I will call you Son
Author's notes: The main characters were created in a roleplay, named The Tides of War –part II. They were created by Moriji and I took one of them under my wings. Together we gave them life. Now I will tell their tale, starting from my character. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Elder Scrolls or any of the characters from the games.
Introduction
Three nights they had kept him. He had screamed for hours as he felt his body transform. His mind drifting between nightmare and consciousness, the images that filled his head nearly drove him insane; blood and death were all he saw. When he finally woke, his world had changed and the memories of his previous life were vague. His mortal life was over.
But I remember the stars; they had lighted my path home. Home, the place where she had been.... She was beautiful, with her long brown hair, curling upon her shoulders, her deep green eyes. Her name--why can I not remember her name?
His body rose from the cold stone beneath him. White eyes looked at him, and his body responded to their will. He was driven by instinct which was slowly consuming his soul.
I never spoke to her, I was always too afraid. I just looked at her from a distance. I should have spoken to her.
Hands pushed against him, pushed him forward until his feet touched the ground.
"Thesper..."
He opened his eyes and turned his head into the direction of the voice. He recognised the sound and a shiver went up his spine. The nightmare passed and his eyes adjusted to the darkness that surrounded him, and he saw he was in a cave, sitting on a stone bed. Two shadows stood near him, looking at him, grinning; they were already mocking him.
"My son..." the voice continued.
Words escaped from Thesper's mouth and he was surprised by their sound: his voice was changed, it sounded lower and more like the growl of a beast.
"Yes, Father?" he asked the creature before him.
He heard the words and understood. Five years ago he had lost his father, now he had a new one.
