This is the first chapter of a new collab story I'm working with Robton. It's about my main character, Valeera.

 

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

 

 

Shadow Hide You

Chapter 1: Light and Shadow

Another sunny day in Whiterun…

Guard: “Give me back my sweetroll, you little thief!”

She runs away, laughing at him. He was fooled by her, again.

 

Valeera: “Catch me if you can, ugly man!”

 

image.jpg

 

Guard 2: “She stole another one from you? How can you be fooled twice by her?”

 

image.jpg

 

Guard: “She did it again. Talking to me being all lovey-dovey and all that crap. I don’t know why, but I believed it. And I can’t run after her anymore. My knee hurts…”

 

image.jpg

 

Guard 2: “I have to agree that she is good. Even with your helmet on she noticed how ugly you are.”

In that night, when she was sure that no one would come after her, she camped outside Whiterun’s walls.

 

Valeera: “Oh no, I’m running out of wood…”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “My axe is broken and I don’t have anything to chop wood with. Camping is harder than I thought. Don’t have any mead left. And I only drank four bottles…”

 

image.jpg

 

She heard a deafening sound coming from above. A thunder? Or maybe a roar? She looked at the sky…

 

Valeera: “Wow, that’s a big fucking dragon…

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “Wait…WHAT?!”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera couldn’t believe her eyes. Dragons were gone for a long time. Now they were beings that only lived in tales like those told by the other kids in Riften’s orphanage, where she had lived.

 

She caught her breath and looked at it again. She saw nothing but the stars on the nightsky.

Valeera: “That is just great. Four bottles of mead and I’m having hallucinations. And I thought that I wasn’t THAT drunk.”

*******

 

And in the next morning she was there all over again.

 

Valeera: “I can’t believe that I’ll steal Balgruuf’s Axe Of Whiterun right beneath his nose! I guess that’s the perfect plan. Oh I’m so brilliant…”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “So this is the Jarl’s armory, huh? Now, where is the axe? There’s a bunch of stuff in here, but it must be easy to find…”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “There it is!”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “Come on baby, come to mama…”

 

image.jpg

 

Eline: “HEY! What do you think you are doing?”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “What in the…who are you?”

 

image.jpg

 

Eline: “Get your hands off that axe. It’s mine…”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “No, it’s not. I’m stealing it.”

 

image.jpg

 

Eline: “No, I’m stealing it.”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “No, you don’t. This thing means a month of mead and rabbit stew for me. And besides, I saw it first. But I can sell it to you, if you want it. For a hundred thousand septims.”

 

image.jpg

 

Eline: “Give the axe to me NOW, or I will-“

 

image.jpg

 

A wild Guard appears!

 

Guard: “What is happening in here?!”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “She’s a thief!”

 

image.jpg

 

Guard: “You two had committed crimes against Skyrim and her people. What say you in your defense?”

 

image.jpg

 

Eline: “She was the one trying to steal from the Jarl’s armory. I wasn’t doing anything.”

 

image.jpg

 

Valeera: “That’s a lie, Mr. Guard! I was trying to stop her!”

 

image.jpg

 

Guard: “I had enough of you two! To the cells! Now!”

To be continued…

 

Credits and notes (read after story)

 

 

-Big thanks to my bud Robton for providing Eline's screens (awesome character, btw).

 

-The shots in the armory turned out to be a bit dark, but it kinda fits with the story theme, so I ended up liking it.

 

-Engilsh is not my native language, so you may find a mistake or two.
