"Ahhh Telina my child! So Azura speaks to you as well?..my my....Sheīs a demanding, yet encouraging goddess you know..you better just do as she says!"

regards Serene"



Nice Tellie!.....but now youīre in Sadrith Mora among all those creepy Telvannis....hmmm better think twice if you are thinking of joining them!

Anywho...great update....


note to self: uppdate story!

It's good to see the legion and the locals showing their strong dislike for each other. I always thought it was quite amazing that the Telvanni would put up with a legion fort in Sadrith Mora; you've provided a possible explanation: the Telvanni enjoy teasing the legion and creating problems for them. The one thing that never seemed real about Morrowind was how guards in every city knew instantly of crimes you had committed elsewhere; it's not like Telina was a well-known individual before breaking out of jail. I'm curious to see how the Telvanni deal with her, and what they think of the price on her head.

Keep up the great work. Try not to turn the legion into goo; they do have their uses after all laugh.gif
Tellie
Hi, I was wondering, if there are anyone good at drawing or animation, wants to try to draw/make an animation, of Telina. If you do just post the answer here, and I'll PM you with a description of how she looks, I hope someone are interrested as I cant draw anything liker that. Looking forward for comments and answers.



The guard turned on me and looked on me with a very puzzled look in his deep
eyes.

-"So, did you kill an imperial legioneer, and in that case why"?

-"Well, yes I did kill one, I broke into someones house and stole some diamonds, so that a child could treat for her mothers treatmen on the hospital, but was cought and arrested, in jail the guards were bullying me and looking down on me propably beacuse I am a woman, so I killed the guard with a spell and got out of there". ( sorry for the long sentence here).

-"Ahh then it is alright" the guard said, " I shall escort you to the council hall and there you will join our house, that is all I'm asking from you".

-"But what of the punishment, I thought I was about to get arrested".

-"Yes well, first I dont care what you did in Balmaroa, as that is the Hlaalu's problem and not mine, and on the other side, this is going to stir it up real good in the legion, they might even go as far as attacking us, and then we'll have a couple of surprises for them".

Smirking widely the guard took my arm and started to move me towards the city. Suddenly I looked what cind of city this was, it consisted of houses made of giant mushrooms, and in the middle stood a tower so big that I couldnt see the top of it.

After some few astonishing fast minutes, I stood before an eacually impressive building with a sign named "Telvanni Council Hall".As I looked back to say goodbye to the guard, he was gone, and I therefore stepped into the hall.

I looked around me, the inside of the walls was as impressive as the outside,and something that got a place in mhy heart was all the circular passages and doors, and as I stepped forwards towards the door in front of me, a woman adressed me.

-"He-he-hello, i a-am, a h-hi-hireling of hou-house -T-T-Telvanni", she managed to stubber.

-"Pleased to meet you" I said, and then I just ignored her, and walked into the main room, where the council was.

I was met by an awesome sight, the room was a round room, with large crystals coming up from the middle, and on large platforms that stood against the walls, stood the councillors, I presumed.

I walked over to the closest one of them , a female with red hair, and a wery elegant skirt, that changed colours every second.

-"Hello, my name is Telina Delvanni, and I wish to join the house, are you one of the councillors"?

-"Hmmm, Delvanni is it, you wouldnt be the descendant of the old Telvanni master Salendil, would you", she answered back.

-"No, i dont know who my parents wore", I muttered low, more to myself than anyone else.

-"Well, you seem good enough, I am not a master, they are to busy to stand around ordering people, no we in here are the mouths, we speak for our masters and give other members assignments and advancement, do you wish to hear our rules"?

-"Yes, tell me the rules".

-"First if you steal from another member, and live to tell the tale, yuo are obviously more worthy to have that which you took, if you kill another member we are propably not going to care, as that would prove you were the better one, as always you can get expelled here as in every other faction, but most Telvanni will just amend you and get you into the house againg, does this appeal to you"?

-"Yes, do you have any assignements for me"?

-"You are hereby Telina Delvanni, hireling of house Telvanni, I am Felissa Ulessen, the mouth of mistress Therana, but you wanted chores"."Well, I need this skirt to be delivered to my mistress in person, so take this skirt to my mistress in Tel-Branora, and by the way, take these two almsivi-intervention-scrolls, as dhe can get a little off...sometimes".

I walked out of the hall again, and started to walk downwards to the docks, when I heard screams, from down the fort, and I quickly went to investigate. When I got there, I saw the imperial legioneers, shouting at eachother, and in the end ran towards the Telvanni guards, with weapons raised high.

Suddenly the telvanni guards threw spells at the imperials, and each of the legioneers, was floating in the air. Piece by piece, they started tho pick of their armour and clothes to the great saitsfaction of the people who were gathered around the guards.

I quickly turned around, and bolted as fast I could towards the dock, while trying not to fall over by the sheer amusement of seing the race whoe had made three years of my life a living hell, being bullied like that, without having a single chance to retaliate.

Well over at the docks, I was greeted by a friendly mer.

-"Good morning, mutshera, what may I do for you"?

