Alone (Chapter 1)
By: EvilMage
Smoke filled my lungs as I stood to my feet. Hoping that what had just happened was a nightmare. I heard a faint voice calling me, "Dragonborn wake up you have rested long enough." "Who dares waking me up?" "Dragonborn it is me Mara The goddess of love."Why do you wake me Daedric Princess of love?" "There is a new threat to Tamriel." How long has it been since I killed Alduin?" "Dragonborn that has been two hundred years ago, you have been asleep quite awhile." "I will take care of this…..only under one condition though." Tell me your terms Dragonborn." I wish my wife Scarlet, and my daughter Serenity be brought back as well." "I am sorry to tell you this Dragonborn, but I cannot do this, you may get married again though." "No me, my wife, and daughter were fine in Sovengarde living our afterlives. I will not cheat on her." I looked at my wife and daughters graves which were beside mine. I opened the lids to the coffin and neither of them where in the coffin's.
"Mara you tell me where they are you basterd and you tell me now!" "They were awaken by Sithis, he has started to take over Tamriel, and his followers are the Dark Brotherhood." "So you mean to tell me that Sithis is taking over Tamriel, and there is not a thing you can do about it." "Sad to say but yes and only you can stop them, go and seek Brynjolf." "You mean the Thieves guild leader?" "Yes he can tell you everything you need to know." I searched the chest beside my grave which was supposed to have everything that I earned throughout my life. "What in Oblivion, where is my armor and swords. Blasted bandits, they must still be here from the looks of things there are just two." As soon as I turned the corner there they were, one had his back facing me that was my chance. I quickly bolted towards him snapping his neck as I was unsheathing his weapon I spun and slit the second bandit's neck making not one sound. I looted both body's but yet neither of them had my things. I threw on the fur outfit one had and I made a bag out of the others cloths. The only weapon they had was an old wooden bow, thirteen arrows, and a small iron dagger. I tied the dagger to the front of my armor and put the bow and arrows in the quilt and I walked out of the crypts. The nearest town was Riften so that's where I headed. I followed a stone road until I came upon a burnt city, the post said welcome to Riften I Saw Brynjolf looking over the body of Sapphire Crying. "Brynjolf what happened here?" "Zack, Is that you it's impossible I went to your funeral, I saw you die by the hands of the greybeards." "Mara told me what happened and brought me back." "The dark brotherhood they burned this place to the ground" Brynjolf sold as a tear ran down his face. All of a sudden an arrow flies and hits Brynjolf between the eyes, I turned around and there was my wife standing there with a bow with a black aurora coming off of it.
