Z'shal continued walking south, following the road at first and the river soon after. He remembered the first time he'd walked around there, just after he'd arrived in Skyrim and joined the other Khajiit.

Z'shal was asked how he arrived, and he claimed that he walked the whole way, though he actually rode quite the few carriages. He remembered well the look on his fellow Khajiits' faces when he demonstrated the power of his potions on a nearby rabbit.

Z'shal was brought back to reality by the low growl of a wolf. Before long, two others were at its side. Z'shal unsheathed his sword, purposely scraping the glass along the sheath in the hopes that the loud noise would discourage the beasts.

It did not, and a wolf leapt at the Khajiit. However, Z'shal was no prey, and the wolf quickly found a sword through its head. The paralysis poison took effect first, and the wolf's flailing was quickly halted by the venom flowing through its veins. Death followed quickly as, while the sword had missed the brain, a stab to the head is still often fatal.

The other wolves, however, were still unitimidated, and both leapt at Z'shal at the same time. Knowing that he couldn't stab them both at the same time, and that poison delivery was difficult with a slash, Z'shal merely stepped out of the way and let the wolves fall beside him, one atop the other. They soon shared their clanmate's fate, as Z'shal's sword reached the ground through two wolf corpses.

A couple of minutes later, Z'shal's sword was again clean and in his sheath, and he arrived in Riverwood. After a quick stop at the inn for an apple, Z'shal was on his way again.

Now following the road rather than the river, Z'shal set out again for Falkreath. After another hour of walking, he reached Helgen. He recalled the day it was destroyed by dragons, the first day of the Dragon Crisis.

After walking to the other side of Helgen, taking care to stay as far as possible due to the bandits that were rumored to make their home there, Z'shal continued his walk.

Shortly after, he saw a group of Legionnaires in what appeared to be a recently placed camp, watching the Aldmeri Dominion guards in the city of Falkreath, now somewhat visible through the trees.

Z'shal kept walking, hoping that the Legion soldiers wouldn't pay him any mind.
