An Imperial's Tale

Post » Tue Mar 15, 2011 12:48 am

................................PROLOGUE.......................................

It was a regular day no doubt about it, the house Lucien Richton lived in was literatly in the middle of no were in one of the many Cyrodiil forests. Lucien lived there with his mother and father, he was only sixteen years of age and his family was planning on moving to the Imperial City next year if things went good. His Mother and Father were both farmers who sold crops and live stock to many cities within Cyrodiil and that is how the Richton family survived.

"Mother, I am going out hunting with Dad!" Lucien yelled.
"Fine but be safe!" His Mom replied.

Lucien smiled and went into his closet and grabbed his bow, his bow was hand made by his Uncle who was a Blacksmith in Anvil, he made many weapons but this bow was special and was made for Lucien only, it had his initails in it and was colored black, Lucien's favorite color. Lucien then grabbed his arrow bag and swung it over his back and ran down the stairs and outside, his father was there waiting on one of the horses.

"Took you long enough, get yer horse from the stable!" Luciens father said.

Lucien smiled and nodded, he ran towards the stable and two horses were in it, there was a black one and a white one, the black one was him Mother's and the white one was his. He always wanted the black one because it was his favorite color but he became emotionaly attached to the white one and that was his horse. Lucien mounted the horse and rode it towards his father.

"Alright let's head out!" His father said.
"Lets!" Lucien replied.

They took off on there horses and started to scout for Deer, so far they were unsucsesfull but they were true hunters and they never gave up untill they got a deer in the bag. Luciens father looked off into the distance and saw two deers, a buck and a doe.

"There's two up ahead, lets get em' both!" Luciens father said.
"Alright I got the Doe!" Lucien said.

They both got off there horses, crouched and walked slowly down a hill with there bows in hand, Lucien grabbed an arrow and got his bow ready. He had a perfect shot and so did Luciens father.

"1...2...3...now!" Luciens father said.

Both the men shot there bows and Lucien got the Doe right in the neck, the Deer dropped to the ground and Lucien jumped up and yelled "I got em' I got em'". His father had missed the shot and he looked to his son Lucien.

"I never thought I'd see the day were my son beats me in hunting, good job son, goob job!" Luciens father said.
"Thanks Dad, now lets go get the trophy!" Lucien said.

My oh my, Josh. You're writing has definitely improved!
There's few spelling errors, that I saw. Also, not enough commas in some places, and too many in others. Some sentences go on for just a tad too long.
All of it, however, I could easily get passed. Will definitely read further installments.

Thanks Comedian BTW did you get my PM?

Chapter 1

Lucien and his father walked up to the now dead Deer, it was average size for a Doe and would supply food throughout the winter, Lucien's family could not get food in the winter as it was to far from any cities and they snow would probably cause them to freeze to death, some times they wished they were Khajiits or Nords. The two Imperials lifted the Deer up and brought it up the hill, they laid the Deers body over Lucien's fathers horse. Lucien then mounted his horse, and so did his father.

They took off and in no time were back at the house, they took the Deer off of the horse and laid it on the ground.

Lucien's father walked into the house, "Honey, were are you?" he yelled out. Before he could get an answer a tall man appeared in front of him, dagger in hand. "Who in the name of Tal-", the man thrust ed the blade into his stomach, the tall man then let go and grabbed the fathers head and smashed it against the wall beside him, the tall man then took the dagger out and shoved it into his neck.

The tall man took the dagger out and Lucien's father fell to the ground dead, Lucien started to wonder why his father had not come back yet, "Father, are you in there?" Lucien called out in hopes of a response but no one responded. "What in the name?" Lucien said before walking into the house.

He entered the house and saw his fathers lifeless body lying on the ground, Lucien collapsed to the ground and grabbed his fathers head and brought it to his chest, "Father! NOOO!" Lucien screamed at the top of his lungs, "Who did this to you, who I ask you who!".

The tall man started to run at Lucien but Lucien rolled out of the way, he grabbed a fire place poker from the fire place and rose off the ground, "You killed my father you murderer I will kill you!". Lucien thrust-ed the fire poker but the man evaded and swung his dagger, it got Lucien's arm but hardly made an impact.

Lucien thrust-ed the poker again and this time it got the man in the stomach, he made no sound but from the look on his face you could tell he was in pain. Lucien took the poker out and swung it, the poker slashed the mans face from the right going all the way down to the left side of his chin, it cut his eye, nose, and mouth. The man screamed in pain and punched Lucien in the side of the head and he fell to the ground, the tall man then ran out the door and jumped on a black horse that was hidden in the bushes, he then took off.

Lucien got up from the punch and ran to the kitchen knowing that was the last place his mother was in, when he got in he saw his mother there just as he suspected but what he did not suspect was here to be dead. Lucien began to cry, "Why...why would some one do this...why...mother...father...I will avenge you, I promise you I will avenge you no matter what I will avenge you even if it kills me I will kill the man who did this to you I promise!".

These chapters should be a bit longer, Josh. Type it up in Microsoft Word and try to extend it to about two pages there.

