[IMPORTANT!: This is the older version of Fighter that you DON'T want to read. For more information on why this still exists and why there's another version, read the A/N in the other version of Fighter, the new and improved one. :3] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Seeing is believing. Too bad looks can be deceiving. - Fraternal twins Alessia Snake-Shield and Amelio Nyhte have spent almost half of their lives on the run. Ever since their parents died from a bandit raid when they were both thirteen, they have thieved from markets, raided homes, and murdered the innocent together. Now, after ten grueling years with a routine of havoc and crime for the pair, they've been found out. After murdering the ruler of Skyrim, Emperor Titus Mede II, they were followed to their hideout in the woods by the authorities. Disaster ensues and the siblings are separated. The result? An adventurous tale filled with permanent mistakes, broken promises, life-altering secrets and perils, and the tale of how two thieves became two heroes, in their own separate ways.

Helvia Abgrall, a naïve and restless young Breton farm girl, leaves her comfortable and uneventful life at her family's farmstead in High Rock in hopes of attending Skyrim's College of Winterhold, as she longs to learn more about magic and how to use it, as well as to improve upon her own natural aptitude. However, she's anything but prepared for the journey that lies ahead of her. She's inexperienced, clueless, nearly incapable of fending for herself, and her lack of common sense is almost unreal. However, she's determined to make a better life for herself than the one she had before, and her resolve alone might just be enough to help her reach her goal. Well, that is, if things were going in her favor to begin with. There is another force that seeks to divert her path to a less pleasant venue, and it is far stronger than she is. In order to keep herself from losing sight of why she even left home in the first place, she'll have to stay ahead of a surprisingly powerful, on-the-rise faction in a foreign land - and she won't be able to do that alone. This aspiring mage will travel alongside pickpockets and pariahs, mercenaries and monarchs, and many more intriguing inhabitants of the province of Skyrim on the way to achieving her dream - and, just maybe, she'll befriend a few of them along the way way. But her path will not be an easy one - at least, not the one that she's hoping to take. She will have to make sacrifices and learn to adapt to unfavorable outcomes, and, in the end, she may learn that following her dreams might not be in her best interest.
