I wondering if I wrote a Skyrim fanfic would anyone read it. I first started playing it a few weeks ago and It's addictive, especially with my buddy serana 💕 (See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
Chapter Text Well, Luz! [elbows her] Did you ever in your life think you'd see something as breathtaking as this? [Eda gestures to the corpse of a trash slug that towers over them. It's surrounded by trash and muck. Flies audibly buzz around the corpse.]
Luz shaking her head. I don't like this. [She plugs her nose.]
Eda walks to the trash slug. Yes, it doesn't get much more inspiring than the trash slug. It makes a home, a life from what others have thrown by the wayside. [pulls a rubber chicken from the trash slug's mouth] Until, blam, it gets blasted by a wave one day and croaks from all the salt. And then we get to sell the stuff it ate. [She pulls out a pickaxe.]
Please don't make me.
King walking away. Aw, come on, Luz. [unfurls a towel] It's not every day you get to go to the dump and pick apart a garbage carcass.
Ah, nuts to you both. Eda swings the pick at the trash slug.]
Luz: So, Eda...
[Glass shatters]
What if we tried some new lessons for my apprenticeship? Like...
[Something crashes.]
Read ancient scrolls or mix together potions, or‐
Eda: [while tossing things from the trash slug's mouth] Ugh. That sounds like a bunch of magic school stuff.
....Wait. Is there a magic school here? Like, winding towers, cute uniforms, dark plots that threaten your life kind of magic school?
Mm‐hmm. What's worse, they force you to learn magic the "proper" way. But magic isn't proper. It's wild and unpredictable. And that's why it's so beautiful. I didn't finish school, and look at me! Who wouldn't envy where I am right now?
[Flies are flying around the pile of trash Eda is currently standing in. Luz's expression falls.]
Uh... Hey, here's a lesson. [drops her pick] A great witch is resourceful, [sticks Luz's hand in a puddle of trash slug bile] like this.
[Eda drags Luz's hand back and forth before letting go. Luz continues digging until she pulls something out.]
Oh, hey. Greasy slime ball.
Eda closes Luz's hands around the slime ball. Use your slime ball wisely, young witch. [stands and heads back for the trash slug] Back at it! We'll hit the stink nodes first.
Actually, if it's okay, [starts backing away] I think I'll head home and look at pictures of animals that are still... alive. Love you, King. [pets his belly]
King: [giggles]
You little beach peach. [continues walking into the woods]
King: [sighs]
Eda shrugged. More for me, then. [She climbs into the trash slug, sending several things clattering.] There we go. Okay. [She tosses out a cheese grater, an electric fan, and a tuba, the last of which lands on King's head.]
King: Ow! [struggles to free himself]
Eda: This is awesome! ____________
Moments later. Oswald carries a brown sack full unquestionable items, walks up to see Eda mining the trash slug. Ah. I was wondering what that familiar stench was.
It's the stench of money is what it is!
Sure. Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that I'm off to sell a few things be back later and don't forget to watch the kids. Oswald exclaimed before walking away.
_______________ At the market.
Katya and her bard group walking up to Oswald's tent. I thought I recognized you. You're that witch who's daughter organized the prison riot, right?
Derwin: You did what now?
Oswald spoke nervously Katya. Uh, well, Luz isn't actually my daughter. She's just this kid who me and my wife feed, look after, make sure she's tucked in at night--
Amber: ......So she's basically your daughter.
...Oh my Titan! Luz is basically our adopted daughter. Oswald adds speechless.
_________
Few hours later.
So, what did I miss today? Oswald exclaimed cooking dinner.
I snuck into magic school and nearly got dissected.
A giant worm nearly ate me and Eda didn't help until I begged her to.
Oswald gives Eda a frown look.
Eda: ...To be fair, they didn't die. ..The kid also made new friends!
Their names are Gus and Willow. Luz happily exclaimed.
You hear that? Gus and Willow! Isn't that wonderful?
Eda your on ...Dish duty.
Fucking hell! Dang it!