Pretty good, actually. I'll have to see what you do with this.

Chapter 2 Part 1: Vengance will be his, one way another.

Lucien was on the ground in tears his parents laid there both slaughtered by that monster of a man, Lucien would get his vengance one way or another he would kill the man who did this to his family.

The tears on Luciens face started to dry and he realized he was crying anymore, he stood up and walked up the stairs towards his parents room, he knew this is were his father kept his armor and weapons from his day in the Fighters Guild before becoming a farmer.

Lucien opened the chest in his fathers closet inside was a suit of Mithril Armor and a Elven Shortsword, sudenley Lucien started to remember something from when he was just a child.

"Dad! Your home, we missed you!" Lucien yelled out when his father entered the house.
"Robert! Your home!" Luciens mother cried.
"Yes, I am home again and I bring you good news, I will not be leaving you guys again I have retired!" Robert said.
"Oh Robert!" That was all she could say as the tears strolled down her face.

Lucien began to cry once again, he took the armor and sword out of the chest and placed them on the bed. Lucien took off the clothes he was wearing and got into his fathers suit of armor. More memories ran through his mind and he bottled up the tears even though he wanted to let them loose but if he bottled them up it would lead to anger, and right now anger is what he needed.

Lucien headed down stairs and grabbed his parents body's and placed them in the center of the house, Lucien then headed to the living room and grabbed a torch from the safe and the stash of Septims his father and mother had saved, it was 1000 which was all Lucien needed. He headed back to his parents body's and lit the torch, he dropped it on there bodys and the fire began to grow burning them and he knew it would spread across the house seeing as how it was made of wood.

Lucien left the house a new person, he was no longer the nice boy he would never hurt a thing, he was know out for vengance out for revenge out for blood.

((This chapter is VIOLENT and very gruesome, one of the very angry parts of the story for Lucien))

Chapter 2 Part 2: Vengance will be his, one way another.

Lucien was on his horse forcing it to run it's fastest to the closest city which was Anvil, the horse galloped hard and was getting tired but Lucien yelled at it "HURRY UP AND MOVE FASTER YOU [censored] HORSE!", Lucien couldn't control his anger he was freaking out and taking it out on anyone who was near by.

An hour later he arrived at Anvil, Lucien ditched his horse in the stables and entered the town, two guards were at the gate and greeted him. Lucien looked to the two guards he walked up to one and looked in his eyes "You, have you seen a tall, muscular, Nord male enter this dump!", "Why is that your boy friend?" The Guard replied, "Very [censored] funny DIE!" Lucien yelled, he shoved his sword into the guards neck and immeadiatly pulled it out, he turned around and did the same to the other guard, they both fell to the ground dead and Lucien still in his rage ran over to a innocent begger.

"Please sir spare a coin!" the begger asked not even aware of what Lucien had done, before the begger got an answer Lucien grabbed his neck and threw him to the ground, Lucien then grabbed the beggers neck again while he was on the ground and began to choke him. The begger coughed and tried to stop Lucien but he couldn't do anything, the beggar began to cough out blood, Lucien then stopped realizing what he was doing, why was he attacking a poor man, why did he kill those innocent guards his anger had taken him, he had turned into a monster.

Lucien stood up and looked around guards began to circle him, Lucien dropped his sword and collapsed to the ground and began to cry.

((Chapter is mostley dialouge))

Chapter 3: Saved by the...Brotherhood?

Lucien lied on the ground as the guards circled him, all he could think is that he was going to be executed, but maybe not.

"You there on the ground what's your name monster!" The Guard said.
"Lucien Richton!" Lucien said hoping they would just throw him in a cell.
"You do know what you have done, two counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder you'll either be executed or jailed for the rest of yer life!" The Guard said.
"Yes I understand take me away!" Lucien said, surrendering.

The Guard slowly walked up to Lucien but stopped in the midst of it, an arrow had entered his neck.

"WERE UNDER ATTACK!" One of the guards yelled.

The Guards pulled out there swords and looked around for the attackers, then six men dressed in a strange black leather armor and hood, they attacked the guards with skill and quickly and effectively took them down. The six assassins ran up to Lucien.

"Come with us and you'll be safe!" one of the assassins said.
"Alright!" Lucien said, he couldn't believe it he had been saved, he thought for sure he would of ended up hanging from a noose.

The group of assassins and Lucien quickly ran out of Anvil and jumped on there horses, Lucien grabbed his from the stable and followed the Assassins.

"So who are you guys?" Lucien asked.
"We are the Dark Brotherhood, and you are our new recruit!" The man said.
"What? I cannot join the Dark Brotherhood I am no murderer!" Lucien said shocked.
"The Night Mother says other wise, we saw you kill those guards and if you do not accept our offer you will die a slow and painful death that I promise you" The Assassin said calmly.
"Alright, I'll do it seeing as how I really do NOT have a choice" Lucien stated.
"You should be grateful Imperial your even lucky we saved you!" One of the Khajiit members said.
Lucien mumbled some racial slurs under his breath and continued on.
