Lydia's Story

Ever wonder what Skyrim's first companion was thinking? Now's your chance to hear her side of the Dragonborn's story. [this is like 99% a crackfic idea]

3. Greybeards

Fredas, 20th of the Last Seed, 4E 201

Dear Journal,

We've met with the Greybeards now. Their power, their mysticism, impressed me to my core; they seem to radiate an untappable energy. Watching them teach the Dragonborn and listening to the Dragonborn learn new shouts was incredible.

But... It wasn't all the mysticism I expected.

First, the Dragonborn was shouting force at old men, who repeatedly asked her to do so. Then, the Dragonborn learned the new words while running circles around her teachers. To drive home the point that she didn't take this seriously, they began to teach her "Wuld," meaning Whirlpool, and she replied, "Oh shit, whaddup?"

I'm... Not entirely sure this adventure will be everything I'd hoped.

Sincerely Yours,

Lydia
