City of Darkness... Options

[PunchyTable]

Day 1


I woke up… Where was I?? “Hello?? Is anyone here?” I got out of bed and put my shirt on I did up the buttons and headed down the stairs. This house seemed to be empty. Where was I? What Happened?? I looked all around the house and I could not find anyone. I stepped outside into what seemed to be Khuul.. But it was empty.. Abandoned. I walked across the creaky floor boards of the docks. There was a boat there with no one watching over it. What the hell was going on here? I got on the boat and started rowing towards what I thought was Fort Frostmoth.

I had been paddling for nearly two hours when I suddenly saw the sharp corner of land sticking out of an island. I perched my boat up on the land and started looking for survivors. When suddenly I felt something among my side it reached down and it was my Iron Dagger I got from my father when I was 10. I started to feel cold as I walked across this land that I thought was Solsthiem. It started snowing softly “Lucky me…” I said to myself. I saw a small camp in the distance where I was defiantly going to go to looking for population still. As I reached the small camp I realized it was just two small huts and a big House. I entered through the doors, the handle was almost frozen over.

As I entered the smell of death hit my nose at such force I almost stumbled backwards. I looked around the room and saw nothing but bear skin and wolf heads among the walls. I headed up the old wooden stairs and went into the first room on my right. As I approached the door I heard someone on the inside.

I quickly opened the door and was about to grab my dagger when I saw just a man sitting in the corner with a knife wound in his side. As I walked over to his aid I saw about ten body’s Scattered around the room. The man was wearing a full wolf suit with an Iron Longsword in his hand.

“He are you alright can you speak?” He looked up almost frightened of me and said “Wh..Who are you? What are you doing here?” I looked around the room “what has happened here?” He looked down at his wound “(sigh) I don’t know we were all mind are own business when suddenly the door got burst down I was in this room with 3 others sharpening are blades. We all jumped as we heard someone scream from downstairs, My god friend Fretr ran to the door and looked out as a Skeleton shot an arrow in his head, the rest of us got back and drew are swords. But it was to late to do anything.. They all rushed in fighting with these black swords… One of them stabbed me in the ribs as another nord stabbed him I crawled over into the corner as I watched my men die…” I stepped back a bit… “What is this place?” I asked trying to get off the topic.


“This place is known as Thirsk” I looked at him wide eyed “Thirsk?! Why that’s not very far from fort Frostmoth if we leave now we can make it there by…” We suddenly heard someone coming up the creaky stairs.. “ We got to hide!” I whispered he looked up at me “Leave me ill make it out they probably think I am dead” I didn’t want to leave him here but I had to I quickly ran into the closet right next to the spot where he sat.

I saw something I had wished I had never seen before this huge creature he walked right up to this man and looked at him. I think he realized he was alive because right after he looked at him he stabbed him with a deadric dagger. I jumped back trying not to say anything he could hear. He left the room and headed back out the door.

I came out of the closet only to be greeted by 3 different skeletons. I quickly whirled around and grabbed the mans iron Longsword. I ran up to the first skeleton blocking his first attack then chopping his head right off. I ran up to the second one and I made a lunge at him but he deflected it as I went back for another hid as I got my sword into his ribs and split him in half. As I walked up to the third one I heard a Thump! Thump! Thump! As the creature came back up the stairs and into the door.

He looked right at me and drew his weapon. As he took is weapon out the skeletons backed away and let me fight him one on one. He took the first lunge witch he easily deflected. He took a lunge at me as I tried to block it and I barley did. He seemed to hit with such power, such strength. I tried to go for another hit as he pushed it away like it was a feather as I was surprised by his strength he quickly gave a stab at me and hit me right in the side of my arm. Stabbing right threw my arm I screamed in pain as I was pinned to the wall by his sword. He whipped out the same deadric dagger he had stuck into the other man as he implanted it into my chest.. He left the room as I lay there barley alive.. Trying to regain consciences. Someone then walked into the room…


Day 2

I couldn’t figure out who this person was, when my eyes started to refocus she looked like a mage but I wasn’t sure. She had gentle blonde hair and she came up to me and handed me a potion of life “Here drink this, you’ll be alright” I drank the drink still staring at her sparkling face. After I drank it she slowly helped me up as we walked off out of the building. She didn’t say a word all the way back to Fort Frostmoth but once we reached there I asked “What is your name?” she looked at me surprised I could talk alright “my name? My name is Eliza” “What’s your name?” she said almost defensively. “My name is Darius Pelful” This women to me was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. As we got in Fort Frostmoth she quickly took me to the Imperial Shrine where I got a blessing from a holy priest which would help me heal faster.. As I lay on my bed sleeping I couldn’t stop thinking about that creatures eyes… and the way they looked at me as he indulged his dagger into me. Every time I see his eyes I get a pang in my side. I woke up at what seemed to be early in the morning or late in the night I was not sure.

