woodsman30 Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) This story starts with our character who was born in the year of 180 of the 4th era around the time of the signing of the second treaty of Stros M'kai she is roughly 21 when the Dragons came back. She lost her parents from a wolf attack on the road from Falkreath to Helgan when she was just 5. She would have perished to if not for a young woman who was scouting the area her name was Rigel Strong-arm. Rigel did not notice the girl at first but seen the wolf and was always ready to use her arm and her axe for any foe man or beast. Upon checking the deceased travelers Rigel heard the girl in the bushes crying for what she had just witnessed. Rigel was unsure of what to do as she was unable to take the girl to town as bounties for her in the surrounding holds would insure her arrest. So begins the story of Rigel and her new charge.... Rigel had a small house she called Pinewatch where she lived and worked out of and was also now the home to our character. Rigel took the girl in and taught her how to hunt and how to use an axe and sword. The girl learned fast as she had a hatred for animals and creature alike who were considered predators. Rigel expanded her operations and soon built an underground base to houses the crew who worked for her. The bandits came and went some died in ensuing raids some died at the hands of Rigel herself but there was a never ending supply of misfit who was looking for a home. The girl was not allowed to do bandit activities as Rigel forbid it. The girl did train with the bandits and mercenaries who came and went all had different skills some were ex soldiers some where bounty hunters and some were just cold blooded killers. as the years passed now in her late teens her name long since forgotten she was just known as "The Hunter". She was given this name as she would track down any prey with the stealth of a shadow and skill to kill it undetected. Rigel still trained her hard and she became a warrior with a sword arm that rivaled Rigel's own. The Hunter knew what Rigel did but was forgiving as she was like a mother to her and her misfit family of bandits. On her eighteenth birthday Rigel told her she could become a bounty hunter and pick up work in the surrounding holds but was never to commit crimes just do bounties for Yarls and merchants. Most of the bounties were uneventful and involved the nuance animals wolves and trolls with the occasional sprigon. That is until the Yarl of Faulkreath posted a bounty for murder who killed a local farmer... The hunter went home to tell Rigel of the bounty to ask advice and if she should do it..... to be continued Edited May 27, 2024 by woodsman30
