Madi's Resolve

Madi casted Flame spells which easily killed the giant spider. This is not his first time encountering giant spiders, back when he was escaping Helgen with Ralof, of course he felt nervous the first he saw one, but this time, he easily burns the spider.

"Ughh!" Madi grunted as he pushes away the burnt giant spider's body over him.

Arvel, who was stuck in the big cobweb created by the Spider called out to Madi.

"Get me down. Get me down!"

'I'm guessing that this bastard has Lucan's claw.' Madi thought to himself as he slowly walks toward Arvel.

"Where's the golden claw?" Madi asked as he look at Arvel straight to his eyes.

"Yes, the claw. I know how it works. The claw, the markings, the door in the Hall of Stories. I know how they all fit together! Help me down, and I'll show you. You won't believe the power the Nords have hidden there." Arvel replied as he struggles in the cobweb, trying to free himself.

'Gotta get the claw first, I can sense that this bastard's going to do something funny.' "Hand over the claw first!" Madi said reaching out his right arm.

"Does it look like I can move? You have to cut me down, first." Arvel replied.

"Fine. Let me see if I can cut you down." Madi sighed and used his flames to free Arvel from the big cobweb.

"Sweet breath of Arkay, thank you." Arvel said as he watches Madi burns the cobwebs.

"It's coming loose. I can feel it." Arvel said as Madi is close to burning almost all of the cobwebs.

Arvel was freed. "Now, where's the claw?" Madi asked. But, instead of answering him, Arvel bolts off into the trap-filled dungeon. He ran through a door behind him.

"You fool; why should I share the treasure with anyone?"

'This motherfucker!'

Madi chases Arvel. The pursuit leads into a draugr-filled crypt, where undead denizens were asleep.

These undead denizens are called Draugrs. They are malevolent undead creatures; they are believed to be Nords who died whose spirits did not leave their bodies.

A Draugr woke up as Arvel runs through the crypt. He didn't notice a pressure plate on the floor and trips over it, the swinging spike trap was activated and Arvel faced a gruesome demise.

Good thing the Draugr was chasing Arvel when the swinging spike trap activated. The Draugr was eliminated along with Arvel.

'I wonder what creatures are inside this place they call Bleak Falls Barrow' Madi thought to himself.

Madi searched Arvel for the Dragon claw and recovered it, he didn't just found the claw but also found Arvel's journal.

'I wonder what's written in this?' Madi decided to read at least a page of Arvel's journal.

Madi opens Arvels journal.

[ My fingers are trembling. The Golden Claw is finally in my hands, and with it, the power of the ancient Nordic heroes. That fool Lucan Valerius had no idea that his favorite store decoration was actually the key to Bleak Falls Barrow.

Now I just need to get to the Hall of Stories and unlock the door. The legend says there is a test that the Nords put in place to keep the unworthy away, but that "when you have the golden claw, the solution is in the palm of your hands." ]

Madi discovered the claw is a key to some kind of treasure, thanks to Arvel's journal he finds that out. Madi ignored the fact that there are more Draugrs ahead, he needed more coins and treasure in order for him to get to move freely in this world by becoming rich.

'I need more gold coins and treasures I can sell for more coins.'

Madi grabbed the Draugrs' sword and shield, and he switched his robes with Arvel's Hide Armor.

Madi walked through a stairway.

Madi have no idea that there are Draugrs asleep in the crypt he was in right now. Draugrs who were asleep woke up.

Growl~

'Oh no!' Madi saw the three Draugrs who were awakened. He was outnumbered, and know to himself that he can't take on three at the same time. But, he came up with an idea.

He plans to use the trap where Arvel and the other Draugrs were killed earlier.

'Well, time to go back to that room.' Madi said and immediately run back.

Madi was being chased by the Draugrs, and he led them to the trap. He waited for the moment where the Draugr will be within the reach of the swinging spike trap.

'Let's a wait for a few more seconds'

Growl~

Madi cautiously watched the Draugrs who were approaching him.

Madi stepped on the trap and jumped back, the Spike Gate whooshed and killed the Draugrs.

Madi dropped the shield and picked up another sword from the Draugr.

'Time to be like Kirito' Madi thought as he was holding swords on both hands.

Madi then reached a doorway with swinging axe, he observed how fast the axe moves, when he memorized the timing, Madi then run through the door way and safely reached the other side.

He then saw a chain with a handle and pulled it, it made the swinging axe stop.

