Before leaving her hometown of Dune, Ji'Zahni visited the marketplace. Snatching food, wine and other essential items for her journey, she noticed a stack of blank notebooks on one of the stalls, she began a ritual the Silent Walker would be proud of. She swiped the notebook as she headed for the road, beginning her journey to explore Tamriel... Now that Ji has had the journal for a time, one can see the pages are scrawled with the stories of each day gone by, crude drawings and her name "Ji" carved into the leather cover of the journal.
This one is aboard the boat now, even has her own hammock! This ship is very nice and very fast! this one can feel the speed of the boat as the water make a rushing noise against the ship. This is good! Ji does not want to spend too much of her travels on board this thing! Besides, folks aboard this ship don't appreciate this ones lute playing!! Asked around to some of the other Khajiit, they say were headed for some place called the Auridon... Doesn't matter to this one, wherever we go is where she hasn't been before!
Starting to feel sick.. damned waves..
Been sailing for three days now, maybe four? One of the sailors let this one get up into the crow's nest with him to see the land in the distance earlier.. lots of pretty trees, yes? Ji thinks the sailor-Khajiit likes her! Hehehe!
i is sitting on deck now, we are pulling into the harbor! What a beautiful land this is! This one has never seen so many Elves in all her life!
Aha! Ji has found her pack! Yesterday, after this one got off the boat she found a few fat-pockets and helped herself!! Maybe because this one dosen't know what local guards looks like here, but Ji didn't notice this Thalmor elf nearby... He saw this one when she swiped the coin purse from some elf lady! Next thing Ji knew she was spending her first night in Auridon in prison.. Not exactly as this one had planned.
This one wasn't there for long when a dark skinned mer set her free this morning, seems the folks of this town ain't too happy with these Thalmor and took pity on Ji!
Styphon was his name! Styphon and this one made a mad dash for the port, Ji could find a place to hide out in that busy spot. We weren't there long before some Khajiit lady starting shoveling the sand where we stood, rude! She said her name was The Auctioneer.. some attitude on that one! But Ji is one to talk! Hehe!
The Auctioneer dug up a case.. skooma!! This one tried to steal some but that Auctioneer is swift! Instead Ji ended up sailing to some place called Woodhearth with Styphon and some others while the Auctioneer bled us dry.. Suppose it is that one's boat. Ji is a little rusty on the fishin', but we caught enough for the trip.
The Auctioneer docked her boat in some stinkin' swamp outside Woodhearth, this place has trees bigger than anything Ji has ever seen! They explained that nobody was allowed inside the place 'cause of the Thalmor were lockin' the place down tight, those guys are really starting to get on this one's nerves!
So we followed The Auctioneer towards Woodhearth. She had a pretty decent plan, wish this one had come up with it first! She had one of our crew.. Think his name was Sycon or something along those lines...he pretended to be one of those Thalmor and us, his lowly prisoners!
Some stupid guard questioned us about what we were doin', that Auctioneer got quite nervous and gave the case to Styphon. He disappeared into the town, hope she trusts him! Hahaha! We got away anyway, Ji put on a good prisoner act at least! Ha!
Hiding out in some empty house for now, probably gonna sneak out later, there's gotta be a good tavern around here somewhere. Gotta avoid those filthy Thalmor though...
Spent a few days in Woodhearth now, nice place.. If it wasn't for the Thalmor! They are makin' everyone's life around here hell! How is this one supposed to swipe things if there are always an army of guards on every street!! At least this one managed to make a few friends here so far. Dar'Atrabi, S'har, J'Zhirr to name a few! This one is very popular it seems, Heehee!
Earlier this one overheard one whispering to his friend of a hidden skooma stash... All this one had to do was charm the stupid old Khajiit and he gave up the location! Hahaha! Now Ji will have some fun!
This has got to be the worst place to visit first on this ones journey! There was a rather large group of folks at the local tavern Five-Claws tonight, everyone seemed to be havin' a good time. But the usual bane in this town, showed their ugly faces again, those damned Thalmor! Came and arrested some dark Khajiit, everyone was really fussin' themselves over him! Ha!
Followed them to see what was happening, they almost killed the Khajiit! This one was watching behind a tree, they did not seem to see Ji though, everyone seemed to scatter when some of his pals picked him up and dragged him off towards the docks. This one panicked and ran after them as she noticed a few familiar faces running towards the docks as well.
Hiding from guards at a dockyard, is this going to be the theme of this one's adventure? This one hopes not!!
When Ji was wandering around the port area she met a few new faces one was a GREAT bard named Shere'Khaan! This one hopes one day he will teach her to play better.... And Ansaari!! Ji likes that Khajiit, she is a funny one!!
Found a place to sleep for now in some abandoned tower near the docks, figured those Thalmor wouldn't check there.
This one was just hanging around the town with a few of her friends when a few Thalmor approached. Heh, asked Ji what she knew of what happened in Five Claws the other night, of course Ji didn't tell them anything.. She wouldn't give them the recipe for boiling water if they asked, those filthy bone-heads!
One of them almost broke this ones arm! Grabbed Ji and held her in the air, even held a blade to this one's throat, the bastard! But this one would rather die then give them what they want! The one with the blade sliced this one's arm, the coward couldn't even slit this one's throat like he promised! Ji knew they were spineless! Ha!
After a while he let this one go.. Probably 'cause J'Zhirr had an arrow aimed for his eye. The rest of us ran back to the boat everyone seems so familiar with, might be a safe place for this one to hide out... for now anyway.
So Ji has got what she wanted: To get the hell outta Woodhearth! This one did not intend to do so, but when she fell asleep in the cabin last night, she did not know they had planned to depart! Suppose this one is getting the journey she desires... Although we're headin' back to Reapers March.. This one guesses she dosent have to go to Dune already though, there is much of the area this one has not explored!!
This one has at least a few friends aboard the vessel, just going to break out the wine and relax for now, there's more than a few here who can entertain Ji!
(( I'm going to keep adding to this as time goes on. It's Ji's journal of the events she is part of or witnesses in her own words and POV. Also giving a view into how her life and abilities progress over time. If you have any suggestions, comments or edits (cause I might get something mixed up or plain wrong from time to time let me know :D ))