-"A boat trip to Tel-Branora please".
mplantinga
I was very amused by the approach taken by the Telvanni guards. Serves the legion right for trying to take on the Telvanni. It does make you wonder how the legion ever managed to fight armies with mages; certainly they must have some way to combat the magic?

Thanks for another great installment. I'm looking forward to seeing how Telina deals with Therana. That episode can be quite entertaining.
Tellie
As I stood on the deck, I watched the water below me, and suddenly I saw something, and shouted to the boutsman.

-"Stop, I saw something there".

-"What did you se", he asked in a scared voice.

-"It was something strange, a light under the water, I am going down, and if I'm not back in an hour, just go back".

I then jumped into the water, and took a deep breath. below, I could see a crack in the rocks below me, and it was getting increasingly bigger, as it swallowed more water into it.

Suddenly I was caught in its grip, and was dragged into it. As I fell trough the crack, I could see lava below me, and with the best of luck, I managed to get grip on a little platform. I hauled myself up on it, and the sight of the inside made my heart freeze and cold swet was running down my back.

This was a daedric ruin, and the writings on the pillars, clearly shoved a sign of this place guarding something important. and with a look into the middle of the room, I saw a chestfloating in the air, with a clear enchantment on it.

I downed one of my precious levitate potions and walked towards it. As I stod on the flor surrounding the lava pool with the chest around it, I was thinking, of how i could get the chest open without killing myself on the obvious trap.

The answers came in two spells, first an opening spell, ant then telekinesis.

I shouted the words -"Ondoushi shavgytr", and the lock splitted out of the chest, and then the difficoult part, -"Shagrittshiopku vhnelasd", I felt the chest, and I shouted the words over and over again, commanding the chest to open itself.

Finally it open, and seconds later it was blown into a million pieces of wooden shrapnel. I cought the sight of a hammer, shining white and enchanted, fall into the lava. There it laid, slowly starting to sink, and before I knev it, I gripped it with my left hand and picked it up.

I screamed as the lava still on it scorched my hand, and I dropped it to the floor.

-"Momento friskus" I shouted, I felt into the burnt hand, feeling the damage, and I repeaded the words untill my wound was fixed, after that, a fireball flew past me, and I looked into the fiery eyes of a flame atronach, its eyes showing an eternity full of hatred towards the other non-deadra races.

I dropped as another flew past, and then downed my last levitate potion, picked up the hammer, and walked straight up through the water, and I collapsed upon the ship deck.

some time later i woke up with the smell of salt water, and I ran over to the railing, and emtied my entire lunch, an hour later, I was still quite nouseaus, but a little glas of flin helped much. I studied the hammer, and before an hour I still couldnt believe it, it was actually the real famous "Skull Chrusher", and the enchantments, made me fell lighter and my skills, with hammer was better, then with any other weapons sake for knives and daggers.

-"Now, mutshera you must get off, as this is Tel-Branora.
mplantinga
An unusual way to find Skullcrusher. I'm curious why Telina didn't simply levitate Skullcrusher out of the lave; surely it would have been less painful than grabbing it. I'm glad to see that she got out alright; now all she has to do is survive Therana.
minque
Ah Telina! you courageous woman! you have the guts to join those lunatics who call themselves Telvanni.....Oh my....

Now Therana is waiting for you......hmm maybe she isnīt as mad as they say?

Nevertheless.....a good update.......so can I have some more please?
Tellie
Sure Minkey, you and all others can have some more, but not before tomorrow night( my time ) sad.gif .

I have had some fever the last days, thats why I havent posted, but I'm back in buisness ( I just have to find my USP, now where did I put that huh.gif ohmy.gif ).

So check in tomorrow, my time, and you shall see( hopefully biggrin.gif ) a new update.
mplantinga
Glad to see you back and feeling better. I've been fighting a virus of some sort this week as well; I guess that happens at this time of year. I'll be looking forward to your update.
Tellie
As promised, by the way have anyone checked out Geonox's new forum, if not do that, it is really good, but now the story, and I'm happily awaiting any replies.




I was greatly dissapointed, by the way Tel-branora looked, it was only a few wooden shacks, and a little dock. Suddenly i saw a a big feature coming into the sky, adn I quickly realised thet I had to move on, as I came over the hill, I was again impressed by the telvanni nature.

Standing tall in the sunrise, stood the tower of Tel-Branora, and it quickly got a place in my heart. As I walked closer to it, I saw a couple of mer's standing fully dressed in battle gear as they were ready to attak someone. Smiling curtiously to them I walked onto the walkway that led to the tower.

At my left side was the house off a trader named Zurin, and I walked in.

-"Hello, Dunmer, what may I do for you"? the man asked me.

-"Oh hello, i saw the sign and it stood magic school, am I correct"?

-"Yes, you are correct, but untill i get back my wizard staff, I shall not teach anyone". "Wait, you look like the one I'm looking for, If you manage to get my staff back from Theranas servant Mandil, I shall teach you for free, and also allow you to by a special book from me".

I acsepted at once and headed out on the street again. When I came to the top I had to stop a little to catch my breat, and while I stood there I was breathtaken by the beautifullness of the sea, it's small waves, and shiny surface.

