REDSONG

STORY OF CLIFF

CHAPTER 1








My name is Cliff. I am a freelance theif. Im a Breton, of a mere 23 years of age but I can do things most advanced theives cannot. Now you may think of me as a young, thick-headed brat, with nothing to lose but to mine and your surprise I soon found out I had everything. But eventually I would lose it, lose everything I ever loved and ever will. To you, by now, this probably sounds like a bunch of bull, if it was me it would too.
See, I didn't associate with the Theives Guild but when you need money. When you need food. When you need pretty much everything, you'll do what you will do. But what I did, well frankley, wasn't worth it. See I did something that no person alive would ever think of doing. I betrayed The Gray Fox, stole from the empire, and murdered Uriel Septim VII all in the same day. Thus attracting the Dark Brotherhood, The Blades, all of the Theives Guild, and pretty much everybody in Cyrodill. Exept Tyrellsis, a female Breton from Bruma. Also the love of my life. She was very beutifall but, like I said, I would soon gain anything and lose everything.

As I sit in the tavern , slowly sipping my ale, I watch the wealthy man I've been stalking, Umbacano The Collecter they call him. I've been watching his every movement from the darkest shadows for weeks now. I've studied up on him to, plotting on how I'm gonna pull off this heist. See he has the largest collection of artifacts of anyone else. Therefore pulling this off would have great bennifits. Probibly get me food for the next, oh say, one hundred years!
I now know that every Middas at three p.m. he brings all of his workers to the Tiber Septim hotel for drinks which should be when I strike. My main target is a crown they say some adventurer retreived for him, its said to contain great powers which would make it worth alot.
It is now three p.m.. I stand and slowly walk outside. As I pass his workers, I quickly pickpocket his bodygaurd and get the keys. As I walk toward his mansion, I realize the keys I got aren't for the mansion but for the bodyguards house. I could easily get into her house and gat the real pairs but I'm running out of time. So I just pull out my only lockpick and I slowly insert it into the key slot. I pop up three out of four tumblers but it is then when I realize that my pick is stuck, thus moving it would snap it in two. So I pull it out and as I turn away thinking I failed, I rememberd I had my steel dagger with me so I pulled it out and ran at the door, sliceing through the wood getting me inside.
Once inside, I snuck up to the private quaters, opened the door. Suprisengly it was open. To the left I saw the prize. The crown was neatly placed on top of a shelf. I was too excited I forgot to check for traps and dashed for the crown. Thus activating a booby trap that pulled me up by the foot by the use of a thick rope. I was jerked up so fast my dagger fell and I smashed my head off the floor. Before I blacked out I saw some sort of machine throw torches out the window, alerting the guards. I also saw a man and a woman come in just before the guards. They tried to untie me but when they tried three guards ran in and the battle commenced. The man, who was a Redgaurd, pulled out a mace while the female, a Khajiit, unsheathed a steal shortsword. The first guard was an archer who was quikly decapitated by the Khajiit . The Redguard swung the mace connecting with the second guards head sending him flying, then ducking to avoid an arrow by the third guard, while the Khajiit swiftly slit her throat. Then the Redguard took the blood-stained mace and quikly crushed the last guard's, who he earleir knocked out, skull. After that I blacked out. I woke up in a dimly lit basement. Surronded by Timber Wolves.
I didn't think they saw me yet, so I reached for my dagger but found a steel claymore. Since I'm a theif I had no idea how to use it but I had to try. I stood as quitly as I could but still the wolves saw me. It was then I realized, I had nothing but iron armour on. This obviosly adds more protection but I'm not skilled in heavy armour. Because I'm a theif I have no use for it, its just to noisy.
The first wolf dove but using the claymore, I silenced him very easily. But the blade was stuck in the wolves skull. I tried to pull it out but I just wasn't strong enough. As I was trying, the second wolf tackeld me to the ground. I spent the next few minutes wrestiling with it to get it off. After about six minutes I finally got it off. I through it into a wall, breaking its back. I stood and saw the last three running at me so I dashed for the claymore. I finally got it unstuck and violently, swung it around, decapitating a wolf and getting it stuck in the wall to. The others were still running at me so I jumped on the the still-stuck claymore, jumped on to a wolf, wrapped my hand around its snout and broke its neck. I turned just in time to kick the last wolf in the face. I ran over to it and shuvved my hand in its mouth and blasted a fireball, the only spell I can use.
I pulled my hand out and slowly walked towards the stairs and was met by the redguard who helped me. " Hello, Cliff my name is Armand Cristoffe. You passed your test,now follow me, my boss would like to see you. " He said.
I was very confused so I followed, hoping he would explain more.
