Disclaimer: I don't own anything, again.
::Kevin's POV::
There he is. Steve came in from the front. Where was he? "Hey Steven, where did you go?"
He gave me an annoyed look, like always. "At the hospital-temple place checking on the girl that Bame and I saved." He said that in a showing off tone.
"Don't show off," I said as calm as I could. He shot back an even bigger annoyed face.
"I wasn't trying to, stupid." The red haired girl chuckled a laugh and leaned to the white haired guy.
"Sounds like Vilkas and Farkas on their bad days, eh?" The guy laughed and leaned back.
"Steven, just because you saved a person doesn't make you better than other people."
"Oh my God, I didn't even say that-" He stopped talking and walked out the back door. He never likes to make his case.
"You know, Kevin, it's not good to argue with Steve," Jon proclaimed. He was sitting next to me eating chicken or whatever it is. He's so fat.
"I know. I just like to know things."
He ripped off another large bite of chicken and inhaled the meat. "But still, it isn't good to fight with your brother over something like that."
"Okay fine."
Vilkas gave me a mad look and walked out the back door, probably to look for Steven. It's not my problem that he has anger management problems.
The old guy leaned forward and set his elbows and the table. "Kevin, what's the deal with your brother and you?"
Oh wow, it isn't even that big of a deal. "Nothing. We just argue a lot."
He cocked a brow. "You do know that it's not a great idea to be on bad terms with your brother, with anyone for that matter."
"Yeah I know." What was his point?
"For example, look at Vilkas and Farkas." I pointed a finger at the other twins. "They are best friends, and they are the absolute core of the Companions. You see my point, kid?"
I know what he was trying to tell me, not to fight with Steve. I'll just stop calling him out on his doings. "Yes, I do."
"Good." He leaned back in his chair, took his cup and took long swigs from it. He reminds me a father type figure of this organization or whatever.
Speaking of fathers.. I wonder what my dad is doing. I miss him a lot. And my mom. She must be unbelievably sad right now knowing that we may or may not actually get back home. I miss other brother, Chris. I wonder what's going through his head. He might be happy that he has the house to himself, haha. I also miss Shpuppy, he is the best dog I ever had. I hope I see them again someday..
::Bame's POV::
Well here it is, the infamous town of Riverwood. The mine should be just south of here. First let's see what this place is like around here. Seems pretty straightforward, almost exactly like the game. I decided to go into the Sleeping Giant.
The inn was roughly the same compared to the game. I saw Sven playing his lute and Delphine sweeping the floor giving me a concerning eye. "Can I help you traveler?"
"You are Delphine, right?" She quickly stopped what she was doing and stepped back a little. Her face was in shock. Why was she-? Oh yeah, the Thalmor. "Don't worry, I'm not part of the Thalmor."
She raised a brow and placed her hands on her hips. "Well then who are you and how do you know about me?"
"I have my very reliable sources and my name is Bame."
"Okay Bame. Can we talk in private?" This is going to be interesting. She motioned me to follow her into her room. "Orgnar, the bar is yours for the time being."
"Okay," he plainly said.
I nodded him a greeting and followed Delphine into her room. She closed the door behind me and went to her cabinet. She unlocked the back and the opened the back trapdoor. She walked down the stairs and I followed. Her room was pretty sweet to be honest. She had everything down here.
"So you came here for a reason, right? Did the Thalmor find out where I was hiding?"
"Oh no, they didn't and they won't. Well anyways, I have to tell you something very important."
She leaned down on her table and looked at me right in the eye. "What is it?"
I crossed my arms and leaned back. "The Dragonborn is going to arrive here in a couple days. Alduin the World-Eater will return on the same day."
Her eyes opened up as wide as she could possibly make them and she gaped in complete shock. "Are you serious? How do you know this?"
"Talos told me, in one of my dreams and I knew it wasn't a normal dream. Trust me. And I know where Esbern is."
She almost fell down at the impact of this information. She shook her head, looked down and chuckled a little. "Are you serious?"
"Yep, he's in the Ratway Warrens in Riften. You better go before the Thalmor get to him first."
"You absolutely sure?"
"Yes."
She paused and thought a little. "How do I know that everything that you just said was completely true?"
"You don't. You are just going to have to trust. I know I'm some stranger, but I'm telling you the truth."
She paused again and crossed her arms. "Fine. If you are fucking with me, I'm going to find you and skin you, understand?"
"You won't. Trust me. I have a job to do so I'll take my leave." I walked back up the stairs and out of the inn. I'm pretty sure she's still standing thinking to herself 'what the fuck just happened?'. Hell I would too.
I looked up in the sky and studied the sun to estimate a time. Maybe six in the evening. I gotta clear out that fucking mine tonight.
I started onto the road to the mine. It couldn't be that far off. I came across a couple of wolves. Holy shit, these things are fucking huge! Like almost the size of me. The howled and sniffed. Unfortunately, they were downwind so had me winded. They started running at me barking. I did not want to unsheathe my axe so I decided that Unrelenting Force would clear up this job.
The two wolves got to point blank range and, "Fus Ro DAH!", and the wolves fired off into the air. Much higher than in the game. One landed on a sharp tipped tree stump, ultimately killing it. The other hit a large tree at a very high velocity and didn't get up on its feet. "Well that was fun." I started back on the road.
Around fifteen minutes passed by and I saw a visual of the mine. There was a bandit keeping watch outside. It was a female bosmer. She looked like she was going to fall asleep. Thankfully it was getting dark. I can take her out in no time.