I managed to pull myself back together, and walked into the tower itself. There I was met by an angry looking mer, and I was soon right about him.

-"What are you doing here outlander" he asked, with a icy voice.

-"I'm going to see your mistress, servant" I snapped back.

He undressed my with his eyes, measuring me up and down untill he answerd me back.

-"Know this N-wha, I Mandil am Theranas most trusted servant, and if you do anything to her, i shall feed you to her pets, now get out off my sight".

I walked further into the tower, and when I found out that I needed to levitate up to her, I was first angry, butafter a little what and if's, i bought a few levitate potions. I levitated up, and finally found her...

She stood beside a fire, with books in it, and I thought that she obviously didn't like books, besides her stood a little kahjiit, and song a low song about her homecountry, but tit was a more different accent , that I had learned so I did not understand all off it.

Therana hersalf was ....strange, she had a childish look in her face, but the eyes was filled with such an aura off power that it was electrofying.

-"Hello, are you here to feed the spiders my little friend"? she asked with a childish voice.

-"Spiders, what spiders"i asked patiently.

-"You know those with furry tails, complete with ash-jam ears".

She had to be mad I thought, and aking her directly about the skirt could end up entierly wrong, so I decided to take a few jokes firs as childs loved jokes.

-"My mistress", I said in a humble voice "Do you know why the Redorans only have round houses"?

-"Ohh no, are you making jokes, I love jokes,please tell me the answer".

-"Well, the Redorans have round houses, so that the guars cant piss on the corners", it was a pretty lame joke after my opinion, but Therana screamed out with a laugh I only knew to well, the laugh off a child who amuses herself to the limit.

After some twenty minutes with jokes, Therana had tears in her eyes, and I quickly mentioned the skirt.

-"Oh I shall waer it straight away, as soon you prove it is not cursed, take it on you", she said the last words in a tone so dark and scary that I knew something was wrong now.

I took it into my hand, and thought a moment, and then it came into my mind, Mandil.

-"Mistress therana, you see I hold it, so can you just hold this for me a little bit, and I shall go and get your present".

-"Whohoo, a present, go and get it at once", she said in and excited voice.

I ran back down to the entrance hall, and soon found Mandil.

-"Excuse me, ser mandil", I said in an extremly humble voice.
-"Therana wish that you acompany me to her at once".

And after some thinking he came with me, when we came back up, therana looked upon us with a strange look in her eyes.

-"Misstress Therana", I adressed her, "here is Mandil as required of you, now are you going to give him his present now"? I just hoped her own stupidity would work to my advantage.

-"What present", she asked in a surprised voice.

-"you know the fine skirt you wanted him to have, and always wear in front off you, since he gave you such a great breakfast last year", i asked nearly falling over in amusement, as I saw my plan would work.

-"Ohh yes thanks for reminding me about that" she answered in a varmly tone.
-"Now Mandil take it now, NOW MANDIL" she screamed, as he just stood there.

He took it on him and I could see the fear emnating from his spine,and cold-swet was running from his face. He turned around some times, and started to walk away.

-"HOW DARE YOU TAKE MY SKIRT" she screamed, just as she extended a hand towards Mandil.

His look of shock, was the last thing I saw before his ribcage opned up, and sprayed the entire surroundings with blood that I just managed to avoid.

I Walked over the area covered in blood, gore and bone splinters, barely resisting to vomit again, I found Mandils room after a few minutes, and then I left the tower with Zurin's staff, I found his door, in the darkness that surrounded me in the night, knocked and walked in.
minque
Eeeewwww......that was a good read! Telina is a lil smartie huh? Cheating Mandil to wear the skirt hehe....

Good thing you didnīt let anything happen to the khajiit........awwww I love kitties...

Anyway itīs good to see this story continue....keep it up Tellie! goodjob.gif cake.gif
Tellie
It's coming more tonight, I guess in about 5hours from now(21.30, my time.)
mplantinga
A unique and amusing solution to the "Therana problem." I'm looking forward to the upcoming "magic lessons."
Tellie
Oki, I know, that I wasn't able to post, like I said I would, a little bit earlyer, as RL ( thanks planty for ttelling me what that means) has required all of my spare time to studies, but now the time is close.

Today, I PROMISE to post another one.
Tellie
As promised.

Zurin, was sitting on the chair by the table, with his eyes closed.

-"Well, Telina, what I will show you is not much, as my time is nearly out, here". "The staff is not for me, it is yours, and it shall become a symbol of your authority, the staff is not only a wizards staff, it is the staff of magnus".

-"Before we start, I shall only teach you of one of the three elements, spark, frost or fire wich one do you choose"?

-"I choose spark", I said, eager to learn.

He instructed me in the first of his spell, Boethia's judgment, it took me two hours to master the spell, and I was only given five minutes, to relx before we went on to the next one, called Forked lightning of Tzheentch, and the last spell, the Comet of Kassondra took me over four hours, totally spent I walked up into the guest room inthe second floor and jumped into a comfortable bed.

A little while later, I heard the sound of someone chrashing into the dining table, and I realised what was going on. without a sound, I took up the Skullchrusher, and hid myself up in one of the beams supporting the roof.

