All three, Darius, Lydia, and Uthgerd were wearing the steel armor, looking like king's guards, they had just left Riverwood and were making their way to Helgen.
But why Helgen? It was so Darius could loot some corpse, some disgraceful act to earn gold, but not as disgraceful as Griffith getting backshots for money.
.
.
.
Having not encountered anything dangerous, Lydia was relieved, while Darius and Uthgerd were looking for a battle, for different reasons, of course.
Uthgerd, because she hated being ordered around, so she had to let her anger out somewhere else, and Darius, because he was bored.
But, their wishes could not come true, as they shortly reached Helgen. Uthgerd and Lydia were in shock at the destruction caused by the dragon even when they had already heard rumors of how much destruction the dragon had caused to Helgen, they were still surprised seeing it for themselves.
Darius told them to wait there, as he was going down alone, and they might not like what he was going down to do.
Uthgerd agreed in a blink of an eye, not having to be with him, even for a moment, was a blessing for her. Lydia would've protested if Uthgerd had not already agreed, as it was her duty to be with him, but thinking that she'd be alone with him, and he, for a fact would remind her of the embarrassing incident of last night.
So, she agreed with him as well, so they roamed above as Darius opened Helgen's keep with the key he took from Sonia, and headed down.
Entering the cave-like area beneath Helgen, Darius found no dead bodies, what was left were ashes, it seemed someone had deliberately burned those bodies, as they were stacked upon one another.
He walked further in, and what he saw shocked him, the lever bridge that was barred due to the wall falling on it was clear of the rubble that was blocking it.
'Did more Stormclocks come through after we had left?' Darius thought to himself.
As he walked deeper inside the cave, he found dead spiders, their bodies burned to a crisp, "Fuck!" Darius screamed.
"My loot!!!!"
.
.
.
It wouldn't have been more than 20 minutes, before Darius was back, knowing that everything was looted or burned below, he came back up, a bit disheartened.
Uthgerd looking at his face remembered a boy in Whiterun, who had made the same face when his Sweet Roll had fallen on the ground and before he could pick it up, someone stepped on it.
Remembering, the somehow hysterical event she laughed out loud, much to Darius's chagrin.
Pfftt!!
Hahaha!!
He glared at her and gave her a cynical smile, which shut her up for a moment, but knowing he was already going to make her work her ass off, she decided to double down and began laughing again.
Bahaha!!!
Lydia covered her mouth with her hand stifling her laughter.

A/N[From Purple to Green]
Darius was leading them, and they quietly followed. The path Darius found was going to be quite cold, as it was covered with 2 feet deep snow, but cold to a Nord is like water to a fish.
And all three happen to be one, except one, who was an exception.
They followed the path ahead, but there was a problem, just a few steps ahead of them was a camp, a camp of Falkreath's Stormcloacks.
'I don't think they'll attack, will they?' Darius thought.
As they moved toward Orphan Rock, They came across an abandoned camp of Stormcloacks. The camp was completely run through, and nothing of value was found. Darius felt even more dejected than before, but he put that matter aside as a possibility came to mind.
'Are these the same guys that came to rescue Ulfric?' He questioned himself, he stiffened and looked around, Lydia and Uthgerd were on their toes seeing him suddenly be so observant, Darius sighed soon after finding they were all alone, 'Well, they'll be in Windhelm already,' He thought and decided to let his mind be at ease.
They moved past the camp, the surroundings getting colder and whiter as they moved forward, crossing the ravine path leading them to the orange-leaf trees. The sudden shift in their environment felt surreal, but it was welcomed nonetheless.
They walked the mud path, now surrounded by orange-leaf trees, instead of snow hills, the leaf fell and flew past them along with a cool breeze, Soon they passed a Guidepost, telling them which way Ivarstead was, but Darius didn't need to look at it, because of the system, so they maintained their pace.
.
.
.
Inside Ivarstead:
They stood at the bridge over the river that ran beside Ivarstead, a man stood on the bridge talking with an elf, a wood elf specifically.
They walked past them when the bald man called, "Hey, big fella and the ladies!" Darius with a small smile, turned to him, his mind racing with ideas on how to empty this guy's pockets.
"Yes, what is it?" Darius asked.
"Passing through on your way to High Hrothgar? About to make a delivery myself," He said, walking up to them, now standing at the distance of two steps from the three.
Darius sighed in his head, 'Just say what you want to,' He thought as the guy in front was going all over the place except to the point, 'You're gonna pay me for playing along as well,' He thought.
"What types of Deliveries?" Darius asked, but stopped Klimmek from answering as he added, "Fishes and Fresh items for the Greybeards, right?" He said.
"Aah- Yes, exactly that, as Greybeard don't wonder out much," Kilmmek said.
"So... what's the problem??" Darius asked with a pause.
"Well, the Trouble is, my legs aren't what they used to be and climbing the 7,000 steps takes its toll,"
"So, you want me to do the delivery?" Darius asked.
"Only if you want to," Kilmmek.
"How much??" Darius asked. The sudden forwardness surprised even Lydia and Uthgerd, 'Greedy bastard,' Uthgerd thought.
"Uhm, well I can pay you 200 Septims," Kilmmek told him.
Darius turned around and started walking away, leaving Lydia, Uthgerd, and Kilmmek dumbfounded, Lydia and Uthgerd quickly ran behind him, after a few steps.
Kilmmek shouted, "500!" Darius stopped in his tracks. "What about the troll up there?" Darius asked him.
'Troll' Lydia and Uthgerd had that word stuck in their heads, Kilmmek gulped down his saliva and remembered something.

