Felt inspired to write this base on my favorite game of all time, since I am getting back to the game I thought i write up a little origins story. There'll be a couple of OC's based on a friend & his cat, I'll be trying to match it up to the current lore of elder scrolls or at least some events before the main game.

Disclaimer: Anything written here is for fun & expressing an idea, but nonetheless I do not own Elder scrolls for it is owned by Bethesda & it's creator.

So hope you'll enjoy!

Prologue:

Tamriel.

A Marvelous world in all of Nirn, world of many cultures, history and the homelands of each various races. But while the lands and the people strive, there will always be conflict of many forms.

Such the oblivion crisis that happened in the 3rd era or somewhat at the end of that, when the gates of oblivion opened up across Cyrodiil and the rest of tamriel. The oblivion gates are what from I understand caused by a cult called the mythic dawn who had summoned one of the daedra princes, the one they called "Mehrunes Dagon" who I believe wanted to bring about the end of men.

But from what I heard from the stories, he was defeated & sent back through the gates of oblivion and they had closed by who was believed to be the last son of Uriel Septim VII, Martin Septim who had used the amulet of kings to sacrifice himself to do this.

Not long after there was some unrest for while with no emperor, so there was some conflicts here & there. But in the end there was eventually a new emperor to take the throne, Titus Mede I.

Later on in the years, his descendant Titus Mede II ascended the throne in 4E 168 & at that time the empire was in a weakened state. So that would took time for Titus a few short years to consolidate his rule before the ultimate test that was put up on his leadership.

Intro:

Which brings us to now, which I reveal about myself, mark down my beginnings & my story in his book should any come across it.

To anyone who wonders who I was, my name is Lucas Sigurdsson, I was born in 4E 171 on the 24th day of the Second Seed & in Chorrol set in the Colovian highlands in the province land of Cyrodiil.

I was a son to an imperial legion captain for a father & a nord shield-maiden for a mother (to be exact a shield-sister, is what are called in Skyrim), the day of my birth was a day of happiness but little did I or my parents know that days to follow would take a turn for the worse for the empire.

After 5 months have passed which have been good for the family, but that had come to end when word of a high elf Ambassador of the "Aldmeri Dominion" came to the imperial city with a "gift" in a cart and from I understand with a "ultimatum" for the Emperor. The ultimatum presented to the Emperor was a list of demands from a staggering amount of tributes, the disbandment of the blades (who had served emperor), to ceded a large section of hammerfell to the dominion & the worst of all, the outlawing of worship of Talos. That last one hit a nerve especially knowing Talos while he was a man many eras ago but he had earned the honour to join with the divines (from what I heard of the legends anyways) & the dominion had the audacity to denounce Talos as divine. Even though the military was weakened during the times of the oblivion crisis & the conflicts through the years and even though the generals warned the emperor of this, he still rejected this outrageous ultimatum the elf ambassador had presented. But when it was rejected, the elf had upended the cart & what was spilled was...

Heads!

Hundreds of Heads of every member of the blades that were stationed in Summerset & Valenwood , thus this had started the Great War!

This War had gone on for five years, which had consumed both the empire & the Aldmeri Dominion.

In those five years of my life, five years of my family enduring this war & hasn't been easy for the other regions.

Most the south eastern regions of Cyrodiil where the Nibenese people that some fled up north or west, some from Bravil were besieged, cut off & while down south where Leyawiin was had fallen to the invaders.

But as for the west, such as Anvil & Kvatch were untouched since the dominion had bypassed them either in between or around them via through Valenwood.

As for Chorrol, well it was somewhat a miracle that it remained unharmed during the conflict but it did took in refugees that were fleeing the fight. Things had gotten bad when Anvil & Bravil had fallen to them but was worse when the Aldmeri Dominion began sacking the Imperial city. From what heard at that time, the emperor made his escape to rally at a point to plan out on how to retake the city & how to go about it.

In the time of 4E 175, Emperor Titus had succeeded in retaking the imperial city (despite most of the city being destroyed), driving away the defeated Aldmeri domination ensuring a victory but the price for this victory was high & every imperial legion were tired, weakened & couldn't bolster up after a long battle.

But at this time, my 5 year old self while trying to understand what was happening during this time, what with my father going out to fight, coming back with a few injuries while my mother would tend to his wounds, take care of me and attend to refugees. It was then I met my friend at this time, it was a month before the war ended...

(A month before the war ended)

A young boy was walking through the town square of chorrol looking about at everyone and to those who were wounded, homeless & just tired. It was when walking by some houses, was when he met a...

???: "hello?"

A voice says to him, as he turns to look at... a Khajiit child around his age, with ??? Fur, with him another Khajiit child but a girl with grey fur & had a bit of a glare at him.

Lucas: "oh hello I'm Lucas, nice to meet you & what's your name? Are you a Khajiit? That's amazing" *holds hand out to shake*

Lucas said a little starstruck, seeing another kid his age but never a Khajiit one for that matter.

