Trip To Dawn Ch. 2
Chapter 2 | Who I Am
"Where... Where-" I believe you're wondering where you are, hmmm? Well, you're in the Aedric Realm." Sithis was baffled . He only thought that was mere legend. "Who are -" I am who I am. I think you'd know me best of all. Hmm. Shame. I am the comforting life, light, and truth. I am the unknown death, dark, and ruth. Come step into my waters for it is pure, when I name my successor, who's name is to be sure." Suddenly, he felt attracted to a dirty puddle of water, and every time he stepped closer to the puddle, it seemed to have gotten ever so clear. He looked through the puddle, and he saw... " War. Destruction. Eternal Darkness. Is this what you want of me? To save the world-well let me tell you, I am not a savior, I am not righteous man. I am not even a man yet; I'm 17 for divines' sakes! What am I supposed to do?! SAVE THE WORLD?! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?!" No one replied. The room went dark. The only figure he could make out was a dwemer centurion' Left leg and arm. The lights turned on, and it was a centurion leg and arm, but where was the torso? Luckily, he realized it was just a dream.
Jojo woke Sith up with a lick on the face, and a cuddle. She was hungry... He got up, and made a cooked meal. He noticed that there was a centurion left arm and leg on the table next to his sleeping bag, then he remember the dream. It wasn't a dream. It was a form of telepathic communication through the subconscious. Then it came. A scream. A scream as loud as a banshee in an empty opera house. " Gahhhhh! Aaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Help! SOMEONE HELP ME!" Sith dropped what he was doing, and he ran as fast as he could into the woods to go find his damsel in distress... He stopped dead in his tracks to see in the clearing... There she was. Her right left leg and arm were what seemed to be torn off her body. He ran straight into the clearing, and drew his blade. On the opposite side of the clearing there was a person. A man. It looked like an elf of a type. He looked frightened. Sithis mistook this as something else entirely, and gave chase to the elf. The elf dashed into the forest as fast as an elk running from a saber cat. Midway into the forest, he remembered about the girl, and how foolish he was to have chased someone halfway into the forest. He quickly turned, and ran.
It was about six in the evening when the girl woke up. Her left arm and leg were replaced by the centurion limbs that were available, Sithis thinking that that was what they were meant for. Stunningly she had control over these new limbs; she could feel and move. "Wha...? What ARE these?!" she was astonished and terrified at the same time. "Those are your new limbs. Sorry about that; couldn't just let you bleed to death, could I...?" He pulled up a chair next to the table that the girl was currently resting on. "So, what's your name? Where did you come from?" She looked confused, as if she'd forgotten who she was. " Maya," she sat up, and Sith saw the gleam of courage and battle in her eyes, like a true champion. "You can call me Maya." Maya, hmmm? You come from Skyrim? Hammerfell? Daggerfall?" Sith was just astonished at what she might say next, like she was a foreign gem, or a snow elf. Jojo looked quite interested herself, like she understood who Maya was. Her ears were upwards facing, and she was definitely listening. Jojo was laying on Sith's lap at the moment. Jojo was very small for her breed, since she was a German Sheperd - Husky Mix." I... don't know..." She doesn't know? Or she doesn't want to tell?
