9. Who taught my muse how to fight?
Nor has had a fair few teachers throughout the years that taught him basic swordplay and how to defend himself and the like. It started with his blood relatives when he was still fairly young. Growing up in Black Marsh one pretty much had to be able to handle a weapon of some sort, after all. However it wasn’t until he joined the Dark Brotherhood that he was taught the finer points of daggerwork and the more stealthy ways of fighting. And while Nor didn’t ever have just one teacher in terms of the Brotherhood either, his main instructor on the subject was a female Orc named Dura.
12. A drabble in which my muse is forced to fight together with someone they hate.
A light flick of his wrist, the ebony blade slicing into desiccated flesh as Nor almost danced from one target to another, clearing the way for the one following him to cleave through the paralyzed draugr in one fell swoop. When the Argonian has to slide backward to avoid the sharpened head of an axe he feels a breeze pass by his tail, and considerably far too close for comfort.
"Watch it Soliene! I happen to like my tail!" Nor swiftly steps forward in an attempt to avoid another swing from the Nord, another draugr falling to the side as the dagger finds its mark.
"Hey! I didn’t ask for your help! I can handle myself!" A gritting of her teeth as her own blade meets weathered flesh. "A few draugr is nothing!"
"Like hell!" Nor shouts back, the Razor plunging deep into another draugr’s skull before it is shoved roughly to the ground. "Keerava didn’t send me after you so I could split loot, and this is hardly a few draugr!" The Argonian’s teeth are bared in a snarl as Nor brings both blades to the fore, wearily eyeing another one of the undead as it rouses itself from its ledge and reaches for a greatsword.
"Why I let myself get talked into these things I’ll never know."
