This is the story of the insane wood elf "Tiki" (I tend to name my created characters after characters prominent in my mind from other games, although personality changes greatly. To this day, I have… 13 different refias across 13 different games. I don't know. I just like the name!) (Oh yeah, did I mention Lydia's PoV is prominent? Got this idea from TheFantasyNerd (if you read this, sorry if you don't want me taking your idea… )) I OWN NOTHING. If I owned elder scrolls, we'd have an all of tamriel game now.
Lydia looked around dragons reach for something to do. She thought "I'm going to go stir-crazy if I don't find something to d-"
That's when the door opened, a young wood elf rushing in, knocking over a guard, who continued to spew information about bandits at some cave. The elf then tripped up the stairs, landing face first 5 inches away from the fire. She quickly got up, then walked straight through the fire, talking to irileth and being sent up to the jarl, who asked her "why have you come here miss…?"
The elf looked up at him and said "my names Tiki milord, and I bring terrible news. A dragon attacked helgen! The woman at the lumber mill in riverwood says to ask you for soldiers to protect the town! She fears riverwood's next, as the closest place to helgen!"
"Did you see this dragon?"
"Sure did. Had a great view as the headsman's axe was in between me and the dragon, for a second or two, then he, the dragon, I mean, let out… this… wave of force, and the headsman was knocked over, and so he saved my life, although it then tried to kill me, along with the rest of helgen."
Quick to change the subject, the jarl considered "alright. I'll send soldiers. But first, will you help us with something?"
"Sure milord! Just a warning though; I'm bat crap crazy. I'm just on an adrenaline rush right now, from a bear attacking me. The crazy'll be back soon. Can I take a moment to eat possibly?"
"Sure… although… if your as insane as you say, we may want to seek help elsewhere…"
"Don't worry milord. I'm reliable, just crazy! Also, would you like to say hi to Mr. Jenkins?" Tiki asked, pulling a troll skull from her bag.
"No… thank you."
Tiki walked to the table and sat down next to Lydia, who noticed she wore ill fitting clothes seemingly of a bandit, although blood stained, as if taken from a bandit's corpse, not through any affiliation with the vile criminals. She also had an iron shield on her left arm, as well as an iron sword at her waist. Tiki noticed Lydia and said "hi miss! Do you want to see what a troll skull looks like if you wear it as a hat?"
Lydia reacted quickly, trying not to gape at the girl, who seemed to be as she had said 'bat crap crazy' "no, I'd rather not see a troll skull hat…"
"Aw." Tiki groaned as she bit into a sweetroll "by the divines that tastes good! Oh, did you know that some bandits along the road from helgen to riverwood have an iron mining operation? Well, had. I killed them all. They had a lot of iron ingots and stuff. Made my sword and shield myself."
"Then what did you kill them with?"
"Flames."
"Ah."
"You're pretty."
"Uhm… thanks?"
As Tiki finished eating, she walked to farengar who sent her on her way to bleak falls barrow, with the remark "we won't see her for a while, if ever again… probably a blessing."
