a bit late on this one, i was kindof procrastinating. i pretty much skipped the rest of the helgen escape because i want to get to the actual plot-ness.

Scyrus' P.O.V

we left the round room and walked a bit longer, the ceiling collapsed and we were forced to go another way. we killed several more stormcloaks on the way. inside of a storeroom i helped myself to anything i could get my hands on.

after filling my bags with simple foodstuffs and an assortment of bottles that the imperial assured me were potions. after entering a room that only lessened my opinion of the imperials, a torture room, i found some lockpicks and tested to see if i remembered how to pick.

after cracking open a cell with a little bit of error i grabbed the bag of gold and odd book within. i opened the book and flipped through a few pages until i felt my vision go hazy and the ink within the book faded away.

i shook my head and looked at my hand, i felt new knowlege flowing through my head and willed a bit of energy into my hand. a few sparks danced between my fingers. this exited me, i tried again with more powerful thoughts.

this time, the sparks leaped to the metal bars of the cage. i opened my hand and the electricity diffused. i walked with the imperial and the man who joined us and we came across some stormcloaks.

i decided to test out my new skill and scrambled some brains with charged fists. after a few blows, i felt incredibly drained and pulled one of the potions out of my bag. the blue hue of the liquid looked familiar and i emptied the thing down my throat.

the potion filled me with power and i was able to finish off the soldiers with arcs of lightning. in the next area, i saw something that made me almost shit myself. i saw about five or six spiders, but they were the size of small bears and big dogs.

i put so much voltage through them that they were crisp by the end of the fight. speaking of bears, one decided to attack me on the way out. after a charged steel sword was shoved into its gut, it stopped attacking me.

we finally exited the cave and i walked with the imperial soldier. "that powerful weapon you used on the dragon" he nodded at the black gun sticking out of my bag. "why did you not use it on the stormcloaks?"

i shook my head "limited shots, i need to only use it when i have to. on that topic, can i have the rest of my things?" the soldier nodded and handed me a leather sack. i opened it and counted a few more shells and my wallet, the last thing however i grinned at keeping, my phone.

i placed the bag in my larger one and walked forward. "is it dwemer?" i gave him a look with a raised eyebrow. "the weapon, they are the only ones that come to mind with the power that thing contains" i shook my head "designed, created, and used by me"

the man went wide eyed and looked forward, trying to ignore what i had just said. "there is a town not too far from here, called Riverwood. my uncle works as a smith there, we will help you in any way we can."

i nodded at the man who walked away and set walking down the path. i thought about this new world, probably the least weird of all the ones i had been in. i walked down the cobble path and met a crossroad, on a wood sign there was an arrow that read riverwood.

i followed the road walked for a while until i met a humble little town and walked in. i saw a forge and walked to the house connected to it. i knocked on the door and was greeted by a large bearded man. "who are you?"

i almost answered truthfully until i remembered the situation i was in. "i am a friend of your nephew's" he narrowed his eyes "how do you know hadvar?" i sighed. "he helped me escape helgen during the dragon attack"

my bluntness concerning the beast had an obvious effect. causing him to freak out about the monster. "we need to tell the jarl about this, if you can get word to whiterun i will be in your debt." i nodded "now… how do i get there?" he gave me simple directions and i set off to the other end of the town.

i passed by a shop and heard panicked voices from within. i calmly entered the shop and the two people panicking akwardly silenced with my presence. "*ahem* regardless of what you have heard, the 'riverwood trader' is still open"

i lifted an eyebrow "what happened?" the man sighed "there was a breakin, the thieves were only after one thing though. a ornament, solid gold, in the shape of a dragons claw" i quickly ran some numbers in my head and smiled at how much this claw was worth.

"i could go get it" the man's face lit up "i have some coin coming in from my last shipment. if you bring the claw back, it's yours" i smiled as he told me the location of the treasure. the armor felt lighter on my shoulders, the bag at my side felt ever so much lighter.

adventure time, biches.

another long one, didn't go comp[letely through the helgen escape because i wanted scyrus to get the spell tome. see you next chap