The Khajiit child was surprised at this response, since most folk tend to be wary of other Khajiit cause of what they do, whatever that was he didn't know. The girl on the other hand was uncertain about this imperial boy, but felt happy that could be something for her and her 'brother'. With a nudge from her, her brother snapped out of it and happily introduced himself.

'Jon'nan': "oh ah, Khajiit's name is Jon'nan & it is good to meet you too" *Reciprocates the handshake*

Lucas: *smiles "nice name, interesting speech you're talking" *looks to the girl "and you are?"

'Miss Grey': "Miss Grey!"

Lucas: "...Miss Grey??" *turns to look at Jon'nan

Jon'nan: "yep that's her name, believe it or not but Khajiit's sister was adopted a couple of years ago and said to our parents that's the name she will go as"

Jon'nan is explained about miss grey's name & for Miss Grey to smile at that, Lucas was confused but understood.

Lucas: "...ok"

Miss Grey: "indeed so I suggest you be mindful of Khajiit here"

Lucas: "why is that?" He Asked confusingly.

Miss Grey: "Cause this Khajiit is a lady, that's why!"

Lucas: *blinks eyes "pfft hahahaha oh divines ha ha ha"

Miss Grey: *glares "what's so funny?" She said angrily while puffing her cheeks into a pout.

Lucas: "I-i-it's just hahaha the fact you think you're hahah a LADY?!!!! Hahahaha"

Miss Grey: "stop this laughing, Khajiit demands it! Brother do something!"

Only she heard laughter from him as well as she turned to look at him exclamed.

Miss Grey: "brother!!!" She yelled angrily

Jon'nan: "hahahaha apologies sister haha, but Khajiit agrees with the imperial you're not lady hahaha"

As both boys continued to laughing about this, miss grey was getting so annoyed that she resorted to the one thing which would end up being a thing between them.

Miss Grey pops out her claws &...

scratch *scratch

Lucas & Jon'nan: ahhhh/ahhhh

The boys yelled in pain, where their arms were scratched, both turned to look at the smug face on Miss Grey.

Lucas: "what did you do that for??" He asked angrily & in pain

Jon'nan: "yes sister, why harm Khajiit like this?"

And the response Miss Grey gave:

Miss Grey: *smiles smugly "well that's what you get for messing with this lady!" *points at herself

Lucas: "oh yeah, we will see about that" he said challengingly

Jon'nan intrigued by this, figured to join in as well & for Miss Grey...

Miss Grey: "oho this won't end well for you, Khajiit promises this"

As the three clash...

(Time skip)

Lucas: "Jon'nan, I feel like you be like a brother to me"

Jon'nan: "really &...?"

Lucas: "cause I feel like this would our thing in a way but I have to ask... how are we beaten by your sister?!?"

He questioned, wondering as he was under Jon'nan who is being sit upon by the said 'sister', acting like nothing happened.

Jon'nan: *chuckles & shakes his head disbelievingly "Khajiit does not know 'brother' (happy that someone thought of him like that), Khajiit does not know"

Miss Grey: "as I said I am a lady, so don't mess with me" says very happily as she gets off them.

As the boys got they looked at each other, then at Miss grey and she looked at them. Silence for while before they all started laughing finding a little funny, it also brought them ease since with the war going on & so this was nice.

Lucas: "this was something"

as he curiously went to pet Miss Grey, as she purred in confusion on what he was doing.

Miss Grey: *snaps out of the purring "what was that?"

Lucas: "oh that sorry, was curious & so I was petting you" *begins to remove hand off her, but was stopped as Miss grey grabbed his hand to put back on her head.

Miss Grey: "this Lady Khajiit did not say to stop"

Lucas was surprised & amused but continued to pet her, as she continued her purring in an adorable fashion.

Lucas: "so from I understand, hearing what people say, are you both from another & are your parents?"

He asked curiously, as continued to pet Miss grey

Jon'nan: "..." *eyes gets a bit sad

Miss Grey: *looks at her brother in sadness " we are from another land called Elsweyr that was our home & for Khajiit's parents our mother is here in the city yes but our father..."

hesitate to continue that sentence.

Jon'nan: "Khajiit's father is not around anymore"

he says as he was holding back tears, Lucas felt bad for asking after understanding the implication of that statement.

Lucas: "oh... I'm sorry for your loss, i didn't mean to bring up any painful memories Jon.."

Jon'nan: "no need to apologise to Khajiit, Khajiit knows you didn't know but yes he is gone and I know he's in peace" he finishes sadly, remembering his father.

Jon'nan: "...hold up, Jon???"

Lucas: "yeah still your name but a bit short, sorry if you like I can call you by your actual name Jon'n-"

Jon: "oh no no, I confess Khajiit actually likes it & sounds easier on the tongue" *smiles a little, feeling a little better

Miss Grey: "maybe on our imperial friend's tongue, but ours are just fine" points out cheekily

Lucas ignoring the playful jab at him, thought what do next and that was to...

