The call had come, shaking the very mountains to their core and cracking the sky through it's thunderous volume. Even now it echoed unending inside her head, a constant beat beckoning her to follow. Frightening but with the absense of threatening. She hadn't known why it had called her name, why it had spared her any thought and dragged her out of the constant loneliness that she led her life in. But then, she liked it that way, with no objective, no purpose, just her and the world in all its wild and beautiful glory. But now, the voice had called her, it had called her. And for someone reason, unbenknowst even to herself, she had been compelled to answer. To follow. Perhaps she should have fought against this feeling, said no to the world like so many times before and turned her back again. But this time she couldn't ignore the feeling, and followed it with urgency. Perhaps it was destiny, though to herself that sounded stupid, and she didn't believe in such.

Eleania Verdelf raised her arm as the wind battered aginst her, attempting to rip her off of the mountainside with it's vicious snowstorm. She had been trekking for days now. Usually she would traverse such a distance with ease, but in these conditions it was hard to keep up usual pace. It hadn't been easy getting this far, her body moaned with each new step and she feared that although she had come this far, there still may be a long way to go. When she had first crossed the border and looked upon Skyrim she couldn't help but be awed by its magnificence. Even its very mountains stood high above all others, bold and powerful, almost as if shout 'testify' to the very stars themselves.

These thoughts had passed to more bitter ones and resting on the rocky face of a large boulder, she exhaled deeply, welcoming the shelter.

"Bloody Skyrim." She spat through gritted teeth, pushing her flailing red her back and leaning into the cool hard surface. A cursed land full of emptiness she thought to herself in a moment of anger. The question 'what am I doing!?' continued to circle her mind but knew she had come too far to turn back. She had to go on, she had to know what wanted her and why. After a few moments of respite from the storm she readjusted her bow to a more comfortable position and checked her quiver. Her arrow count seemed to be getting low. After a few more moments of silent preparation she attacked the blistering storm once again, fighting through the blur of white.

After a while she stopped at the familiar sound of distant howls and sighed to herself. The pack was large and emenated a vicious spirit, they closed in quickly. If only such beings could see past their blind anger and instincts she thought as she drew the bowstring back slowly, focusing on her target. For the split second after she released the arrow, she thought she knew her purpose, who she was. It was strange, if only a whisper. One word, meaningless and unknown to her. Yet some how important. It whispered itself to her in the dark of her mind.. It whispered.. Dovahkiin... and then vanished with the wind.

Hope you liked!

AHHHHH! WORD WALL!!!! *runs*

jk...i'll try to give it a read.

Please do! =)

I liked it. Very atmospheric. Although, I do think realizing you are dovahkiin will be much more direct as the Greybeards will supposedly shout your name that echoes from the mountains and across Skyrim.

Ah well, thats how I percieved it. It worked better with what I wanted to write anyway haha =)

Well, I enjoyed it. Though I had the feeling that as I started up the mountain, I would pass entire villages of people, leaving. And as my trek came closer to its end, I would feel the world shake under their words, calling out to me.

I am usually selfish and don't read other peoples character stories, but I gave this one a try. And...

I liked it. Like epitage said it's very atmospheric, you seem to have a talent for it. The end was classy and kind of gave me chills.

Great job. :goodjob:

The writing shows how much effort you put into it. I'm sure you'll have a blast playing Skyrim as Eleania.

Thank you! I appreciate you guys taking the time to actually read it. Wasn't sure if it would get any attention whatsoever. I write alot so hopefully I may do more Skyrim pieces =)))

Please do.

Good read. I really enjoyed it :goodjob:

Very nice read. I can visualize the passion and emotion in your writing. I hope you continue to develop your character in the coming months. I myself am a huge role player, so back stories and character development are important when I play an RPG personally. I just can't wait to see what direction Skyrim takes that will further develop and reinforce my character. Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

This doesn't belong here. Go to the Elder Scrolls fanfiction and join us.

Hope you liked!


Yes, I read it and enjoyed it. I did a story for my main Oblivion character, and appreciate the thought that goes into a character background story.

For Skyrim, I have thumbnailed a rough outline story, but am still working out the details.

Reading the well written background stories is one of my pre-game pleasures, while we wait to that beckoning new world called, Skyrim.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Thanks! =) I myself are also an avid RPer! I roleplay alot for the up and coming Starwars MMO, 'TOR'. But now I want to start doing some Skyrim stuff.



I may well do that =)

I RP there in the SWTOR forms too. As a Sith Warrior. Who are you there?

I roleplay in my Guilds Forums as a Jedi Sentinel. Mesa goodie =P

There's always FanFiction.net, which has a section under Games for TES. You write very well, your fiction would certainly be a welcome sight :]

Im too tired to read all of it now, but the first few sentence are very well put together! You have a very nice style. I'll bookmark to read after I get home tomorrow

Nicely done, you have quite a talent for writing!

Like W&V said, you should join us in the Fan Fiction and Artwork section. You'd fit in just fine.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I shall have a wander down to fanfiction.net then and see if I can put this piece along with new ones there =)

I liked it. Welcome to the boards! If nobody has done so yet, allow me to offer you a http://images.uesp.net//c/c4/Fishystick.jpg in welcome.

Ah very cool. SWTOR and Skyrim are my two highly anticipated games for the year by far. I'm hoping SWTOR will launch this Spring, so it can hold me over until Skyrim launches in November.

Thanks very much, lol.
