I was playing with my Altmer mage, training him in destruction skills, and well, passing some bad moments when things got ugly so many times and mana ran out. Not surprisely I was doing the college quest, and was just returning from sarthal when a saber cat attacked.

The Damm thing didn’t want to die and I couldnt run faster than it, and when I was praying to the eight, some stray dog jumps in the fray and distracts the cat enough time to chug some potions and blast that beast to kingdom come. The dog ws hurt so I use my healing hands on him and from then on, he was my trusted companion.

We ran some adventures together, maybe he wasn’t that strong by himself, neither was I, but he helped me a lot, taking enemies off me till or finishing the ones I hurt, yeah that dog saved my life many times, and I was grateful. Even against the fiery might of a dragon, that dog stood its ground, attacking the neck while I flinged fireballs from afar.

But one day, when crossing the mountains of the pale, a group of bandits ambushed us. No sweat I say, we dispatched them easily, but then I noticed that something was wrong. two giants and their pet mammoth were coming. I don’t know why they attacked, I used no area of effect spells and only hit the bandits. why are they attacking us?.

My dog leaped right at them, trying to defend me, but the giants were too strong and subdued him fast. There he was clinging to life at the feet of the giants, and from a moment, I didn’t know what to do, run for my life seemed the logical path, but I didn’t want to leave him there after all we been trough, so I attacked. Then I saw how even hurt and clinging to life, my dog was helping me to his best, blocking the giants path to me so I could finish those giants.

And the giants caught up, they saw my dog and then, a thundering sound and I saw my companion one last time, rocketed to heaven from the powerful giant blow…he was dead…DEAD!!!!...OBLIVION TAKE YOU ALL GIANTS!!

I used all my powers, called the strength of my blood, used my potions, and blasted the dammed creatures with all my might. Burned their skin off, shocked them till their muscles screamed in pain, and then froze them wishing for the chill of the death to grasp to their bones and make them suffer. I even took their souls for nothing in this plane will release them form the suffering I would give to them.

After that…Nothing. My companion died, his corpse catapulted to some unknown location. Not even the chance for a proper burial. My tears flowed like for no one else. And then I took an oath. In the memory of my companion, loyal to the end, I will rid this land of giants and mammoths, I will kill them everywhere, anywhere, no matter if Dragons, Daedra or mortal gets in my way. They will die! Frozen, burned and shocked, then I will capture their souls, and use them to fuel my own power even more no place will be safe, For Alec the giant slayer will kill all of them!.

Your story is exactly why I won't take a dog as a companion in this game. Nice story.

pretty cool

Loved it..awesome. I have Vigilence with me but I worry so much about him, I leave him outside when i got into dungeons now.

Craft a nice warm hat with his hide. Then you won't ever really be parted.

If only all of us could die shuch a noble death!! I will have 10min of silence in honor my good mage, and shall slay the first giant I see in the memory of thine dog for I to know the loss of a faithful companion of the k9 class.

Very nice.