Lucas: "...so do you want to play?"

Jon: *eyes widen "really you want to play with us?"

Lucas *smiles "of course, we're friends ain't we?"

Jon: "yes & Khajiit would be delighted to play"

Miss Grey: "hmmm this lady Khajiit wonders what will we play?"

Lucas: "hmmm..." *thinks then smiles "how about...?"

Miss Grey: "about..?" Wondering what is he going about, only to be booped on the nose.

boop

Lucas: *starts to run "you're it!!! Miss Grey!!!" He laughs cheerfully as he runs, Jon realises what's happening and begins to run himself.

Miss Grey: *realisation on her face " hey get back here! I don't chase, you're the ones that supposed to chase me" she says with mock anger as she playfully chases after them.

From then on we were the best of friends, our parents met and things look bright for us & it was good until...

A month had passed, every part of cyrodiil had heard that war was over & everyone cheered but it also came with a price. As it turns out the emperor Titus had signed a peace treaty with the Aldmeri Dominion called the "White-Gold Concordat", which had ended this Great War but the terms for it were much harsh then anyone cared to realise.

A lot of people were angry about this but some agreed with the emperor that it was necessary to secure the peace, which would the empire a chance to regain the strength they lost in this conflict. There were controversial terms to this treaty:

One was to give cession of a large section of southern hammerfell (which most had been occupied by the Aldmeri forces), which led to hammerfell leaving the empire for what they considered a 'betrayal' & saying that the empire shouldn't have given up the fight. At this time there would have been a risk of civil war if not for this arrangement, which to a point almost everyone welcomed the peace at almost any price.

Second which was by far the worst, especially for the nords inland & in Skyrim which has led to a lot of resentment.

It was the banishing worship of Talos, man who transcended to godhood but since the Aldmeri never considered him a god (not to mention that such a concept of a man becoming a god was absurd in their eyes) so to them he shouldn't have been considered or worshipped as a god.

Which led to some discontent among the people, ones that were considered friends now can't even look one in the eye cause of their beliefs.

In fact if I remembered to came across my parents arguing about this, it was another month after the treaty was signed.

A month later (after the signing)

It was a night after hanging out with my friends which had expanded by our newest addition, a argonian child about 5 years of age (same as us), honestly he was nice to hang out but had very unique name & personality.

First off his name is... Skylar Wigglethrottle IV (as I said unique, some think he is royalty even he does but me I do not think so), a interesting name for a green scaled Argonian & his personality... very nice but has this habit of being drunk. Even though he was a kid at that time and drinking water or milk, he somehow got drunk which should've been impossible.

I think I asked him once about it and his response was: "friend don't got a clue, but I still m- hiccup - managed my life just fine".

Anyways aside from Skylar's eccentric personality, we were approaching my home when we heard...

????: "this cannot be! Those damn elves! They had no right to do that!!!"

A woman's yelled angrily & from what Lucas understood, it was about something the elves but most of them seem nice except the ones in those black robes with gold rims on it & with a nasty personality.

????: "believe me, my love I'm outraged by this after shedding my blood for the empire but I fear there was no other way Sheyenne"

Another voice said, a man trying to probably calm the woman whose named 'Sheyenne' spoke.

Sheyenne: "but Jorn this is Talos we are talking about, we have considered him a divine since he had ascended all those years ago, not mentioned with this banishment has led to strained relations with my people back home. Surely you must understand this, Jorn" trying to plead with her husband, even knowing what he is saying is true.

Jorn: "I know my love, but tis nothing to be undone & we must try to keep talk about this to a minimal. Even more so now if the rumors to be true" reasoning with his wife about the seriousness of this topic, which gave his wife pause on this info.

Sheyenne: "rumours, my love? What do you mean?" She asked curiously.

Jorn: "there has been talk about in the neighbouring regions, talks about the thalmor. From what I heard, it's not good" he says with a grim tone, implying what he heard wasn't good & brings a bad feeling.

Sheyenne: "Jorn, what are you saying? What has the thalmor done to give pau-" she stop mid-sentence seeing me and my friends, my father turns to look in the direction his wife is looking.

Jorn: "oh son, you're home I thought you would be here a lot later then I thought"

he says trying to be reassuring, but to no avail since Lucas was wondering why his parents were talking about & what was the bad thing.

The atmosphere was broken when Miss Grey...

Miss Grey: "um... sorry if this is a bad time, but who is Talos? She heard about the divines but wasn't sure if she heard about this one in particular.

Sheyenne had soften her expression at that question, since the children were curious & knowingly what trouble it'll bring & as such she should still tell them about 'him'

Sheyenne: "well it's a interesting tale, but I feel I might tell it better when we are all seated and with a warm meal"

The kids brighten up with thoughts of yummy food and what might be a story, Jorn chuckles amusingly at this & while he feels it isn't a good idea but understands that they should understand and be cautious in mentioning it to anyone.

