//------------------------------// // Day 1 - Darn Bosmers // Story: Friend of the Nerevarine // by DVAN56 //------------------------------// Wait...you want to hear my tale! Why the hell do you want to hear about my adventures? I mean they are crazy. I'm talking about stuff that crazier then what comes out of a druggy that lace Hack-Lo leaves with Moon Sugar before smoking it. What!? You still want to hear it. Ugg, fine pull up a chair and gather round, but fair warning this is going to be one crazy, but true tale. – Day1(Darn Bosmers) It all began when I first came to Vvardenfell, in the port town of Seyda Neen. I was a prisoner my entire life up to that point for a crime I still don't know anything about. I'm pretty sure it was made up to keep me a prisoner. For some reason Emperor Uriel thought it was a great idea release me. However I learned that my release was not from the goodness of papa Uriel's heart. For some reason he want me, a Dunmer prisoner with almost no knowledge or skill of the outside world, to work for him. However I had little choice in the matter, being a prisoner an all. The guard overseeing my release gave me a package and told me to take it to a man called Caius, in the City of Balmora. The package was nothing more then an encrypted letter. They also gave me a hundred septims and a small guide on how to get to Balmora from Seyda Neen. I got one step out of the office an I knew it was going to be a long day. Almost immediately I run into a Bosmer that was a little off. I heard him mumble something about how the Imperials stole his ring but I didn't say for the details. I went to the local trade-house and used the septims to buy me some food, a simple longsword and a Cuirass. The trader told me that it was as strong as the iron but lighter. Like the fool I was back then I bought it without a second thought, spending the last of my septims thinking it was a good deal. As I left the trade-house I heard someone shouting. It was that Bosmer from before. The look of anger was spread a crossed his face. “YOU HAVE MY RING!” he yelled as he started to charge after me. I had no idea what he was talking about but I wasn't about to find out. I ran out of that town as fast as I could. The guards just stood and watched the whole thing play out. I even think a few were laughing at me. Outrunning the crazed Bosmer was easy, however I did not pay attention to where I was going. I was still on the road, or more properly the dirt path. However I didn't know if I was on the right one. It split coming out of town and I turned left. Stopping I took out that guide I was given. The first words were “Take the right path out of Seydan Neen.” Not even an hour here and I’m already going the wrong direction. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” The sound of someone screaming started to come from above me, but before I could look up I heard it thumb on the ground along with the unpleasant sounds of bones breaking and squishy parts being, well squished. In front of me on the ground now lays a dead Bosmer is a fancy robe and an awesome cone shaped fur hat. That hat was calling to me, begging for me to wear it. It was almost hypnotizing and I found myself leaning over to grab it. I put it on my head and a swear for a moment I understood the meaning of life. If only I could remember what it was without the hat. However it was not meant to be. I soon heard another scream as feminism as the first. It was ether going to be another Bosmer or a woman. I looked up to see something small and purple, yes purple, falling from the say. Lucky for it, it landed in a swampy pond just a few yards from the path. However what it was was totally unexpected. From the swampy waters came out a small purple unicorn. It walked a few feet out of the water then fell onto its side. At the time I didn't know what a unicorn was and I approached cautiously. As I got closer I noticed it was bleeding on its side. The wound was bad, blood was pouring out. The only thing I had on me was a sword, a piece of armor, my clothes, and the hat. Without thinking twice I pulled that hat off my head and pressed it on the wound to try and stop the bleeding. What happened next only proved how awesome that hat was. Their was a quick flash of light and within moments the wound started to heal before my eyes. The unicorn also started to wake up. I took a step back giving her some room as she stood up. She looked at me and it was easy to tell she was as curious about me as I was of her. What I didn't expect was for her to talk. “Um, hello” she said nervously. “Hello. Umm.....the bleeding stopped” I said. I didn't have anything else to say and I wasn't quite up to date on how to act around others at the time. “What?” she was clearly puzzled by my remark. “You were bleeding real bad on your side. The hat made it stop.” I said showing her the blood soaked hat. She then looked at her side and her eyes went wide. She then started looking around the area frantic as she looked for something. Something that would turn out to be very important to her. After a moment of her going in circles she looked up into the trees. She had passed through one during her fall. As she looked I saw a tears start to come to her eyes. Her horn started to glow and in moment she had brought down from the tree the item she had been looking for. Her wing.
