Title: the dragonborn chronicles: in the beginning part i
Characters: Dragonborn (Viktor)
Rating: G
a short compilation of stories going to be written while playing skyrim. the main character is a nord named viktor, who is completely blind and has been that way since birth. he was born in helgen, and refused his destiny as dragonborn until he could no longer avoid it. he was a pacifist before he went off to hammerfell; what happened to him there is nobody's business, but it has turned him into a man with less patience and a desire to take vengeance on the world for giving him a cruel destiny.
The first time he realizes he can use magic, he's fifteen years old and he's fighting off a band of thugs who thought a blind boy and his mother would be easy pickings. Their maces beat on every inch of his exposed skin and he tries not to cry; something grabs hold of him and he extends his hand, and he feels heat rush out of it. There's screaming - his mother, the thugs, his own - and then there's nothing but the soft crackle of fire and his mother's weeping sobs. Viktor clenches his hand experimentally, but doesn't feel any burns, and turns his head when his mother calls his name softly. She helps him across the charred remains of the thugs and back to home, and he never feels the thrill of fire thrown from his fingertips until ten years later, in the exact same square as before, the screams of prisoners and soldiers alike as a dragon descends upon Helgen and burns his home to the ground.