So after everyone was seated, began eating the meal that Sheyenne made & thus told the story...

Sheyenne: "listen children this is a tale about a man called Tiber Septim who went gone many names back a couple of eras ago who fought hard & well in many battles for the good people of Tamriel. Some consider him great, some terrible but to all he was an emperor that strive for the best, even give his life for them.

At one point in his life, he came across an artefact, one beyond our comprehension, The Elder Scroll. An ancient treasure that has powers that could foresee what came before, what now & events that yet to come to pass. Only a few could read such a artefact and some are able to see, while others some will lose their sight. But nonetheless a marvellous treasure and it was said that after Tiber Septim reached his end to life, he was rewarded ascension to godhood & became what we now know him as 'Talos'. A man becoming a god to join with the eight divines, which now became the nine and since had worshipped him".

(Some context I'm not sure how Tiber Septim became Talos, but thought I give my best to give a backstory to the best of my ability. So my apologies if it isn't accurate)

The children were amazed at this, at someone becoming more than that and wonder could something like this be achieved?

Lucas/Jon/Miss Grey/Skylar: "wow/wow/ooo/amazing" they said in astonishment, Jorn could do is shake his head amusingly at their expression.

Lucas: "so wait, if Talos is a god then why is he banned from being worshipped?" He asked wondering & Jorn could only sign weary at his son's question.

Jorn: "that's because Son while we consider Talos a divine, the high elves do not for they do not believe a man like Talos to be considered a divine nor he should he be worshipped as one. That's why had that one of their terms for their 'peace treaty', a way of submission & perhaps cause a divide amongst us all. But what concerns me is what they have been doing to people as of late & it is something to do with our worship". He said that last part with dread, Lucas wonder about that last part and asked.

Lucas: " what are they doing to them??" He wondered and before his father could answer, his mother intervened & ended the conversation.

Sheyenne: "now I think that'll be enough of that, but I will say that thalmor will try to find reason to punish us & that's why I'm you & your friends to keep this as our little secret, do you understand?" His mother said assuredly

Lucas & his friends thought about and agreed with her.

Lucas: "of course mum, you know I won't" *smiles

Jon: "Khajiit won't even know what was spoken" *gave a wink to that, which Sheyenne chuckled at that & looked to the other two.

Skylar: "oh ma'am -hiccup- ain't no way that no one would get me to give that up -hiccup-"

Sheyenne shakes her head amused at the little argonian's antics, still wonder how this cute lizard is getting tipsy from milk.

Miss Grey: "um" *sheyenne looks at her "I never tell but just to be safe, pinky promise?" *smiles shyly while holding out her little pinky

Sheyenne laughs at this adorable display & hooks her pinky to miss grey's little pinky

Sheyenne: "pinky promise!" She smiles at the adorable Khajiit

Miss Grey: *giggles "I am a lady after all"

Sheyenne: "indeed you are, indeed you are"

After that Jon, Miss Grey & Skylar left for their homes while Lucas went to his room to sleep, not before his father came to talk to him about something.

Jorn: "son this have been a lot to take in but it is important that you understand about all of this"

Lucas: "of course father I do, after all I got to learn how to fight, right?" He says happily

Jorn: *laughs "oh there'll be time for that someday, heck I'll put in a word with the guards to help train you"

Lucas: "nice"

Jorn: "I think that'll be enough excitement for one day, now my child gets some rest. Good night son" he says as he ruffles his son's hair

Lucas: "goodnight father"

His father closed the door, as he tried to sleep but got curious when he heard his parents talk again about something else.

Jorn: "our son, he is something"

Sheyenne: "indeed, I know there'll be greatness to him, we just don't know yet"

Jorn: "even if he doesn't, it won't make me love him any less but I do worry about the future" as he contemplates about the future and what will become of his son.

Sheyenne: "we just have to have faith in him"

Jorn: "I know my love, but still if there's a way I could see how it will unfolded then I could at least ensure that he-"

Sheyenne: "he will be fine, but I understand what you mean and I know he must be ready when the time comes. Especially if you're thinking what you are thinking about" having an idea what he is talking about.

Jorn: *sigh "the elder scroll, if I could find one then at least-"

But that was all the conversation he could hear, since the rest was muffled by his parents going to another room & left him wondering 'what future will be awaiting me?'

That night I had wondered about, but never could get it out of my head & all I could do is continue on with life.

Some years had passed, my 11th birthday was a month ago but overall it was good. Getting the hang of my sword, learning to use a now & still hanging out with my friends. One thing for sure, that Skylar now had gotten his hands on some mead & honestly I now wonder how he did it and the method on how he kept it hidden. But along the way when everything was fine until one day in the mid year, is when tragedy struck...

(Tirdas, Mid year 4E 181)

It was just a normal day, of people buying goods, members of their respective guilds working for coin, guards on patrol & the sound of swords clashing in the training grounds.

clang *clang *clang

In the courtyard two young boys, a imperial & a Khajiit were practicing their sword fighting, while another Khajiit & a argonian were watching while their sharpen their blades or one was and the other drinking some mead.

