Wow thanks everbody for the positive feedback, I was a little worryed that the first chapter would be slightly boring but I am glad that you thought it was great.

I do not own elder scrolls Blah Blah Blah.

Inorra, now clad in the lighter clothes, walked around the city. Her eyes were wide with curiosity, watching the everyday life of her kind. The shops, the guards, the nice scenery, the busy market and streets. She eagerly eavesdropped on conversations, wanting to hear more about this city. She sometimes touched wares, asked about items and observed as they showed her how they made it. She would always smile and reveal to them she was not from around here to anyone who questioned her knowledge. They always left it at that and didnt ask more.

After a few hours she noticed why the older Khajiit insisted giving her these clothes... It was burning hot here! Maybe she was a feline like them, but she wasnt used to this heat, thus looked for shadows all the time, not wanting to leave them. Of course the dark places didnt help much. Inorra was sure she will learn to tolerate it one day. She also noticed how different all the other cats talked. Their speech was strange, yet so familiar. Her family always tried to talk like the nords and taught her that as well. She decided, if she truly wanted to blend in, she not only needed to learn and find work, but also speak like them. Well, she will try at least.

Inorra wasn't the only one struggling with the heat, walking through the street was an imperial man who was obviously not used to the severe heat of the sun. He walked through the streets carrying a canteen of water in him that would get empty very frequently. He would try to ask the local Khajiit if there was a well anywhere where he could refill but either they did not speak Cyrodelic or they were just messing with him. Whichever it was it did not help the imperial man with his thirst problem.

While she struggled because of the heat, Inorra's yellow eyes traveled suddenly to another oddity. More like a person. It didnt look like a Khajiit, and had weird clothes on. Maybe another traveler? She tilted her head and observed the seemingly human, maybe nord stranger from afar. She gripped her fur armor tighter in her hands, and decided she will start up a conversation with him. He must be new as well, so they could explore the city together? With this thought she walked up to him with a bright smile on her muzzle, her eyes wide with curiosity. "Hello there stranger." She greeted the Imperial man cheerfully, coming up to him from the side. "This one sees you are new here too. I come from Skyrim, where are you from?" the feline asked, trying to use the Khajiit terms, referring to herself as 'this one' now. She loved getting to know new people, and strangers somehow turn out to be friendly to her here.

The imperial man stopped in his tracks and jumped in surprise when from seemingly out of nowhere he was met by the freindly face of Inorra "oh uh, hello madam." he said as he tryed to righten his breathing and restart his heart from his startle not moments ago. "my name is Adrian, it is a pleasure to meet you. I came from Cyrodiil." he said.

The feline tilted her head, but smiled none the less. "My name is Inorra, and I just left Skyrim to come back to Elsweyr and see my homeland. It is my first time here... And I am a bit confused about everything yet." She admitted a bit ashamed, not liking the fact that while she is Khajiit had no knowledge about anything that involved her species. "Is this your first visit too?" She asked, her smile widened once more.

He nodded "yes, I came to Elsweyr on a vacation of sorts." he said as he wiped some sweat from his forehead.

Inorra's smile widened even more, and she closed her eyes, clapping her hands together in excitement. "Then let's go and explore Torval together! It's always better to do that with someone than alone." She exclaimed, and started walking towards some more shopping stands, waiting for the other to catch up. She was eager to see the whole city and get to know more people. So far her trip went very well, and found new friends in the few hours she had been here. "Look at these necklaces and rings. They are so pretty. Surely made with ancient Khajiit ways." The feline said, admiring the jewelry that was on display at one of the shopkeepers.

The Imperial man was stunned when he was practically left in the dust by the young Khajiit. He smiled though none the less at the energetic young feline before following her and looking at the jewelry himself, it really was quite pretty.

