Prologue
It was quiet; as it normally was for the past three nights he has spent in this town. A small town really, that lived by the river. Townspeople kept to themselves, only occasional drama that never really involved him. He supposed that's why he liked this little town called Riverwood. Sasuke never really liked busy towns or any place he had to deal with people. Sasuke and his clan see nothing wrong with staying out of a person's business and for others to stay out of their own. Now, Sasuke isn't normally a jerk or turns his nose up at those who come to speak to him at random moments of the day or night. No, he just simply and respectively tells them he is not interested, in need of, or seeking anything they claim, or ask him. Most people seem to get this the first or second time they are told this, but sometimes he has the occasional run-in with a bandit that he happens upon.
Yes Sasuke is a warrior that belongs to the clan called Uchiha, the famous Uchiha clan that lives more towards Solstheim, in the Skaal village, a very far place from Riverwood. Sasuke is a Nord, but he doesn't come off as one. For one, he isn't as broad as most Nords are nowadays. Sasuke is more lean than muscular, and he doesn't have the typical features of Nords with their blonde or slightly dark hair with blue to dark green eyes. As a matter of fact, his whole clan has obsidian eyes with black hair. Some people believe he is a Breton because of these odd features. What would it matter anyways? His clan has been around for several generations and it continues to grow. For all Sasuke is concerned is that his clan will surely be around for generations to come.
Sasuke looked around the quiet inn he has been staying in, seeing the usual at his table listening to the soft music being played. He sipped his tankard of mead, letting his body relax into the wooden chair. Sasuke was used to far better back at his home, but he would have to make due since he was travelling around. For reasons unknown to him and several others, rumors of dragons appearing here and there have been spread across all of Skyrim. Then the rumor of the Dragonborn has reached his village. It has been several weeks since he has set out to find this so-called Dragonborn and aid him in his quest. The Uchiha clan was once a guide and aid to those who were called Dragonborns, many years before Sasuke was even thought of. His older brother offered to take leave and seek this Dragonborn out, but Sasuke convinced his family that he was more than capable in doing this. Not that he means any offense to his older brother, no of course not, it was just Itachi had plenty to deal with in taking over as the head clan member in their father's place. His family couldn't agree more after such persuasion.
Tonight would mark the thirtieth day of Sun's Dusk and the last. Tomorrow morning would he begin in the new Evening Star in his search. Evening Star is the start of winter, something Sasuke is very much used to thanks to being raised in Solstheim. Now what surprised the young Uchiha was the day he stepped off the ship into warm weather. Sasuke had to shed off his winter coat and switch it for his lighter clothing. Not long did it take for him to become accustomed to such lovely weather, but some people did mark on his pale complexion, some even asked if he was sick. Sasuke is in perfect health and after a look in his reflection did he understand their remarks. He never really noticed his snowy white skin as a difference to others since everyone around him in the village was the same. But now, here in Skyrim, he sees the major differences between himself and others.
Again, this was something Sasuke didn't care for or dwell on. Sasuke is a formidable fighter, second to his older brother, and can last in a fight much longer than those who simply brag about their skills. Sasuke shook his head as he listened to the same man say the same drunken thing to the music player, asking if he knew any new songs and such as it is each night. These people in Riverwood are simple people that Sasuke can enjoy his time here instead out in the woods or in Whiterun. Sasuke could not stand the gall of those people in Whiterun any longer than an hour in his search of the Dragonborn. Sasuke had to leave after doing a quick ask-and-search before he nearly murdered some Redguard asking if he would aid them in searching for some lost Redguard woman after he declined more than three times. After Sasuke unsheathed his katana and summoned a fireball in his other hand did they back off and promptly left him alone. The nerve of them.
"What?" came a sudden shout of a woman standing by the bar. Sasuke turned in his seat to see two people by the bar, apparently in a heated argument. The woman seemed Elvish to him, but couldn't really tell since the lighting was not at its best. She had blonde hair that was either cut off short or tied up that way. Her armor was leather and therefore light, but he sword seemed heavier judging by the strain of the leather sheath it was in. "How could you lose him?" The same woman shouted again at the man that seemed to catch Sasuke's attention about him.
This man was roughly six foot or more, with a build that of an ox was this man broad and muscular. He wore no armor that he could see, not even a hidden dagger on this man. What caught Sasuke's attention even more so was the man's hair. His hair was short and blonde, so much so was it like staring into the sun did each strand glow with the candle light. And those strands of blond stuck out like spears ready to go through you without warning. Now, this right there was probably the strangest thing he had ever seen since his travelling.
"It wasn't my fault!" The man shouted back that caused Sasuke to snap out his daze on the hair. This man's voice was deep, but seemed a little more…kid-ish to him. "I went through the Ratway and found him in a locked cell! Hell, I even helped him defeat the Thalmor that suddenly appeared when we went through the sewers! After that, I saw him leave out of the guild and that's the last place I saw him. I figured he was on his way here when I told him you sent me." The man explained in an irritated tone.
Sasuke couldn't believe what this man was saying. He went to a place to find some guy that was in a guild, fought off Thalmor of all people, and survived. Dressed the way he was…sure maybe he could fight off one or two Thalmor with his bare hands, if those Thalmor didn't use magic on him. Sasuke shook his head and tuned out of the conservation, taking a drink of his mead.
"You're the Dragonborn! How could you lose someone such as Esbern?" The woman asked with a angry tone.
Sasuke choked on his mead when he heard those three words.
That man was the Dragonborn?