Loredas, 16th of Last of Seed, 4E201
A day before, the return of Alduin, the world eater, a man was on his way to High Hrothgar, with a backpack on his shoulders, delivering food to the Greybeards. There was another man with him, who was on his way to pray and read the emblems, that were scattered throughout the 7,000 steps journey.
.
.
.
"You come here often?" The man asked Klimmek.
"You can say that, I come here every few weeks," Klimmek answered.
The journey was silent, the man with Klimmek, it was his first time climbing so high up the mountain, as he would normally stop at around 2,800, the highest he climbed was 4,000 steps.
Soon, they reached a path surrounded by rocks, which surrounded the path so high that if someone were to put logs up there, the path would look like a tunnel.
As they were about to cross it, they heard a roar, more ferocious than any animal they had ever come across before, they looked up, to where the sound came from and saw, a more than 7 feet tall Frost troll, the strongest and the most resilient of the species stood atop them.
ROAR!!!!
Sensing their gaze was set on him, it roared again, louder than before as it jumped from above, landing right in front of them.
Klimmek and the stranger's eyes were set on his three black eyes, the stranger stood behind Klimmek, when he unsheathed his sword, bringing it in front of him to shield from any attack.
The Frost Troll jumped on Klimmek, seeing him frozen in his spot, the Troll's jaw was wide-open as it launched himself forward, bringing Klimmek down to the ground.
It was about maul Klimmek, when the stranger thrusted his sword in its shoulder, the troll winced in pain backing away from Klimmek. Klimmek finally out of his daze, stood up from the ground, and ran, leaving the stranger behind to fend for himself.
The stranger's eyes moved toward him for a second, his face filled with sadness at the sudden betrayal as he was plummeted to the ground by the Troll, it saw its opportunity to strike, and it began to eat him alive as the man screamed.
Aaaarg!
Heeelp!
Someone!!
Klimmek who was running still in shock, 'Where did it come?' he asked himself, his pace increasing as much as it could in the heavy snow.
Huff!!
Huff!
His breathing was irregular as the cold made it harder for him to breathe, his steps began to stagger, but he kept running for fear that the troll might catch up to him, not knowing it was busy devouring a dead man.
He kept running, but he was soon out of breath, his eyes a little blurry and he didn't see a rock sitting in front of him, he kept running, and his foot made contact with the rock.
Krunch!!
If someone stood next to him they would be able to hear the bones breaking in his foot, He screamed feeling the pain, and stumbled, falling into the snow, and he soon blacked out.
.
.

17th of Last Seed
Klimmek woke up on his bed with a sudden jolt and fear written on his face, he looked finding none, he tried to stand but was unable to, looking at his feet, he remembered what had happened, as the flashes of memories were quite vivid now.
He soon released a sigh of relief and was thankful that he lived. He asked Gwilin the wood elf, how he got here, and he told him he found him at the bridge.
Someone on the pilgrimage had saved his life but had taken everything on him of value for themselves.
.
.
.
"T-The Troll," Klimmek stuttered.
"Yeah, the one above," Darius said.
Klimmek thought for a moment, and said, "I'll give you 2000 gold if you bring me the troll's head," Klimmek said determined, this was his savings that he was willing to spend, remembering Vilor's(Stranger's) face. He had felt regret in these last few days, had he helped him would the outcome have changed?
"That's what I'm talking about," Darius with a stupid smile said, seeing that he 4x his earning, he was filled with excitement.
System Prompt: Quest: Deliver Food to the Greybeards:
Reward: 10 Attributes
And he will be getting 10 Attribute points as well.
Klimek gave him two bags filled with food, which Darius gave to his two minions to carry, he could put them into his inventory, but that's just boring.
Lydia took it silently, while Uthgerd had a tick mark on her face, but still took it.
.
.
.
Darius, Lydia, and Uthgerd climbed the mountain, Uthgerd and Darius were excited for different reasons, one was greed, and the other was battle. While Lydia moved cautiously, as she had never fought a beast as big as Troll before, since she mostly trained with people as a soldier
They continued the cold now taking its effect on the Nord's reliant blood, sending shivers, through their bodies.
They soon arrived at the Beast's lair. He stood atop the cliff, that surrounded the path, and it roared.
ROAR!!!
It Jumped down, Not knowing what Darius had prepared for it, Even his companions didn't know it, ass they steadied their swords, Darius put his wrists together, his palms open and facing the beast.
KaaaMeeeHaaMeeHaaa!!!
He screamed in his head as a laser-like beam shot out of his hands, with a circumference of around 16 inches, dug into the beast's chest, killing it, before it even had a chance to blink.
The beast fell on his back, and Uthgerd and Lydia were utterly shocked at the strength and mastery of his Magic, 'He's not just physically strong,' Both wondered.
Uthgerd soon came out of shock and looked at the ground with pity, that she didn't even get to swing her at such a marvelous creature.
She sighed and sheathed her sword, "Wait," Darius stopped, "Cut its head first," He said as he needed it for proof.
"Yes, sir," Uthgerd said dejectedly.
