Riftens Cyrodilic Journal, First Fan-Fiction, Don't go toooo harsh on me :) Options

[Riften]

Anyway, here's a small tid-bit on Riften: Riften is a kind adventurous Elf who was born in 3E 399 Valenwood, back then he was a religious Bosmer who went on many pilgrimages which gained him high standards with the Divines. Talos granted him Immortality and the Gift to change race and province at any time during his life, But he only does it every couple of years when he feels like his life during that time is uneventful or boring.

During his time travelling all of Tamriel he was Bosmer
During his time in Morrowind he was Dunmer
During his time in Cyrodill he was Manmer
During his time in Skyrim he was Altmer

Chapter 1:The Arrival

I awoke to find the shining sun blinding my eyes, as I stood up, something caught the corner of my eye, in the distance I could see beautiful, lush forests, Guards galloping on their elegant steeds. As I turned around, I was awestruck, a huge city, Ayleid architecture. I knew where I was, the glorious pride of the Empire, The Imperial City.

I was galloping to the entrance, something caught my eye that made me stop in my tracks, a foul smell crawled up my nose. There was a sewer with a deceased Dunmer laying there with nasty deep wounds. That reminded me, I didn't even know what race I was. I looked at my body, pale skin, short, I was a Breton! Thank Talos for that! As I looted the Dunmers badly wounded body, I noticed he was carrying a journal.

He went by the name "Valen Dreth" his journal was poorly written, barely readable, I squinted my eyes, it says that he was a prisoner in the City jail, poor fellow, he was only a week away from being free when a well dressed Imperial and a group of well armoured warriors, probably his bodyguards. The well dressed Imperial handed him an amulet, at least I think, after all it is barely readable. anyway, lets move on.



That's the end of Chapter 1 anyway, any feedback, tips, etc.... is welcome!

I'll be doing longer updates on Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Chapter 6 - Home Sweet Home

I entered the Nordic tavern, the stench of ale and mead crawled up to my nose. Ecstatic Nords were chatting, drinking and munching on a fine mutton. I sat down onto the wooden stool and said

"Give me your finest Tamika, sir!

The weighty Nord sneered at me and gripped a bottle from under a shelf.

"That will be 30 septims"

Before I handed him the septims I over-heard a couple of Bretons talking about a mysterious tower that has appeared up in the mountains. I knew immediately that it was my home. Ignoring Olav, I approached the two Bretons and asked them politely to point out the location on my map.

"Hail fellow Breton! I couldn't help but over-hear your little conversation about that tower, would you mind marking the location on my map?"

"Sure, I'll help a fellow brother any day. Its right up in the Jerral Mountains."

"Thank you kindly brother, here's a few septims for your troubles"

I handed the generous Breton 30 septims. I couldn't help but notice him pull a smirk with excitement. See people? If you don't go around being a damn stereotype you get septims.

Reaver was standing outside the gate walls ready to go. He galloped hard and fast. The journey was quite short actually. I was overwhelmed with excitement I just had to get there as fast as I could. The bright lights in the distance, I was just here. Magic flew through my body, It felt like quenching my thirst with a cold bottle of Tamika.

I noticed the stable was still outside so I threw Reaver in and ran into my tower. Divine glowing lights, dense grey walls, flaming fire, I was home once again! It seems I lost quite a lot of my possessions.
But still, I have as many books as I need, a variety of Robes and a warm comfortable bed. I put on my old robe, jumped into bed and drifted off to asleep reading my old Morrowind journal.

I had a dream of my adventures in Morrowind. Well, not really an adventure it was more of when I was leaving Morrowind.
