A Question of Fate Options

[ThatSkyrimGuy]

Brief Intro By The Author

A Question of Fate would be the title of my piece.

I have been back and forth about trying to start and post a fan fic piece. The idea has always intrigued me, but I never considered myself to be a writer, let alone a good writer. I have read a sampling of some of the works that are posted on this site, and quite frankly, it is intimidating. The material is amazing. I must say say that despite the intimidation, it is also inspiring. So I am willing to throw caution to the wind and go for it. There are a few provisos. I work for a living. Often times, the hours I work are long. There may be periods of dormancy in this thread. I will apologize in advance for that. Life outside the internet does have it's restrictions. Also, I am sure that there is an unspoken etiquette that states, "You read mine and comment, and I shall do the same". This is also where I could run into trouble, for the same reasons that there may be dormant periods in this thread. There are stories on this site that I could never hope to read all the way through, with triple digit page counts, while I try to keep posting my own story and work through everyday life. So, with all that being said, I will wait to start posting chapters until I get a sense of what the audience demands. Please let me know if I should start posting a fan fic piece, based on what you have just read.

Thanks.

Hello! Welcome to the forums! Quite the tale we have here. I'll be a latest reader!

Prologue: You've given us some information on our protagonist and shared some of his history. Sad that he never met his father, and I do find myself wondering what could've happened to him. So, he was a mercenary for hire? A good job, depending on the client

Chapter 1: The all too familiar setting. The walk to the headman's axe. I did like his little quip about elfs and elves, he's certainly a comical fellow at times. What I like here is that you took the time and effort to explain the quest we know through his eyes, and it offered so much more and as mALX said, gave it life.

Chapter II: Run Val run! An intense scene, this one, and action-packed.

He tried to lift the woman, but most of the flesh on her legs slid away from the bone.

This was an intense image to picture, and I envisioned it as I read it along. Very nice!

Chapter III: Valrimor makes it to the keep, relieves a dead man from his armor and uses an axe, much to his chagrin. Perhaps now his Nordic side can get use to using such a weapon? Speaking of which, I do like the fact that he's a Nord/Bosmer hybrid. Very unique and he certainly looks that way in the image. Now, I am eager to see his fighting skills put to test, though it might take more than a few human enemies . . .
