Sundas 22
Spent the whole day smithing and walking bout whiterun
getting enough money to hire a carriage to riften. I got to Riften at night, as I was going inside the damn guard try to con me out of a "Visitors Tax" I told him this was an outrage and the guard got scare as I was talking loudly bout a shakedown, he let me in in shame. This city needs a hero.
I enter and a woman warrior said she was entangled with the thieves guild again. There is a thieves guild in Riften, then there is the meadery of Black Briar, I have seen their product in taverns and inns across my travels, It seems the Black-briar is the riches family in skyrim, Apparently Maven Black-briar is got friends in high places and dealings with both the thieves guild and the dark brotherhood making her untouchable.
Maybe soon I ll work more in riften but seeing how bad this town is, maybe is time I try to train harder to become a better hero.

I head back to Whiterun after hearing all of the terrible things and seen all of the bad things in Riften, I say I may have to stay in whiterun for a while, Skyrim is in dire need of a hero indeed...those words of the letter, are totally echoing in my head now, so I decided to go ahead and go to this place where only the dragonborn can tap into this hidden power, If I m the dragon born I can tap into this power and if Im, then I ll head up to meet the grey beards. I went to dragonsreach and told Lydia, my homeless carl or house guard to accompany me on this adventure since It could be a trap all the same.
The way out of whiterun into riverwood was in part uneventful,`cept that on the hill dividing both places there passed a dragon flying, I was walking up the hill when a big shadow just pass by in a flash, I look up and there he went on flying, soon after he roared, I ready my bow, I could hear my heart running faster for a split second, it was only me and Lydia this time, and again the sky is as calm as it was before, Unlike the first dragon which happen in Helgen.
My theory is that at that moment, when the sky turn dark and fireballs fell from the sky, all the dragons were falling from the sky and this one was just the one I was closest to.
I keep on pass riverwood, not without obviously say hello to the Valerious siblings and by that I mean Camilla only, I bought a potion from her brother and carry on. A small chat with Lydia about wha its to be a Thane without a house,
She did not care all she said was that she was my sword and my shield. I smile and continue onward, I believe her pretty face doesn't bother me as it did before. Not that it bother me at all, Its just that she could have pick up a muse job instead of the sword.

Down a hill now something wasnt right, the whole place was in a nice warm weather to have snow, but one flake of snow came towards us, I look ahead and soon notice 2 mages attacking each other, Lydia turn into a defensive stance and a mage stop his attack on the other to throw his frost at us. Then Lydia went after him and I attack the one behind her now. Soon we defeated them both and I got a Necromancer enchanted robe as well as the other things he was carrying, This robe actually lets me recover my magicka like 75% faster, no much of a robe, but I can use it to heal while hiding in the shadows as it dark and dirty. I was happy with this new robe, but as I look at the map while putting the robe away I notice were close to Helgen. " Lets detour to check it out" I said to her she follows behind way behind for some odd reason.
I m on my battle clothing once more as the robe finally had that odd recharging spell work on me, While entering the Helgen archway, I notice one thing, on the side a human body charred and impale on the side, I dont know why but this doesnt look like something the dragon I experience would do, On my way in I see 2 bandits clashing with each other and then the woman won the battle, But she was not done, she actually went after another one. As strange as this was I decided to stay back, let them kill each other and I ll step in for the final blown, I wont kill thou. To my surprise Lydia was now behind me aiming at the tower in the South east while the woman had already dispatch 3 other bandits and going straight for another building, The place was destroyed by the dragon attack but there was still enough buildings for making this place a perfect bandit hideout. which is what seem to have happen.

Sad really I remember seeing a little boy that lived here somewhere, now his house is probably destroyed and the remains are most likely being shat on by bandits.

In the mix of such commotion I hear Lydia snap her bow at the bandit on the tower, The woman comes rushing back and heads for the entrance of the tower but stays back, just looking up I get in closer and to my surprise, "Its Ria" I said out loud. The woman part of the Companions. She is aware Im here as the archer was aiming at lydia, she look back and saw me, once that happen both of us rush up to the tower, she went up ahead on the stairs and I used oak flesh spell and went on ahead as the bandit on top was shooting at us, I manage to get to her with a couple of hits and took her down, her head slamed against the wall behind knocking her out instantly Ria smile and offer me again to join The Companions. We both went down the stairs now, I had not notice but her war pain was rather nice, a streak under her lower lip and straches of black under her eyes and sides, almost to cover crow`s feet when they appear, I think she is still young for that. the rack can attest for that, I mean her bow rack. you need a strong back for that.
I head out of the tower and lydia appears from behind the debris she was using as a cover for her arrow shots, we move on towards another end of Helgen, taking whatever we can, Finally I see the lower gate of helgen and open this one, as I turn around, I see a woman, first I thought it was lydia but only their armor were the same, she was another bandit with a mace aiming for my head, followed by another mage woman, tossing her frost at us, I used my Breton blood power of the dragonskin to absorb her magic while I attacked the mace wielder. A finishing move to the throat and legs, as she cough, another KO. Then sparks for the mage. Always use Shock attacks against a mage, It messes up the magician concentration and lowers their magic power, she is out of magicka. Thanks to my sparks and her using her spells in vain and goes at me with a knife, I dodge and jump it, one trip and hit with my sword, she is down, I look up and see Lydia go against an Orc warrior, the dude towers over her and she dodge his attack just to have a precise kill , a jab with her sword at his troat, piercing him through, It was a shocking visage, but at least this woman was on my side. I cant tell her to not kill, since that may not be the right way to protect me, but I rather she did not do it in my presence.

Out of Helgen we had no troubles, there was a part of the path we got out, but Lydia said this was the right way, I march on following the path on the map, completely disregarding the path of the roads, we find a cave with some arch way infront of it Nord build almost like Bleak Falls, but highly different in designed, I continue and Lydia points out the cave, wondering whats inside, "SO only one way to find out" We went in just to be greeted by wolves and skeletons, we dispose of the wolves with ease, I scavenge the skeletons and soon found a dead body of a wood elve, I take what I can from him and march on out of the cave,
Outside the cave there is a small path leading to some ancient stairs of ancient nord build. Further ahead of the stairs, There is a mountain top and Nords arch columns almost unfinished or destroy in the middle, but ahead of that, at the food of the peek of this mountain. A wall just like the one there was in Bleak falls, only difference here is what is laying on top of this wall structure. A dragon.