A little minute later, three shapes of someone standing under me, stopped and I quickly dropped myself to the floor, chrishing the skull of one of the obvious assasins as i fell.

The two others turned around, to face me, but I was aleredy gone, behind the closet.

-"Quickly, split up, the Night-Mother will kill us if we dont kill Delvanni", one of them said.

And after a little while, one started to walk down the stairs. I sprung out, and smashed the skull chrusher down on the head of one of them, and hid myself again. By the time the last assasin came to his fellow assasin, he was aleredy dead, his head smashed of by the chrusher.

-"I do not believe it" I said to myself, "I waws one of the best in the brotherhood, and now they try to kill me, it's outrageous".

And then I was struck with a terrible thought, Zurin was downstairs, had the assasins killed him? I ran down the stairs, and made sure that I stepped on the assasins, while I was on the way. In Zurins bedroom, I found him on the floor, with blood gushing out of his wounds.

-"Telina" he asid in a weak voice, "there was nothing more that I could teach you, in the chest by the bed, lies a book, named "the Book of forgotten magic", and another book named " Lieber Mortis". "None of the books, will open themselves to you, before you have proven yourselves". "now go, save the people from the curse, that befest us, and prove yourselves for the book's".

And then his eyes, closed and Zurin was gone from the world.

-"NOOOO", I screamed as tears, flowed out of my eyes, I cryed over the man, he had shoved me something no other had shoved me, love. He had cared of me like a friend, and helped me with his council, and now the brotherhood had killed him.

I heard lightning bolts, more powerfull than any other I had heard, and the sky was illuminated by the flashes, that raced across the sky, almost like the lightnings was screaming with anger and pain, in symphony with myself.

I then left the old mer, and walked back to the assasins, and lifted up their right sleves, I saw the tatto of the Dark Brotherhood, clear as light on their wrist, and my heart filled itselves with hatred to powerfull to understand. Butn then again i felt attached to the armour, that I myself had used before, so I took all the armour parts, of the shortest one of them, sake for the helmet and put it on. And after taking a simple black robe over me, and the staff of Magnus in my hand, I walked into the stormy night.

Out there,I walked over to the boatsman, and ordered a trip to Sadrith-Mora. While on the boat, I first examined the staff of magnus, enjoing its strong power, that filled my own powers up as well. After that I looked at the outside of the books, which appeared to be ancient, and the spell on themmade it clear, that the book would not open before it found the carrier of it worthy, with that I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I felt amazingly better in shape, and my sack did not seem so heavy anymore, and as I looked at it, i also found out that my spells, was easyer to cast. After some thirty minutes, I stood on the dock of Sadrith-Mora. and I walked directly to the council-hall, smirking as I saw some of the earlier legioneers, standing naked in the slave cages.

In the council hall, I was greeted by Felissa Ulessen.
-"Well, Delvanni, did you succeed, in yor mission"? "Wait, is that staff, is that staff the staff of Magnus"?

-"Yes, it is "the staff of Magnus", now will I get any advancement for this?

-"S-su-sure, I mean getting "the staff of Magnus", thats l-l-legendary, I name thee Telina Delvanni Oathman of house Telvanni, now do you know how to use Mark and Recall"?

-"No, can you teach me"? I answerd back in a humble tone.

She taugth me how to use the spell, and after that, I went over to another mouth.


I'm sorry for this immensly long post, but i needed to clear up the things, hope you enjoyed it. Replyes is welcome as always.
mplantinga
Very interesting. An unusual idea to give a young mage the Staff of Magnus; used properly it can be a pretty powerful thing. Telina's skills continue to amaze me; taking out three assassins without much effort is certainly a very impressive feat. I am curious about what happened to Zurin; are we to assume he was the assassins' only successful target that night?
Tellie
I have now edited the rest of the post, that was supposed to come out yesterday, in the post above. Enjoy.
mplantinga
I had assumed that Zurin was probably going to die, but it was still sad to read it and know it for sure. I will look forward to seeing Telina put his teachings to good use. Intriguing that the staff of magnus was so quickly recognized; it must truly be legendary.
Tellie
This one I dedicate for Planty, may he heal well. So I hope you like it.

*Offers a toast for planty*



I walked on in the council hall, and stopped before the mouth Arara Uvalas, the mouth of master Neloth.

-"Hello, mutshera, I see that you're progressing, I do have two chores that I would like to have done, are you interested"?

-"Yes, I'm very interested, what are they"?

-"Well, master Neloth wants five sload soaps, and the staff of silver dawn".
"The staff I think you will find in the hands of one of the mages guild members at Wolverine Hall, the soap you should be able to buy from the apothecary Anis Seloth". He then gave me a bag with eighty ten-septim coins, with my ensurances that I would deliver the remaining moneys to him.

With that I took my leave, and as opned the door quickly in my entuhsiasm, it hit somone, and I heard loud swearing from outside the door.

-"D*** be that person who did this". He looked at me and realised that I had pushed the door at him.

-"Do you know what you just did...SCUM", he said, vith a voice that got increasingly louder.

