Narrissa

Dear Diary,

Hello! My name is Narrissa. I am a Bosmer. Humans call us Wood Elves. I am female, I stand 5'9", weigh 95 pounds, and have blonde hair. I am also obsessive compulsive.

I do not write all of this to you from the comforts of my own home. In stead, I write this in a small, dank cell in the Imperial Prison. Why am I here? I don't know. All I know is what the captain of the guard told me. I woke up in an inn with several guards standing guard. I was brought to the Imperial Prison, and the captain of the guard told me my name was Narrissa, I was obsessive compulsive, and that I was twenty seven. He then told me that I would have to pay for my crimes, and said I would serve four years.

So here I am in a cell with a sweet Dunmer girl. Her name is Vloundo. She is nineteen, and has been in here for nine months. She was from Cheydinhal. She said that she was framed, and she didn't commit any other crime than adultery. Whether she's actually telling the truth or not, I don't know.

There is a Kajiit at the end of the hall on our side. When the guards brought me down, I saw him go through a martial arts pattern, for some reason, it partially seemed familiar to me. Was I a martial artist?

Anyways, there was also another Dunmer across the cell from the Kajiit. He gave me an uncomfortable look. I don't like him.

In the cell next to ours is a Nord. He hasn't said a word, so far. He seems very big, but even after I ask him his name, he pretends not to hear me. I don't know why.

The guards are coming to take our diaries now. I don't know why they gave us diaries.

Dear Diary,

There are some new people in here. In the cell with the Nord, is a sweet High Elf named "Shifty". He is tall, handsome, and laid back. He is nothing like most of the Altmer I've ever met. Vloundo seems to lose her breath whenever he does anything that shows his surprisingly huge muscles. I've heard talk he was connected with the Blades.

In the cell across from Shifty is a Redguard named Kurtis. He is mild mannered, funny, but is a little too racy, I think. He also attacks the Kajiit Ka-Zoid's religious beliefs more often then anybody should, even though I am not very devout to the Nine. He doesn't write in his diary at all, like the quiet Nord next to us.

Then, there is also Elsie. She is a Breton. She shows off her magic too much, I think. Like most Breton Mages, she is very proud, something that is against everything that I think is right. She does not get along with most anybody here but me, unfortunately.

Lastly is Harven Reuben. He is a very handsome Imperial, in shape, kind, and is a gentleman. I think he likes me. I like him, too. He was a guard for Kvatch. I know that he doesn't have any family left alive, poor dear. I don't know how he got in here though, I'm going to have to ask him.

Oh, diary. You should hear what kind of funny mix of people we have on our block! Here, I'll write it all down for you.

"Fuck!" shouted Shifty.

Everyone was quiet for a moment, then Harven said, "All right, I'll bite. What the fuck?"

"The damn ceiling's leaking! Right over my favorite place to sit." Shifty complained.

"So, I'm getting rained on, too." Ka-Zoid said in his scratchy Kajiit voice.

"Well yeah, but you're going through your moves. You stay warm." Shifty reasoned.

"Then you should move, too." Ka-Zoid offered.

"But I'm comfortable here." Shifty replied.

"Well then, what are you complaining about?" Harven asked.

"Well, it's obviously getting less comfortable here! And now it's uncomfortable." Shifty complained.

"Then get up and move!" Vloundo spoke up.

"To where?"

"Does it really matter where? It's a prison." Kurtis chimed in.

"Yeah." Reuben said, half chuckling. "It's supposed to be that way."

"Fuck!"

Dear Diary,

I am free! Ka-Zoid, me, and Harven are all free. Released by the emperor himself!

Ka-Zoid went off to hunt bandits, but promised us he would find each of us later on.

Harven and I are staying in the Tiber Septim Inn! Harven bought the room, and now he's out selling all of our loot. He'll be coming back with wine and delicious food. He told me to stay in the room and relax. So, I'm writing in you.

When he gets back, we will eat, then we will make love.

Where should I start?

Well, today during rec., we were told to get into a cell. Among the pushing and the shoving, I was pushed into Harven's cell. The door was shut before I could get out.

Then, a man wearing extravagant robes entered the block. He had three of what I think were his personal guards follow right behind him.

He stopped in front of our cell, and one of the guards didn't seem to be happy to see us. It seemed we were put in the wrong cell. It was to late, she decided.

We were lined up against the back wall of the cell, and it was only then I noticed Harven in salute. So was Ka-Zoid. I quickly stood at attention, and saluted the gray haired man.

They then proceeded to the bunks, and the gray haired Imperial stopped and looked at Harven. He then said he had seen his face in a dream. He then revealed that he was the Emperor!

After the impatient female pushed a stone in the wall, and the bunks started opening and revealing that the entire section of the wall was a concealed door!

We were invited to follow, and we did. After a little while of walking, we were attacked by assassins. The female was slain almost instantly.

The assassins were killed, but then we were told that we could not follow the emperor, and were told to turn around after the party went through a locked door.

Discouraged, we turned to go back to our cell, when a wall collapsed and we found a cave behind it.

After exploring the cave, we were well equipped, and had dealt with several different kinds of beasts.

We went over another collapsed wall, and saw the royal party arguing about their next move.

Several more assassins appeared. I took one down with my bow. He took four shots! He was tough!

We rejoined the party, and the emperor decided we had to follow them. We did, and after a while, we walked into a trap.

The emperor was killed, and, so was another Blade.

Harven showed the last blade an amulet the emperor gave to him before he died. The Blade told Harven to bring it the Grandmaster of the Blades.

He let us leave via the sewers, and we parted ways. Ka-Zoid swam across lake Rumare to hunt bandits. Harven and I went up to the Imperial City. Tomorrow, he will deliver the amulet.

And here I am, waiting.
