Crimson Love
Prologue: The Bad Feeling
Cherri
It's been six months since the invasion of Mehrunes Dagon, and I still love the great sight of the mighty statue of Akatosh's avatar. I still wonder what our great saver, the late Martin felt, when he transformed into the mighty dragon.
They say, there will be no more evil gates, but some scholars at the mages guild say that we shouldn't be so optimistic about the statue, well maybe they're right, but how many times have they looked up and admired the view.
I'm a student of the Mages Guild, I take most of my studies at the Cheydinhal Guild Hall, though once every other month, I go to the Arcane University, usually to give back and take out particular books, that the Cheydinhal Guild Hall don't have or to give in my essays.
You can say, I'm more self taught, "Cherri the little elven bookworm" that's what my tutor tells me. I am one of the best also, top in my class, well in exams, essays and tests. I don't really live at the University like most students do. I have my own house, in Cheydinhal, near the guild and the famous painter Rythe Lythandas. You don't really see him; his wife says he's mostly in his study, nearly everything day.
I feel sorry for her, but today I have a really bad feeling that the new Captain of the Guard, Ulrich Leland, but then Shelley says I worry too much, they all say I worry to much.
Garrus Darelliun
"Another day, another Septim" that's how the expression goes, right? Like it matters, must be something in the wind or I'm not to sure, about my new Captain.
Seems like I'm not the only one, our resident Cute Elf, has a simpler feeling according to the Mages Guild and Shelley. She always seems to have worries on her mind that what makes her clumsy I guess. Well on my rounds, I have seen her, thinking about something, troubling herself with her thoughts and crash she bangs into something, falls over, knocks something over, anyway it does someway reflect her cuteness. I'm not sure how though.
Then again, I don't know anything about, only said a few words to her, asking if she's okay, but I don't really know her name, or the whereabouts of her house. Then if I did know, I feel like a stalker, I guess since she is so innocent and damn cute.
Why is she so cute? Well like I said, I really have a bad feeling about our new town guard, Ulrich Leland, I think his name was. I don't even know where Count Indarys, got him. Where ever Bretons come, maybe?
Well he bet me, in becoming the new Town Guard Captain, poor Garrus Darelliun, stuck again as second in commander, that's what my companies say.
Well maybe I'll be Guard Captain, when my gut is right about something.
