The Butcher: Part One

  • “Murdered”
    assured Zachriel.

    “Aye, This is the third victim already
    we need to put a stop to it.”
    confirmed the Guard.

    Zachriel approached the body. The cold
    temperature of northern skyrim
    left the corpse stiff while also
    preserving it.

    “Hmmm, the killer seems to enjoy killing-
    too much. Though it seemed like this was done
    by a beast, this was made by a blade, a rusty
    one at that. Bad way to go.”
    theorized Zachriel.

    The guard nodded and said
    “Thats what I thought too, You think you
    could-”

    “This is a grunts job” Zachriel declined.

    Uriel grabbed Zachriel’s shoulder, inevitably
    stopping him from walking away.
    “Wait. Zachriel, I think we’re dealing
    with just a petty murderer. This might serve
    as great interest to the Shadowblades.”
    advised Uriel.

    “We are short on guards lately because
    of the ongoing war, your help would
    be invaluable.”
    added the Guard.

    “I guess so. Looks like you
    found somebody to do your job
    guardsman.”
    said Zachriel.
    “Just tell us what to do.”

    “Great! you should inform
    the Steward while we clean this up.”
    replied the Guard.
    “It would be nice if you start
    with official consent.”

    Without second thoughts they went
    their way to reach the Steward. The
    Halls of the Palace was dead silent
    as you can hear echoing voices.

    “You’re the Steward right?”
    asked Zachriel.

    “My name Jorlief, Yes i am.
    And no, there are no more
    available houses in Windhelm
    currently.” clarified Jorlief.

    “No, I am not here for that.
    but I want to help about the
    murderer.” said Zachriel

    “Well, we can't turn down
    help. You and your lady-friend
    seem to be able.”
    said Jorlief as he give Zachriel a
    leering wink.

    Uriel giggled.
    “You got it all wrong old man,
    you know its rude assuming
    things?” denied Zachriel.

    “Oh haha, you’re so close
    together it seemed like it.”
    apologized Jorlief.
    “Anyways, you have the official
    consent. Good luck finding the killer.”

    Woah. Bruh. This is pretty sweet. I could visualize this so well, even though it was only dialogue. +1