The imperial was giving his all and coming out top, his physique was average he still gives the best fight he could & while for the Khajiit he was on the chunky side but do not be fooled on how he looks, he still fights well for someone his size and is more enduring.

Slash, after slash & clash, they begin to charge at one another until...

???: "enough!!" A voice yelled

The boys stopped on what they were doing and turned to look at... the guard captain who had been overseeing their training, he sees they're getting better but knows they got a long way to go before they're ready.

Guard captain: "well fought you two, but that'll be enough today & I suggest you get home before you worry your families".

The boys agreed and went on their way followed by miss grey & skylar who run a bit to catch up.

Slylar: "wow, you both had fought -hiccup- hard today" he says with a slur in his voice

Miss Grey: "Lady Khajiit agrees"

Lucas: *rolls his eyes "always with the lady thing as usual" he says, only to get a scratch for that comment & yelped in pain from that

Miss Grey: "Khajiit has told you oh many times, this one is a lady and you should be respectful to ladies" she reminds dangerously & playfully

Lucas: "yeah, yeah I get it but it doesn't mean that I have ..to like... it" he slowed in his sentence after seeing a commotion happening near his place, he ran followed by the three behind to see what was going on.

Only to see the thalmor taking someone prisoner but not just anyone, it was his mother as he looked in horror of what was happening.

Lucas: "MOTHER!!!!!" He screamed running to stop what they're doing, only for the guards to block his path

Guard: "citizen stand back! you mustn't interfere with thalmor business" he says sternly

Lucas: *glares angrily at the guard "thalmor business?!? That's my mother, they're taking"

Guard: "I'm sorry but we have our orders" he says this as the elves dragged his mother to some scaffold, before an elf captain spoke with disgust in his tone.

Thalmor agent: "Sheyenne Sigurdsson! You are charged with treason against the empire by conspiring to secretly worship a man, talos who by out accords is state is no god. For your crimes, you're hereby sentenced to death! Begin!" The thalmor said with some finality In his voice.

(Death?!? They're going to kill my mum?! For what, worshipping someone that had earned his place?!?)

Were the thoughts going through his head, so without thinking he charged at the elf that sentenced his mother to this death. But never got a chance to draw his sword as elf caught on and cast a paralyse spell on him.

Thalmor: "so the criminal had a son, how unfortunate " he says so cruelly & Lucas just glared at him.

Lucas *trying to move "you have no right to do this-"

Thalmor: "quite frankly I can, cause I must enforce the law especially on this matter"

Lucas: "for what? Worshipping someone that earned the right to be a divine?"

Thalmor: "insolent child!! Talos was no God as much as he was a man and anyone has foolish enough to worship this false deity, is a traitor!" He screamed at this heresy the child had the audacity to speak

Lucas: "maybe it bothers you that a Man managed to accomplish something that is amazing then a damn elf like you would never achieve" he yelled defiantly

The Thalmor stopped in his tracks in rage at what this child had said, no better yet to him he practically declared that he was inferior & that filled him so much rage that he was ready to strike the child here and there. But fate had intervened...

???: "that's enough!!" A voice put to a stop there, which was revealed to be... Jorn, father of Lucas & had got there in time.

Thalmor: "Jorn, unexpected to see you here"

Jorn: "yeah well this is my home and that's my son, Fendrendil Silato" he glared at the elf

Fendrendil stared at jorn a good while before.. sheathing his sword & walking back to the scaffold.

Fendrendil: *smirked cruelly "well divines are in your favour boy! You may live this day, but changes nothing about the fate of your mother" *turns to the executioner "proceed"

Jorn & Lucas turned to look in horror on what's about to happen, so Jorn and friends of Lucas came embrace Lucas before this terrible ordeal.

Lucas: "mum, Mum! Dad do something! Please, no!" He cried in tears of pain & anger, pain of what is about to witness & anger at Fendrendil for this atrocity.

Sheyenne: *looks to her son & smiles sadly "it's ok my child, it'll be ok" as the executor lifts axe ready to swing, with the mother's final words to him: "May Talos guide you son"

Slice

His eyes widened in horror, as he yelled:

MMMUUUUUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

Ever since that day, while I find some rare elves to be good people but for almost the majority of Elvin kind or those that support the Aldmeri Dominion I can't help but hate them especially for the atrocities they had committed including the death of my mother.

Events that led up to this

It has been many years since that day, while I try to move on I just haven't been the same since. All the years that have passed my father has tried his best to provide between his time in the legion (which I joined up when I was 25) until some unknown blindness struck sometime in 4E 197 which led him to stay at home in retirement. So I had been trying to earn a living in my time in the legion to ensure my father could comfortably even we had been distant for a while I still try. But in the legion it has been difficult especially this one elf who came from a family that has ties with the thalmor and for some reason likes to go out of his why to taunt me. Honestly I feel my time in the legion is beginning to end, what's worse I feel i have lost faith in them since the treaty but never realised until now.