-"Ohh yes, I pushed the door into a stupid idiot, who instead of opening the door stood outside it, and obviously waiting for it to opening itself".

-"Do you know who you're talking to, B*** "

-"There is no need for that language, so call me that again, and you shall regret it".

-"I'm the Arch Magiter of the house, and threaten me again, and I shall personally cut off you, uurrrhg"

I had with the speed of a lightning, pushed the staff of Magnus, up aganst his throat and pushed him up to the wall, while I was slowly choking him. In my hand that I held inches from his face, a big sphere of highly electric lightning, was getting increasingly bigger.

-"Don't ever threaten me again, or I shall not be as forgiving as I'm now".

With that I walked out of the council hall. The weather outsidefitted my mood at the moment, gray and rainy. The happiness of getting advanced was lost, and inside me I had a cold feeling, that messing with the Arch Magister would sooner or later have it's concequenses. I was walking down the street,and I barely notice that the people of Sadrith-Mora was more friendly with me now, some even called me Ser-Delvanni or Miss-Telina, and after a few minutes, I entered the apothecary of Anis Seloth.

-"Greetings, outlander, I think I've heard of you before, now was there anything you wanted from my shop"?

-"Yes, I want five portions of sload soap, for master Neloth", I added.

-"Oh it's for, Neloth, in that case, you shall get the new discount system we have, anything bought for a master, you get for half price, if you can prove it".

My luck, had to be with me, first the soap, wouldnt cost more that two-hundred septims, before the discount and the fact that I had a letter with me, saying that master Neloth wished five portions of sload soap.

I gave her the letter, and and after a little discussion, I walked out of the shop, with five soaps bought for less than a hundred-septims, a real bargain.

I enclosed upon the fort in wolverine hall, and was fo a little while surprised by the lack of guards, before I remembered the fact that the guards couldn't possibly be replaced within three days, and the old ones was still in the slave market. With a big grin I entered the imperial cult, for then getting into the Mages-guild.

-"What are you doing here...Telvanni"? one of them asked in a voice that clearly dripped with intimidation.

-"I'm looking for the staff of silver dawn", I answered back, with a tone that was no better than that which had adressed me.

-"I have the staff, but there is no way that I'm going to part myself with it", she then extended her hand, which shoved that she wanted money for it.

I took up first five ten-septim coins, and then another five, followed by fiteen. At that point she nearly threw it at me.

-"Here, It's not that great a loss", and then she went back to her studies.

I walked back to the council hall, nodding to some of the guards as I went, there in the council hall, I delivered the items to Arara.

-"Fine,now where is the rest of the money"?

-"Spent", I said, barely managing to hold away a big grin.

-"Spent, do you say that you spent eight-hundred-septims, on five soaps and a staff"?

-"Yes, the soap was cheap, but the staff was more difficoult, first I had to bribe two persons to actually tell me who had the staff, and then I had to convience the woman who had it, to seperate herself from it".

-"Well, I guess that would cost a bit yes, now would you want me to teach how to use Mark and recall, and also how to blind your enemies"?

We spent a tme together, untill I had learned the spell, and as revard I was gifted by a glass dagger, and three-hundred septims.

-"Well, arent I going to get some advancement for this"?

-"Oh yes, I advance you to become a lawman of house Telvanni, but you cant advance further, if you dont get a patron to support you further".

I then took my leave, and asked the mouth of master Aryon, Galos Mathendis, if I could have Aryon as my patron.

-"Yes, I believe so, it would give me time to finish my studies, he lives in the tower of Te-Vos, outside of the city Vos, go now I shall send word of your arrival".


I walked back into the pouring rain, and ordered a boat trip to Vos.



So, that was all for tonight, but i shall post another update on Sunday( If I get some replyes that is) or Saturday, so hope you liked it. And again Planty, good luck at surgery, I shall miss you. Replies are welcome as always.
Elidor
Ah how i loved doing the Telvanni quests. Some very intuitive ideas for dealing with them gj!:goodjob:
Tellie
After i arrived in vos, i had to ask one of the local guards where master Aryon resided.

-"His tower is on the top of that hill, mutshera".

i then started to trudge up the long steep hill, and I noticed that I had a lot of training in front of me, before I came back in shape. At last i reached the top, and was completely breathtaken. Up on the hill stood sometyhing that looked like a crossing between an imperial fort and a telvanni tower.

After a few minutes, I pulled myself together, and instead started to wonder how I could get up to him, without spending one of my preciouss potions. But after a minute, I took a carefully measured gulp of one of the potions, and walked up to the doorway, and entered.

I quickly found Aryon, he stood in the middle of his room, and greeted me with his arms open, but there was something about his smile, that worried me.

-"Ahh Telina, welcome". "I am, as you propably know Master Aryon, now I know you are searching for someone to be your patron, if you do a little job for me, I shall be your patron in the house".

-"Here is what you must do, in the town of Gnisis, there is a tower named Arvs-Drelen, in that tower is an ancient telvanni wizard, named Baladas, I want you to travel over there and convience him to join the telvanni council".

