The Life Of An Absol In Skyrim: Book 1

Chapter 9: Bandit Attack

The Dragonborn gave me a 1000 septims to spend on my journey. I got a cart ride to winterhold at the stables. I got on the cart, and took a nap. When I woke up, we were almost to Wayward Pass. Then suddenly a wheel fell off the cart. The horses freaked out. The cart man asked me to help calm them down, and cut them free. So I did. He then said said we had to ditch the cart. I went down the Wayward Pass guiding the man with his 2 horses. 3 bandits jumped down from some rocks, and tried to steal the horses. Bandits all rushed ne I used my aura to sense them and my next move. The 1st man grabbed his handle. Before he could draw his weapon, I stabbed his chest with my horn. The 2nd swung a sword at me, but I blocked it with my horn, then spun around him, and psycho cut his weapon in half. Then bit and held his wrist. I sensed the third throwing a war axe at me. So I pulled the second in the way, and I went in his skull. The third ran for it in fear, and escaped. I gave the dwarven war axe to the cart man and said  in case there are any more dangerous encounters. He kept it. We made our way through the pass and saw a burial. I paid respects and put a little coin on the table. His skull was missing from the skeleton strangely. When we made it to the exit of the Pass, I turned back, and saw a headless spirit waving bye to us. I waved back, and continued. The only civilization is Winterhold, and that's still pretty far. I told the man we need to make it to Saarthal, and rest there. Hours of walking, and we made it. We tied the horses to a wood beam. Later though I see on the cliff above us a bandit. It was the one that escaped. He was yelling he was going to have his revenge for his fallen brothers, but I shot a psycho cut at him and decapitated him. Suddenly I heard yelling, and a roar. He brought friends, and a Shiny Luxray, but my aura sensed his mind was altered. Then a man walked up at the cliff . By his cloak could tell he was a necromancer, and a real skilled one to mind control the luxray. I had too save him. He said give the horses and I will spare you. I talked to the cart man and told him that the luxray was mind controlled and told him maybe we could save him by giving him the horses for the luxray. The man agreed so we could avoid any conflict. I asked the necromancer we’d give the horses for the Luxray he agreed. I asked the man to stay down here.