Madi went down further, this time he decided to sneak to avoid waking the sleeping Draugrs. 'I guess I have to move slowly and quietly.' However, he made a mistake, his sword scrapped the walls which made a sound and woke one Draugr.

Growl~

The Draugr was behind Madi. Madi got slashed from behind.

"Ahkk!" Madi starts bleeding as he fell down on the ground, facing down.

Madi usually shivers at times like this, however, Madi's resolve to survive and learn more about this world gets stronger and stronger. He let go of his swords, his left hand accumulates a green essence and the right hand accumulates a fiery essence.

Madi casted flames against the Draugr while casting a healing spell on himself.

He killed the Draugr and healed himself. Madi got up and sneaked again, this time going slowly.

He passed all the sleeping Draugrs, and then encountered a room with a tomb. As he approaches the tomb, a Draugr came out of it.

Madi immediately hid and grabbed his bow.

Madi pulled out an arrow and applied poison in it.

Madi killed the Draugr with the poisoned arrow. Madi sheathed his bow on his back and fiery essence began to accumulate on both of his hands.

Madi burns every single Draugr that gets in his way and finally, reaching the hall of stories, where at the end lies a big iron wall with rotating rings and 3 holes where the Golden claw can fit.

'I guess this is where I should insert this Golden claw' Madi inserts the Claw through the keyhole and twisted it, but nothing happened.

'Perhaps this is another puzzle.' Madi thought, and once again opened Arvel's journal and searched for clues.

[ My fingers are trembling. The Golden Claw is finally in my hands, and with it, the power of the ancient Nordic heroes. That fool Lucan Valerius had no idea that his favorite store decoration was actually the key to Bleak Falls Barrow.

Now I just need to get to the Hall of Stories and unlock the door. The legend says there is a test that the Nords put in place to keep the unworthy away, but that "when you have the golden claw, the solution is in the palm of your hands." ]

"Hmm… the solution is in the palm of your hands?"

Madi held the Golden claw at the back, and removed his right palm on the Golden claw. And there he finds symbols. Symbols which are also found in the circular rotating rings of the iron wall.

Madi easily solved the puzzle and opened the iron wall which turns out to be a door.

Madi entered and went up the stairway. He finds himself in a spacious cave with a big stone tome with symbols unable to be read by humans. However, Madi somehow managed to read what was written in the tome.

The tome contains instructions on how to use unrelenting force, and the requisites to use this. One has to consume a Dragon soul before he can initiate one. It also indicated that only a Dragonborn can absorb a Dragon's soul.

'There it is again, the word Dragonborn. What's so special about Dragonborns?' Madi thought. However, he saw a chest, and didn't hesitated to walk near it. He was about to open the chest when a Draugr got out of the tomb beside it.

"Oh…"

Growl~

"Another ugly bitch"

Madi fought the Draugr. But he didn't expect it to know the unrelenting force shout.

"Fus!" the Draugr shouted and Madi got down on his knees. He then realized that this was the test Arvel mentioned on his journal.

'I'm going to put this monster down!' "Come on mother fucker!"

Fiery and lightning essence accumulated on Madi's left and right hands.

It didn't take Madi too long to take the Draugr down.

After the battle, Madi looted the chest and the table near the tomb and obtained a Dragonstone, Ancient Nord Battle Axe of Gold, Gold Coins, Hide shield of resist magic, Branded Iron armor of illusion, Garnets, Ring with Green essence, Iron ingot, Poison vial and Petty soul gem.

Madi returned to Lucan's shop and Lucan was surprised to see Madi return not in Robes, but in armor.

"I found the golden claw." Madi said, raising his right hand holding the Dragon claw.

"You found it?" Lucan quickly go near to Madi.

Madi gave Lucan the claw. "Ha ha ha. There it is."

"You did a great thing for me and my brother." Camilla said who were sitting behind Madi.

"Strange... it seems smaller than I remembered. Funny thing, huh?" Lucan returned the claw to a display case.

"I'm going to put this back where it belongs. I'll never forget this. You've done a great thing for me and my sister." Lucan gave Madi a bag containing 400 gold coins and a ring.

"It means so much to us." Camilla said as Madi and her crossed each other's eyes.

Madi smiled and said, "No problem" 'I have to learn more magic, quickly gather information, and find out a way to get out of this world.'

"Do come back." Lucan Valerius said as Madi stepped out of their shop.

Madi's resolve become stronger after his adventure on Bleak Falls Barrow. He is not afraid to fight against anyone or any creature anymore.

'I just want to get out of this world.'
