North-West of Helgen

________________________________________

A few hours later the same man and slime can be seen talking to each other although now the man was sitting on a throne.

Talos:"I see. So you are a race called slime and only woke up a few days ago in a cave. Am I getting this right?" He tilts his head towards the slime.

Rimuru:"Yes, I have no memory of what happened before that." The slime says sincerely.

Talos:" Well, now that, that's out of the way. What do I do with you now?" He puts his two fingers on his chin

Rimuru'Oh no, this could go one of two ways and I don't like one of them.' He begins to sweat small slime drops.

Talos" Well since you and I don't know how you got into this world or why, it means that you were put here by a power higher than myself so killing you would be a deathwish."

Rimuru:' Thanks whatever god put me here.' The slime cheers up a little.

Talos" So instead I shall grant you the honor of becoming my champion!" He proudly looks at the slime.

A question mark appears above the slime.

Rimuru:" What does being your champion mean? "

Talos:" It means that I shall grant you a title of my most trusted warrior and shall keep watch over you! " He shows a great smile.

Rimuru:"Ok so what do I gain from it." The sle asks.

Talos:"Well you shall be empowered and will gain my protection. And maybe down the road I shall give you some help every now and then."

Rimuru:"Ok so are there any downsides to becoming your champion?"

Talos:" Other than me requesting your aid every now and then, no not really."

Rimuru:" Ok then I accept." The slime jumps around a bit.

Talos:"Very well, hold still." He sticks out his hand and it starts to glow.

Rimuru begins to feel a strange feeling through him and after a few seconds the feeling dissapears and Talos puts his hand down.

Talos:"That is all. From now on I shall be watching you and may even help you every now and then." He turns around.

Rimuru:"Wait, what did you do to me?!" Talos begins walking away.

Talos:"All in due time. You shall learn it when the time is right." He begins to glow a bright light and dissapears.

Rimuru:" oh f#ck right off!" He begins to scream. "Haah, whatever, I have bigger problems right now." He looks around.

{Notice: It is advised that the master continue down the road and take a right. The master should end up at a village.}

Rimuru:'Well it's a start at least.' He tuns towards the road and begins to jump on it again." Well it's finaly time for the real adventure to begin!"

Outskirts of the town of Riverwood

A small slime is seen hopping his way down the dirt path until he comes at a stop.

{Notice: Hostility detected in the nearby region, it is advised that the host move with caution.}

Rimuru:"Yeah, thanks I noticed." He says as he stands before a pack of 4 wolves that are snarling at him."Uh, Is there maybe a chance that we can talk this over?"

The nearest wolf lunges at him and he quickly jumps to the side and avoids him. "Guess I'll take that as a no, Predator!!" A cloud of smoke leaves the slime and shoots towards the wolf disintegrating it. One wolf attacks him from behind and bites off a chunk of him and he quickly moves away while the other wolf tries to jump at him.

{Warning: damage taken. Health less than half, magica and stamina almost depleted.}

Rimuru:"Well no shit." He jumps high up and turns around mid air."Pradator!" The smoke once again shoots out of the slime and kills the remaining wolves.

{Notice: Master has gained innate skill:Howl(active) and Unique skill:Lycanthrope transformation(active/passive). It is also advised that the master seeks a safe shelter as soon as possible.}

Rimuru:"Huh, why?" He asks before a wave of exhaustion hit him."Wait, why do I feel sleepy? I thought slimes couldn't sleep." He begins to slowly move towards the nearby tree on the side of the road.

{Notice: Beacause of magica and stamina depletion the host will enter a 'shut down' period until both are fully restored.}

Rimuru:"Huh, wait you should have warned me befo..." The slime stops speaking and enters a sleeping state beside the tree.

On the outskirts of Riverwood a horse drawn carraige surrounded by imperial soldiers can be seen going slowly towards the village on a dirt path when it suddenly comes to a halt.

A man inside the carraige can be heard.

???:"Your majesty I still think it is unwise to stop here when we are so close to the village." A man dressed in noble clothes says to a beautiful women while a child is busy exiting the carraige.

???:"Oh please, Firebeard, it will be fine, She just wants to stretch her legs a little.We have been sitting here for hours on end." She looks around a little. "Besides you said it yourself that this should be a wide enough route that the Stormcloaks shouldn't know where we are." The woman says before the child fully exits the carraige and began walking around a bit.

