Wow in 1 ½ days I've had 30 hits on both of my stories!! I'm really freaked out that anyone would read my stories but…Oh Well.

I'm sorry the first chapter was really short but it was really an experiment to see if I could actually post it on the site. As soon as I knew I could do it I posted another one. Plz check that one out if you liked this one because it takes place in Morrowind. 

Read and Review!! Especially if you see a grammatical error because sometimes I don't catch those!! Just give me the chapter and the paragraph and tell me what's the matter with it. I really appreciate your support.

P.S. I have NO idea where I'm going with this story. The idea came from a dream I had a long time ago and I'm just trying to remember what happened in the dream.

Silver woke up soon after she had fallen into oblivion. The sun beat down unrelentingly as she lay in the sand for a moment trying to make the world stop spinning. She shook her head and rubbed her eyes, which felt heavy as if she needed to sleep.

Her ears perked as she heard a soft scuttling sound nearby. She lifted her head to see a small mudcrab looking back at her. Mudcrab are notorious scavengers and they can eat just about anything and what they really love to eat is the dead flesh of another animal. Silver shuddered as she remembered that tidbit of information and wondered if that was going to be her fate.

She stood up painfully and looked around her. The sun was just beginning to set ever so slightly but it was still too hot for her taste. Morrowind was much more temperate she thought to herself.

The "pond" she had stopped at was actually a very small river, almost a stream that ended in a little pool. Yet small as the river was, someone had taken the time to build a bridge over it instead of just walking around it. Silver stumbled through the loose sand to get to it.

Under the bridge was a small gap of sand before the underside of the bridge reached down to the water. Silver examined it and wondered if she could use this for shelter for the night. It was certainly better than nothing. She used her good arm to dig out a small hole in the sand. The digging was slow going with only one arm and having to constantly stop to make sure that the open wound in her side hadn't started to bleed again.

When she had made a big enough hole for herself to sleep in comfortably she sat back in the sand and watched the sun set. It was sinking below the mountains to the West in an explosion of pinks and oranges. White Gold Tower was right in front of her, standing like a sentry above the surrounding countryside making her feel a little safer. As she watched she remembered that they had no emperor. That's really depressing, she thought all those people without someone to lead them. I wonder what will happen to this country now…

Suddenly her attention was diverted from her wondering. The mudcrab she had seen earlier was just now catching up to her and she had only moved 5 yards and not only that but she had been working for two hours digging a hole. She rolled her eyes and took out a small dagger and held it in her lap, waiting.

When the creature got within arms reach she took the dagger and stabbed the thing in the middle of its hard shelled back. The outer shell cracked and splintered as she forced the blade down through the soft tissue. The creature didn't even flinch and when she pulled her dagger out of its back it fell in a slump. She grimaced as she wiped her dagger off. The thing looked like dinner but she knew better. Mudcrabs were notorious for being scavengers AND that their flesh made the worst meal in the world because the meat stank and if it wasn't cooked properly the bacteria in it could kill you if you weren't careful.

Silver sat wondering what to do with it now that it was dead. If she just left it as she slept it would attract scavengers and that was the last thing she wanted. She also had no interest in cooking it because that was a long and often fruitless activity.

Silver stood up laboriously and grabbed the crab. She walked a few yards until she found some bushes. She tossed it in the bushes and wiped her hands off on her filthy pants. By now the sun was almost completely set and stars were starting to peek out of the darkness. Silver looked above her at the familiar twin moons that guarded the land, casting a faint light to guide late night travelers.

Silver crawled into her hole in the sand, lying on the side that didn't have a chunk missing out of it and tried to fall asleep.
