Son of Thrylos

By Sam

Chapter One

Whiterun

Ither was not a capable warrior. He could hold his own in a battle, but he was no warlord. So when he discovered his talent with one handed weapons, he began making fortunes by fulfilling bounties on the numerous pesky bandits that populated the plains and caves of Whiterun. He married of his own species, Argonian, and had a son, which he named Mas.

Mas was the opposite of his father in almost all ways. He was bone thin, whereas his father was muscular. He was skilled with the bow, and good with one handed weapons. He was shy, but sarcastic. He deeply loved his father, however, his father did not return most of it. When his father was captured by a bandit chief and murdered, Mas went berserk, and went into the cave.

He slaughtered every bandit the chief sent his way. When the entire bandit gang was slaughtered, the chief tried to reason, but was answered with a steel arrow in the face. Retrieving the sword of his father, which had been nicknamed "Pisgsticker" by a guard in Whiterun, he returned home, and claimed the 100 gold from the steward.

Mas went on to be an excellent hunter, and became even more rich than his father. He had three children, although all but one were killed by a bandit raid in Whiterun. Driven to the edge by the death of his two daughters, he became the best father he could for his son, Thrylos.

Mas made his final mistake when he got in the way of Lord Harkon, a vampire lord, and was forcefully turned into a vampire himself. Banishing himself to Solsthiem, he spent the last three days of his life with hunters. He was killed by a Netch, along with the rest of the hunters, a day before Thrylos and his mother Shavee arrived on Solsthiem.

Driven mad with grief, the 19 year old Thrylos became a serial killer, methodically murdering over 14 people before joining the Dark Brotherhood. He kept this a secret from his wife and son, Ekdikisi. Thrylos was killed by the Companions, who found his crimes and secrets.

Ekdikisi ran away from home at the age of 14. He spent a year living with hunters, and attempted to cross the border with them. Caught in the ambush on Ulfric Stormcloak, he was driven away in the cart that would start his adventures…
