Next one!

Chapter 2

“And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by from this day until the ending of the world but we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother. Be he ne'er so vile, this day shall gentle his condition, and gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whilst any speaks, that fought with us upon St. Crispin's day!” -King Henry V addressing the troops before the battle of Agincourt on St Crispians Day in 1415


“Get up!” A sharp pain came across my face. “What did I just say? Get up!” Again something hit me across my face.

“He’s not going anywhere by himself. Come on lets drag him to shore.”

I could barely see a thing. My vision was blurry and my face was numb. They grabbed my arms and legs and lifted me up and carried up some steps and through a door. I was suddenly thrown to the ground. I tried to stand up but fell back down to the ground. A quick blast of cold air told me I was outside. There was something strange about the air too. It did not feel the same as the dry warm air of my land. I squinted to try to see where I was but I only saw a dull white blur. Someone grabbed my shoulder and pushed me farther forward.

“Keep moving.”

It seemed like for hours we walked. Strange noises always echoed through area we walked in. As we walked my vision improved but barely. I was able to tell that I was in a forest with snow all over the place. This was definitely not Vardenfell. I tried to recoup my memories of what happened before I woke up in this place. I remembered being in a city watching something burning in the middle of the street. That was all I was able to recall though before the men leading me somewhere told me to stop. I could see several houses and people moving about on a ridge about 100 yards from where I was standing.

I was lead in to the groups of houses and placed on the ground by a well. I looked around me. There were 6 houses all built of wood and stone. There was Armour at the end of town. The other 5 building looked to be either sleeping quarters or storehouses. I looked for the people I thought I saw. They were talking with the men who brought me here to this place. The first thing that went through my mind was here’s my chance to flee. But the curiosity of this strange world kept me glued to the wet ground. The men came back to me.

“How’s our little prisoner doing?” One of them said grinning at me.
I grinned back. “I’m doing fine nord.”

He glared at me and pulled his hand back and was about to strike when the other man silent until now stopped him.

“Do not strike him. He will need to look well when we show the imperials how well we treat our prisoners.” He grinned at me with brown worn teeth.

I glared. What did that mean? What would showing the imperials how well my health was help them? “What do you plan to do with me?” I asked.

“You will see in due time young dunmer, in due time indeed.” He said.
They laughed, picked me up and drug me to a building.

“You will stay in here.” One of them untied my hands. I was shoved inside. They bolted the door behind me. I looked around. No windows, locked door… No way out. I sat down. Time to think.
How can I get out of here and where am I?

I had some time and thought i should do alittle more on this story. hope you like it despite its shortness.



The journey back to the main camp was hard. 1 man died of his wounds on the way and two more were in serious condition. We made camp for the night but none of us got any sleep. The fear of being found by the rebels was overwhelming. Eventually we all found ourselves trying to make a camp fire to stay warm. It was just something to do to try to keep our minds off our fallen comrades.

After a few minutes of sitting around the camp fire one of the soldiers spoke. “I don’t want to go back to the camp. I knew the order for us to go hunting for rebels was a death sentence as soon as I heard it. If we go back well just be sent back out again on another suicide mission.”

The others looked at Dultog for a response but he just sat there staring into the fire. Silence encompassed us for awhile before Dultog finally spoke. “We must go back. If we can escape by one of the boats they have at the docks we can go back to Skrimm.” He looked at me. “Would you come with us?”

The words came to my mouth before I could even register them in my head. “I must get back to Vvardenfell. My allegiance is still to the armies of Darius.”

They all stared at me and nodded. “I shall help you get back.” Dultog said. “Tomorrow we head to the main camp and to freedom.” The others were heartened at the last words and went to their mats thinking “The sooner I fall asleep the sooner I will wake up to get back home.”



A nord dropped from a branch few feet away and ran off in the direction of the main camp to report Dultog’s plans of desertion.

Another short update.

As we walked into camp it seemed disserted. As we walked slowly throught the camp I thought i saw several men in a tent peering out at us. I picked up my pace to catch up with Dultog.

"Somthings not right here Dultog. We should pick up the pace." He nodded and signaled the rest to hurry up. As soon as we started to speed up several men came rushing out of the tents around us with their swords drawn.

Dultog drew his sword and turned to me. "Run!" At first I just stood there staring but as the men coming at us drew closer I realized I was going to die if I stayed and fought. I started running towards the docks at the far end of the camp. The sails of ships guided me through the maze of tents.

When I finally reached the docks i crouched down behind some barrels and watched for any sign of movement amoung the ships. It didn't take long for me to spot two men coming right at my hiding spot. I had to think of somthing fast. I took the lid off the barrel in front of me and jumped in closing the lid behind me.

"Great." I muttered. I was sitting in barrel filled with beer. The smell was overwhelming. But i forced myself to calm down and relax. I didn't have much time to do either though because almost as soon as i settled down the two men picked up my barrel and started to haul it away to some unknown location. I hope its on one of those ships. All I could do now was sit still and hope for the best.
