The elder Scrolls I : Rise of the Sword-Runners

Arngeirr was crouching close to the woods floor as he skulked along the track, stalking his quarry. His hired hand were dirty, mud and moss clung to his Banded smoothing iron armor, his long gold blonde hair's-breadth hung over his face, damp with sweat.

He sniffed the air and swivelled around on his foundation to face north. He had her sent. Quickly but lightly, he sprinted through the forrest towards Riverwood, making little 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 ancient Nordic Bow and readied his brand arrow to strike.

A Stormcloak patrol passed beneath him.

'' hoot you '' he cursed as they moved on and in he space he saw the large cervid he had been stalking prancing away towards the lake.

He slid down the tree diagram after sheathing his weapon and walked towards Riverwood. As the morning tip blew through the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree Arngeirr ran his hand through his golden tomentum and approached Lake Llinalta. As he broke through the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree argumentation he breathed deeply inhaling the new 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 whiff and listen for any wildlife that he might hunt.

He soon caught the odour of a fox and followed it in the counselling of Llinatas trench, as he approach the camber he sighed, he hated swimming, he was n't bad at swimming per say, just disliked getting wet, strange though as he did n't mind getting unsportsmanlike, sweaty or bloody.

He swam quickly across to the northern bank to avoid the Slaughter Fish. Unlike others in Skyrim, the fish would take been their in conclusion worry, as for some grounds everyone thought that the lake was cursed, no one in the Sword-Runner family 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 recede his prey, and just to his left on top of the sunken pillar of Llinatas oceanic abyss were two brigand marauder wielding Orcish Battleaxes. Also just behind them was an Apprentice wizard.

As he passed silently by he was blasted forward into the Tree-line by a huge lump of pure white illumination, dazed and confused Arngeirr could see the wizard cheering and barking society as three brigand Archers came up and shot arrows at the heavens as the necromancer barb fireballs at it and the two bandit earlier charged at it wielding their Axes in a blind wrath.

As Arngeirr pulled himself from his stupor and fog he drew his Sky-forge Steel great-sword from his spinal column and charged at the bandits as the sphere began to shrink inside taking the easy form of a man.

Arngeirr charged as the 1st bandit, a lad Nord, turned and charged at Arngeirr clad in hide armour. He swung his axe at Arngeirr 's foreland, Arngeirr ducked, stabbed up into the Nords chest, then spun around drawing the sword from his chest cutting him nearly in two.

Arngeirr stood up straight, his grimace stained with origin, holding his bloodied great-sword in his redress bridge player, his chest of drawers panting as he huffed and puffed, watching as the Orc bandit clad in fur armor charged him in rage.

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

They pressed each other with all their strength, staring into the orcs brutish face as it roared in wrath and continued to press its steel downwards towards Arngeirrs head. His strength was failing, the orc was winning with its immense natural physical strength, but Arngeirr was exhilarated by it he loved fighting orcs as they were one of the few races who posed a real terror to him and a real challenge.

As the axe drew nearer to his headway Arngeirr slipped into an unbind furore. He roared out like a cage in lion, the Nordic battle cry. He pushed up with all his might and sent the orc reeling back onto its arse, its push now spent as Arngeirr swung his blade down onto its bureau, delivering the killing blow, cleaving a gaping pickle in the orcs chest.

Arngeirr spun to see a woodelf crouched on a opus of crumbling rock and roll that once was a swagger holding up the tower, weilding an ebony bow ready to fire her arrow at Arngeirr as a banded iron tog red-guard wielding threefold scimitars advanced on Arngeirr and a Leather clad Khajiit assassin flanked him on his right as he faced the tower.

Reading himself for combat Arngeirr advanced on the Red-guard and dangle his blade in a full arc in movement of himself. The Red-guard jumped back at the first swipe then as the bit 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 hand should also, completely crippling him as Arngeirr felt his lifetime ebbing from him.

Then he felt a swoosh of air as a greenish blur flew by him at the Red-guard was thrown back into the towers crumbling bulwark, an Orcish battle-ax embedded deep in his chest of drawers. Arngeirr watched as the woodelf lowered her bow and stared wide of the mark eyed at what she saw, fear engulfing her. Arngeirr simply looked forward at her the altogether time as the Necromancer ran forward and tried to parent the corpses to fight but, the khajiit was sent flying through the air crashing into him, its legs broken. Arngeirr felt a warm hand on his arm pulling him up as the warmth spreadhead through his body, a cheering gentle light engulfing his wound, healing them.

Then a tall man, of 6ft 5in, dressed in sable armour, wielding two ebon steel and a expectant sword, with foresightful swept back golden hairsbreadth and a muscular figure walked by towards the necromancer and Khajiit. He drove his swords into the neck of his opponents then turned to the woodelf.

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

She was shortstop, 5ft 3in in tiptop with long black hair tied back in a pony-tail. Her skin was tanned and her wye were a deep sparkling Green, she was slight of soma, clearly flexible and agile.

'' Then go inside, gather all that your brigand Quaker steal and bring it out here '' The man ordered as the elf disappeared into the settle keep

The man walked over to Arngeirr and helped him up

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

'' What is your epithet ? ``

'' Arngeirr, and yours ? ''

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