I looked around the room, my eyes still adjusting to the dark. Once I got adjusted to the dark I headed down stairs to find something to eat. I managed to find some bread in the cupboard which I ate pretty quickly. Once finished I headed outside where I sat on the porch and let the cold wind of the night hit my face. It wasn’t snowing anymore but there was snow all over the ground. Every now and then you would hear the sound of the snow crunching beneath the guards feet as he walked along with his torch.

I just sat there gazing up at the stairs in this old chair that was left on the porch. I couldn’t get that creature of my mind… He was something that couldn’t let go of you and you couldn’t get rid of. I felt sick just thinking of him so I tried to push him to the back of my head for a while. I looked at the different area’s of the city across the way was what I think was the armory. And to my left was the Imperial Shrine. It was such a quiet night you couldn’t hear a sound except for the guards and the light creak of the floor as the weight of the chair pushed on it. You could hear the wind howl through the trees with an eerie feel. I started to get chilly and headed inside and went back to sleep.

I fell asleep almost instantly which was rather odd because I had just woken up wide eyed. As I woke up the next morning the room looked a lot different when I could actually see it. As I used my arms to push me up and out of bed I suddenly fell back down onto the bed forgetting about the stab in my upper arm. It still hurt and someone had put a band around it. I walked down the wooden stairs and saw quite a lot of things I could not see during the night. I headed in to the kitchen to find myself some breakfast for I was rather hungry and had last eaten a big meal about 2 days ago.
I still wanted to ask around about why Khuul was so empty and no one was to be found but I knew I had to eat something first or I would be weak for most of the day.


Day 3


After I eat some food I strolled out the door with no worries in the world. I decided to sharpen up my blade from the battle, I headed over to the armory across the street.
I opened the door with an eerie creak I turned to my left I saw a man in fine Imperial Steel. I headed his way and as I arrived I asked him what he had for sale.

He told me he was not selling now due to the problems on Vvardenfell “I…I have family back there…” I held his shoulder and said “Don’t worry.. Ill go over there and see what I can do” I really didn’t want to go over there, but this man was so nice and I wanted to know what happened. I approached the docks and told the boat manager that I wished to get a trip to Khuul.

When I arrived I saw the old house I had found myself in when I woke a few days ago. When I saw it, it gave me flashbacks things I never wanted to see. Just thinking of that creature I had seen hurt the soul of my heart, As usual I pushed it away and worried about the now. I headed over to the Silt Strider which was gone “Lucky me” I said to myself once again. I decided to just walk the way to Ald Ruhn, Where I would see what was going on. I started off my journey with a mere 2k.

Shortly after I had been walking it started to rain but instead of thinking of the negatives of it I just stopped and let the rain press against my face. At that moment I had no worries in the world every thing seemed to slid off me like the raindrops. I slid my helmet back on and continued with my journey. The damn trip seemed to go on for hours when suddenly I saw a small camp up ahead with a mere 5 huts. I walked into the camp which also seemed to be abandoned with no bodies inside.

But as I entered into the last hut I saw someone in the corner… He was not hurt or in pain at all he was just cowering in the corner.. “Hello? Hey are you ok?” He just sat there looking into his hands. When I drew closer and closer.. When he suddenly flipped out an Iron Dagger and stabbed my foot. I drew out my Steel dagger I carried with me for matters like this. With a twirl of my hand I stabbed him in the head. I looked closer and realized he was a Ashlander..

Lets see. You could... put he sighed instead of (sigh).

For your first sentence you could put this instaed of your original sentence.

I woke and looked around confused about where i was. "Hello?" I called out but nothing came back in response. I called again, "Is anyone here? Hello?" Still nothing came back in response to my yells. I got out of bed and put my shirt on and headed the stairs.

The house seemed to be empty. But somthing else was bugging me about this place... Where was I?
