You will never taste water again argonian. NEVER!

He seemed to be in a daze, repeating the words under his breath. Artur watched him intently for a few moments, unsure if he sould disturb him.

Eventually he spoke up: "Ahem, sorry, you were saying?"

The half-breed seemd to snap out of a dream.

"Oh, sorry... Where was I?"

Artur: "You where telling your life story. I am here from the Chorrol Herald to interview you for the story."

"Ah, Artur isit?"

Artur nodded, exasperated.

"You will never taste water again. That's what I have been muttering, isn't it?"

Artur: "Yes. Five times now, can we begin? What was your name again?"

"For now you can call me HEY YOU! Haha, don't worry, that was my slave name. Shortened to YOU."

Artur: "Okaayyy... Y O U... there, now begin at the beginning, pass through the middle and end at the end please Mr You."

HEY YOU: "The words I remember first, was the ones I have been muttering before. You will never taste water again...

[STORY BEGINS]

I recall them being said to me, though not by whom, as if the person was taunting me. Again, again, again and again...

I would hear them in a dream. A nightmare, because the more that person said it, the more I ached for water. Argonians LOVE water, you understand?

[Artur nodded, glancing up from where his enchanted pen was writing everything down, you just cant trust these things spelling.]

The first WAKING memory I have, is snapping out of that dream, again. And looking upon Lala. I thought I was dead at last, relieved from my mortal shell. From my life of hell.

Lala: "Father, he is awake!"

Father: "Ahhh... he made it! And at last we can see you!"

I glanced around the room. I was in a bedroom. Sunlight falling on my face, and glistening through Lala's hair as she stared at me intently. I knew not where I was. All I knew was that I felt safe, and THIRSTY!

Then I saw it...

A bucket of water! Instictively I bounced out of bed as if a snake was in there! I leaped over Lala, almost knocking her over in my haste to wet may parched palate.

Father: "HEY YOU! Carefull!"

Fear jolted through me at the sound of a stern voice, and a familiar name, often heard before a whipping. Instinct made me cringe, and hide.

Father: "Awww darnit, there he goes again! How he does it so easily is beyond me."

I looked at them, searching for me.

Father: "Lala, bring me the potion."

I wathced Lala scurry out of the room, and then come back with something in a vile that Father proceeded to drink.

Father: "Ahh, there you are. I can detect life with this potion you know?"

I was dumbfounded. HE WAS LOOKING STRAIGHT AT ME!

Father: "Don't be afraid boy. I don't know how you managed the Invisibility spell at your age, but you are sure adept at it. It seems to be triggered out of fear yes?"

Slowly I nodded, and continued drinking. Was this the beginning of a new life?

[Story interrupted]

Hey You: "Say Artur! Want another beer? I can sure do with a glass of water!"

Artur sighed, exasperated, how the heck did he end up soing a story on some crazy half breed ex slave turned who knows?

Artur: "BARMAN! A beer and a water please! Wait, you have anything stronger than beer?"

The barman shuffled over with berry ale and water in large pitchers.

Artur watched his guest drink the water with relish. Who was this man really?


--------------------
I had laser inplants in my eyes once...
Wanted to see how they worked so I looked in the mirror while trying them out...
Laser bounced back and fried the inplants...
Now whenever I sneeze I set stuff on fire...

...so sad...
