I was once a mighty adventurer.
I went everywhere.
Killing Dragons.
Killing Dremora.

Then one day I took an arrow to the knee.
It hurt so much I did not think I’d ever walk again.
I was so happy when I recovered.

I decided I wanted to be a guard.
Whenever an adventurer comes near,
I’ll tell them the tale,
of how I took an arrow to the knee.
