The elder scroll I : hike of the Sword-Runners

Arngeirr was crouching close to the timberland floor as he skulked along the lead, stalking his prey. His hands were begrime, mud and moss clung to his Banded Iron Armour, his long gilt blonde haircloth hung over his font, damp with sweat.

He sniffed the air and swivelled around on his invertebrate foot to face north. He had her sent. Quickly but lightly, he sprinted through the forrest towards Riverwood, making lilliputian noise he jumped from a fallen log and climbed a tall oak tree until, halfway up, he rested against a branch. Slowly he drew his fathers antediluvian Nordic Bow and readied his steel pointer to strike.

A Stormcloak patrol passed beneath him.

'' Damn you '' he cursed as they moved on and in he length he saw the expectant deer he had been stalking prancing away towards the lake.

He slid down the tree after sheathing his arm and walked towards Riverwood. As the good morning wind blew through the Tree Arngeirr ran his hand through his golden hair and approached Lake Llinalta. As he broke through the Tree line he breathed deeply inhaling the fresh air, it was so different here than it was in the cities, here you could find peace.

As he looked around himself Arngeirr sat down and, bringing his nose close to the ground he began to sniffle and mind for any wildlife that he might track down.

He soon caught the scent of a fox and followed it in the direction of Llinatas Deep, as he approach the bank he sighed, he hated swimming, he was n't bad at swimming per say, just disliked getting wet, unusual though as he did n't mind getting ill-gotten, sweaty or bloody.

He swam quickly across to the northerly bank to avoid the Slaughter Fish. Unlike others in Skyrim, the fish would have been their last care, as for some reasonableness everyone thought that the lake was cursed, no one in the Sword-Runner category believed in curses, and they were ALL stubbornly brave beyond reckoning.

Arngeirr advanced slowly and quietly for two reasons, he did n't want to lose his prey, and just to his left on top of the pass tower of Llinatas Deep were two bandit piranha wielding Orcish Battleaxes. Also just behind them was an learner wizard.

As he passed silently by he was blasted forward into the Tree-line by a vast ball of complete white light, dazed and confused Arngeirr could see the Necromancer shouting and barking guild as three bandit Archers came up and flash arrows at the sphere as the Necromancer barb fireballs at it and the two brigand earlier charged at it wielding their Axes in a unsighted wrath.

As Arngeirr pulled himself from his stupor and daze he drew his Sky-forge Steel great-sword from his back and charged at the bandits as the orbit began to recoil inside taking the unloosen form of a man.

Arngeirr charged as the first bandit, a feller Nord, turned and charged at Arngeirr clad in hide armor. He swung his axe at Arngeirr 's forefront, Arngeirr ducked, stabbed up into the Nords chest, then spun around drawing the sword from his pectus cutting him nearly in two.

Arngeirr stood up straight, his face stained with blood, holding his bloodied great-sword in his aright hand, his dresser panting as he huffed and puffed, watching as the Orc bandit clad in fur armour charged him in rage.

Mimicking the Orc Arngeirr charged and swung his great-sword with all his might. battle-axe and Great-sword clashed in a spark of Orichulum on Steel.

They pressed each early with all their strength, staring into the orcs brutish face as it roared in anger and continued to iron its brand downwards towards Arngeirrs head. His strong suit was failing, the orc was winning with its vast natural physical strength, but Arngeirr was exhilarated by it he loved fighting orcs as they were one of the few backwash who posed a real threat to him and a genuine challenge.

As the axe drew good to his heading Arngeirr slipped into an unbound rage. He roared out like a cage in lion, the North Germanic language battle cry. He pushed up with all his might and sent the orc reeling back onto its arse, its energy now spent as Arngeirr swung his brand down onto its chest, delivering the killing blow, cleaving a gaping yap in the orcs chest.

Arngeirr spun to see a woodelf crouched on a piece of crumbling rock music that once was a strut holding up the towboat, weilding an coal black bow ready to terminate her arrow at Arngeirr as a banded smoothing iron raiment red-guard wielding dual scimitars advanced on Arngeirr and a Leather clad Khajiit assassin flanked him on his rightfulness as he faced the tower.

Reading himself for combat Arngeirr advanced on the Red-guard and drop his leaf blade in a wide arc in presence of himself. The Red-guard jumped back at the first swipe then as the mo came he deflected with his scimitar sending Arngeirrs blade away from him and into the air. The Red-guard slashed at Arngeirrs thigh bringing him to his knees as an arrow sank into his shoulder. The Khajiit stabbed him in his right should also, completely crippling him as Arngeirr felt his liveliness ebbing from him.

Then he felt a swoosh of air as a dark-green blur flew by him at the Red-guard was thrown back into the towers crumbling walls, an Orcish battle-axe embedded deep in his pectus. Arngeirr watched as the woodelf lowered her bow and stared wide eyed at what she saw, veneration engulfing her. Arngeirr simply looked forward at her the whole time as the necromancer ran forward and tried to produce the corpses to agitate but, the khajiit was sent flying through the air crashing into him, its legs broken. Arngeirr felt a strong hand on his arm pull him up as the fondness scatter through his body, a consoling mollify luminance engulfing his wounds, healing them.

Then a tall man, of 6ft 5in, dressed in ebony armor, wielding two soot black swords and a great sword, with recollective swept back fortunate whisker and a muscular build walked by towards the necromancer and Khajiit. He drove his swords into the cervix of his opponents then turned to the woodelf.

'' Do you submit ? '' The man asked in a deep, yet soft and comforting voice to which the elf just nodded repeatedly

She was short, 5ft 3in in height with farseeing black hair tied back in a pony-tail. Her hide was tanned and her wyes were a deep sparkling green, she was slight of public figure, clearly flexible and agile.

'' Then go inside, gather all that your bandit Friend steal and bring in it out here '' The man ordered as the elf disappeared into the go under keep

The man walked over to Arngeirr and helped him up

'' Are you alright ? '' The man asked, to which the man nodded in answer

'' What is your gens ? ``

'' Arngeirr, and yours ? ''

'' ... Raiden .... ''
