A/n This is an idea I've had floating around for a while now

Prologue

I am Drake Vallion It's been four years since I arrived in Tamriel specifically Skyrim my brother Ren has Since gone his separate way once more though I feel we will meet again and I have semi-settled in a town called river wood I bunk with the local blacksmith I help in the forge and protect the town from bandits and in exchange I get a warm bed to sleep in It's a nice life till one day I met her.

"Hey Drake check out the newcomer" came Alvar's voice as I turned to see who he was talking about I saw a young lady about 25 years old headed through town she was a dark elf and admittedly cute with her long black hair in a ponytail oddly enough she had blue eyes and a soft yet excited face she wore brown green and black leather armor and had an interesting looking sword by her side. "Almost to bleakfalls barrow" came her excited voice a look of concern crossed my face. "Hold milady!" I called out and she turned to face me and gave me an odd look "what do you want?" she asked curiously "bleakfalls barrow is crawling with bandits and who knows what else"I said "I know" she said ", but I have a job given to me by the Jarl to retrieve something from there" I sighed "Can at least persuade you to take me with you?" I asked. She seemed to think it over and replied "sure the more the merrier!" in that excited tone.

I looked to Alvar "go on boy you need to get out and explore find this destiny your pa told you of cause you ain't gonna find it here." "Alright Alvar I'll get my stuff together and say my farewells to Sigrid and Dorthe and if you see Hadvar tell him I said goodbye" I then turned to face the young dark elf and saw her tapping her foot "alright I'll be ready in about half an hour, by the way my name is Drake Vallion" I said as I held out my hand "my name is Vahl Aradur pleasure to have you on this adventure"

2 hours later

I had donned my old attire my favorite trench coat enchanted to be indestructable than most types of armor a set of unique ebony armor as it was as light as leather and looked more like clothes my sword which has a long silver looking blade a purple winged cross guard and an small orange gem inlaid in the middle of the cross guard the handle having a purple and green appearance and my bow with 4 quivers worth of elven arrows. "sorry it took so long Vahl took me a while to find some of my old stuff and the arrows I made myself" she looked at me with a smile and said "no problem you look nice by the way" "Vahl" I said "my goal is survival not—" "AWHOOOOOOO" came a howl interrupting me.

"Wolfs?" Vahl asked "No not wolves at least not regular wolves" I said "Vahl get inside the Inn" I said a stern tone creeping into my voice. "I can fight to!" she said "I know but most of the people in the inn can't" I pointed out. This seemed to reach her as she ran towards the inn. "AWHOOOOOOO" came the howl again as a giant white wolf creature came running down the mountain through the gate. I drew the master sword and I got into a combat stance 'white wolfos why are they here' as the creature swung its massive clawed paw at me I barely ducked under it. 'Damn its fast' I swung my blade in an overhead swing but it used its armored forepaws to block it and slashe at me then it slammed into me with its tail and sent me flying. I let out a groan of pain and felt something wet on my stomach and legs I was bleeding badly "damn I've gotten rusty" I groaned out as the wolfos pounced on me and prepared to end me when I heard a girls voice scream "Drake no" as a blur of orange and green whooshed by me and I heard the Wolfos howl in pain "hold still" came another voice as a green and yellow glow washed over me as I felt my energy restored and my wounds close.

I heard then heard the other girl shout "HIYAAA" and the wolfos death cry as I got up I saw who had helped me the one who killed the Wolfos was a young looking girl that had long shoulder length orange hair an outfit similar to my blacksmiths clothes fair skin and a eight of about 5'5" with green eyes and a large recently bloodied steel battle-axe. "nice job Poet" came the other voice as I looked up to see who had healed me I saw a face I hadn't seen in four years she too had green eyes with long brownish red hair tied in a ponytail a pink tunic and skirt with white leggings with a staff in her hands and there was a bit of chainmail poking out from her shirt sleeves she also had a familiar circular shield

"Lily?" I asked? "You remember me then?" I nodded and she smiled hugging me "it's been to long Drake" I nodded again as I was still stunned. "Hey Lily who's the other girl?" I asked her, "that's poet she's a tinker also pretty handy with that axe of hers" Lily said "okay" I said "so what about the staff?" I asked pointing to her hands "I have taken up the healing arts so nothing like what happened in that cave ever happens again" I then turned and hugged poet in thanks as I did I noticed a blush form on her cheeks but thought nothing of it "thank you both."

Poet's POV

'he's kinda cute' I thought as we heard the door of the inn open and a dark elf girl came out ran towards him and hugged him and my heart sank a little "Drake are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine Vahl" he said "thanks to these two" drake continued pointing at me and Lily "who are they?" she asked. "This is Lily Hamano an old friend from my home and this is Poet –" "Arrior" I said finishing for him "nice to meet you" Vahl said. "My name is Vahl Aridur."

Drake's POV

After everyone was introduced we went into the inn "sorry Vahl" I said "Its getting dark and the roads get even more treacherous at night." "It's okay" she said " It can't be helped. "We'll just spend the night here and set off at morning." "Where you are going off to" Poet and Lily asked "for now bleakfalls barrow" "then let us join you" Lily said as I left to go to change into my night clothes I could still hear the conversation "no that's out of the question" Vahl said "I thought you said the more the merrier" I shouted from the other room "fine" Vahl said as I returned. "okay ladies we have a big day tomorrow and we all need our shut eye I've paid for all of us to spend the night here but they only had two rooms which means were gonna have to sleep in pairs." I said "Vahl you and Lily get one room me and Poet will be in the other any objections. They shook their heads in response though I noticed another blush creeping onto Poets face. 'She looks so cute when she blushes' we then went to our respective rooms and turned in for the night "goodnight Poet" I whispered as I felt her breathing slow down next to me and we faded into sleep.