However, the moment he arrived at her side, she grabbed his hand and started dragging him to another shopkeeper. The various weapons at that stand caught her eyes and attracted her attention. She let go of his hand and picked up a steel sword, inspecting it closely, stroked its fine and smooth surface. "Look at this..." It was so sharp and glistened in the sunlight. It surely cut better than her single iron dagger. She soon put it down and inspected the whole display, slowly inching along it, looking at every sword, bow, hammer, ax and dagger. She couldnt pick which she liked more... But of course she didnt have the money to buy any weapons yet. Then a thought struck her. "Adrian, which weapon do you use to protect yourself with?" She turned to him with her yellow eyes big, tilting her head curiously.

Adrian looked at the Khajiit slightly surprised by the question "ohh uh, well I ussually use a glass dagger. It was pretty exspensive though." he said.

Inorra's yellow gaze soon traveled back to the weapons. "glass dagger? you are right, That must have been very expensive... This one has only... an iron dagger. Didnt have gold to buy a better one." She said rather sadly as she continued touching the swords and bows. Then suddenly her tone changed to cheerful again and smiled. "But once I will gather enough to buy myself something much greater."

Just then the Khajiit running the stand intervened "may this one help you or are you just browsing?" he asked. He was fairly young, mabye early twenties and of the Cathay Subspecies with short braided Mane and a single gold piercing in his right ear, a steel sword hung at his side.

She perked her ears at the shopkeeper's question. She smiled once more and shook her head. "I... I am just browsing. I really like the look of these weapons. You made them yourself?" She asked, tilting her head curiously at the other Khajiit.

The Khajiit Nodded "Yes, this one did make all of the weapons you see, he is trying to become a black smith like his father and his father before him. But nothing Hassiri can make could ever compare to this"the Khajiit said as he motioned to the end of the end of the table where laying in red and black silk woven into a swirled pattern layed two gleaming swords with intricate ebony and gold swirls that seemed to be melted into the blades themselves. The blades themselves had a curve to them like a scimatar but it was in a more Khajiit style. While the grip had a very ornate guard on them. (In any case of confusion, look up Khajiit Sampseera on Deviantart and imagine those except with the gold and ebony designs on them.)

Inorra gasped as the weapons gleamed in the sunlight, her eyes shined and felt awed by the craftsmanship. She walked over to it, still staring only, then slowly but surely went to touch the grip. Her hands moved so slow, but she knew it will be worth the effort. She finally touched the grip and ran a slender finger along it, right to the blade and along that as well, feeling the texture and the smooth, sharp blades. She never saw such swords before, and it interested her. She wanted to buy it and have them as her own, then learn how to fight with them, but her hand lowered to her side and her ears dropped, remembering she didnt have the gold for them. She sighed, still watching the swords. "These surely are fine blades... Interesting design..." Then she perked her ears, and looked at the other Khajiit with curiosity again, as if nothing had happened. "Who made these?"

"These are the Sampseera swords and no one really knows who made them, this one bought them from an old Khajiit soldier who said he had found them in a Bosmer village near the end of the five year war." He leaned in to her close and cupped a hand around her ear and whispered into it "rumor has it they had been forged by a nightfang some time during the begining of the war." he whispered.

Inorra looked left and right, making sure no one was close enough to listen and leaned in to whisper back. "Night fang?" She never heard this term before, but because the Khajiit didnt dare say it out loud, it must be something not too legal... It still sparked her interest. But then again.. what didnt in this strange yet welcoming homeland of hers?

"Near the begining of the five year war Elsweyr had been losing...badly, so the old Mane had held a tournement. The goal was that the last three standing would be crowned the winners. It was because of them really that Khajiit had even won the war. That is all anyone really knows of them, they dissapered after the war and it is illegal to speak of them as declared by the new mane." Harissi said as he quickly went back to cleaning his stand so as to not attract attention.

"But..." She started, raising an eyebrow and leaning over to the other Khajiit again, clearly confused about something. "If these Night Fangs won the war... then why is it forbidden to talk about them? Arent they heroes?" She blinked, getting confused by the law made by this Mane, who now she supposed was the leader of the Khajiit if he could make others do what he wanted.

