I find myself in a cell of some prison. I don't remember getting here. I do remember that If I wanted an adventure that I should head for Lordran. Great start to any adventure.
A glint shines in the prisoner's eye, he scrambles for it. Turns out that it's a rusted key, could be some previous prisoner spent their life creating this. Trying the cell's door he managed to pry it open.
The smell of decay and madness is heavy in the air, it makes you sick but you are unable to vomit. It seems that from the time you got here that hunger seems unimportant, as though the air you breathe gives you all that you need.
"Hello." Said the prisoner pointlessly to some decaying people banging and stood almost motionless against the walls and bars both inside and out of cells.
A fate worse than death itself. I must get out of here.
The prisoner gets to the end of the corridor of cells. Everything gets more potent and noticeable; the sounds, smells and that ever deathly presence gets stronger with each stride. The prisoner reaches a courtyard area with a big set of doors. Pushing them open he marvels at the sight, an even bigger courtyard, with a bigger set of doors at the other end. Walking up to it a crash is heard from behind. Turning to see a massive fat monster holding a bell looking hammer it hits the prisoner.
The hammers head is as big as the prisoner, the sheer speed and strength drags the prisoner through the air. Flying through the air he knocks into a pillar at the other end of the courtyard. Finding himself he sees the hammers shadow, looking up he quickly dodges out of the way. Hurt but still able to move somehow. I guess pain doesn't affect you here as it does back home. Hurts but nothing is broken. Running past the monster he tries for the doors again only to fail. Looking around to see what he could use to defeat or flee his eyes stop at a doorway just to the right of him. Running for it the hammer just misses him as bars drop down- no going back.
Reaching a narrow corridor an arrow brushes past him. Looking forward he sees a rotten man firing arrows at him, blinded by decay. Sound, he's firing at the sound. Running to the archer in a zig-zag manor reaches the archer and grabbing the arrow turns it on the archer. Taking the bow and the remaining arrows he hoists it over his shoulder. Around the corner he finds himself overlooking the first courtyard. Going up he is hit by a boulder that knocks him back. Another decayed man leaps on him throwing punches here and there, missing most of the time. The prisoner manages to throw his attacker off him and down the rest of the stairs.
Finding himself he turns to ready himself but sees a limping soldier finishing off the attacker with ease.
"Here is where you learn to fight. I'm weak beyond healing and death is near for me. Not much of an adventurer but I see potential in you. Perhaps you are the one to free Lordrans misery."
"I can fight, it's this place everything is stronger than what I'm used to. My father killed the false king and sacrificed himself to save us."
"Your father sounds like the hero this place will make you. Here take my sword and armour and shield, use it to get too Lordran. Once there give it to Thea, she will know what to do. Also take this, it's not much but the Estus Flasks could save you."
"Ok. Thanks. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Save us. Take my soul, it will grant you power."
With that the Soldier fell back against the wall and faded away, a stream of light grasped at the Prisoners right hand, burning it. Backtracking up the stairs and through a gate an ambush of three decayed flourished at him ineffectively. Using the gifted sword he swung at them which were also ineffective. Backing up I stab at them, this proved more effective. With the ambush dealt with a fog dissipated revealing an overlooking balcony to the second courtyard.
Seems the only way I'm going to get through that door is through this monster.
With that the Prisoner leapt into the air way above the monster below and readied his weapon. The sword pierced the monster the impact caused the Prisoner to let go of the weapon after the hilt almost disappeared into the monsters shoulder. On the ground that hammer fell down hard in anger and pain but missed the Prisoner as he rolled to the side. The attack didn't just finish their, the monster dragged the hammer across the ground and caught the off-guard Prisoner tossing him through the air. Feeling himself for any injury- seriously what's up with this place? My bones should be broken down into dust by now, it's not as though I'm invincible. – nothing, staggered by the blow the monster ran headstrong towards him with the hammer dragging behind. Seeing an opening the Prisoner readied himself taking a sprinting stance. Like clockwork the hammer swung up under the monster at the same time the Prisoner sprinted forwards taking a leap at the last possible second. Landing on the tip of the hammer the monsters swing propelled him skywards. The monster scurried about looking for the vanished Prisoner confused.
Landing on the shoulder he grabbed at the sword which was stuck. Using his body weight he dragged the sword down, ripping the monster apart almost. Screaming in pure anger and pain the monster flailed around wildly, throwing all sorts of attacks which all missed but destroyed the otherwise wonderfully designed courtyard. Finally the blood-loss and exaggerated movements caused itself to collapse into the doors opening them as he began to turn into a light-stream that entered the Prisoners hand which now formed a mark.
Straight ahead led to a wondrous view any sane eyes would appreciate. A cliff formation leading up and to a point, looking down the Prisoner saw an endless sight of beauty with a feeling of dread.
What now? Was that it? Am I done because that was fairly easy heh…
Turning tail he decided to backtrack when a whooshing sound came from behind- A-GIANT-CROW?! Grabbed him in its talons and took him down and over the land and what a wondrous sight it was, the rush of wind blowing his wild hair back throwing the first few breaths of the freshest air into his lungs.
