The Adventures of Marrowind
By: Evan B

Chapter 1

I've been in jail for 5 years for committing homicide. Today is the day I finally come out of jail. My name is Evan. The day I got out was a very easy one. All I had to do was go into the Commanders' office and get my release papers filled. I looked down hallway. "This is the hallway the guard told me to go down," I thought. When I got all the way down the hallway I looked around. There were pictures on this wooden hallway, good ones too. There was one with silver knight battling a dragon and another with a beautiful woman sewing a dress. I went and opened the door and steeped into the Commanders' office. "Good day," said the Commander. The Commander was very bulky especially with his armor that he was wearing. He had big and a fierce look in his eyes. He had curly brown hair. "So you just got out of prison, eh? I still can't believe that it took a hundred solders to catch you. Well, I'm sure your time in jail gave you some thinking time." "It might have and it might have not," I replied. "Next time it'll probably take a thousand men just to catch me." "Remember what you say can and will be used against you," warned the Commander." "One more threat out of you and I'll send you for another 5 years!" I didn't want to go back to jail so I just opened my mouth and said. "Here are my release papers." The Commander took a look at them. "Hmmm good," he said. "I'll have them singed by tomorrow but by then your not allowed to leave the town of 'Seyda Neen.'

Seyda Neen is a simple town with not so many houses. Some of the houses were just little huts. I went to the small town and went into an old friend's place. My friend's house was a big one because his house was also a trade house and had a back and front door. The front door went into the Storage room. The back door went into the shop. All the rest of the houses had only one door. My friend, Archille, is the owner of the local supply shop. He was a good friend of mine and still is. Even if I was wanted in 5 capitols of Marrowind, I went in the shop. When I went into the shop I met Archille. He was a tall human with short brown hair, blue overalls, blue eyes and a face that looked like it went through a machine. "Good day Archille," I said. "Ah, ya finally got out eh?" asked Archille with a dumb accent. "Well it's about time you got out." I went off topic. "Do you have the latest list of rich people?" I asked. "So you're going back to stealing again, eh?" "Well don't over do it or they'll suspect ya." "Ok, I promise I wont over do it," I replied. "Now where is the list of rich people?" "It's right here," Archille said. "Go ahead take it." "Good," I replied. "The closest one is 'Dean Park,' Archille said. "He lives in 'Vivic'." "Hmm…? That's only a town away." "Good, what if there are guards?" asked Archille. "You forget I know some alteration spells. If they catch me I'll use the 'water walking' spell and thanks to their armor they'll sink like a rock," I pointed out. "Ah, that's right I did forget!" said Archille. "Well then you should be going to the inn before someone sees us." "Good point." I said. "I should be going back. But before that I'd like to go for some supplies." "You can't buy any weapons," Archille pointed out. "The commander wouldn't allow it; not until you have you're release papers filled. If you are even seen with a weapon, they'll put you back in jail." "I know. I only want some water, food and healing herbs," I replied. "Tomorrow I'll buy weapons." "Here take them for free, Archille said." With that I went to the inn for some sleep.
