Valerie, a woman from a far-flung realm of Oblivion that the people of Nirn have little to no knowledge of. One day she finds herself off the coast of Raven Rock in Solstheim...

"Oh...what the hell? My head..." Valerie says, laying on cold ground (first picture). With great effort, she sits up and takes a look around, seeing mostly ocean around her. Turning her head, she spots land behind her. (second picture). "Good...not stuck in the middle of the ocean...where is this anyway?" Standing up, she brushes herself off and turns toward the land. A stretch of water separates the larger landmass from her tiny island but, with a jump and spread of her wings, she crosses the gap effortlessly, landing on the mainland completely dry. (third picture).

"Here in his shrine
That they have forgotten
Here do we toil
That we might remember
By night we reclaim
What by day was stolen
Far from ourselves
He grows ever near to us
Our eyes once were blinded
Now through him do we see
Our hands once were idle
Now through them does he speak
And when the world shall listen
And when the world shall see
And when the world remembers
That world shall cease to be"

Valerie looks up, finding before her a group of people gathered around a large monolith of some kind, reciting some mad mantra. They don't even seem to notice her as she walks among them, focused completely on whatever they are doing. "Hey," she asks one of them, "where am I?" No response came. Out of the corner of her eye, Valerie spots a port town, the movement of people evident. With a shrug, Valerie walks off, stopping for a moment, wondering what kind of madness has overtaken them (fourth picture).

As she walks toward the town, Valerie whispers under her breath, hiding her horns and wings from view. It was evident that such features where uncommon among the population, and she didn't need to cause any undue worry in the townsfolk (fifth picture). As she walks into town, she passed by a man in peculiar armor, who stopped in his tracks as she approached. It was evident from the way his helm followed her movement that his attention was fixated on her. From his armor, Valerie assumed he was a guardsman and left him be, wanting to find one of the normal townsfolk to question.

Finding a woman bent over at an alchemy table, Valerie smiles and clears her throat. The woman looks up, surprise suddenly showing on her grey face. "Can I help you...stranger?" she asks.

Valerie nods, "I know it maybe an unusual question, but where am I? I woke up just off the coast."

The woman raises an eyebrow. "Well, you must come from very, very far indeed. No one here on Solstheim would dress in such a...strange...manner." She says, looking Valerie up and down (final picture).

"Solstheim?" Valerie questions, having never heard of such a place. "Wait...where exactly IS that?"

The woman laughs, "In Tamriel, just between Skyrim and Morrowind. You play quite the fool, you know?"

Valerie stands still, shocked. This was not the world she knew...

Well, there ya go...enjoy the shit writing that I decided I was going to include. This blog here is mostly for stretching my writing chops when I feel like doing more than just a photo shoot sort of deal. Also new character. Yay. Will have a profile for her on my other blog sometime this week. She will also appear in random ass photoshoots, so look forward to those. I did the whole (x picture) thing because I really don't want to take the time to deal with uploading them somewhere and getting a url and blah, blah, blah...you get the idea.

Anyway, I'll leave it there. Later.
