  Prologue 

  It was a cold, damp day in Riverwood, the air was thick with mist, and all but a few guards were out this late at night. No one could see me here, I grew up in this town, so I knew where to hide if I did not want to be seen. Why am I hiding? Why am I not inside a warm inn at this moment, instead out here, feeling nothing but rain drops on my face, well, it's a sad tale and chapter of my life, but also the beginning. 
  
  Most of my young life I had been a different sort of character, I had my fair share of fights with the other kids, but the real difference was my affinity for magic. At the time, our town had never seen or heard of magic, cept' for the tales they knew of the College, which was few indeed. As time grew, my power over this Magic matured, and it was exciting, yet.. People stayed away from me. 
  
  It was upsetting, to have your friends, and even your family cast looks of fear at you. So after I turned a certain age, I left, and did not look back. I learned of a remote crypt, filled with scrolls and books that could help me keep my power under check, and maybe learn how I got them in the first place. As I ventured into this dank, musty crypt, I had all but a single torch, and my blade ready for anything that might surprise me from the dark. 

  When I entered deeper into the ruin, I had heard noises, almost like a whisper that carried throughout the halls. When I came across an odd shaped box, looked like something you would put a corpse in, I shined my torch over it for a better look, when something made a screeching yell at me, I spun around in time for something to knock me to the ground, my torch flies over a few feet, and I'm left in the dark with some sort of monster. Great. 
  
  The creature lands on top of me, my muscles flex as I grab the monster by it's throat and throw it off me with one big hurl. I race towards my torch to get some desperate light, but as I reach for it, the monster blows something like ice through the halls and it goes out, damn it! 

  My mind races as I think of a way out, then my hands start to emit light, the crypt lights up brightly and I finally see who's trying to kill me.  It's a blood thirsty vampire.. and it sprints towards me! I have just enough time to hold up my hands in a block when an explosion of light erupts through the place, and I'm fallen back onto the ground. 
  
  
  ( I have more to write, but, I will later, hope this wasn't to bad... haha )
