Necromancer at the Docks
I arrived in morrowind by ship. My only cell-mate was a dark elf named Jiub. He was a skinny fellow with a crisp scar placed neatly across his eye, he didnt talk much, a smuggler i presumed.
I didnt sleep much, and Jiub woke me this time with a strong shake of my shoulder, excited as a school girl he told me "I think we've reached Morrowind! Im sure they'll let us go".
I rose with a stretch and cracked my neck back into place, and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, it seems Im having more nightmares, only these are different. Not the usual sights of my father being slain, and the helm of that damned Redoran, but the shound of a beautiful voice, telling me she is watching over me.
The guard finally got round to seeing us, he stomped up to me with his blunt expression he must have been norn with. "Right, Necro-rat, your coming with me. Jiub, looks like you've got a little more sea sickness to come as your not getting off for another week".
Necro-rat, i suppose I deserve it for my little plays with my dead friends, still it kept me sain, and reminded me of what few skills i have, though I am rusty, I can barely remember how to summon the ghost of my ancestors.
After walking off the ship and listening to the grunts of the guards as I passed, i met a more friendly Imperial at the dock, sure he was an officer, but none-the-less he greeted me with a little more respect, this was a good sign.
"Ah Seregon, we've been expecting you, I hope the trip wasnt too tiresome" He tried to joke.
"You wouldnt want to know Imperial"
"Ah ok then, ehm, just a few formalities and a bit of paper work to go, now where are you from?"
I stared silently around my surroundings for a while. How do I go about telling a guard I lived on a remote island in the middle of no-where, hardly accessable to all but a powerful mage, in which I practised my necromantic arts?
"Oh you wouldnt of heard of it, a small island not far from here. Neyron."
"Hmm. Well I'll look it up later, follow me up to the office and we can finish your release."
That was far too easy, it seems these guards no nothing of my past, perhaps time for a clean slate? Or not, I had a lot of work to do, only this time I would be more careful, as soon as i get out of this dump I'll begin my search for the Telvanni. Although there must be a catch, I wouldnt have been released so easily, I would probably suffering whatever fate it is Jiub is now recieving, poor fool.
I entered the office to find an ageing breton, probably as old as me, although he looked worse for his age, obviously not a wizard of any kind, though he clearly wished to look wise, just an old fool who pushes the paper.
"Ah we've been expecting you, please take a seat this could take a while".
"Id rather stand, and please I am in a hurry, could we hurry this along?"
"Of course, I dont want to look at your criminal face any longer than I have to, but i have a job to do and consider yourself lucky Im not throwing you back into jail where you belong, you should watch your tongue".
