A Brighter Future?, The story of Tara Willow. Options

[Tábrasa]

Hello! I'll start by introducing myself.

My name is Tábrasa and I'm new to the forums. I've been silently looking at some of the stories on the forums and have felt truly inspired.
Therefore I have decided to start the story of my Breton Wiccan, Tara Willow, who I've been travelling with for the past year. Below is an introduction to Tara, which will soon be followed by the Prologue...

INTRODUCTION TO TARA WILLOW

Tara Willow is a 20 year old female Breton born on the 14th of Rain's Hand, 3E 413.

She is primarily a Conjurer but also dabbles in Destruction and Illusion. She is also handy with a blade in certain situations.

Her father died when she was a teenager and her mother resides somewhere in Cyrodiil, under a new name following events in High Rock that led her to abandon Tara as an infant.

Tara's father was a man obsessed with the art of Mysticism; but in the wrong kind of way. He wanted to experiment the thought of finding a way to turn the human body itself into a soul gem; an experment not only ridiculed, but dangerous.

One day, however, he managed to succeed in his experiment; using a teenage Tara as his unwilling test subject. He managed to trap a spirit withing Tara's body, leaving her in an unusual state.

Tara now has to permanantly live with an extra spirit inside her, who she named Willow, after her surname.
Willow is able to communicate with Tara and take control of her body for brief periods; but only when Tara desperatly need's her assistance. However, Willow's possesions are almost NEVER a good thing.

Currently Tara is on a mission to find her mother, mainly for her own piece of mind. All she knows is that she is in Cyrodiil, but nothing else. The only thing she has to offer any aid in her quest is the memory of her mothers face...

I'm delighted to see you continuing this!

I agree with Tara that a newcomer to Cyrodiil might expect jungle, but I also agree with her assessment that ‘Cyrodill was rather beautiful’. Then she backed it up with some delightful descriptions.

’For all she knew Willow could have known something about what happened back at Alexander’s house.’
Yup. I’d be takin’ that to the bank!

A wonderfully mysterious encounter with an equally intriguing stranger. Tara displays quite a bit of courage here as she initially travels into Cyrodiil by herself, then takes a chance on trusting a stranger. Testament, I believe, to how strongly she yearns to find her mother. I hope she finds her answers ahead.


Nits:
“Excuse me, miss, I don’t know you do i?”
‘I’ of course.

“I own a shop near the imperial city.”
I’d capitalize the proper name of a city and the game calls it ‘The Imperial City’.
