The Country of Samavia

New Beginnings

I wake up to rays of sunlight seeping through the roof of the house, "agh, got to get this stupid roof fixed." I say as I slowly get up and out of bed, I put on a white dirty blouse and start heading towards the kitchen. I take a quick glance at my sister who is still in bed, she's probably exhausted from yesterdays hard work in the garden. we have to grow our own vegetables to sell at the market to keep up rent on the house. We only have a small house, one dining room and a bed room that myself and my sister have to unfortunately share. The only way I provide good food for myself and Luna, is to go hunting during the daylight. There are lots of deer out lately, it's a shame really, my sister won't let me bring home deer, because apparently its offensive to thorn, the elk that randomly appears in our garden.

we found him in the woods with a broken leg, so we looked after him till he was completely healed. When we went to release him, he just followed us back home. believe me, I tried getting rid of him, I even threatened that I would eat it. But my sister just screamed at me. Unfortunately, it ended up staying. However, I had nothing to do with it. That was Luna's responsibility's and nobody else's.

I walk over to my dresser and tugged on a green dress over my blouse for extra warmth. I had also decided on some leather boots that reached just below my knees, and the coin purse of the table. I quickly make Luna breakfast, and sat it out for when she would wake up.

As soon as I close the door behind me, the harsh icy weather of winter had hit me. It wasn't snowing and the lakes weren't frozen solid, but damn it was cold!

I started heading towards the jarls household. I had to go and collect my money they had owed me three days ago for killing a bear that had "apparently" killed a townsman guard. They were probably just wanting its fur coat for some petty carpet, but it was a job, and you can't turn down money like that in times like this.

As I walk inside I see a young girl, about my age, walk up to me. She was a dark elf. Long black hair bounced at her shoulders as she walked, and every time the sun would hit it at the right angle, you could see strands of purple scattered throughout her locks. She was wearing a long beautiful, green curve dress with brown under skirts, she had a bow, a sword in her hilt and a dagger pushed into her shoe. Beside her was a white fox that was no smaller than a wizards hat, and she looked extremely happy, no one was ever that happy in times like this, unless you were crazy, or rich. She was obviously crazy...

The young lady walked straight up to me and held out her hand "Hi I'm Daisy Adragna, I've been looking for someone to help me get to Winterhold," I shook her hand that seemed to be so delicate, almost as if I was to accidentally scratch her with my nails, her skin would slice and scar.

"Im Alayni, and you don't really look like someone who needs help, may I ask why?" I give her a questioning look.

"well I use to be an adv.enturer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee"

"ahh yes, yes- wait what?"

"I need help getting to winterhol-"

"no after you said that"

"I use to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee?"

" yea, I thort that's what you said, YOU...use to be like...ME! but one arrow to the knee stoped you, do you have any idea what its like outside the city? I've been shot by hundreds of arrows, I've been stabbed, slashed at, set on fire, electrocuted, frozen! sometimes all at once! I cant go into any kind of castle or cave outside without running into vampires or wizard or bandits, sometimes 'vampirewizaredbandits!'. I took some flowers to my nans grave the other day, and you know what happened?! she rose from the dead and tried to cut me up with a bloody axe, I had to chop her head of! I've got these bloody black robe maniacs, who want to turn me into some medieval hit man all the time worshiping a stupid corpse! and when I do finally trip back for some peace and quiet there's always this great snob who's got some Monday little eren for me at the run... I cant take 10 steps without some god-awful beast of the wild come up to me! I'm talkin' Bears, Trolls, hoards of walruses, there's hundreds of the buggers!, and then some mad women came up to me the other day and asked me for a wabberjacker? like I know what that means!?
