Proving My Worth

I arrived in Whiterun and was met by Aela, she was a shield sister of the Companions. After much of my adventures alone it wouldn't be a bad idea to join a clan, and gain some allies.  She told me to talk the Companions leader, Kodlak if I was interested in joining. I entered Jorrvaskr which housed the clan and proceeded down the stairs to Kodlak's room. After speaking with him, he instructed Vilkas another Shield Brother, to test my skill.  Vilkas took me to the courtyard and we battled.  It wasn't a long battle he simply was testing my sword swings and blocks, afterwards he asked me to deal with a towns person in Whiterun  who had bee vandalizing some buildings but I was not to kill him simply rough him up.

It wasn't too long till I returned to Jorrvaskr and was sent on yet another mission to find a shard of Wuuthrad. Wuuthrad was the legendary axe wielded by the founder of the companions, Ysgamor.  It had since been destroyed and it's pieces scattered. It was the Companions goal to one day bring all the pieces together and reforge this ancient battle axe. This mission would be my trial, and i was accompanied by Farkas, who was brothers with Vilkas.

Farkas and I left Whiterun and headed towards Dustman's Cairn, where it was rumored that we would find the shard.  Within the tomb we had encounters with many draugr but as I explored one of the rooms a Gate came crashing down sealing me of from Farkas.  Five Silver hand warriors, apparently had known of our quest and laid this trap and now surround Farkas.  As he backed up towards the gate I had been sealed behind, he threw down his weapon and began to transform. Farkas, right before my eyes, had become a lycan, and as the silver hand attacked he tore them all apart with precision and speed. He ran off soon after the last enemy had fallen and the gate suddenly opened. When I walked around the corner there stood Vilkas, armor and all, no fur or claws.