I can see that she was having a rough time keeping her eyes open. I decided that this was the best time to attack. I very quietly took out my battle axe and started creeping to her. She didn't even notice anything. I kept on moving towards her and she still wouldn't hear me. Finally I got in striking distance of her. Swiftly, I swiped my axe and it penetrated her neck, completely decapitating her. She was dead before she hit the ground.
I looted some coin that was in her pockets and entered the mine. Too bad I don't know how to mine.. There were lots of iron ore veins on the walls. Well, I guess that's why I have Eroland Grey-Mane doing my armor and weapons, so I don't have to mine. Oh well I'll keep on moving.
I moved deeper in the mine and I started hearing voices. I came to a large cave and saw two people talking about money. The cave had a wooden bridge going to the other side and water under it. One was cooking in his pan and the other was laying on his bedroll. What was I going to do to take care of these guys?
I looked around for a stone that I can chuck to lure them in. I saw a small stone on the ground, perfect. I picked it up and threw it at the stone wall behind me. The crack echoed through the air and the two bandits heard it.
"What was that?"
"You hear that?" The other guy nodded and picked up his iron sword. The other took out his war axe and they both started walking onto the bridge and slowly approaching me. I hid in the shadows and waited for them to pass by me.
The first guy walked past me and I was going to kill him off first, but then I figured that I would be easier to take out the last guy. The last guy walked past me and stopped in his tracks. "Come on, there's someone here, I know it."
"No you can go, I'll stay here."
"Fine, coward. I get all the coin he gets then."
"Fine." The other guy kept walking up towards the entrance and the other guy just stood there with his axe.
I took out a steel dagger and crept up to him. Quickly I covered his mouth with my left hand and slit his throat with the dagger in my right. He struggled for a couple seconds then he went limp. I dropped him to the ground and waited for the other guy to come back down.
"Well I didn't see anyone. Must of- What the fuck?!" He saw the dead guy and sprinted down towards him. He knelt down and checked him. I quickly lounged towards him and with my short sword. He didn't have enough time to react. I grabbed ahold of his neck and he grabbed onto my arm. I shot my arm up and with my dagger, cut down right onto his forehead. The blade pierced his skull and he died instantly.
I pulled the blade out of his head and wiped the blood off of it. Then I realized how fucked up this was, the way I killed them. Damn. Come on, Bame. Don't feel remorse. They are bandits.
I shook my head and walked deeper into the mine. The bridge was already down so I just walked through the mine. I came across another room, crotched down and studied the cave. There was only three other bandits. One of them with a full set of steel armor. The other two had horrible armor. I looked around the cave to look for something to use against them. Then I spotted something above the two lesser bandits, there was a boulder that was ready to fall big enough to crush both of them.
I don't have anything that would be able to knock it down. An arrow is too small to deliver an impact that would make the boulder fall. I can't throw my axe up there, that wouldn't work out. I wouldn't have a weapon other than my small dagger.
Oh I know, my shout. Unrelenting Force, damn that shout is so useful. But I to have figure out what I would do after it falls. I guess just prepare to fight back.
The leader was in his own little section of the cave fiddling with his coin purse. If I was going to do anything, now was the time. "Fus.. Ro!" The aura hit the boulder and it became unstable. The two bandits flinched at thundering noise. The boulder fell right on top of them, crushing them to death.
The leader fell off his chair and quickly got back up on his feet. "What the fuck?!" I took out my axe and started sprinting at him. He saw me coming at him and he restlessly started looking for his weapon. He picked up a sword, but by the time he found it I was already there in front of him. He was caught off guard. I sideswiped an attack but he blocked it, however the attack had so much force that the sword bent a little bit. He tried to counterattack but I caught his arm with my left hand. My axe was a little too heavy for one handed so I dropped it to the ground and clocked him right in the nose as hard as I possibly could. Then, I had enough time to pick up my axe. I picked it up and sideswiped aiming for his neck. The blade penetrated through his neck, decapitating him.
"Geez, that was easy. I thought these guys would be tough." I took the rest of the gold he had, which was a lot. Around five hundred coins. I saw some pretty suitable steel gauntlets laying on the table and I put them on. Damn they are colder than Chicagoan mobster!
I found a small chest with a lot more coin in it. Geez, around two hundred! I'm getting loaded on a trip like this. I decided that my job here was done so I let out the back way.
When I got outside, it was completely dark. I'm guessing that it is roughly past midnight. I should get back to the Sleeping Giant. Thankfully, there was nothing on the road on my way back. No wolves, or bandits or whatever. I came to the gates of Riverwood and entered the town. Everyone must be in their houses sleeping. I walked to the entrance of the inn and went in. There wasn't a soul other than Orgnar. He was sitting in a chair almost asleep. "Excuse me."
He snapped out of his slumber and got up quickly. He looked disoriented not being able to stay on his feet. Probably a head rush, I hate those. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, can I rent a room?" I took out ten coins and put them on the bar.
"Sure it's yours for the night. It's the first one on the left." He pointed to the first door on my left. I walked to the room.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
I went in the room and closed the door. I took off my very heavy armor and got in the bed. It wasn't like the one at the mead hall, but still good. Definitely not like the one at home. I kinda miss home. It's interesting to be in Skyrim, especially with my friends, but there is a part of me that wants to go back. I'll see what happens.
Here's chapter 7. It seemed a little short to me. Don't worry the next chapters are going to amazing. Well thanks for reading, please review and comment!
