Skyrim, The Bloodlust Within

The Mysterious Bow

Waking up the following day to see the daylight shining through the crack in the door I yawned and stretched, my claws extending and tail waving. I wasn't sure what time it was, but if the sun was shining through the door I guessed it was early morning, as I never slept well during the night, as the nightmares of my previous and past life clouded my mind often. As I got up and put my armor back on, I noticed something in the corner of my eye, upon further inspection I found it was an Ebony Bow, crafted and improved up to the best standard. As I ran my paw down the bow I could see that this must have been a prized possession, as the bow seemed to emit a faint blood colored glow, it was also enchanted, but what with I did not know, the mage up at Whiterun could know more, and that was where I was heading.

Looking around to see if I could find any Ebony Arrows I could only find just above a few dozen, hidden under the bed and behind the table. 18 Ebony Arrows. Good enough, better save them for later. Picking the Arrows and Bow up I equipped them on my back, and put my Ebony Dagger in my sheath. Unlocking the door and heading into the inn I saw Orgnar asleep in his chair, sighing to myself I decided it was best to give food a miss for the moment, perhaps I could get some food from the stalls in Whiterun when everyone was awake. I walked out the door and got ready to set off to Whiterun.

As I stepped outside the sunlight caught my eyes, making me hiss and squint, focusing and looking at the sky the sunlight was just above the horizon, it was very bright, the air was clear and blue, not a single cloud could be spotted in the sky. As I stepped down the stairs and about to leave for Whiterun I heard someone call me.

"J'zargo! Wait!"

Turning around I could see that it was Gerdur, the nice women who I met when I came with Ralof after the Dragon attack in Helgen.

"Hello" I replied, smiling.

"I was wondering where your off to today, we haven't seen you much, is something troubling you?"

"Not at all, I'm quite alright, you need not worry yourself, I am heading to Whiterun for some personal issues"

"Well, it's good to see you, here, take this, it should last you until you get there"

Reaching into her Sactual she pulled out a piece of Salmon Steak, holding it out she motioned for me to take it, then said

"Here, we went fishing the other day, caught loads of Salmon, so I started to cook some, here, you have it, it'll satisfy you until you reach Whiterun"

Thanking her and taking the food I made my leave for Whiterun, without knowing that what I thought I saw last night, was following me...
