Asbjorn walked into the tavern and stepped onto the creaking wooden floor board. A fire blazing in the middle with a whole deer roasting over it, giving off a wonderful smell. Asbjorn realized just how hungry he was when the smell overloaded his senses. Quickly, correcting himself he walked to the Counter where a man stood with grease on his shirt. "You hungry or thirst?" The man said tiredly. As a short blonde lady walked in from the room on the right, a suspicious and angry smirk on her face as she looked at Asbjorn.
Looking back at her Asbjorn scoffed and looked at the innkeeper "Both. I've got ten bucks. What will that get me?" Earning a confused look from the innkeeper "What are you talking about? Why would need ten bucks?"
"To pay for the food and drink?" Asbjorn said as he put a 10 dollar US bill on the counter. The innkeeper seeing this got angry "What is this? Is this some kind of joke, why would i need a piece of paper. Either pay in gold or stop wasting my time."
Asbjorn getting angry Walked off and left to the Alvor s forge for some help.
"Hey Alvor, I have a few questions if I may ask?"
"Sure lad, what's on your mind?" Alvor said as he looked up from sewing some leather together. "The bartender at the tavern said pay in gold or get out, but all I have is this." Asbjorn said pulling out the bill and handed it to Alvor who took it and started looking at it.
"What is this? Whats the United States of America? And who's this Washington fella on the front?" Alvor said with a curious look on his face. Asbjorn could feel his jaw dropping, how could one not know what the United States was. It's not like it's a big secret.
"Uhm it's ten dollars. The United States of America is the country I'm from, It's south of Canada and north of Mexico. Washington was our first President. He was a general in the Revolutionary war against the British and elected the president of the The United States by the people." Asbjorn said confused.
"You said this is Skyrim? I've never heard of a country named Skyrim. Where is it in the map?"
Now it was Alvors turn to look confused. He stopped stitching the leather and looked at Asbjorn. "Lad, I don't think You'll know. This United States of America is nowhere on the map, and the whole world has been mapped. So either this is an elaborate joke, or your and me are both mad."
Asbjorn looked at Alvor suddenly scared "We have a theory where I'm from, parallel Universes. Here let me explain." He said as he picked up three nails and set them side by side. "This one is my universe." He said pointing at the middle nail. Moving his finger to the left one and the right one he said "One of these are your universe. The theory is that you can travel to another universe. But there was no proof or equipment strong or advanced enough to do that." He said as he pulled his amulet of Mjolnir out and grabbed it.
Alvor heard this and said "Makes sense. So your not from this world. Which means you don't know about the thalmor. Whatever that amulet is, it looks life an amulet of Talos, and the Thalmor will kill you or arrest you for it.
Secondly, your gonna need to know how things work around here and about Tamriel. Here's my offer, I'll teach you what you need to know, and how to Smith. And in return you tell me about your world. Deal?" Alvor said as he reached his hand out.
"Sounds good to me." Asbjorn said shaking his hand.
