Chapter 1
The Wood Elf Lilithi finds herself trapped in a cell when she awakens from what seems like years of a slumber. She rakes her mind to why she is here but can not remember, maybe a bit of mead or ale is in order, if she ever gets out that is…She hears someone coming, from the sound of the feet hitting pavement she decides maybe about three people, maybe four. Just as she looks up the stairs she sees a light so raw it blinds her for a few seconds, as her vision clears Lilithi hears people talking than she sees the voices coming from two guards and someone dressed rather elegantly for someone coming to be put into a cell….
Strangly they stop at her cell, the third person who she sees now is a older man behind the guards is not in shackles.The guards, a female and male tell me to back away towards the back wall, my poorly clothed back rubs against the stone sending a shiver down it, while the light from the bared window warms my body all at once, my hair shinning a bright white while my skin showing a darker shade of brown.
I see all three people enter my cell, awaiting one of two things, one a new cell mate for the time being or two my execution, while this clearly well off, rich man watches, probably for his sick fun of some sort, but instead something different, shocking happens.
One of the guards addresses the elder man as Sir, I am guessing he is some sort of noble, they than do something odd, they remove my shackles as the older man steps closer to take a long look at my features and goes on to talk about how I am the one, the chosen one and blah blah blah destiny blah blah bull crap…I need a longggg drink after this.
They get the stones to move with a press up their hands on the it to open up a hidden passage way and say I must be special so I follow though I can tell no one but this “Sir” thinks that. So I follow them only to be attacked by people in robes who seemly appear from no where, I take shelter in the shadows where I know I will be safe. After the fighting and clashing of swords and shields, I get a glance at a very valuable looking stone that I did not notice the older Sir wearing before, I wonder how much it would fetch, but with all the guards around I would never know and no weapons in my possession either. We come across a gated door, everyone goes through it but me, for some reason they decide this is where we split off….Just this a wall tumbles away and two giant rats leap through, I bare my fists for a fight, punch one in the head knocking it or worse, the other one latches onto my arm with its disgusting teeth, as I fight with it and manage to rip it off as its teeth rip into my arm leaving some gashes I grab the other rat by the tail and smash it against the cold stone again and again till I see blood forming and the skin around the head start to tear open, I let it drop and go through the hole as my only way out, only to come across another giant rat, I dodge its attack as it leaps at my face seeing its disgusting bared teeth, I luckily find a chest, open it hurryingly to find some gold and better yet a rusty yet useable axe!
I swing it around just as I hear the rodent push off from the ground towards me lodging the axe into the side of its face as the force pulls the axe from my hands to the ground, I think of taking it with me but decide I need to get out of hear as soon as I am able, I really need a long drink right about now…
I walk awhile more to see no more rodents but instead remains of some poor soul, I can’t tell what race but I know he or she has been here for a long time now, next to the pile of bones likes a bow with a chest, I check the chest to find some more gold,lockpicks that could come in handy and a Sapphire next to some arrows and a rusty dagger. I take all of them out only to find another surprise in the form of clothing, leather based to be exact, some boots and a cuirass which I replace for my rags of shoes and shirt, a great find!
I travel down a corridor only to be greeted by another rat, who instead of wasting my arrows I raise my hand, do a fast chant and set a flame with a fire ball before it even reaches me, I let it continue to burn as I walk onwards to find another chest with some Iron greaves in it that I strap onto my legs, I feel a lot better now having removed all the rags off my toned body.
I come across some rats, I get out my dagger ready to slay them yet they take no heed of me as they run past me.I wait a bit only to smell more than see the ghoul stumbling after what would have been its meal, only to see a better meal, that would be me. I sheath my dagger getting read to cast another spell, the famed spell of my race, the spell known as the Beast Tongue that will let me command any beast I wish to for a limited amount of time.Right before the zombie attacks me I release the spell at it and it stops, the vile thing. I think I will travel with it for awhile…Good thing to since I run into three rats who all attack the ghoul as I search a near by chest to find some more arrows and gold, knowing though sadly I will loss control of the ghoul soon I get my bow at the ready, draw a bow, aim and fire, hitting it square in the forehead as I watch him fall as I go through a door at the end of the area. I come across some goblins and more rodents and kill them all with a fast release of a spell or arrow and up close work with my dagger normally cutting into there stomach to let the entrails and blood dispatch from their meaty prison.
After what seems like hours I come across a large opening only to realize I am surrounded again with stone walls, never so happy to see again nor to happy to see the company I started out with alive as well, just as I am about to jump from my opening to the clearing below to where they are located another group of hooded figures appear from no where, I notice which I did not before is they are all aiming for the older man, maybe for his golds or items but why all of them just for one man I wonder? One guard goes down from a slice to the neck and another hooded one goes down as well only leaving one guard, and the old man alive when I jump to the clearing once the battle is done with.
As the guard yells to attack me assuming I was with the hooded ones the man who they seem to listen to without question tells them I am not one of them, I am amazed at why anyone would listen to a old one like this just because he had money? He asks me to oddest question like what I was born under, to which I tell him The Steed.We than travel onwards deeper into the cavern, to go towards another opening to lead us out only to find it blocked, the guard yells out “It’s a trap” as we are ambushed me and the man run back towards another area only to find a dead end, he than shockingly gives me the stone around his neck saying HE is the emperor!!! I can hardly believe my ears as the stone wall behind him moves to reveal another hooded assassin who stabs him in the back severing his spinal cord before I could draw a bow in time. The guard runs through to find the Emperor dead and the assassin attacking me, with the help of the guard we defeat him. He asks me where the giant rock was that he had, if it was taken, I show him it was not to which he asks me what is my class to see if I am worthy I suppose in carrying it, little does he know that I plan to pawn it for coin when I get out of here, though I decide to tell him the truth that my Class is special, it is known as a combo between the thieves skills and warriors or knights and archery, there is no name worthy of my class. After so I proceed onwards past the sewers into the outside world, to fresh air, to freedom and to anything I can drink..