-"Yes, Master Aryon, I shall do so at once", with that I took my leave, and took a boat down to Sadrith-Mora, as I knew the fastest way, would be the guild travel. In there I was met by the same coldness as before, and without further complaints, I travelled to Ald-Rhuun.

I walked through the guild, there, and heard some of the mages utter traitor so low, that I barely heard it. And then I bumped into the same woman who had so happily asked if I wanted to buy some Woid-walk spells, that kindness was now gone, but I did not care.

-"Hello, you still sell Woid-walk spells, right".

-"Yes, I still do", she implied with a little softer voice now.

-"So,how much will it cost for five"?

-"Five, that would be four thousand, septims".

"Hey, members get half price, right, you told me so, therefore, I should only pay two thousand septims". I started to take out septims from my pouch, while the woman looked like she had swallowed an entire mudcrab.

-"Ohh, right then", she screamed at me, " two-thousand septims, what locations, do you want"?

-"Lets see", I said to myself," i want one to Sadrith-Mora, one to Gnisis, one to Vos, one to Balmora and one to Ebonheart", I told her, and after some three hours, i was sure i knew the spells, in my head, so I tried out the one to Gnisis.

-"Jiksgarrup gsaba", It was a bright light, and suddenly i stood in the middle of Gnisis. I was still quite sick, when I entered Arvs-Drele, and I just managed to hold myself for vomiting.

After I had opned the first door, i was met by a huge rat, that ran straigt towards me. I quickly struck after it with the staff, and it exploded into a pool of blood and gore. I was looking at the staff with total awe, did it really have so much power in it, it was hard to understand.

When I came to a door after a long corridor, I tried to open it, but it was locked, and trapped, so I used the same tacktic as befor, and I used telekinesis on the door, while I stood further down the hall. When the door opned, a huge fireball, came out from it, and incinerated everything that stood ther, so now I could see into the wery rock features of the ground.

I opned walked through the door, and stopped, totally paralysed by the sight of the creature in front of me. There it stood....a huge deadroth, but it didn't do anything with me, it just stood there. With no small measure of fear, I walked past it, and at the top, I found Baladas.

He was.......mysterious, if I'm gonna use a word for him. He stood there in a manner that showed nothing but extreme power, and his eyes, his eyes had a mysterious look, that shoved centuries of wisdom,. All I could do was to stare, before I managed to speak.

-"B-Baladas", I asked.

-"Yes, outlander, I am Baladas Demnvanni, I have lived here for the last three-and-a-half-thousand years, now you better have a VERY good reason to be here", he said the last words, in such a commanding voice, that it was painfull to hear.

-"I'm sent here by Master Aryon, to ask you to join the telvanni council".
I waited in exitement for his answer.

-"Right, Telina isnt it"?

-"Ye, hey how do you know my name", I asked in an agitated voice, enierly forgetting who I was talking to.

-"Ohh, I recognise those eyes anywhere ". "Your eyes, have the same astonishing effect of power, as your grandfather, Selendil Delvanni, he was an ancient telvanni wizard". "Now i knew he had a child but never found out who, all he told me before he died, for some years ago, was that his grandchild had survived an assasination, his own child and her wife had died though".

I was completly lost, so my grandfather was the ancient Salendil after all, I could not believe it, my grandfather was acctually one of the most powerfull wizards ever, it was unbelievable. The voice of Baladas broke through my thoughts again though.

-"I shall join the council for the next three centuries, but only if you do some chores for me, now go and get to bed, you're welcome to borrow mine, as you have a great day before you tomorrow, as for myself I will spend the night studying".

I went into his bed, and realised that I was dead tired, and without even undressing, I fell down ito the soft pillows, and was lost in the world of dreams.

Nice, an update so soon again, I like this different viewpoint of the game. Is quite refreshing goodjob.gif

I was really great to learn a little about Telina's family history; I wonder how Telina will be able to use that information.

About the chapter as a whole: amazing, creative, and amusing. Keep up the great work.
Tellie

mplantinga

Hi, more will come later this night, all I wanted to ask is do anyone of you want some screenies, as I do have some, now all I have to do is to find out how to manage to post screenies ohmy.gif .

Please tell me if you want screenies, and what kind of screenies, as I have quite few(but not all I'm sorry). Ill post them in the next post.
mplantinga
Screenies! Please give us screenies! Action screenies are good: casting spells, swinging weapons, or staring down at a suddenly lifeless corpse. Scenery can be good too.

I walked closer, standing up agains the wall, making no sound. To my left stood Haldin, my secret love, and to my right stood a new assassin, who was upposed to be trained up. We snuck over the wall, pressing ourselves down so that the guards wouldnt see us.

The guards passed, and we were ready to move on. "Haldin, what do you think"?I asked.

-"Well, I think you should go the difficoult way, up the tower, while I take this young rookie, with me so that he will learn some things".

Nodding, I slipped myself down into the courtyard, and ran over to the wall of the house, and jumped in between some crates, just as the guard passed me again. I started to climb up the wall, finding grip in the fine cavings of the walls. I climbed with the agileness of a cat, swift and no sounds.

I was half way up when I saw into the window, behind the curtain, the happy couple went to bed, and I sneaked into the room. I easily slit the throat of the guard in the room, and I then took out a lethally poisonous serpent, and slipped it into the bed.

