"Mr. Aroven, it is time for your trip." One of the guards serving under me said right before I walked out the door.
''Damn''
I went to the dock in Anvil, where I was stopped by several men in uniform. "Hold on, wheres your ship pass?"
"Ship pass? I'm the Imperial Law captain, I don't need a pass!" I yelled in arrogant manner.
"Oh, sorry sir. We didn't recognize you at the time..."
"Thank you-"
"But you still need to go over the inspection. I sighed at this waste of my time, and walked into the dock house.
"Hello! Here for inspection?" A 'sailor' asked me. I went through the 'inspection', where my sword was removed temporarily, I was asked questions regarding why I was taking this trip, and was sent off in only 5 minutes.
When I reached the ship I gaped at its beautiful outside body. A large mast with the Imperial flag at the top looked over the sea, while a steady banner of sailors kept maintenance at every inch of the ship. I stepped on the deck slowly, when a man from the captains cabin came out and said "Ah, Slatus. Your here, I've prepared a cot for you below deck and we will sail in an hour." Not at all the captains voice I expected.
"H-hello? Hello?*sigh* I didn't even get the mans name."
I went off to bed, I didn't get any worthwhile sleep last night.
The below deck was a place ''full'' of barrels. Wrong room. I then went to another, where I found what looked like a empty bar. "This ships bigger then it looks..." I thought. Perhaps the crew was in the next room.
Indeed, they were. I saw a Nord sitting in the back, an Argonian dozing off at a table, a Khajiit, Breton, and Redguard betting on something. This was only a a handful of the crew, apparently. I took note to learn their names and backstories.
The Nords name was Jurden, a man from Falkreath who volunteered to serve. The Argonian was Licks-Many-Trees, who insisted I call him Lim. The Khajiit and Breton (Zuru and Lofleet) were traders who got involved with the captain, and chose to work for him. Apparently the Redguard was Invir, the captains son, who looked somewhat similar to his father. I talked with the Argonian first, he just seemed welcoming with his sleepy attitude.
"So, I take it you enjoy eating bark?"
"No, Lim licked much sap off Hist. Much sap indeed." And then he went back to sleeping on the hard, wooden table.
After that ended, I went to my cot, only to discover a Imperial women sleeping there.
"Damn"
