Duderoth
17th of the Last Seed
(Day 2)
Ok. After I woke up this morning, I walked out of the shop/bar thingo while ignoring the stares from all the people and all the random comments like "What's yourrr story?" (Those stupid Nords trill their r's all the time.) Anyway, I walked out of the building and across the bridge, and I saw a silt strider there, but I decided to take the scenic route instead.
Well, as it turns out, just as I'm walking peacefully around the swamps in the direction of Balmora, I hear this growling and then some screaming. I take a couple more steps and all of a sudden, this guy falls out of a tree. Dude… Weird. I decided to take a look at the corpse and I found this strange yellow beanie/traveler's cap/snow hat thing, some robes, some money, and a book… Interesting…
The book is just the Bosmer's journal. At least I think the guy was a Bosmer. (I had a strange day and I can't remember much.) I decided to put on the robe and hat. I mean, I can't walk around wearing these rags all the time. And where did I get these rags anyway? Where did everything I own come from? Ah, well, no matter.
I walk a very, very, very, very long way and I find myself in a valley swamp desert thing. All of a sudden I hear drums and a very high-pitched squeak. I look down and see this three-foot-long rat standing in front of me and biting the crap out of me. I draw my dagger and I kill it in five minutes. Could it really take any longer?
I turned right at the next sign that I came across because it said "Balmora" and was pointing to the right. Maybe that's a sign that it goes to Balmora. Can't think to well after being bitten by a rabies-infected rat.
The valley eventually turned green. I kept going. I met a green spiky thing that started attacking me. I slashed it a few times. It slashed me a few times. I slashed it a few times. It slashed me a few times. I slashed it again and it died. I kept going.
I kept going.
I kept going.
Yes! I finally got to this pillar that said "Balmora" on it. I was pretty sure I had reached it now! Yeah I had! I could see buildings across the river! And a silt strider! And… A wall. Great… I hoped there would be some way to get across it.
I crossed the next two bridges and past the silt strider, I walked through the archway in the wall, (Thank goodness!) and I stopped at the first building I decided to stop in front of. (Makes sense doesn't it?) It was an inn. It was nearly midnight and I was exhausted. I sleepily agreed to pay the rent for a bed and I went upstairs to say goodnight and write this journal and then I think I'm going to fall asleep right now and I'm so tired an
(A/N: I hope my story's original enough. I'm trying not to copy too much. Though I think most everything is pretty cliché by now. I also hope my chapters are long enough…)
