Part 4: Meeting Your Hero

_'They sold you as slaves to the Imperial Arena?'_Bloodies-His-Face nodded and refilled his goblet with wine. _'What was that like?'_ 'It was scary at first. We were only young--myself probably only three years of age--and we were scared of Gaius,'...

Part 3: The Arena Blademaster

_'You said the slavers took you and other hatchlings to market, but the city you described was most likely Leyawiin.'_ Bloodies-His-Face nodded. 'They took us to Leyawiin first, and then they sailed up the Niben to Bravil where they tried again,'...

Part 2: His Bloody Face

_'You were taken by Dres slavers when you were young?_' The Argonian nodded to the question. He sat down at the small table and took a sip from his goblet. _'Did you ever return to your home?'_ 'Not for a long time,' he replied as he put the goblet...

Part 1: The Naming Ceremony

"I remember the day I was named," the Argonian said. His face, stained with red-like-blood, stared into the hearth. His amber-brown eyes caught the glimmer of the flame. "I only remember it because I was taken from my home before my tribe could name...

Part 9: Just Live

_'And you ended up becoming a knight after all.'_ Bloodies smirked. 'Sure, but you wanted to know my origin story rather than what I do for a living nowadays,' he replied. _'Of course. Did you ever take Sir Simon up on his offer, though?'_ Bloodies...

Part 8: Our Tribe

_'First assaulting a priest of Akatosh, and then "actually" throwing younglings into the arena? By the Divines, that's... That's madness!'_ Bloodies said nothing for a little while and finished what was left in his goblet before pouring more wine....

Part 7: The Grand Melee

_'The Emperor had a priest of Akatosh beaten close to death? That's... Unthinkable!'_ Bloodies put his cutlery together on his polished-off plate and set it aside. 'I thought so too, especially when we had been taught that we must "serve and obey the...

Part 6: The Longhouse Emperor

'_Astounding--oh, thank you.'_ Two plates of Colovian roast turkey were set down by a server, who excused herself and left the room. '_So, the Face of Akavir was a Dragon Knight?'_ Bloodies had already started eating and swallowed his first bite...

Part 5: The Face of Akavir

'The Face of Akavir trained Fleet and myself,' Bloodies explained as he paced with goblet in hand, 'first in how to use a blade without hurting ourselves, then actual swordplay and stances. The next night, we would stow away a training sword to teach...

A Tale of Ashen Wings - Chapter 6: The Doom Viper

"Few have encountered them, and lived to speak of their horrifying visage: a great skull as their head and scales like bleeding flesh, and long enough to wrap around a group of five two times over." Akalgan walked through the dark sewers without a...
