This is my second journal, my first, http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1413717-journal-of-wuldburr-the-warrior/#top, was to practise writing these from my characters point of view.
Backstory
Elmaen grew up near the town of helgen with his father Hjamach, his mother Moslani, his older brother Frakii, and his sister Lionas.
At the age of five he learnt how to wield a blade.
At the age of seven he learnt how to use a bow.
At the of ten he learnt the skills of how to survive in the wild.
At the age of sixteen he began his journey, at the age of sixteen his life changed forever.
It all began when he was out hunting with his brother, with an elk lined up perfectly he heard his mothers scream. He rushed home just in time to see his parents limp bodies being hauled off by the Imperials, and his sister running off with a hoard of Imperials chasing after her.
Frakii stopped Elmaen charging at the Imperials and told him to follow closely.
After a while they saw their parents lined up for the chopping block in helgen, after witnessing their execution a dragon attacked, running in terror and anguish they made to riverwood in each others arms crying.