I've turned 30 and yet I feel like a change is in the and i don't what to expect but I'll overcome somehow. After all I'm Lucas Sigurdsson & I feel my destiny is close to reveal!

(Image of my character)

(Fredas 1st of last seed 4E 201)

A couple of months had passed since my birthday, things had taken an unexpected twist which I don't know where to begin.

So I'll just list them:

-So there have been more people taken by the thalmor for the 'worship of Talos'

-tributes increased for each region

-legion soldiers not caring anymore

-guilds have almost no work for its members, especially the mage's guild since their magic usage had been stagnated

And the last straw for me is when a incident happened earlier today:

Few hours earlier

A grown man was working on his swordsmanship and blocking to prepare himself, not long til he is deployed. But little did he know it won't happen, cause of...

???: "well, well if it isn't the imperial still working on that flimsy weapon of yours? Can't afford a decent one? The individual said condescendingly.

Lucas turned to stare at the bane of his time in the legion, Valbor Stoanen the worst of all elves.

Lucas: "Valbor don't you have anything better to do, besides interrupt one's training" he said & glared hatefully in anger at Valbor.

Valbor sneered at that response, with thoughts of 'how dare this filth speak to him?'

Valbor: "training is that what they called it these days, swinging that sword like a stick?" *he laughed mockingly

Lucas: "not like you're improving in anything" he said with some snark

Valbor: *glares "damn imperial, you dare speak to me that way" as he gets angrier

Lucas: "you know what, you're damn right I'll speak to you like that, I don't respect nor do I acknowledge & why should I? You're just a scumbag whose kinda just kidnaps people just for their beliefs like cowards" he spat at Valbor bluntly

Valbor grown angry to response, for so long he had to put up with this man cause his commander to keep a close eye on him but enough is enough & so he I sheath his sword trying to cut him down.

Lucas on the other hand had saw this coming at the last minute, barely managed to deflect in time & had stated at the elf at what he just did.

Lucas: "so you sow your true colours I see" seeing that he was trying to kill him, now must fight to protect himself.

Valbor: "I've grown tired of you, so I think I'll dispose of you now!"

So both fighters got ready to attack &…

(Timeskip heheheh)

Long story short, Lucas came out top had disarmed the elf but Valbor refused to give in so Lucas used a spell he learned a while ago & burnt half of his face.

But boy Valbor was screaming in Agonising pain & bloody murder. But they did had witnesses seen this and despite all that, Lucas was relieved off duty & he was outraged.

Lucas: "what?!?? I'm being removed from legion for defending myself?!?" Couldn't believe what he was hearing, it was crazy & the commander couldn't do anything about it.

Commander: "I'm sorry Lucas, while it was defense but Valbor has some ties that we have no choice" he said regretfully

Lucas: "no choice?!? No choice, how about removing him instead?" Lucas had questioned and wondered why the elf got off light.

Commander: "out of the question! If we do that, what's stopping the dominion from invading us again! We barely survived the last war, don't really want to risk there?"

Lucas: "of course not, but he has to at least take accountability"

Commander: "unfortunately my hands are tied, I'm sorry but as of today you Lucas Sigurdsson are hereby relieved of duty, as of now you're no longer a member of the legion"

Lucas: *clench his fists in rage "very well…commander" turns to leave but the commander stops him one last time.

Commander: "Lucas! Look I know things are bleak, but one day it'll be better but until then stay out of trouble. *presents Lucas with a bag of coins "here at the very least, you should get your last pay for your services"

Lucas stares at the bag, he knows the commander did the best he could & so he won't hold it against him

Lucas: *salutes "thank you commander & may the divines watch over you" giving the commander his respect one last time

Commander: "and may the divines guide you"

As Lucas walked out of the courtyard, no longer part of the legion and wonders what will he say to his father now?

(Sometime in the afternoon just after lunch)

Lucas made his way to his home, he came across a familiar trio & that gave him a smile.

Jon: "Lucas! Khajiit is glad to see you again in this fine day!" As Jon goes to hug his friend, which Lucas reciprocates and hugs back.

Jon, friend of lucas while he remains chunky his skills has been imposed over the years and no matter what isn't taken down easily.

Miss Grey: "come now brother, don't hog him to yourself! After all I'm lady and I want my turn!" The supposedly lady says to her brother and I have to say, she actually looks lovely compared to when we were younger.

Jon let's go & miss grey goes for her turn, Lucas had to admit she does give good hugs & a loud belch interrupted this tender moment as the three turned to look at…

Skylar: *smacks his lips for rains of the taste but turns to them "what??"

Lucas: *rolls his eyes at skylar's antics "how many did drink already and tell me you at least got more?"

Wanting a drink himself now after a day like he had today.

Skylar: "what the h-hiccup-hell do you take me for? Of course I plenty of drink with me, so bottoms up!" As he passed everyone a drink, and so they drank as they walked to Lucas home.