"Khajiit does not know, we suspect that the new Mane saw them as a threat to his power and had them elimanated. That is all this one can say"the Harrissi said looking left and right to make sure no one was listening in, except for mabye the imperial man who was by them but he didn't look the kind of person who would harm a fly.

"Oh..." Inorra exclaimed, and nodded once in understanding. From the Khajiit's expression she could tell he didnt want to get into trouble, so she held back any question she had about this matter. She was tempted of course, but decided not to press further. There was one question she surely thought wasnt illegal to ask. "How much are these blades?" She pointed at the two Sampseera swords with her head tilted and her yellow eyes glued to them once more. Of course she knew she cant afford them, but why not know how much to collect?

"Unfourtunatly these are not for sale as they have already have an owner, paid quite a sum for them but has not come to collect them. It is strange to Harissi"Harissi said as he looked to Innora with an apolegetic look.

"Oh..." She said once more, feeling slightly down. Her ears dropped again, but she perked them once more to not look weak. otherwise the people will think she is just a whiny little brat. So she tried to think positive. maybe she will come across something just as special someday, which she can buy or claim. Her curious yellow eyes met that of the shopkeeper's in the next moment. "Why is it strange? Maybe they havent got the time to come just yet."

Harrissi looked at her "well the mysterious Khajiit who had purchased them, purchased them nearly a month ago now." he said.

Adrian was dumbfounded "who would pay for these valuable blades and yet not collect them? He pondered this as he waited for Inorra to finish.

"Hmm..." Inorra hummed, and tilted her head in deep thought, stroking her chin with a finger. Then she snapped her fingers together, having an idea to try and solve this problem. "If you have the coin I can deliver these swords to the Khajiit myself... If you know where they live that is." She suggested, determined to get these beautiful swords to their new master as fast as possible. They didnt deserve to sit there unclaimed.

Then the Khajiit said something that threw her off "Harissi dosen't even know who bought them, this one could not see there face, only a feline tail and they did not give Harissi a name. They said that when the time is right he'll come for them."the Khajiit said "but if you wish to deliver something for Harissi" and pulled out a package and set it on the table "if this one could deliver this for Hariisi Khajiit would be very grateful." he said.

The female feline tilted her head for a moment, finding it strange to make business with a stranger one couldnt quite see. In Whiterun such was unheard of. Everyone showed their identity freely. Maybe... that Khajiit had something to hide? However her line of thoughts was broken by the new request of the other, and looked at the package curiously, poking it with one finger like a playful cub. "Sure. Just tell me where to bring it."

"You must bring the Package to a Khajiit known as Kiota Ahriman, he works at a small shop near the temple of the whispering fang but if he is not there then you may find him around one of the many bars across the city. He may be a little rough...and rude but he means well and genneraly has a kind heart" the Khajiit said handing her the package and then turning to a soldier who wanted him to fix his spear.

The Khajiit tilted her head and picked up the package, weighting it for a moment, trying to find out what could be in it. "Who is going to give me payment for it?" She asked, her yellow eyes flashing to the other Khajiit's, wanting to make sure she got the coin. She didnt want to sound needy, but if she wanted to start her life here and survive, she will need every gold piece she can gather. "Also...what does this Kiota look like?"

"Kiota should pay you for your services as for what he looks like, he is Cathy-Raht Khajiit with black fur and three piercings in each ear with white tatoos on his face and neck. He'll most likly be wearing a green Budi."the Khajiit said as he took the soldiers spear and set it down in the back.

Inorra raised an eyebrow at the curt and seemingly easy reply. But all she understood that he must be black with piercings in his ears and tatoos, and some king of green clothes. But what that strange word was made her thinking. It seemed something clear to the other Khajiit, so it must be something minor. She dismissed her confusing thoughts and concentrated on the things she knew. "Thank you. I will deliver it in a moment." She said determined, smiling at the shopkeeper and set out to find that temple the other feline was talking about, totally forgetting about her company, eager to have some coin in her pocket.
