Chapter 3
I am so sorry. Things got hectic and I didn't have time to put this together until now. This probably affected the lives of tens of a person. So, sorry to them.
I don't own Skyrim, I only own my OCs.
We finally made it. After trudging through forests we finally got to the gate into Riverwood. "Hey, Camilla what's that?" I ask, slightly out of breath from the track down. I am pointing to a collection of flat, barren ground that looks like it could be a path.
"Um, I think that might be a road." She said also slightly out of breath. I sighed; all that walking could have been so much easier if we had seen it earlier. But oh well. So we continued to head to town. It was rather small, so it wasn't that hard to go to the local smith. Once Camilla explained that she and I were friends of Hadvar he lent us aid by giving my some provisions. Camilla also asked for a dagger and he gave her one. I went and helped around the forge while Camilla went to go and ask about how to head to Whiterun. Apparently, there aren't many guards here so Alvor asked us to go and inform the Jarl about it.
"So, you ready to go?" I asked her as we crossed the bridge. She just rolled her eyes and walked foreword. I soon followed her. We didn't encounter anything bad other than some legionnaires with some prisoners. We kept walking along the road until we were met with an awe inspiring sight; a large hill with a large building at the top. We apparently had to go around the hill in order to get to the jarl.
As we were walking I was looking around at the county side. It was mainly farms, although we did pass a brewery on the way in. suddenly, my attention was brought to the sound of a battle and I jogged over to see what was happening. This guy and a girl were fighting a giant! I pull out my ax and charge in just time for the two of them to finish it off.
That was anti-climactic.
"Wow! That was a giant. How were you able to do that?" I ask in awe. The two turn to look at me. One is a girl with a lot of face paint. The other is a big guy with heavy armor. The girl has a bow and the guy has a long sword. Oddly the girl spoke up. Apparently she's the one in charge.
"We are members of the companions." She said with an air of smug satisfaction. That feeling soon evaporated with my next question.
"Is that supposed to mean something to me or…" I asked trailing awkwardly off at the end, having seen her shocked face.
"You must be new to Skyrim if you haven't heard of the companion's guild yet. Almost everyone has." She explained.
"Yeah, you could say I'm new to the area." I say while casting a glare at Camilla. The woman just gave us a look before smiling and shaking her head.
"Anyway, the companions are a group of hunters. We hunt together, eat together, and live together. We'd be willing to help in situations, given the coin is right." Through her entire explanation my smile grew bigger and bigger. She noticed and ended with "You can try and join if you want. We live in the Jorrvaskr in Whiterun. We hope to see soon." She said and left. I continued to look after them and was only shaken out of my daze by Camilla who motioned for us to continue moving. I only now noticed that the sun had set. As we got up to the gates a guard stops us but lets us through when we tell him what we're there for. I wanted to go straight to Jorrvaskr, but Camilla forced me to go to the jarl. So we get into the hall and walk up to the jarl. However this elf goes and tells us to back off. However we did eventually get to talk to him. He congratulated us. He also said he had another job for us and told us to talk to his magician.

"We were doing so well. We got to Whiterun. We did what we came there to do. So please, CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY WE HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THIS TOWN!" I screamed in frustration in the center of Riverwood.
"Because we need the tablet." Camilla said, a little exhausted herself. So we rented some beds at the local inn and slept with not any care in the world.
Wow. It's been a month since I wrote the top part. All I have to say is.
