  As Dragon goes to order us some food, I sit around and try to observe the tavern. It is relatively dark, with the exception of a few lanterns spread across the building, and a small fireplace in the middle of the main room. Music is playing by the local bard, a Dark Elf woman. The music sounds amazing, it was a song called "The Tale of the Tongues", a song about the fall of Alduin and the celebration of the Dragonborn... Whatever either of those were. Dragon comes back with some food; some beef stew for me and some vegetable soup for her. As we sit and eat, a man in black robes walks up to us with a bottle in hand. "Here friend, want a drink?" He asks with a smile. "What is it?" I ask, noticing its in a orange bottle. "It's ale, want some?" He asks again with the same smile. "What's ale?" I quietly ask Dragon. "It's a drink." She tells me. "Why are you just giving away alcohol sir? What's your name?" "My apologies, my name is Sam Guevenne. I have just been given a small fortune from my family and I wish to share it with others." He finishes by taking a swig of ale. "Tell you what... Order whatever you want on the menu, it's on me." Before either Dragon or I question this, he pulls out a bag. When he opens the bag, it is filled to the brim with coin and gems. We walk up to the barkeeper and order a few bottles of ale. After a few minutes, the barkeeper returns to us and handed us our drinks. As i eye the drink i notice the strange color of it. I ask Dragon if there was something wrong with it, but she tells me that it was how all ale looked. We took a drink from our ales. I love the flavor of the drink, it is hard to describe the sensation I am getting from it, but it feels... Great. We order another bottle, and another, and another... Until all we see is blackness. I struggle to open my eyes, everything I look at is blurry. I look down and see that I'm fully covered and in bed, I don't remember going into a bed... What's worse was I realized I was in nothing but my small clothes, what happened to my armor? But then, as I looked around the room,searching for my gear, I feel something moving at my side... As I look down, I see it is Dragon, she is asleep and also in nothing but her small clothes... What happened last night?! (Yes this one is short, but I hope to make up for that in the next chapter. Stay tuned)
