The diary of a nord Options

[flowerboom]

hello all,

this is a projet of mine , i want to get better at writing and i think that writing up an account of my new character will help me in this ,i would appreciate constructive critism , also i will be using pics ( thanks to somebody special) for the first time

i considered making to chracters - a female and a male - the fmelae was to be called "lady macbeth" but i started on the dungeon as the nord , and at that moment i realised that i had to devote all my effort to him

since my days tend to be busy my entries will almost certainly vary in description because i simply do not have enough time to write all the time , apologies .

The nords name is Aelfric donablain , he is 19 years old and has one single point of him being in the imperial prison : To find the girl he loves

I'd like to thank acadian , mirocu and renne gade / lady saga for inspiring him , all i am going to say is that you will have an influance on his story ...cant say anything more .

Entry one :

Aelfric heard the rats crawling around in here , it was cold and smelly at the same time , he had no idea how the prsion achieved this , but it had . It was a hellish place full of hidden sin and terror . He got up off his bedroll and tiredly slumped on his small stool on the plain table , his only real possesion anymore ( http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/9434/obli...02111331325.png ) he could hear the elf over the in the other cell , spitting and cursing as usual . He was shocked at how bitter some people could be . Suddenyl came a new sound - the rustling of armour - quickly he bolted up and went to the gate , it was to early for the serving of cruel , were they coming for a beating ? they were so cruel...

the elf , prehaps thinking he had for once provoked ihm , began to laugh " all that muscle , WASTING AWAY! hahaahah , you hear that ? the guards are coming . For you! your goign to die in here nord , your going TO DIE! .

"close that door behind us" said a sharp female voice , that suprise aelfric , you didnt get many female legionares . but suddenyl out of the gloom emerged three soldiers and a man ...dressed in fine silk ...he gasped as he realised who this was . The emperor!

"my job right now is to get you to safety" she suddenyl snapped

"whats this ? this cell is supposed to be off-limits!"

"mix up of the watch i...."

"nevermind , get the damn thing open"

"you nord , over b ythe window , i wont hesitate to kill you if you get in my way!"

Aelfric looked at her and saw that vicious sword , he knew she meant every word , he hastily backed right up to the wall and waited , he thought he was going to die ...

He was angry , he didnt deserve it , he had came to the imperial city to find them , the two women , and he had let his temper get away with him..

it had happended in the market district , he had heard nasty rumours going round , that an elf had recently been caught here , he hoped to find a lead. He walked into a nearby shop to ask the shopkeeper for any news , he remebered that shop - crates of food against the wall , pieces of armour on display . He walked up to the man , a gummy one with a broad smile

"how may i help you , m'lord?"

"hello there , did you hear the news about those to women who tried to rob a shop ? issint it awful!"

the mans smile vanished , suddenyl replaced by a sneer .

" yeah , i know about , the two of them both tried to rob my own bleedin' shop , a liazard , filthy beasts , and some elf mother of mine who laid it on thick , and i felt sympathy for her!"

"dont call them beasts sir , they are just as clever as you or i , and i will not tolerate such language!"

"owww , you wont tolerate it , i shoulda' known , looks like oyu woulda' shacked up nicely with the tree hugger , the little slu-"

suddenly he had the man pinned against the wall , "what did you just call her" he roared , the man gasped , sweat oozed down his face

"i said : a little slu-"

he threw him down and punched him again and again , wanted to kill him , then the guards swarmed in , the shopkeeper was crying like a baby and spat on him , despite everything he felt satisfied he had taught him a lesson , if he was talking about the person he was serching for -

"stop in the lame of imeprial law!" said one guard , the other slapped him in irons

But now aelfric ripped the irons off, and for good measure his scratchy shirt to , "let me come with you! i can help you!"

the bodyguard sneered , " i dont think so"

"Wait! , let me see your face...you are the one from my dreams...then the stars were right...and this is the day..."

The emperor finished his speech to shocked silence , but then : "he comes with us , lets go"

as the old wall came down aelfric did not hesistate , with a last fleeting look he chased after them

The dungeons were long , and Aelfric sturggled through them , at one point the emperor left him , and he thought he was goign to die , but somehow he did it , they got to the final room

Outside there was fighting , Aelfric could heard the two remaing blades fighting for there lived , he stood resouloutly beside the emperor " if you die i die" he said bravely

suddenyl a new passage came into few , a assasin jumped out , "this is the end for you" he shireked

He tried , but aelfric could not save the emperor but he killed the assasin brutally , he pulled back his hood and was shocked to see a wood elf behind the mask .

"NO!" - it was baurus , and for the first time aelfric looked down at the emperor's graceful body , "divines bless you" he said quietly and bent down to shut his eyes . He could feel baurus's eyes on his back

They stood there for a moment , then baurus asked "the amulet - WHERES THE AMULET?"

"i have it" said Aelfric , whom promptly handed it over

They then had a conversaion , Baurus finally trusted him and told him to give the amulet to jaufree , and even gave him the key to get out of there.

Aelfric got through the sewers quickly and finally emerged at the end of the tunnel , freedom! he punched the air trumphantly

He would go to the priory , but first he had to find her , he would go to bravil now ...and see where it took him..

* i realise i got the story short , but this first entry was more of me practising with pictures, as you can see it was picture intensive , what did you think of my first attempts at pictures?

Hopefully i can write more later .

** sorry for the awful typos , in the future I will make an absoloute effort to type slower and proof - read ( hopfully it is still read-able)

*** BUT it is always going to be an issue so ...your just going to have to try to read through it
