I think I may have forgotten something important here. Shouldn't I have chosen my class by now, there was most likely more important things to be concerned about like, getting to Riverwood, talking to Alvor and other things but still.

[Mage] LVL 0/100 (0/7900)

The magic of well basics, a mismatch of all mage classes, you can pick a more specific one when you max this class

Grants 5 INT per Level - (0)

Grants 5 WIS per Level - (0)

Useful, since it's the mage class, any use of magic skill should up the level. Hadvar was already up ahead, I started walking to catch up to him, he didn't seem to be in the mood to talk, I wasn't either, I had things to think of, there is a camp somewhere along here that I want to check out, but I'm not sure where it is. The mines are also something for XP farming. "See that ruin up there? Bleak Falls Barrow. When I was a boy, that place always used to give me nightmares. Draugr creeping down the mountain to climb through my window at night, that kind of thing. I admit, I still don't much like the look of it." Forgot he didn't like that, well after talking to the Riverwood trader owner, I'll most likely have to head there, maybe I can make friends with Faendal or maybe steal Camilla from him and the other guy, something with a S.

We came upon the three standing stones, I knew my decisions. "These are the Guardian Stones, three of the thirteen ancient standing stones that dot Skyrim's landscape. Go ahead, see for yourself." Walking up to the Mage stone, I wait for the pop-up.

Would you like to take the blessing of the Mage Stone?

Y/N

Yes please, the stone started glowing before sending a beam of "magic" into the air.

The Mage Stone

The blessing of the mage stone lets you learn all Magic skills faster.

Passive boosts

Magic XP Boost - 25%

Useful in the long run and the short run, there were thirteen cross all the holds and I'm pretty sure collecting them is an achievement in Skyrim and getting the blessing of one is as well.

Fine. Hint detected.

"The mage stone, can't say I'm surprised, though it might benefit you to take one of the other stones" maybe I could come back for the warrior stone later. "I'd rather reap the benefits of the mage stone early on, it currently my main line of defence" "Fair enough" so Hadvar understands. We continue walking after this we were done with this for now "Listen, as far as I'm concerned you've already earned your pardon. But until we get that confirmed by General Tullius, just stay clear of other Imperial soldiers and avoid any complications, all right" that was advice that might be hard to follow, for now "I'll do my best to avoid unnecessary confrontations" as we kept walking towards Riverwood, I kept an eye out for the wolf encounter, with my advanced level, I might just end up fighting a frost troll instead, or I'll get lucky and encounter no one, who knew that was possible. I'll ignore the wolf corpse lying on the field for now. Who knows what killed it.

"Come on. I'll feel better once we're under cover in Riverwood." We're just a few meters away from it, why do we need to hurry up, look there's the gate. "I'm glad you decided to come with me. We're almost to Riverwood" Riverwood looks mostly the same as it does in the game, scratch that exactly, no creativity.

You really don't want creativity, trust me.

I'll heed that warning. There's Alvor working the forge, I am taking him up on that training, after Bleak Falls of course. "Things look quiet enough here. Come on. There's my uncle." Let's just follow him further, supposedly I have no clue where to go, well, I am a nord, so maybe I know this place, where's my back story?. "Uncle Alvor! Hello!" Alvor turn to Hadvar when he heard his voice "Hadvar? What are you doing here? Are you on leave from..." he paused as he looked Hadvar up and down, yeah we weren't the prettiest looking at the moment, Helgen was hell on us "Shor's bones, what happened to you, boy? Are you in some kind of trouble?" I'd say the answer to those questions is a resounding maybe. "Shh... Uncle, please. Keep your voice down. I'm fine. But we should go inside to talk." Don't want to panic the general populace, but the old lady saw the dragon, but people also thinks she's crazy so "What's going on? And who's this?" Hi, I'm Kin. I should've said that old loud. "He's a friend. Saved my life in fact. Come on, I'll explain everything, but we need to go inside." Do we, "Come on inside. Sigrid will get you something to eat and you can tell us what happened." The two of them head inside, let's just follow, I don't think I can ignore this and head to the general shop so long, I'll check on the inn to when this is over. "Sigrid! We have company!" I barely heard that as I walked into the house. "Hadvar! We've been so worried about you! Come, you two must be hungry. Sit down and I'll get you something to eat." She looked at me after greeting Hadvar, "Oh, who's your friend" I guess that's my queue to introduce myself "I'm Kin, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time" that seems like a perfect description of what is currently going on in my life.
