Konrad's story Options

I thought I would give it you in bitesize pieces...as I find them easier to read.


-----------------------Konrad’s Story-----------------------
Konrad woke up, slowly opening one of his eyes. He covered his face with his hand, the light of the midday sun burning his eyes. He pushed his bed covers down, his shiny leather tunic visible now. He never really changes his clothes, but has them washed immediately. He got up, sighing and brushing his coal black hair from his eyes.

“Where is father?” Konrad called down as he descended the antique wooden stairs.

“He is already at his school opening, but I didn’t want to wake you,” his mother replied, frowning as she looked up from her lunch. Picking up a slice of bread Konrad broke free of the confinement of his house, blinking ferociously at the revealed light. He looked around, still amazed at the artistry of the buildings surrounding him. He spent many an hour gazing out of the small opening in his room, just marvelling at the wonders of the architects and builders.

He glanced at the position of the sun to confirm his thoughts. “It is late in the day…I must get there if I am to pass the trials,” Konrad mumbled to himself. He raced through the backstreets of the city, passing the many landmarks on the way, and eventually reached his father’s dream…The Blade School.

Ok, another update. Seems I'm starting to write again.

As Konrad flew past the magical door he had came from he glanced through it and saw the Nord just waking up, burbling slightly. He grinned and continued on, the frenzied cries of the Argonians behind him.

He eventually made it to a fork, the two rock corridors branching out either deeper into the mountain or to freedom. Konrad took the left fork to keep in sync with his step. Just as he passed the chance of going down the other fork seven more Argonians came wandering around the corner, apparently slightly tipsy. Konrad skidded to a halt. He turned back to go the other way, and came face to face with the fastest of the Argonians in the group that was following.

Konrad felt a slash across his stomach and looked down. The Argonian had slit his finger across Konrad’s abdomen, leaving a thin line of trickling blood. Konrad grunted slightly, then kicked the beast in the legs, trying to trip him up.

The warrior lifted his left leg quickly, easily dodging the attempt. Konrad growled then just elbowed the Argonian in the face, sending it reeling back. He took advantage of this and kicked at the beast again. It fell to the floor, disorientated.

Konrad stepped on him and leapt into another Argonian, sending him tumbling to the floor. He scrambled up then ran down the other tunnel. He continued on, 30 enemies now chasing. He again reached another fork and again tried to go left, this time his path granted. He started to tire, the endless running too much.

Ahead of him he could finally see the opening, with a guard standing in front of it. The Orc covered the whole gap with his massive form, helped by a large shield and a double headed axe. Konrad had not seen one of these before…but he didn’t want a closer look.

He charged at the Orc, raising his hand and roaring at him. To Konrad’s surprise the Orc flew backwards, grunting confusion as he seemingly levitated into a sharp jutting out rock. The rock pierced the back of the Orc, emerging through its stomach.

Konrad quirked a brow but ignored it for the time being, going around the rock and out to freedom. He came up to a steep slope and looked back, the Argonians coming up quickly behind. He jumped.

The slope went quickly, a succession of shouts and screams accompanying around 57 rolls and 3 broken bones. Konrad spat out some blood and got up when he had hit the bottom, limping away. The Argonians hissed and laughed at him from the top of the cliff, not bothering to follow.
