My name is Syther, I'm a pureblood vampire. My family is the first, our mother was born an angel but was cursed for disobeying most of the elders, so the vampires were created. This is my story of the century in Skyrim and how I found my love.
Drawing my sword as quietly as possible, watching the sabre from the bushes. It knows I'm here, the thing's staring into my eyes, deep growls echoes around me as I realise I'm surrounded. Fuck being quite, ripping the sword loose I run at the one infront of me. Ramming the blade through it's jaw while sinking my fangs deep in her throat, tearing the sword free I see my next target and throw my sword deep in its head, then the third hits me, pinning me down. When the slashes tear into the left side of my face, I lose my left eye. Blood poured into my mouth as I punch through its ribcage and fry the bastard's heart. When I get free of its corpse, I'm surrounded by six imperial archers. For fuck sake.
Sitting in the cart with the other prisoners, hands and feet bound as well as being gagged, blindfolded and have two guards swords at my neck, I sense something old, almost as old as my race. Dragon, and it's following us at a distance. How bloody embarrassing, firstly being half blinded by a sodding sabre then getting caught by six gia damned humans, now I'm going to be eaten by a mother fucking dragon, I'm glad my brother is not here.
When we leave the tree line my blood begins to boil as the sun hits my skin. I hate being so young. The sun hurts us pure-blooded vampires when we are young, doesn't kill us just hurts like hell until we build our resilience or we find shade. The cart starts slowing down, when it stops one by one we're all draged out of the cart, lined up and they take the other names. All they say about me is monster. I'm pushed forward and the blindfold is removed. The old man in front of me looks me over with a perversion I have seen thousands of times over. As he sneers at me, I start laughing at him. Angrily he removes the gag. "Would you like to share what's so funny? We could all use a good laugh."
"I was thinking about how if you touch me, how much you would scream when I rip your bollocks of and ram them down your throat. Then maybe you would choke and I'll walk out of this town as free as a bird. Ha ha."
He turned red with rage then. Shoving me down onto the block he screams for my head. Then the dragon roars, landing on the nearest tower. Spewing fire it burns most of the guards present to ashes in moments and the ropes on my feet burn aswell. Bouncing to my feet, I start running through the choas. People dying all around me, men women and children it's all the same to the dragon. As I take cover behind a wall, I notice a war axe near me. When I've cut the leathers off my wrists I grab the axe and charge forward towards the gate. Archers start firing at me, taking carful aim I throw the axe at the middle one. Falling the otherside of the gate taking his bow and arrows with him. Cursing a storm I throw a fire ball at the gate creating an explosion, destroying the gate. I run through the hole left behind grabbing the weapons on the way past.
When I stop running I can no longer hear the screams, either the dragons killed them all or they've escaped which I doubt. Taking stock of the arrows and the bows condition, sixteen arrows and the box poor quality, the axe is the best condition but still has nicks the size of saw teeth. I need to get new amour and a sword, not to mention I need to feed soon and I need a glass eye now. Gia it's never easy.
I start walking along the covered path, my feeding problem is answered when I hear growling behind me. As the wolf stalks forward, I drop into my battle stance mirroring the wolfs movements, the only sound that can be heard is the wolfs growls. Before it can launch I spring forward, grabbing it's muzzle and forcing my fangs deep, drinking its blood till its death. Afterwards the sounds of armoured people come crashing through the woods. Hopefuly theres a woman in the group, afterall free swords are better then stealing them, then having to run that night. Stalking towards the group, I instantly smell the woman. Looks like it's my lucky day well apart from the sabre's taking my eye. Another stroke of luck hits when I notice the sun setting and the group looking for a place to camp. No way can I be this lucky.
An hour later and the only light is from their fire, two are asleep while the third's in the bush below me. Dropping from the trees branches silently, creeping up to the first one, I tear my axe blade across his throat. Then the other male sits up and I throw my axe in to his head. The woman almost stands up until I punch her back down, pinning her down by her throat. She lies there gasping for breath. Then I rip out her wind pipe.
Going through their gear, they have three swords and crossbows, and shields with a sun crest were the boss. The woman has throwing knives and a deadra bow with a full quiver of arrows and her armour fits perfectly. Still rummaging around in her pocket I find orders to go and investigate some ruins with vampire concerns, the order who gave the orders was called the Dawnguards. Wonder if all their troops are this stupid and weak. Strapping the knives to my arms and the quiver to my back, two of the swords one on each hip and carrying the bow I continue down the path for a few hours.
When I reached the little village called Riverwood I head towards the inn. As I approach the man behind the counter, he looks me over taking in my beauty and my injured eye. "How much for a room sir, and maybe some rags?"
"Ten gold for the room and I'll sort out some clean cloths for your injuries."
"Thank you sir. Here you go." He nods his respects and leads me to my room and leads me to my room. When he leaves I sigh in relief, taking the helmet and weapons off and putting them on the bed. Then a knock on the door alerts me to a lady at the door, she's alright looking might try my look for a night. "Some of those look painful miss and on a body so young. I can get you some undergarments to go under that armour if you'd like? Only an extra coin." She says putting the bowl of water and the cloths. "Yes please and I'll give you ten extra if you help me clean my eye socket and get me a fine string of leather and a patch?"
"Instead of making an eye patch, how about I get you one? And believe it or not it's cheaper as well. Would you like sewing up as well?"
"I didn't know its that bad. I can do the sewing part, but cleaning eye sockets always have weirded me out. And yes I'll take the patch as well please."
"OK let's start on you socket. How did this happen, if you dont mind me prying?" She asks using one of the clean cloths to clean the dried blood from the left side of my face. I wince as she catches a flap of skin.
"No its no secret. I got ambushed by three sabres and one tore out my eye before I could kill it. It died moments later when I fried its heart." I hiss again when she touches the middle slash.
"You're just lucky you had magic behind you. I've heard of them taking out groups of five and six men, and that's just one, let alone three of the beasts. You're lucky it's only an eye you lost. There you go, all cleaned up. Now to stich you up. How did you get these on your right cheek?" She asks threading the needle preparing to start stiching the left side of my face together.
"Oh, that was done by a blood dragon me and my brother were hunting. I was just lucky the rock was in the way. I would have lost my head otherwise. Hey, I know this is a strange question but does anyone sell katanas round here? I know the vampires are the best at making them, but I was hoping to find one."
"You could try Whiterun they have a sky-forge there and if you have your own steel, they'll let you make them for free. So long as you know how to fold the steel."
"Really that's good to know, anything else there. Do you know where the moldering ruins are? I need to find them to investigate some rumours I've heard."
"Hold on I'll get you a map. I hope you've hid the bodies of those Dawnstar soldiers well. Don't worry I won't shop you in. There you go all stiched up."
"Thank you, I'll make sure the purebloods know your loyalty over the Dawnstar soldiers. No need to worry about the bodies the wolves would have eaten them by now." I say handing her fifteen gold coins. "Thanks for the company, the Imperials were not this friendly in their hospitality. I think they wanted my head for a plaque." With this she nods at me, picking up the bloody cloths and the bowl of water. After she left I lay on the bed and sleep through till dawn.