All the while Lucas was silent, both Jon & miss noticed but skylar was too drunk to notice.

Miss grey: "Lucas are you ok? You're a lot more quiet then usual" she asked in concern for Lucas

Lucas: *he sighs ruefully "it's a long story"

Miss grey: "Khajiit got the time, we all do & you know that" she smiles in concern & playfully

Lucas: "well where to begin…" and so explain about his time in the legion, how he had to put up a damn elf and the lack of faith & trust from his fellow legion comrade, not to mention now he was removed from the army because of the elf, as they say 'story of my life'.

The three listened and boy were they outraged, they certainly have some ideas for that elf but that's not important at the moment.

Jon: "brother I'm sure everything will be ok, Khajiit believes it, you'll see"

Miss grey: "yes listen to brother, he knows what he talks about… most of the time"-"hey" from Jon at that statement.

Lucas chuckled at their reassurance as goes to drink, only to find the bottle of mead isn't in hand. Confused he turned to look at skylar, who is drinking his mead.

Lucas: "really skylar?"

Skylar: "eh can't help myself" *drinks the rest of the mead "you can't change what I do or what I say accomp- *pukes on the ground & the three stepped away when it happened, oh boy that vomit smells worse then usual.

Jon: "o..k Khajiit suggest you stop the drink"

Skylar: "never!"

As the two argued , Lucas & miss grey talked all the way to his place wandering what will he say?

Only when they got there, they saw a carriage and a very familiar person to Lucas, for it was…

Lucas: "uncle Joesph!!!" *runs to him as they hug, wondering why he is here.

Joseph: "Lucas, my nephew how ya been?"

Lucas: "could be better, but wondering what are you here?" Confused on what brought his uncle to his father, unless his father's health had deteriorated

Joseph: "your father is fine, so don't worry and as for why I'm here… hold up, did your father never tell you??" He asked confused

Lucas: *confused stare "tell me what??" He looked at his friends and they shrugged, not knowing what's going on.

Joesph: "oh I had thought he.. never mind, since I'm here he will no doubt tell you, so come come & you three as well" Joseph ushering Lucas & his friends in.

As they got inside, they saw Jorn and while looked fine, he wasn't too good at the moment. Especially with that blindfold on his eyes.

Jorn: "Lucas is that you boy…?"

Lucas: "yes father it's me, as well as my friends & a guest. It's uncle Joseph, dad" he said with uncertainty

Jorn: "ah Joseph brother, you're here?

Joseph: "of coursey brother, as we agreed"

Lucas looked to his uncle in confusion, wandering what he meant & so asked.

Lucas: "what's going on? Dad?"

Jorn: *stares at where his son might be "this was a long time coming, I confess I should've told you beforehand"

Lucas: " yeah something like that" not sure what to say

Jorn: *sigh I taken it you're not part of the legion anymore?" While a question it was, it was a statement as well

Lucas: "no I'm not, believe when I say that was not my intend-"

Jorn: "I know, I can tell that the elf there didn't make your time easy, did he?"

Lucas was tongue tied at that sentence, cause it was true and so he nodded even though his father couldn't see.

Jorn: "if you thought I was disappointed, then don't cause I'm not" he said which shocked Lucas

Jorn: "truth be told, I allowed you to join was to sharpen your skills and impact would be enough" continuing on what he is saying "after all your fate was never with the legion"

Lucas: * flabbergasted at this " what? Then if this wasn't my 'fate' then- wait, what would my fate had to do with all this?"

Jorn was quiet for while, contemplating on his next words & what it means.

Jorn: "it has been years since your mother died" the reminder stings Lucas at that memory and before it could go further "but if she was here today, she would be proud of the man you are" he said with care in his voice

Lucas: *shedding a few tears "yeah maybe" not sure what to say

Jorn: "but at that time I needed to prepare you for is to come, for what you must do"

Lucas: *confused again " I-i don't underst-"

Jorn: " did you ever wonder why or how I got blind?"

The question give Lucas pause and it spark his & his friends curiosity, they had wondered for a time since he came with no eye sight.

Skylar thought it was a battlewound, but there weren't any injuries on his face to support this, Jon figured some creature spit something that could cause blindness but as for Lucas & miss grey they tried to think on what other ways to blind someone.

So far they came up with nothing, even Lucas if even the divines would or maybe that god that should not be worshipped, Tal-

Then he stopped to think on that, before he was Talos he was Tiber septim and he who was the one who found the-

Lucas: *eyes widen in realisation "no, father are you saying…?" Posing the question of what should even a myth

Jorn: "yes I did"

The others was confused about this & so miss grey asked:

"What did he do?"

Lucas: " my father read an elder scroll!"

The three friends were shocked at this revelation, which was impossible and yet if it's true then it explains the blindness.

Lucas: "but why…?"

