Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

The Whiterun gard at the small lumber town of Riverwood just wanted to go home. It was a particularly long day as some guy got pisspore drunk at the inn and started a fight. That man was now on his way to Whiterun to spend some time in jail. It was almost time for his shift to be over when he herd the sound of hooves against the stone road. He stood up straight just as a black horse road into town. "Hello kingsman" he told the man rid the horse he recognized as a young Nord. The man on the horse just nodded as he got off his horse and tied it to a post. The man walked into the town and the gard didn't give him a second thought.

The man walked into the inn as he pulled his hood down revealing shoulder length brown hair. He looked around and went to the bar. "Ah good to see you again" the young man behind the bar greeted. "Hey" the man simply said. "One bottle of mead if you will" he asked as he placed a coin on the table. "Comeing right up" the bar man said. After he got his drink the man went and sat at a table and started to drink his drink. "Ah this is what I needed today" he muttered to himself.

(Lilith POV)

Ah Skyrim. The farthest north you can go in Tamreal. My father always told me it was beautiful but I never imagined it like this.

"So what do you think?" My father asked me. "Its magnificent" I said in awe. " Ah I new you would love it" "so were are we off to?" I asked almost to existed. "The city of Whiterun. Its were I met your mother. But before that we are stopping in Riverwood for the night"

After a few hours we arrived in Riverwood. It was a small town with a Blacksmith's, General Store, and an inn. There was also a lumber mill on the river. "Welcome to Riverwood. How can I help you?" a gard asked us. "We are just looking for the inn" my father told the young man. "Just go up the road a bit and it will be on your left" the gard explained " thank you" I said softly. As we entered the inn I was pleasantly surprised on the size. It was large but cozy with a small firepit in the middle of the main room. As we entered I took notice of the people inside. There was a young Nord playing the lute, an old Wood Elf sitting by the fire, and another young Nord sitting at a table. This man in particular caught my attention. He had shoulder length brown hair a nice stubble of a beard and a scar running across his face. He was wearing what looked to be some sort of leather armor. He had a sword strapped to his left side and a dagger on his right. He also had a quiver of arrows and a bow on his back. Overall he was armed. But the one thing that really caught my attention was his eyes. They were Yellow. I have never seen a Nord or any Human with yellow eyes before.

"Lilith I am going to go and get us a room. Why don't you make your self comfortable" my father told me snapping me out off it. "Oh ok I will just find a table" I told him. He nodded and went to rent us a room for the night.

(Ragnar's POV)

What a long fucking day it's been. First I ran into some bandits, then a fucking bear comes charging out off the woods and almost kills my horse, then to top it all off I get attacked by a Dragon. So all I want to do right now is drink some mead, eat, and go to bed.

"Hello" a soft voice said. I look up to se a young Imperial woman. She has brown eyes,and long brown hair. She was wearing a red and blue dress. "Can I help you?" I ask. I got to admit she has some guts to approach someone who is as armed as I am. "What's your name?" she asked me. To be honest I am a little surprised she doesn't know who I am after all I am known all through out Skyrim. "Ragnar" I answered "you?" "my names Lilith. Nice to meet you" she replied. "so what can I do for you?" I ask while taking a sip of my mead. " I just wanted to talk" is all she replied " wait so you don't want to hire me for something?" I ask a little confused. Now she looked a little lost " Why would I want to hire you?" "sorry its just most people who come up and start talking with me usually want something" I explained. She goes to reply when an older Nkrd walks up to here "alright I got us a room for the night" he told the Lilith is what her name was if I remember correctly. "Oh father this is Ragnar right?" "yes. how are you" I ask the old man. "ah my boy just as well as I can" "Well it is getting late a d we need to get up early tomorrow of we want make it to Whiterun in time" The old man explained to his daughter "oh what a coincidence I'm heading to Whiterun myself" I told them.

"oh then why don't you come with us then young man?' the old man asked me " oh I don't want to intrude" I began "Nonsense. Us Nords should stick together after all" he chuckled. I think for s few moments before answering " I think I might just do that" "Great" Lilith almost screamed. "Then it's settled" I told them.

After that we part was with me renting a room for the night and they go into there room.
