Fawn's Journal; Entry #5

• Posted by Master Zixx February 19, 2013 - 838 views

  One thing I had not anticipated from the Reach were the damned winds.

  And my rotten luck had struck me again. Vampires were attacking Markarth. And not the petty kind either. These were ancient ones. The whole city was in an uproar. I decided to join in the fray but their life drain knocked me right out.

   

  When I regained my consciousness I was on the back of a cart with more knocked out or dead people. Cattle for the vampires. I was not going to become some blood bank, not for those wretched creatures. So I jumped off the cart on a racekty rocky road. They did not even notice.

  My only probem was I was now stuck in the wilds of the Reach with nor but rags and my Journal.

  And I was freezing. Though through bitter perseverance and remembering my survival skills from my winters in Cyrodill I toughed it out.

  Collecting stones and deadwood I made myself a campfire and a simplistic and primitive hatchet.

  By chance while gathering I found a dead bandit lying over a chest in a small clearing. I decided to set up my camp to be there. The bandit had a lockpick and I unlocked the chest finding some gold and a woodcutters axe inside. I took tha bandits fur to stay warm. Thank the Divine’s for sending me some luck. And more was to follow.

   

  I was busy creating a bow from the wood I had chopped with my new axe and the pelt of a wolf when a band of hunters crossed my path and traded me some food I was dying for. I was luckier than I could have hoped to be. I had enough for a couple hunks of meat and greedily ate them raw, I could take it without being sick because of my lycanthropy. But I was still hungry. The moon is on its way and I will feed then. I don’t have a tent yet, just a campfire and some wood. I am saying goodnight Journal, I won’t write for another couple days and the sun is setting.

  Sorry for the short one. I only had half an hour's gaming session today.

  I hope you enjoyed, comments would be appreciated.