Firebeard:" Ok, your orders your majesty. Just please don't go outside of the soldiers view." He says.

???:" Don't worry I won't." She says before walking a bit away.

Firebeard:"(Sighs) What am I going to do" He says before going back inside the carraige."She has been like this ever since the news of Ulfics capture. I just hope his death brings some sort of relief to her."

??? :"We can only hope, Firebeard after all, she is still young." She looks at the child. "And we all have our own methods to mourn."

A few meters away the child can be seen standing next to a tree looking at something.

??? :"What is that?" She says looking at a small blue blob that is beside the tree. 'What is it?' She slowly approaches it and it starts to jiggle and slowly move away."Wait don't worry I won't harm you."

(Original POV)

Rimuru:'Ok, what the hell happened.' The slime start to jiggle a bit.

{Notice: Stamina, health and magica have all been fully restored.}

Rimuru:'How long have I been out?'

{Notice: 3 hours, 28 minutes and 43 seconds.}

Rimuru:'Oh I see what happenned now, thanks. Well now to address the elephant in the... woods.' He looks towards the little girl towering over him.'Why is there a little girl next to me?' He moves away as she starts getting closer.

??? :"Wait don't move away, I won't harm you." She says in a calming manner. "What are you?" She asks quietly.

Rimuru:"Stay back." He shouts and quickly jumps backwards.

Soldier:"Your majesty are you alright!?" One of the soldiers from the carraige a little ways behind her asks.

??? :"Don't worry I'm fine." She shouts to the guard before looking back at the slime."Don't worry I won't hurt you."

She slowly approaches the slime.

??? :" What are you?"

Rimuru:"Why would I tell you when I don't even know you?" He says still a bit wary of her.

???:"Oh sorry I haven't even introduced myself." She lifts up the sides of her dress slighty and bows. "My name is Alice and I am the daughter of the last high king of Skyrim."

Rimuru:"High king? Skyrim? What's that?" The slime asked.

Alice:" Oh you don't know? Skyrim us the country we are currently in and the high king is the one who rules it." She says happily before suddenly becoming sad. "My father was the high king until recently. He was killed by someone who wanted to take his place."

Rimuru:'Well shit. Probably shouldn't drag this topic out.' The slime thinks before thinking of something."Hey you asked whatI was right? Well since you answered my question how about I answer yours." The slime says in a happy voice.

Alice becomes excited yet again and egerly answers.

Alice:"Ok, so what are you?"

Rimuru:"I am what people would call a slime." He bounces around a little.

Alice:"A slime? Are you some sort of animal?"She asks.

Rimuru:" Truth be told I don't really know. I think I may be a type of monster."

Alice:"Monster? Wait you're not going to do anything to me are you?"She backs up a little.

Rimuru:" Well if you don't harm me then I see no reason to."

Alice:" Oh thanks goodness." She says and sighs with relief.She then asks "So do you have any place you have to go?"

Rimuru:"Not really." He says before becomming sad ."I have nowhere to go and no-one to talk to."

Alice sees how he has become and feeling guilty she quickly tries to change the subject but struggles.

Alice:"Ah, Well, uh, I wonder what you feel like." She suddenly says in panic.

Rimuru:"What I feel like? Why would you wonder that?" A question mark appears above his head.

Alice:"Uh, Well I was wondering how it would feel to hold you. I mean you do have a strange look."

Guard:"Your majesty, it is time to leave." One of the guards says from behind.

Alice:"Coming!" She says as she turns back to the slime."Well, since you have no where to go how about you come with us?" She says with a smile.

Rimuru:"Are you sure I can? I'm 100% positive your guards wouldn't allow me near you." He says looking at the heavily armed guards surrounding the carriage."And I'm also sure whoever is inside the carriage would not like me."

Alice:"Don't worry, they won't harm you while you're close to me. Besides I have my ways of convincing mother." She smiles and sticks her hands out.

Rimuru:'Well I don't have anywhere else to go. Well what have I got to lose.' He looks at her. "Ok, I'll take you up on that offer." He jumps into her arms.

Alice:"Strange. It's like water that stays in one place." She squishes him a bit and starts to walk towards the carraige.

Rimuru:' Well, now I have no idea what's gonna happen next' He looks up at her. "My name is Rimuru Tempest. It's a pleasure to be traveling with you."

Alice:"It's nice to meet you Rimuru, I hope you enjoy your trip."They both laugh a bit and she continues walking.
