MORROWIND

THE CRYSTAL BLADES

PROLOGUE


David sat on his couch where he watched a glowing orb that was giving an anouncement from the emperials, morrowind always used magic to make things as simple as possible.A man wearing black and blue armor was on a stand speaking to "the people". The man from the orb was giving a report about three recently discovered islands, there was currently a battle between the villages to who would own it. "...So as you can see, we cannot allow any unauthorized persons to enter any of the three islands. If you are found there however... the war will take care of your ability to not listen to your government." said the armored man.

"also" he began again "we will be decreasing the curfew time, if anyone is found out after 9:00 they shall be arrested." David rolled his eyes at the announcement, "i cant believe those stupid imperials, ugh!" David then opened a box and the orb emediatly disapeared into the box in a flash of bright light, he then slammed the box close. He then put the box under a shelf in the room he was currently in, there was a brown couchin the center of the room, a kitchen on the northern side, the shelve on the eastern side, and the door on the south that lead outside, he was on the westside where the door to his room was.

He went over to the kitchen and opened one of the cupboards, he pulled out a cup and poured a blue liquid out of a pitcher and into his glass. he took a few sips and sat down on his coutch, he puuled out a large book with large metal currsivewords written across it spelling "The Argonian Legends". He was flipping through the pages glancing at the pictures, some of them showed "lizard men" with armor and weapons slaying mythical creatures. He heard a knock on the door, he carefully set down the book and went over to the door.

When he opened the door he saw his neighbor with a box in his hands, "um... hey john... what brings you here?" asked David eyeing the box, "and whats with the box?" John looked at the box then back a David, "oh this? i was actually going to ask you a favor?" David sighed. "what do you want?" he said in a complaining voice. "its nothing big, i was just wonder if you could go to the alchamest down near the northern shore and pick up package, i would but i dont have the time." David looked outside, the sun was brightly shineing on the entire village, "okay fine... how much am i getting?" John opened his box, "how about... 250gp?" David Sighed again, "okay fine." john smiled, "thank you so much!"

David was about to leave when he stopped for a moment, "Wait! its not moon dust again is it?" John looked surprised, "now c'mon David! you know i gave that up!" David looked at him dead in the eye, "okay" said David before going back into his house, he went into his room and got his supplies for the trip, he also brought an iron saber for protection. he then left his house and headed north, it would be a bit of a long trip, but for 250 gp... it was worth it
