Been a few days since I updated; I've been working on other projects.

Someone I know just started playing Skyrim, and she wanted to be a mage, so went and did the College of Winterhold questline first. I decided to write a "college" based chapter tonight!


The Dragonborn had been expecting more when he ventured out to finally visit the college of Winterhold, but then again, he'd been unimpressed with the bard's college in Solitude, as well.

Maybe he just wasn't a 'college' guy…

The Altmer woman who had stopped him on the bridge was now leading him onward to meet with the rest of the staff and students and hopefully get out of the slight blizzard that had cropped up.

As they moved along the bridge, Faralda glanced over her shoulder, "By the way, what is your name?"

"Um…" the Dragonborn paused, not sure what to tell her. What was a name he hadn't used yet? "…Harry, the…Potter."

She nodded, apparently believing his word was true.

They stepped along a thin stretch of the bridge where the majority of it had crumbled into the water below.

"Um…" "Harry the Potter" said, pointing at the bridge. "You might want to get that fixed,"

"Tuition is free!" Faralda informed him happily.

He blinked, "Ah, I see…"

"Now come, Harry the Potter, Mirabelle will show you around the campus,"

The Dragonborn suppressed a groan. The only reason he came here was to learn to blow things up. Hopefully that would be his first lesson, or he was out of here.


I'll have an on-going joke that the Dragonborn gives out fake names in every hold. Mostly because I couldn't decide what to call him in this set of stories...

That bridge makes me laugh...the only reason they haven't fixed it must be because tuition is free, right? (They HAVE magic...geez...)

Also, my brother groaned when Mirabelle was making him take the tour and said; "I skipped this when I went to real college, why can't I skip it at this virtual college!?"