Jorn: "I need to see what is to come and what I saw was not what I expect!" Everyone what that meant "I had seen a evil returning to Tamriel, in the time of a civil war, the elves might be plotting this, I don't know but I do know this i had unforeseen you my son as a great warrior that I know you can be" he says as he slowly but shakily stands up and approaches his son.

Jorn: "for this is why I have prepared you as best I could, cause you're my son and your destiny is greater then anyone & I know I would always be proud of you my boy no matter what"

Shocked and surprised by these revelations his father presented to him, he at times thought his father didn't care, but he was wrong. His father had faith in him & that he'll admit is one of joy.

Jorn: "you had attend to me all these years, now there is no need to do so anymore. For my brother Joesph will be taking me to the temple of the ancestral moth priest where they reside, the ones that are blind.

Lucas was confused and wondered why he-

Jorn: "this place is no longer a home for us, the time had come for us to move on. Especially you my son, your destiny awaits"

Lucas: " my destiny, what is my destiny?"

Jorn: "for that the scrolls could only show me possibilities but they only need to one place. For which you must go to Skyrim, the home of your mother's."

Lucas: "Skyrim? I have to go to Skyrim?"

Jorn: "I know it's a lot to take, but believe me that's where your fate takes you to & you will find your path" as he began to cough, his brother led him to his bed.

Lucas was wrapping his around all this but he admits what if this was it, what then?

Joseph: "I know he sprung this on you but trust me, if he says it is then it's a path you alone must take" he turns to rest in one of the rooms before departure

Jon: "perhaps in the morning we should make travel somewhere to talk, all of us"

And so with that everyone had slept, by morning everyone had decided to follow Jorn & Joseph along the road as far as they could, making small talk along the way. It was until they came to a path which Jorn and Joseph depart for and bid their last farewells to Lucas.

With a bit more distance & two weeks had passed in which we came to a road that led to the borders up north.

Lucas was confused by this, while they talk along their travel they didn't talk about what happened in his house days ago. So now he wonders why they brought him here.

Jon: "brother" *lucas turns to him "a long we did yes, a long to find the right words but I feel it all be the same & so I will just say. I think you should go"

Lucas: "what? But what about you?"

Jon: *smiles sadly "I'll be fine, besides Khajiit must confess he has been thinking of retiring to homeland anyways"

Lucas was surprised by this, as he shed tears for this could be the end.

Jon: "if I'm honest this was greatest times of my life, I'm glad to consider you a brother & so even Khajiit knows it's time to let go. I'll miss you brother" as he goes to hug his friend/brother for the last time & Lucas can't help reciprocate as thinks back to the times they have been at each other's back.

Lucas: "miss grey, Skylar what about you both?"

Miss grey was crying to that and skylar couldn't drink with this sadness.

Miss grey; "we are going with my brother, back to elsweyr for it had been a long time since I seen my home. So I want to see it again"

Skylar: *smiles sadly "honestly I think I need a change for once" they all laughed at that "but I feel we were gonna part ways one way or another & while it's sad I'm still glad i got see and hang with you all one last time"

Lucas stared at all of them, his friends, his family that stuck by him and wanted see them for this last time.

Lucas: *sniffs "I guess this is goodbye then" as smiles sadly

Skylar gives him a bottle of the rarest mead

Skylar: "don't drink it all at once"

Lucas: "you know I'm not like that"

Skylar: "I know"

Lucas: "miss grey- no, lady grey I'm gonna miss you"

Miss grey; *shocked for once then laughs as she hugs and gives the last clawing "damn it, now you call me a lady"

Lucas: "honestly, I did know you were always lady, no matter what & I will miss you"

Miss grey: *crys at that "me too Lucas, me too" hugs one last time

And now Lucas turns back to Jon

Lucas: "well buddy this was a long run"

Jon: "heh heh heh indeed it was, but Khajiit did say what was true though. I'm glad I consider you my brother" as he holds back tears and they hug it out one last time

Lucas: "me too, I glad you were my brother, brother!"

As they let go, they began their separate ways but Lucas turns one last time to wave his farewells to the friends he considered family and they waved back.

It would be perilous but he'll make it.

As for the three…

Miss grey: "brother…?"

Jon: "hmm, sister?"

Miss grey: "do you believe we will see Lucas again someday?"

Jon thought long & hard about that

Jon: *looks at his sister with a smile "whether in this life or the next, Khajiit may not be certain but in his heart, yes i feel we will see him again someday"

Miss grey: "that's nice, thank you"

Skylar: "well despite this sad ending, I say we make the most of it and get on with our journey" as gulps down a bottle of mead

Jon: *laughs at the antics "yeah why not, eh?" Turns to where Lucas gone in "brother may Talos guide you on your journey and may the road you walk lead you to warm sands" giving Both prays to his brother before walking in the direction of elsweyr.

And that was the last I saw of my friends, but I know we will cross paths one day. Anyways it was the 15th of last seed and I just got to the borders but little did I know was when I get knocked out when I least expected and brought to a place where my journey starts…
