Chapter 18 - Precognition: Part 2 - Later, just outside the Fort - The twin moons, Masser and Secunda were high in the night sky, their combined shades of red and grey creating a captivating aurora above the cave opening. The wind howled and shook the tree, creating the perfect cover for the four figures as they inched across the mildly snowy ground. Each step created a crunch as their collected boots pressed down on the white surface beneath them. Talon led the group, wearing his borrowed dark blue mage robes with his hood pulled up. Behind him, a male middle-aged Imperial followed closely. He had long black hair reaching his shoulders, a

Chapter 17 - Precognition: Part 1 Before... Dana sat at her regular table, moodily eating her breakfast as she listened to Talon and Jo converse. Beside her, Finn also listened, but in a more upbeat fashion. Jo had been retelling the events of the previous night, about how Talon outsmarted her and pinned her to the ground with her own sword. “You’re kidding” Finn stated in disbelief, listening intently. Dana just rolled her eyes at her friend’s gullibility. Did it matter that Talon and Jo were training together? Did she care that Jo was practically stealing her student? Maybe. Dana couldn’t help but glare at t

Chapter 16 – The "Techies" Before... "Are you okay, buddy?" Finn asked, gently prodding Talon awake. It wouldn't have concerned him if Talon hadn't drifted off at the table amidst a pillow of books. All around the makeshift tavern, people were talking, exchanging payments and enjoying their mead. Or in their case: their breakfast. Feeling the constant jabbing, Talon's head shot up, his eyes widening with surprise. "Huh...what?" Talon asked groggily, rubbing the bags under his eyes. Finn sighed. "Up late studying again?" he asked, turning around and making a gesture to the Dark Elf behind the bar. He nodded in response and grabbed a b

Chapter 15 – Rising from the ashes Before... Talon did his best to avoid eye contact with anybody as he was lead out onto the grounds, an incredibly large area placed behind the fort. The rim of the crater acted as a wall for the vast turf. Lining the rim was a large row of stables, multiples horses either resting, eating or whinnying in their enclosures as their owners were spread about the surrounding area. "Do I get a horse?" Talon asked as the teenage Bosmer lead him onward. "Stay focused, Nord. You've got a lot of training to do" Dana ordered, looking back at him as she walked. Talon rolled his eyes at her snippy response. "Ca

Chapter 14 – Talon vs. the Dark Brotherhood II Before... “Keep up, guys. We’re almost there” Dana called back as she led them of them along the path up the mountain. To their left, the sun was beginning to disappear behind the mountain peaks in the distance, turning the sky a shade of yellow. Talon groaned as he continued the uphill trek, his feet beginning to agonizingly cramp in his boots. Since Finn and Dana had asked him to accompany them on their walk home, they had crossed the border into Hammerfell and had started making their way up into the Dragontail Mountains, highlands which acted as a rim for the provinc

Chapter 13 – The Sapphire Heist Before... “WAIT!” Talon’s heart stopped, expecting his life to be ceased at any moment. But as soon as that word hit his ears, he slowly opened his eyes. The pickaxe was just touching his nose. Looking past the steel pick, he glanced up at the second thief as she looked to her left. “What?” she ordered puzzlingly, confused to why her comrade would say such a thing. As she spoke, the first thief made his way over to them, picking his dagger up off the ground as he did so. “Let him go” he instructed, placing the blade back in its sheath. Through the gap in her

Chapter 12 – The Bedlam Job Before... Talon crossed his arms, the blowing wind scratching at his exposed skin and creeping under his shirt. He looked up at the sky, gazing at Masser and Secunda, the twin moons, as they continued on their journey around Nirn. Suddenly, Talon felt a drop of water suddenly hit his eye, causing him to pause and wipe it away. Feeling a second droplet hit his shirt, he sighed as he realized what was about to happen. Sprinting onwards, he ducked beneath a large tree as the rain began to pour down, trapping him under the foliage. Talon removed his satchel, placing it beside him before pulling his knees to his

Chapter 11 – Purity: Part 2 Before... "I'm asking you for the final time. Tell me where you got all this" Erik questioned, both hands placed on the table in front of him as he interrogated the teenager sitting opposite. Glancing up from the floor, Talon looked at the contents placed between him and his father. Sitting between them, on a rectangular piece of cloth, was a whole assortment of food ranging from fresh fruit to preserved wine. Standing behind Erik was a woman, her hair as black as night and her eyes enveloped in green, giving Talon the same look of dissatisfaction. Sighing, Talon's gaze returned to the floor. "You stole it all,

Chapter 10 – Purity: Part 1 - Riften, five days since Talon was bitten - Riften marketplace was usually packed with both travelers and citizens. All of which visiting the different stalls and merchants, going through the occasional trade of items and, rarely, bribery. Aside from the intersecting chatter and sound of birds chirping, the market was generally peaceful. Not today though. "YOU BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!" an angry, female voice called out, causing the chatter to cease as every head turned to observe the commotion. Standing a few feet away were two women, both in their twenties, engaged in unarmed combat. One had blonde hair, pulled
