and unsheathed my shortsword.

After trying to find the troubled person outside the mine, I decided to venture in. As soon as I opened the door, a Breton woman in a short dress and leather boots, came running and banged into me. At first I thought she was just trapped but what came out after convinced me otherwise. A hord of goblins. I was about to run seeing I couldn't take them on my own but right then the woman unsheathed a steel bow and arrows. I then knew what I must do. I must charge while she keeps her distance.

I ran at the group of angry goblins. At first I took care of them easily, because most were archers, but all of a sudden a very painfull shock went up my spine. I fell to the ground, hitting my head in the process. I was imobilized for a short period of time. As I lay on the ground, I see it was a goblin shamen that casted the spell. I only got a quick glimpse as the woman drew an arrow back, let it fly, penitrating the goblins skull.

I finally got up and found that the goblins had run away. Except for the war lord. He charged at the girl so I quickly intervined by jumping on the creatures back. I reaptedly shoved my dagger into the beast while she shot it numerios time. At last I finnaly brought it down with an arrow that was stuck in his chest by hitting it with the handle of my dagger, thus driving it into the heart.

I stood and walked slowly over to the lady and merely said " Hello, ma'dam. I'm Cliff, you?".


" Oh enough with your politness Cliff. After seeing the way you killed those wretched beasts, I know your not as elegant as you act. I'm Tyrellsis. But you can call me Ty, everyone else does."she replied harshly.

" So what was that all about?".


" I was treasure hunting in that mine went I was attacked. Thats what I do, I'm a "hunter". What do you do?" answered Ty.

" I'm a.........collecter of unwanted rare items...." I replied, suddenly feeling ashamed of what I do.

" So your a theif?" she chuckeld.

"....................yes.." is all I could say. Suddenly I felt very attracted to this woman.

I told her I was on my way to Bruma and that I would have to stay at Olav's. But she strictly told me she would have none of that and that I was to stay with her. She said it was the least she could do, as she lived in Bruma.

After we arrived at her home, Ty made the most delicios meal I have ever tasted, but she wouldn't tell me what it was made out of. As the night grew older, I felt comfortible about telling her the mission. I was afraid she would report me but all she did was ask " Can I come? I'm very skilled and there would probably be some good loot.". I said yes, as if I could turn her down.

I was walking to the bedroom I was to use. It was three a.m. and after the last few days, I could use a good rest but after the next event I couldn't sleep.

" Oh Cliff?". I turned to see Ty in nothing but but a robe which she let drop to the floor revealing herself. "Come to my bedroom please." is all she said then turned and walked to her room. I was going to refuse as I was very tired but hey, I'm a man. And that night Tyrellsis and I made love for the first time.
