You woke up in a barren and desolate prison cell. The cement walls were dripping wet, and the cold, rocky floor, had lingering feces of rats. Not to mention the smell of death and the wet scent of mold and mushrooms. There was no light, only a candle from inside the prison was your pretend sun. You had one bed, a bedroll on the floor. Not even a blanket or a pillow. Well at least you had a bowl for your food, but gods' know how long since that was clean. The thought of eating inside this place made you sick to your stomach. You felt so sick that you had to sit down and rest for a bit, praying you don't throw up, cause we both know that the vomit would never leave your cell.
Among all of the other disgusting things, you had a garderobe. Incase you, reader, are unaware of what that is, it is a medieval toilet. It's like one of the bowls you would put next to the bed, thought it was more advanced with a seat.
The garderobe sat against a wall, made out of cement as well. It looked awfully disgusting as well. Let's just hope you didn't have to use the bathroom.
As your eyes lingered around the room you quickly noticed a wet, cold sensation under the bare skin of your feet. You looked down to see you were barefoot and standing in a puddle. You quickly jumped out, shivering from how disgusting it was. But what was worse was that there was no source the water came from; or even if it was water for that matter.
As you stood shaking, disgusted, and about to throw up, a guard opened the door. He gave you a glare and you looked back at him with a frown. He walked him, the clanking of his boots was music to your ears, reminding you of the freedom you had not too long ago.
He chained you up, both your ankles and wrists, and escorted you out. To be honest, you had no idea why you were here, or what was even going on. Did you do something wrong? You had no clue, and you were in fact, frightened. But it's okay, you are a witty and cocky mage. (If you have your own personality disregard that).
The guard brought you to a table and throw you down in the seat. A large orc woman walked up to you, glaring at you with a eyes that could burn the heavens.
"Where is he?!" the orc woman screamed. To you, it sounded like a roar.
Okay buddy, we got this. You and I! Just answer her honestly and carefully. Be polite and don't scream. Okay? "I don't know anything! Let me go! I want to go home!" You shouted, almost in tears. Well there goes that idea.
"Calm down, now, child. Captain Gug'lar won't hurt you now," a guard next to the female hulk spoke. His kind voice soothed your ears. No homo, of course, if you are a straight male in this story.
"Not unless I have to," she grinned, her orcish tusks showing.
"What do you want to know?" you asked, trying to calm down.
"Where is your leader?" the kind voice spoke again.
"Leader?" you asked, confused, of course. What leader? You work alone for the better good of humanity! Or, at least you do for now. You can always pick a path that goes against that.
"Your bandit leader?!" Gug'lar screamed, again. Damnit, always with the good cop and bad cop.
"Bandit? I'm not a bandit."
"You're not?" asked the kind voiced soldier.
"No, I am not. My home was burned down by them. I swear! I saw they were heading this way so I came to assist."
"You did, now?" the kind voice said again. Of course, he believed you, cause for some reason when you go with the honest choices in games, they always believe you. But when you lie, they never do.
"(She's/he's) lying!" Gug'lar roared. Ahh there it is! The part where someone doesn't believe you when you speak the truth. Why doesn't games always have this?
"I'm speaking the truth!" you shouted.
"Liar!" she roared.
"Stop it, you two. Look, (he/she) is telling the truth," he said, giving you an apologetic smile.
Gug'lar grunted and walked out, "you deal with (him/her)"
The guard took off his helmet. He was a wood elf, and a beautiful one too. He had long blonde hair and green eyes. His ears peered out from his hair and his lips pursed into a smile. (Yes, this guy is a romance option when that choice is given. More will be explained about that later.) He basically, in a way, looked like Legolas from Lord of the Rings, only with green eyes.
"I apologize on her behalf. Captain Gug'lar can be some what... demanding," he said carefully
"It's always nice to be harassed by a giant green goblin," you joked.
"Careful what you say, you never know who might be listening," he gestured towards the back door.
He smiled at you before speaking again. "I'm Camaendir Faeldir," he put out his hand to and smiled. (Pronounce: Cam ian deer. Fayl deer.)
You shook his hand and (Smiled back/nodded). "I'm (name)"
"I can tell you didn't do it, or at least not a bandit. You clearly killed the bandits around you. From the damage I saw, you seem like a pretty strong mage."
"Nah, I'm new," you wittily said.
He let out a sound of amusement and smirked.
(If you attracted to men, read till the next AN. If you are not, skip to the next AN. This dialogue from here to the next is for people interested to this character as a romance option. The next dialogue set will be for people who are not interested.)
"I'm sorry someone as (beautiful/handsome) as you had to wake up in a filthy place like that. I hope it wasn't too dirty."
You smiled. "A big bed and an ocean view would have been appreciated," you joked.
"Well maybe I could see to that accommodation elsewhere within another room," he flirted.
You began flirting back, "spend a night with a handsome elf like yourself? Maybe I will."
"Aye," he grinned, "but not today."
You frowned, "of course."
"I should at least get you released from this prison. I've already began the paperwork, incase you weren't a bandit. You will be free to go in the morning. But what will you do after?"
"Hmm... Good question. I think I will-"
1) Seek revenge against the bandits. (Chapter 24)
2) Leave to find another adventure. (Chapter 10)
3) Join the Fighters' Guild. (Chapter 12) [Not recommended since you are a mage. But do what you want, this is your story, not mine.]
4) Join the Mages' Guild. (Chapter 11)
"Perhaps I can join you?" he asked.
You smiled, "I would enjoy that."
(Stop reading.)
(The next dialogue is a continuation of where it left off before. This is for the people not interested in a romance option or not interested in this one. There will be an important message in the end of the story for all viewers.)
"I'm sorry that you were forced into the cell. I know this place isn't the cleanest."
"A big bed and an ocean view would have been appreciated," you joked.
He smiled at your joke. "Then maybe you would hate getting arrested in the Black Marsh. The Argonians don't treat their inmates as great as we do."
"I'll keep that in mind," you said, crossing your arms and putting your feet up on the desk.
"I have already started the paperwork for your release, incase you turned out to not be a bandit. But it twas quite clear to me that you weren't." He gave you a professional smile.
You smiled and nodded. "Thanks," you said."
"If you don't mind me asking, where do you plan to go next?" He asked.
You took your feet off the desk, leaned closer, and uncrossed your arms. You began to think, "hmm... I don't know. I think I might-"
1) Seek revenge against the bandits. (Chapter 24)
2) Leave to find another adventure. (Chapter 10)
3) Join the Fighters' Guild. (Chapter 12) [Not recommended since you are a mage. But do what you want, this is your story, not mine.]
4) Join the Mages' Guild. (Chapter 11)
"Would you mind if I accompanied you on your journey?" he asked, sincerely.
"I wouldn't mind that at all."
He clapped his hands together, "great!"
(This is important! There will be a chapter uploaded as chapter 23 to recap for all players. This will address your storyline as it is so far, as well as the rules, important AN's, my mistakes I don't really feel like fixing, and my all my thoughts so far. It is very important you read this, since there are a few things I have left out for -all- players. Some of this you have already read, others you haven't, so it's important you read this. This won't be up till I get to chapter 23. As you can see, I am currently on chapter 14, so it will be a while. Please read CHAPTER TWENTY THREE. That's CHAPTER 23. Thank you.)
