Azumi Hirake

[Skyrim]

The story of [color=#FF0000]Azumi Hirake and Yoshiko Hirake




..:How it all began:..

Treasure lies where your heart belongs.
Listen to the signs and they shall lead you the way.
Never get the wind up, because fear itself is the obstacle to your dreams.

- Your father.

After reading the last words my father wrote to me. I tossed away the paper with tears in my eyes.
"Foolish father, you told me to listen to my heart and the signs will guide me. Now look where it got me into!" I shouted with a furious voice.

His words were in no use, all it did was getting myself into a deadlock. I have been damaged so badly, that I can't even identify my Blood Dragon ship anymore. The wings, the guns, the powercore... all ripped into pieces. Floating around in space now.

"Even if I get out of this mess I won't have enough money for repairs", I moaned. What will I work as now? My whole life I been a pirate. I nurtured myself by robbing poor merchants that cross my path.
A knife won't scare them...

Suddenly... a loud blare went off from my radar. "Ohh no, not again!" I panicked. Liberty Police incoming! The same guys I ran from in California, and I saved myself with a couple of components blown of my ship. How on earth were I supoosed to hide now?

"This is where my journey ends" I thought. One missile was incomming, and few seconds later I fell unconscious...

..:The Rebirth:..

Not knowing for how long I was gone. I woke up, on a bed!

"Where am I!?" I screamed. As a long mysterious man with a hood approached from the entrance. For every step he took, it echoed through the whole treating-room. When he was near going past my bed, he stopped walking. With a mighty voice he said; "This is Vecpucci, and I'm Drake Thastus, Commander of the HellFire Legion".

"But, but, what about the Navy pilots? I told him.

"Don't worry. They been taken cared of" He answered. Then he turned around and walked through the exit door.

I sat there quiet. My whole body felt paralyzed, I couldn't speak or move. A few minutes later I fell asleep again.

Later that day I woke up. A meal was given to me. Soon after I finished up eating, a doctor checked my health. "You are in good condition now. Feel free to go anytime" The doctor said. Without hezitation, I ran to the launching pad with one thing on my mind. How was the ship? Slowly I looked around the building, without a single sign of my ship. "Scrapped, probaly..." Then, a flash of light appeared! My eyes got blind for a few seconds. Slowly I opened my eyes again and I was staggered from the sight! My ship was repaired and I saw new guns on it. After some further investigation its shield and powercore were uppgraded along with other equipment. No words could express my joy.

Then, one thing struck me. How will I ever be able to pay back, the bill must be sky high for all this. Once again Drake Thastus appeared along with his personal guard. "As you can see I have done some improvements for your ship. All free of charge." And he smiled. Without sounding too hysterical I thanked him. Even this time he left without notice. He asked nothing in return, and only told me to look after myself.

Immidetly I started thinking of my fathers letter again. If I was never chased, never shotted down, I wouldn't get all this.
"Hah! The old fool was right afterall."

I wanted to repay Drake, and the HellFire Legion for their generosity. I decided to serve the Lane Hackers. Until the day came where I, Azumi Hirake, felt my deeds were enough...