I then opened the door, and stealthly made my way out, Suddenly I notice the shadows, of three guards coming up the staircase, with two prisoners. One of them were the new rookie, and the other one was my belowed Haldin, and from the sound of it, the rookie had revealed them both to the guards.

I took up three throwing daggers, and a rapid series of throws later, and the guards lay on the floor with a dagger each in their hearts.

-"Haldin get out of here, I'll handle the rest".

Following my advice, he and the newe assassin moved back out. I then walked further into the castle, and soon found the room I was searching from. The sole guard was easily despatched, and I made my way into the room.

I stood over the bed, with my wakasashi, held up high, downward pointing for maximum stabbing potential. Just as I drove the lethal blade down, the person in the bed moved, and the blanket over it, fell down, revealing a small child no more than five years old. The blade descended into its chest, and I felt the warm spray of blood against my face.....


-"Noo, I screamed", as I woke up, I had been wakened one time before by that old memory, where I murdered a little child while it was asleep.

-"Telina, are you alright, did something happen"? the voice of Baladas, said to me.

-"No, it-it was just a bad dream", I told him.

-"Well, since it's morning, you eat your breakfast, and I'll tell you what you have to do after it".

I sat up, and then walked slowly towards the table, and sat down, and looked down at the food standing on the plate before me. Fried ash-jam, with cooked cwama-egg's, and when I was finished with that, I was given a big piece of guar-beef, and a loaf of bread.

-"Nmm, it was delicious, Baladas, where did you learn to make food like that"?

-"Oh, thank you Telina, I have never made food like that before, I just summoned it forth".
"But now, I want you to go get me a couple of books that I need for my studies".
"The books I need, are Nchunak's fire and faith, anteccendants of the dwemer law, and the Cronicles of Nchuleft, are you willing to go get those books, for me"?

I accepted, and walked over to the silt strider, there I suddenly realised that I did not need to travel anywhere with that at the moment, so I decided to try another of my new spells.

-"Jiksgarrup Blmarna", I was instantly travveled over to Balmora, and found myself standing otside the temple. I asked the closest guard, with an extremely overdone tone of humbleness ( I did not know if they had forgotten my little thievery earlier ), where the closets bookshop where.

-"Oh, it is just down the street opposite the figthers guild, outlander", he answered back in a directly venomous tone, that shoved me that he had not forgotten a single thing.


Ok, thats all for today, and next post you'll get some screenies(hopefully, as I dont know how to put them in embarrased.gif , yet).Hope you liked getting a small look of how Telina was, before she came away from the brotherhood. AS alway replies are most welcome.

PS: Good luck at surgery planty.
mplantinga
I wondered why that first part was in a different font; at least until it became quite clear it was a memory. A glimpse into the past always enhances the depth of a character, and this was no exception. It seems Telina was quite skilled as an assassin; I wonder how much of that skill we will see put to use.

Thanks for another great update.
minque
You are gifted Tellie! great update as usual!
And we surely want screenies!
The easiest way to show them is to host them on a free host like photobucket or imageschack. Then when you have done that you just post the link to the pictures here! using the button marked http//.

Make sure the settings in your image-host allow others to look at them!

me I use photobucket, but some say you may host bigger pics at imageschack. I think itīs a matter of opinion!

If you run intp trouble pm me ad Iīll show you! (now Iīll be away wednesday-friday but after that Iīm available

I found the bookstore, and entered. In there I saw tonnes of books, and I had an extreme urge to just stay there for many hours.

-"May, I help you friend", said the kindly bookeeper.

-"Oh, yes please, I'm looking for three books, the first one is Nchunak's fire and faith, the second is the Anteccendants of the dwemer law, and the last is the Chronicles of Nchuleft, do you have any of these books"?

-"I'm afraid I dont have the two last books you are talking about, but fire and faith, will be yours for two-hundred septims".

I counted up twenty ten-septim coins, and layed them down on the desk. She quickly grabbed them, and gave me the book, for after shoving me out of her store.
-"Hlaalu", I mumbled with an angry tone.

Then I came up with an idea, and after some fiveminutes of thinking, I went to the other side of the town, and walked into the house of Caius Cosades. I was met by the stench of a strong narcotic powder, known as moon-sugar. And on the floor lay Caius, gulping up blood, mixed with vomit.

Without thinking, I laid my hand upon his chest, and felt the inside of him, his heart was on its way of stopping, and the lungs was filled with all manner of highly intoxicating drugs. I felt a small warmt through my hands, and I started to move his heart back and forth in my mind, and slowly his heavy breathing eased, and the heart was beating normally again. The lungs aws a different matter, and the only way possible to rid them of the drugs that was feasting on them, was to boil up the toxic bittergreen-petals, mixed with a small but dangerous snake venom, that I had carried with me, and let him brathe in the poisonous clouds.

He harked, and opned his eyes, and with a small look upon me, he suddenly ran out and vomited the few remains of his earlier food. I walked outside, and looked on him in a stern matter, I could not talk with him in this state, so I grabbed him in the arm, and started to walk over to the other side of town again.

