Authors Note: first off, this is my first actual piece of writing that is longer than 10 pages, so don't expect a masterpiece. secondly while i did try to stay true to skyrim's geography, i did resize the land and the cities in order to make them more realistically proportioned. Another warning, I make many grammatical errors. Right now im tryign to prefect content first. now that that is out of the way, i hope you enjoy my humble efforts! i welcome all comments and suggestions. If you like this story, by all means share it! i plan to keep writing this story for a while,
so expect updates!

Black Eyes To Blue
Originally a backstory for a D&D Character that got just a little bit out of hand with length and detail, its now morphed itself into a full blown Novella. Its the most effort I have ever put into any creative project in my life. I hope you enjoy it! This is the story of a twenty year old human man, Mardston, as he takes his first steps along the path to becoming a true warrior. Trained as a blacksmith as a child by his adopted dwarven family, and then as a Mercenary Soldier as a young man. Happy where he was in life as a traveling sellsword, he had it all torn away when his first experience with a deadly battle, was a massacre that saw all 500 of his companions cut down in a manner of minutes. Walking away from the engagement by being judged by his enemies as the most mentally weak, and therefore chosen as the designated survivor to go tell the tale of what happens to those who intrude in their woods. Completely alone, with no purpose, no living friends, and no desire to work as the one thing he was trained to do. Mardston starts his journey to becoming a warrior at the bottom of a bottle. Where he is singled out for the most mundane of reasons by a strange young elven woman with unnatural abilities, who chooses him to accompany her on her journey. A journey where she begins the path to learning what it means to be a Hero to those who need saving, and where he stands fast and fights to protect her and keep her safe from all who wish her harm. While the two of them together venture forth to find their new places in a world that has no need of them as they were. - While editing, I noticed that I didn't describe Mardstons physical description well. Jamming it in now, results in awkward and clunky exposition. So I will just write it here even more awkwardly. Mardston stands at 6'2" tall, weighing in at 350 lbs. Built like a bodybuilder from a childhood of keeping up with dwarves, he stands with more than twice the mass and strength of your average human warrior.Complete

Dragon Eyes
"Just because something is considered a well accepted fact, doesn't necessarily make it true" Dragons are vile, dragons are wicked, dragons are evil, and above all dragons are dangerous. Everyone knows this, so did Lynwood, son of the local woodsman. He had read enough about dragons to know of their terror and danger and that they must be killed on sight. Not like he had anything to fear, dragons have long become extinct .....or have they? When sudden peril comes to the simple woodsman home and Lynwood's father is arrested with the accusation of plotting against the king, Lynwood and his sister have to flee into the mountains with a mysterious letter that must be taken to the king's nephew. It is there that Lynwood will discover that dragons are not so extinct after all. Lynwood will find himself tangled in the sticky web of politics, and his one key to getting himself and everyone else out of it will be to put aside his prejudice and come to see dragons for what they really are.

Her twin children, a boy and a girl named Jergen and Embla, keep her on her toes.

The Aldmeri Dominion's presence in Skyrim has tightened, and the wretched Thalmor now walk through the lands with a new authority. They punish indiscriminately, and they have no mercy. Ylva will not stand for the injustice, and now has to face her biggest challenge yet. She has to unite the people of Skyrim under one common battlecry and drive those High Elves back to the lands from which they came. In order to win, Ylva must rely on those she thought she'd never trust, and forge bonds stronger than Skyforge steel.

This is Berk. Its gotten colder as the years have gone by, but we've all grown as a tribe. You see, three years ago, I almost lost everything dear to me. But I learnt the hard way, that you cannot trust everyone, not even your own family. Even though things are settled now, I know there is more to come. And the question of loyalty is going to be tested. *** Three years ago, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was officially declared the chieftain of the Hairy Hooligans on the Isle of Berk. From that day, he's had trials and tribulations, even renouncing his claim to be with the woman he loved. There have been times when he didn't think he would see the light of another day and also days where he was lucky to have loving people and a marvelous council of loyal friends. But the Dragon Master knows that peace will not remain. Now that he is married and a father, life has just gotten tougher and it has nothing to do with the toddler running around his legs all day, or that he now has four night furies on the island or even the masses of wild dragons disappearing. War is brewing on the Archipelago. Caledonia faces civil war as the clans rise up and the Berserkers, having joined forces with the Savages, continue to cause havoc to all those around. Bringing peace is hard, so when tales of a powerful weapon only a true heir can posses to unite the realms are repeated, the archipelago goes into a frenzy to find it. Hiccup faces dilemmas himself - the return of his sister, Adelheid Stefan and a face from his father's past bringing devastating secrets of the Haddock family which could change the line of succession forever as well as a masked dragon rider with a vendetta against his family. He is told he is the only one that can stop the war.

STOLEN [httyd]
- ORIGINAL VERSION - Hiccup Haddock was a child born on the village of Berk, then to be taken by a NightFury in a dragon raid without a trace. But while Stoick and Valka are trying to live while mourning for their lost son, Hiccup is living freely on a Santuarial island created by an Alpha dragon with his best friend, a dragon, the one who stole him, Toothless. Toothless has always told Hiccup that vikings are cruel, horrible people that kill dragons for the fun of it, and that he should stay as far away from them. But when Hiccup gets caught on a hostile, viking-dwelling island, he doesn't know what to do. The Chief's wife thinks it's unfair to torture a child like this, but when Stoick lays eyes on this boy, he has other plans. Will he and his dragon escape in time? Or will his parents soon find their lost son to be returned from the dead? [Original Version only means that there is a new edition, or rather; a Rewritten Copy, which is also in my works.]Complete
