Riverwood

As Ralof and I head down the road to Riverwood he showed me the ancient totems known as "Guardian Stones" along the path, I approached each stone judging the one I felt closest to.

I've never been that proficient with any sort of magic, sometimes it intrigues me but I've never had the time pursue that curiosity. I'm not one for stealth either as I'm not a Thief nor an Assassin. I favor blades and armor, up close and personal combat like most Nords do, Cliche I know, but what can I say? That's who I am.

I touch the Warrior Stone, the sign I was born under and it radiates with energy, I feel invigorated by this and it fills me with strength and determination.

With another look at that map I noticed that the arrow had changed position, pointing to Riverwood now. It then occurred to me that it was showing whatever my current destination was at the time. I'd seen that kind of magic used before but never in the form of an enchantment, this will be very useful.

Ralof and I continued down the road to Riverwood, and after encountering some Wolves along the path we arrived in the village.

This place is a quaint little logging town bustling with activity, I can just smell that elbow grease in the air. Ralof gestures for me to follow him to the mill to meet up with Gerdur.

We explain what happened in Helgen to Hod and Gerdur as they offer their hospitality to us for as long as we're in Riverwood, Gerdur tells me I should the Dragon Attack at Helgen to Jarl Balgruuf The Greater in Whiterun as soon as possible. It's getting late and I wouldn't want to make the trip at night so I decide to explore the town a bit before heading to Hod and Gerdur's house to sleep.

I visited the Blacksmith, Alvor to help him around the forge and hone my Smithing a bit.

I then headed for the Inn for a mug of ale and maybe some friendly conversation with the locals.

Feeling hungry I ordered some food as well from the Barkeep, He was a Gruff man. Seems to take his job very seriously, I respected that. I also met two other strange characters, A bulky Redguard man who was a Gladiator in the Arena in the Imperial City, and a desperate manservant who worked in the Inn who aspires to become a great adventurer.

Afterwards I headed to Hod and Gerdur's house and turned in for the night shortly after having some small talk with the family including discussing the Dragon with Hod and talking about the town with Gerdur. I have a feeling Tomorrow will be a big day.
