My Weapons Check

AN: The pic above is Aris' weapons and armor. Aris is 17. Legolas one of my characters on the Skyrim.

Legolas shook me awake. Yesterday he said we're starting my training tomorrow. I have to admit I'm excited. I really want to train and be good at swords, and archery. He also said I would have to not only be good at the violent stuff, but I would need to be able to be good at learning.

I suppose he is right. I mean I don't want to be a complete num-skull.
"Wake up, for gods sake," He mumbled.

"Fine, fine just stop shaking me," I complained. Hey I am used to a bed with a wooden frame and that's it. I didn't want to get out of this nice and comfy bed. But I realized that I was be disrespectful by not being grateful for this bed so I shot up quickly. I got dressed with the clothes that were provided for me.

I saw some steel armor right on the dresser. I put it on and it didn't feel right. I looked at Legolas for help. He just laughed.

"You put it on backwards," He said trying to contain himself but barely managing to. He walks over to me and takes off the chest piece and turns it around. A couple minutes pass and he finally get the armor on me.

"There that should do it," He said satisfied. I look at myself in the bronze polished mirror. I looked pretty good. The armor looked good one me and it made me seem older.

"Alright let's go to the armory," He said.
"The armor," I repeated in my head. I wonder what is in the armory. Would I go for the bow or a sword. Or maybe a battle axe. I smiled and followed him out of the room.

We walked to a room a door that's was covered with gold and sliver. Two guards flanked the entrance. "Dragon Born," They said as they nodded and opened the door. We walked inside. I was amazed at all of the weapons choices. I looked around dumbfounded. I saw exactly what I wanted. A bow with some glass arrows, two glass swords that fit into the arrow holster along with the bow.

I quickly pointed at them and Legolas nodded. "You will need a shield too. Um what kind of shield do you want?" He said pointing at the rack of shields.
There was a shield made out of every kind of material. I saw him get his shield. The shield was made out of dragon scales. Each on top of each other. The handle was made out of bone. Maybe dragon bone but I didn't know.

"I want that one," I said.
"No this is my shield you can have any other one," He said with a smile on his face. I looked at the rack again. I saw a banded iron shield or a glass shield. This was a hard decision. The glass shield was a better choice if I wanted to protect myself. I quickly decided to chose. I decided on the glass shield. I walked over and picked it up.

The shield itself was kind of heavy but if I was carrying this around I would get used to it. Legolas come over and slides the shield over my back. It was heavy but then I got lighter.

"Elven Magic. Lets you carry a lot without hurting you. Lets go get you some potions," He said. I thought about what he said. Elves were good with magic so why not.

We walked out of the armory and we turned left into a little room. In side was a wizard. The whole place was boiling or broiling something.

"Hey Matza," He said. Then Matza looked up from his book and he was Redguard from what u could tell.
"Ah want to get some potions for this young man. I'll hook you up for a long lasting love potion for 150 septims," He said winking at me.

"We do not need you petty hospitality. Just give us some health potions and we are gone," He said with an annoyed tone.
"Fine, fine. Whatever you say. Any poison? Maybe frostbite venom?" He asked.
"Um... Maybe some weak poison," He said. Matza gave us a couple of bottles full of liquid. Legolas put the bootleg in my small pack.

"So are we going to go train or what?" I asked.
"I find you best train when your in a life or death situation," He said. His voice made me very concerned. What did he mean by life or death situations?
I answered my on question. We where going on a quest.
