Morrowind, It used to be a game.... Options

[Neck' Thall]

Now This is my first fan fic and im just seeing if people like my idea.

Prologue

Ryan was walking down a PC game isle when he saw the game.... “Morowwind”. He loved all RPG games since his first D&D game six years before and this would top them all. Even better was the cheap price, $ 29.95!! He immediately took out his wallet and went to the cashier to buy the game. Then he and his parents went home, them to watch an R rated film (Ryan was only 14 at the time), and he to load Morrowind.

Unfortunately, he was unable to load it until 10:00 because he had some parent assigned homework to do. When he was finally finished, he charged down to ground level and then went in to his houses sub-basement, where his families four computers (one for each person) were each seated.

He practically punched the “ON” button and waited anxiously for the Computer to boot. When it was done booting he ripped the Morrowind box open, put the CD into the drive, and began reading the manual, clicking occasionally when asked. He was finished with the manual by the time it was fully loaded and double-clicked on the sun-and-moon icon on his desktop.

When he started it up he realized that it was 11:00 PM, but kept on playing, even though he was very groggy. He fell asleep just as his cursor landed on new game. He had the strangest dream that night. He heard a kind, motherly voice saying:

"Ryan, the outlander from above, they have taken you from the Imperial City's Prison, first by carriage and now by boat, to the east, to Morrowind. You have been chosen, you are the first, and others will follow. Fear not, I will guide you...."

He was roughly shaken awake and tried to stay asleep but was force to open his eyes when the shaking continued. When he looked up he was startled to full wakefulness. Standing above him was a man who was so dark he could be called black except for the tint of blue in his skin.

"Hey wake up laddie. What happened? Were you having a bad dream?" said the man as
he stuck out his hand

Ryan took his hand and stood up.

"What? What is this place? Who are you? What are you? Why is the ground moving?"

The man gave him a wooden cup of a dark red liquid, which he drank. It had a sweet taste to it. After he drank it the man said,

"I am Jiub the Dunmer, or Dark Elf as you Imperials call us, and we are on a ship from Cyrodiil that has docked at Morrowind..."

Thx everyone but I've decided to continue with third person.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ryan walked into a blessedly empty yard that had a rain barrel that looked just about the right size to hide all of his new found loot. Apparently someone else had had the same idea and there was a very ugly ring with a green stone set in the band. Ryan pocketed the ring after stashing his loot. He then walked into the office of Sellus Gravius.

“Now listen lad, I don’t care what you have to say. Just give me your papers. This is unbelievable!!” he shouted after Ryan gave him his papers. “Three prisoners released in three months and sent to the same person!”

“What are you talking about?” Ryan asked.

“Just shut up and take this package to Casius Cosades in Balmora. Take this money too.” Gravius growled. “Now, get out of my sight.”

Bewildered, Ryan quickly obeyed, taking the package and the money before going to the yard to get his loot bag. Then he strode through Gravius’ office as if he belonged there, so as to provoke no suspicion on the sack. As soon as he stepped out to Scyda Neen a very short man, whose pointed ears and short stature practically screamed WOOD ELF, approached him and started complaining.

“I don’t get it! First I lose it when that guard does the “Shake Down Fargoth” ritual and I get it back from a nice Breton who passed through here about 2 months ago. Then I lose it after some one puts a note in my hiding spot that I need to get another. Who ever put that note in there also took my favorite lock pick So I kept it on me and lost I again.” said the already annoying little Bosmer “After that I am given it by an Imperial woman, and now I’ve lost it again! I wouldn’t be surprised if you had it ‘cuz they all came out through there and gave it to me.”

Remembering the ring from the barrel, Ryan brought it out and showed to the Bosmer, thinking As long as I’m stuck here I might as well make some friends.

“That’s it!!! I knew my hunch was right! You are my new best friend. I’ll even tell another friend of my about your kindness.” said Fargoth as he did a little happy dance. “I’ll make sure he give you a discount!! His name is Arrille and he runs the trade house up the street. Now where to hide it…”

Ryan walked towards the building the wood elf had pointed to before he started laughing out loud. Fargoth beat him to it and then rushed back out. When he passed Ryan his smile looked like it would break the confines of his mouth and skyrocket to the moon(s).

Ryan stepped into the trade house and was greeted by a tall yellow skinned elf that had to be an Altmer. The room was small and there where some stairs at the back of it. Up those stairs he could hear the laughter commonly associated to bars with drunken Nords in them (though Ryan had never been in one).

“Hello, you must be Ryan. Fargoth just gave you a wonderful account of your kindness. I know he’s a bit tedious at times but he really is a good fellow.” said the High elf with laughter in his eye. “Now, since you’re fresh off that boat, would you be needing something in the line of weapons or armor?”

“Actually I would like to sell a few things first” said Ryan as he brought out his sack.

Ryan and Arrille got down to haggling, which was make significantly easier by the fact that Arrille liked him. They eventually agreed on 200 septims, after Arrille gave him a full suit of this bone armor called chitin and two steel axes for Ryan to use. Ryan also bought the mortar and pestle that was on a shelf behind the Altmer. After he strapped on his new armor and snapped his new axes onto their places on his back, Ryan stepped outside of the trade house and into the rain.