When we stood on the middle of the bridge, I suddenly pushed him with all my force, and he toppled and fell into the river. I saw him fight to get really concious for some few minutes, and then I walked over to his house, and started to clean up the mess. I had just finished cleaning when he came in again, and this time, he was as awake as a free spirit.

-"What was the point of that"? he asked angrily.

-"First, I must ask you of something important, so you couldnt be in that statement, secondly i did it for the sheer amusement", I answered with a big smile across my face.

-"Let me see if I got this straight, you come in my house and ripps me out of my good dreams, then you throw me in the river, and then yoo got the nerve to ask me for a favour", he said with a rising voice.

-"Yep, something like that yes", I said in an extremely irritating tone. "You were on the way of dying, so you owe me your life, all I ask for return, is your help on a little task that heve been given me".

I then explained him about the problem I was facing, and he came up with a brilliant idea. I was given a small phial, with some unknown material for me in it. I was then going to head down to the temple in Vivec, and enter the hall of justice. There I had to find a good hiding place for it, and ignite the fuse, and walk into the office of the watch.

When the fuse had burnt up, a large explosion would erup, and I would plai dead, while the rest of the people in the office ran out, to get away. I would then pick the lock of a trapdoor, and find the temple's secret library and get the books.

I had asked if it was no simpler way, but Caius told me that the bookstore of Jobasha, had burned down, and with it the last books left of those I needed.

I was nearly dripping of cold-swet, and was about to start shaking uncrontrollably when I entered the hall of justice. I faked a stumble, so the guard that was watching me wouldn't get suspicious, of me leaning dow, and I quickly hid the phial on a plant, and used a small on-touch fire spell on the fuse. I then walked into the office of the watch.

-"What are you doing here outlander", asked a man in the same golden armour, that I had seen on the other guards in this marvellous city.

-"I'm going to ask you abou.........BOOOOM!!!!!!!

I did not have to fake a deathe, as I was thrown across the room, and hit one of the shelvees with a sickening chrunch. The people in the room, ran as fast as they could out of the room, and after half a minute two more people came out of the trapdoor.

After hearing the door close, I rose myself up, and walked slowly towards the trap door, and walked down. When I had walked through the second door there, I found the empty library, and after a few minutes, I had found the books I was searching for. I stuffed them in my bag, but just as I was about to walk away, the title of another book caught my eye, on it stood the irresistible title How to become a GOD.....I was greatly atracted to this book, so I took that one as well.

Just as I said the spellthat would take me to Gnisis, the door opned and one of the guards came in. I just hoped that he had'nt got a good look at me, as I walked up the steps to the upper room in Baladas tower.

-"Ahh so good to see you, Telina". "Do you want a cup of tea"?

We sat down by his table, and soon he had explained a great bit about himself and his good frien Aryon. And my eyes filled themselves with tears, as I left the second man in this place, that had acted lice a friend to me.

After arriving in Vos, i nearly sprinted ut the hill towards Tel-Vos, and I realised that my shape was getting increasingly better. I walked into the study room to Master Aryon, only to be met by Master Aryon, who looked extremely happy with himselves, I noticed the three huge chest's filled with gold and diamonds. also in the room stood the master who I guessed was Neloth, and the mer who looked more happy and thriumphant than anyone else was Arch-Magister Gothren.

Edit: sorry, i thought i had pushed the edit button, but aparently i pushed the Add New Reply button. Sorry for double posting.

-"Ahh Telina I have decided that I need not a new mouth, as i can go good with this", Master aryon said, with a small smile in his eyes.

-"I told you, lawman Delvanni, that to cross me was going to be your undoing", said Gothren "so since there are no councillors wiling to take you as their mouth, I'm afraid that you will only be a lawman for the rewst of your life".

i was nearly heartbroken, here stood the mer who had promisedto become my patron, and which Baladas had spoken so greatly off, I was betrayed, and i now felt a small part, of what my earlier victims had felt, when one they thought as a friend betrayed them, and I hated it.

-"No", said a voice from the door, "i shall be her patron". In the door stood Baladas, with a staff that shoved a powerfull enchantment. "Telina Delvanni, I request that you be my mouth in the telvanni council, do you accept"? he asked with a voice that showed big amusement.

-"Yes, my Master, I accept that you become my master and patron in the house", I answered with the greatest effort from keeping me run over and give him a big hug.

He then gave ma a silver-staff-of-peace, to showe my position as a mouth.

-"Come Telina, I have need for you at my house". i took his hand, and we were instantly transported to Arvs-Drelen, and i nearly fell over, with the sight of horror, and dissapointment in the faces of Neloth and Gothren.

That was really amusing......Also Telina makes Baladas her friend! Neat....Serene did the same......Mr Demnevanni is a nice man...deep inside and Iīm happy Telina and Serene both discovered that..not many others have you know! biggrin.gif

So go for it Tellie!

That was truly an amazing installment. I laughed several times, but hardest after the description of Caius and how Tilina treated him. You've done an excellent job of using artistic license to change people and events in a way that brings new life to the story. Thanks for continuing to write for us; I will be looking forward to chapter 2.
