This here is the commander of our guards. He will take you to the armory and see which armor and weapons suit you best.”

As I follow the commander, everyone is startled by “Shouting” in the air. Everyone isn’t scared or even hiding. Everyone is just acting normal except for me, hiding in a corner. The commander walks over to me and says that it was the Greybeards shouting on their mountain.

“Don’t worry it was just the Greybeards shouting and praying to their gods.”

“But they said my name. What does that mean?”

“So you are!”

“I am what?”

“Dragonborn just like Jarl said! Hurry let’s get to the armory fast!”

I enter it with him and see a bow. I am suddenly urged to go and get it, but I can’t because I already have one. Commander suits me up in leather armor and tells me if it fits too lose or too tight. I tell him it fits perfect. Then he takes me to the weapon rack and closet. He asks me if I have any favorite weapons. I tell him I favor the bow. He grabs the suckiest one and hands it to me.

“Can’t I have a better one?”

“I don’t know you well enough.”

“Well if I am dragon born, I will be looking for you and shout your head off!”

“Oh a threat, aye? Well let me teach you something.” He takes out his sword as he says that and starts to swing it until I grab the hilt and aim it back at him.

He puts his hands up and says, “Well aren’t you a fighter?”

“My granddad was in the Great War and he taught my dad then, me.”

I turned to the door and left to Bleak Falls Barrow.

The Jarl greeted me and told me in the stables there is a horse waiting for me. I went outside the castle walls and took the horse, started down the trail, and tied my horse outside Bleak Falls barrow, and entered it.

When I got inside, it was full of torches and stones that were carved. They looked like hawks or a bird. In front of me was a bookstand with a seal saying to not enter. I told myself that signs won’t stop me from being the dragon born. I entered into the entrance and I was surprised that people were in there. I was more surprised when I noticed they were bandits. The leader pointed his bow at me and asked me something but I couldn’t hear him.

“I said what is your business here, lad?!” he yelled.

“I’m here for a stone.” I said.

“Well we haven’t found any stone here so leave!” he said.

“Look I need it so just let me through and let me get it and we’ll no trouble, ok?”

“No!”

“Please.”

You’ll have to get through us to get i-“I pulled out my sword and cut off his head before he could finish his sentence. Then his other teammates started to gang up on me, but I threw one to side and shot him dead with my bow. I put it away and pulled out my dagger, and stabbed the other bandit before he could slice me with his sword.

I didn’t kill him but injured him so he could tell me where the stone is. He didn’t want to tell me so I killed him because he was useless. I went down the path inside the
