A Blacksmith with a Green Thumb

After my difficult journey through Volunruud, I realized that I needed to upgrade my weapons and armor.  I went to War-maiden's the Whiterun blacksmith, and traded my loot for some iron and steel ingots in order to craft myself a set of steel Armor, along with a new steel sword and a banded iron shield.  I also stopped in to the local alchemy shop. I was curious, from all the potions I had found lying around, how easy it could be to produce my own. I asked the shop keeper to help me learn and for a few hundred gold she trained me in the complex skill of alchemy.

Once I became confident in my skill, I went on a long hike down a road just at the base of the Throat of the World east of Whiterun. I collected every plant, root and mushroom I could find, and even looted some caves that bandits had made their camp.  I followed the river down till I came to an open plain. As I continued to venture on I saw a figure all to familiar being to fly towards me. I was hoping with my new armor and weapons that I would be able to take this dragon down without the help of the guards. As the dragon landed in front of me, it roared and I could almost understand it, like it was speaking to me. As I drew my sword to begin my attack, It spoke. This time I heard it clear as day. "Yor Toor Shul" before I was able to even begin to translate it, a blast of flame burst out of the dragons mouth and I had just enough time to dive behind a rock.  The battle raged but before long I had bested the dragon and it fell before my feet.  As I began to walk away the dragon began to dissolve and its soul hat started to be absorbed. I stood and watched as my body took what little the fallen dragon had left till there was nothing but a skeletal corpse before me.

I decided to make my way back to Whiterun in order to recuperate and decide my next adventure.
