Ch 1 In the Beginning

It hurts, I cannot breathe, I cannot see, I cannot move, how long has it been? How long have I been burning, half a day? Months? Years? It hurts, I can't even lose consciousness, or maybe I did, I cannot remember.

I opened my eyes, and then realize I can see again and I am no longer in pain, I looked around, I am in the middle of a road with trees all around, then I looked up, I was speechless, the sun, is a real sun, not like the dying sun of Lordran, but a powerful sun, booming with energy.

I hold my heads out to the sun, and then reached for my helmet, and I froze, my breathing hastened, my hands trembled and even my stomach felt strange, I was afraid, afraid of what I looked like under the armor.

BOOM!

An explosion, ahead of me. Curious, I ran towards the sound, a battle between a dozen people. After observing for a moment, I realized it was a battle between a group of three plus a dog against a group of ten. The group of three comprise of two men with dual weapons and a man in heavy armor with a greatsword, the group of ten had three with weapon & shield, two with dual weapons, two with greataxes, one spellcaster, and two archers in the trees on both side of the road.

I was thinking if I should intervene and who I should help when the spellcaster shouted "just hand over the gold, weapons and armors and you can leave with your lives!" Splendid.

I moved into the trees and managed to sneak behind one of the archer, I raised my lucerne and with all my might, swung the hammer part at the archer's helmeted head and knocked him down, I then raised the lucerne and pierced the archer with the spear part of the lucerne.

"Cass down!" someone shouted, I looked up and saw the archer across the road and the spellcaster looking at me, the spellcaster lifted his staff, I dropped the lucerne and immediately took cover behind a tree, BOOM! Something hit the tree, I can see some embers, I pulled out my longbow and an arrow, and came out of cover to look for the spellcaster but he was gone, I immediately aimed at the archer and shot, and I couldn't believe it, I hit the archer right in the neck, it was the best shot that I could remember. I was resolve even if I took an arrow, I will outlast a mortal man.

I dropped the longbow and picked up the lucerne and rushed towards the nearest enemy, a fighter with an axe and shield. I hit him with the hammer part, even though he blocked, it still knocked him unbalance, I turn the lucerne, and with all my might hit the shield with the pickaxe part and it penetrated the shield, he screamed in pain, it seems that it also pierced his arm, but now my lucerne is stuck, I let go of the handle and pulled out my longsword and stabbed him in the left side of his neck.

I heard something beside me and immediately jumped back, barely avoiding a hit, I pulled my Grass Crest Shield from my back and readied myself, it was a fighter with dual short swords, I swung my sword and he deflected it with his left sword and attacked with his right sword, I blocked the attack with my shield and thrusted my sword at him and he jumped back.

"Enough! Retreat!" someone yelled, the dual sword fighter begun walking backwards and when he saw that I wasn't advancing, he turned and ran. I looked around, and saw four more bodies on the ground. The man with the greatsword gave chase.

"Stop! Don't pursue them, they may set up a trap or ambush ahead!" yelled the fighter with long and short swords.

"But the apostate!" says the greatsword fighter.

"Not the problem of the Grey Warden, and we need to tend to our wounds." says the fighter with the long and short swords, then he turned and looked at me.

"Thank you friend, may I have the name of the person who helped us?"
