Telina

" I dont know, I just have a feeling that something terrible will happen soon, and that I will not be able to get out of it..."

"And I have a son, he is a few years younger than Brianna, have blue trbal tattooes in his face, and up his arms, his hair is a bit long, the same silvery colour that I have, only it reaches a bit below his ears...he is a member of the imperial cult, he was taken from me, and have grown up in the cult, (he got kidnapped,and was saved by somecult member)".

"So, we need to get moving fast", for the first time, she sounded afraid, knowing that she would never see her son as a grown up.

EDIT: Oh I forgot his name...Telina named him Haldin, in memory of her first love(also the father of her son)

Serene, confused and worried....but a bit flattered as well

While talking to Telina she suddenly noticed the man silently kneeling beside her, offering her some kind of ....gift....she looked from him and Telina then back again

"Sasal.....haven´t seen you for a long time! You seem to have lived well...but really you shouldn´t have...."
She accepted the gift and shook his hand.....she did remember Sasal.....from a time in her life that affected her deeply..

Then she turned back to Telina trying to really grasp what the dunmerii was telling her.....A son....adopted Imperial cult!! Haldin....

"Telina.....I´ll find him..I promise, but I also promise if anyone tries to hurt you....I´ll roast them....slowly!

She had to walk away...too many feelings involved now.


OOC: Got to go to bed.....school´s out for my son tomorrow....hae to attend to the ceremony in church.....without falling asleep!

g´night!

Arygon finished poking at Flint, and decided to bother Rahvin some. "Hey Yellow eyes!" Arygon called as he walked over " Can't stop talking to people you're supposed to have to have killed, eh?" Arygon laughed lowly, "Have a little crush do we?" Arygon's Archon blade randomly slid up and down as he talked, it seemed it was a little too based on his emotions.

MAZE

Maze stared at the young breton... how he attacked random shadows on the ground... "why cant you understand?... I am not invisible.... I am a shadow..." Maze thought mockingly... he then saw how the vampire and another with a metal hand toyed with the young bretons paranoia...

Maze gave out a sadistic smile... he then sent a shadow right past the breton to peak his paranoia...

OOC: By the way minque... Maze is infuse with black magic so anyone trying to read his minds ends up with a very horrible brainfreeze... just letting you know... and that is right... infuse... he is black magic... pure evil black magic...

Cerpin

Cerpin raised an eyebrow. "And?" he asked irritably.

Flint Ironwood, pure paranoid!

Flint wasn't very happy with everyone making fun of him.
,,Look, I know that something is wrong here and we're being watched. So why don't you guys help out instead of trying to be funny?" He grumbled. He then noticed a shadow move out of the corner of his eyes.

,,There you are!" He shouted as he leaped forward and sank his blades in the shadow, only to meet thin air.
,,Damn. When I get out of here, I'm going to replace my dagger with another katana. Its range is just pathetic. Now stop playing with me, where ever you are!"

(Alright, Flint will tag along when everyone leaves. I'll be off to shool till 16.30, so please don't go smack him into the ground till I'm back, ok?)

Telina

"Thanks, but promise me, that if I yell for you and Brianna to run, you will do so...after all you are much more of an important person than I am", she smiled wryly

"And from my contact, he have told me that Haldin is in Dawnstar, so I suggest that we go there".

Telina turned around, tears running down her cheeks, and started to walk out of the town, she turned and yelled, "Come on...if we are to move out, lets do it now".

OOC: Lets get out now, we have wasted much time in this damned town.

Hecate

Hecate followed the situation unfold, having a pleasant time watching them, even thought they could sense his presence. Out from thin air, the female Dunmer appeared with someone else, someone that looked familiar. The woman catched his evil presence fast and turned, he's keen eyes zoomed in on the woman, who was no other than the famous Serene... and she was actually trying to get Hecate to come out. It was time to change the game plan, leaving Brianna up to this... Cerpin man.

He slowly moved out of sight...

Serene, Serene... Oh cunning Serene. I did not expect having you in this filthy town. You're name have been whispered throughout the realm of the assassins, the rewards are nearly as epic as you're stories. Don't expect me coming out yet, we do want some fun don't we? We should meet sometime thought. Don't worry about trying to find my mind orbing around, I'm very sure I'll find you so don't worry you're little head on that..."

With that said... Thought... what ever. He dived of the roof top, a quick and smooth roll and he was up on his feet and ventured into the shadows with a smile on his face.

Guess I'll have to take out my ace for these kind of people...

Arygon laughed, Rahvin WAS differen! "Lets get going before Flint over there goes insane." Arygon spared a glance for him, he was muttering something about katana's. Arygon shook his head sadly. It wasn't good to see someone like that... But Arygon, being a breton, could hear whispers of magic. Of course most of the town knew simple restoration spells and it could be just that...

Cerpin

Cerpin looked at everyone leaving and squeezed Brianna's hand.

"I think we need to get going unless we want to be left behind."

Flint Ironwood, calmed down (finally!)

Flint noticed how everyone left. He circled around for a few more seconds before finally sheating his blades. People now regarded him as the town's idiot, be he didn't care. He'd rather be an idiot than being death. It didn't look like the man was coming out of the shadows, so Flint decided to ignore the whole thing for the moment.

,,Hey, wait for me!" He shouted as he ran after the group.

Serene

"The evil spirit knows of me.....too bad, then I have to lay very low......somehow I´ll smoke him out"

Serene followed Telina, she needed some more information about what´s gonna happen,.....Telina knew that was for sure....



Brianna

"Yes let´s go" Brianna walked beside Cerpin, feeling rather at ease.....secure, as if the evil spirit had let go of her somehow.....She glanced at Cerpin.....he didn´t look very cheerful though........

Telina

Telina, had walked in silence for a bit, before Serene came up to her. Telina suddenly stopped, while aa strong feeling had erupted in her chest.

"This is where it will happen...I cant go further".

"Serene, go move one, I have to stay here...I dont know what will happen to me here, so in case the worst should happen, goodbye, and I'll see you on the other side"...the tears was glistening in her eyes now, and she hate to talk to her like this.

"Take this map, and continue dead north from here, then you will get to Dawnstar, and dome a favour...dontlook back,dont look back", Telina hgged Serene, before she took out her sword, waiting for...something.

OOC: Surely the entire band will look back,and watch Telia get "killed".

Cerpin

He and Brianna caught up with Telina a Serene in time to hear Telina's sobering words.

"Stop being dramatic. Come on, let's go."

Telina

I'm not being dramatic, I'm telling the truth, and you too Brianna, goodbye, you and I will probably never meet eachother here on Tamriel., so take care ok...now get going...all of you", and now her voice was suddenly scary, stern...decided.

Serene

"Telina, I don´t want to leave you......I have a bad feeling about this....really bad, on the other hand, we´ve been through a lot together so I won´t argue with you. If you say you have to stay here...you do have a reason for it..If you say I must go on.....I know you have a reason for that too....Haldin! But remember Telina, I will watch over you.....and if you ever need me...you know what to do and how to find me ok?"

Serene embraced Telina, tears running down her face.......then she turned away and walked away along the road.....not looking back...yet!

Flint Ironwood, tagging along.

They'd been moving for just a short while when they stopped again.
,,Hey, what's the hold up?" He muttered to himself.

After hearing the optimistic explanation, Flint drew his weapons (again.) and faced back the way they came.
,,I hate to spoil the fun for you, but are you sure you want to pull of a solo action? You're not the only one around here who can fight." He said sarcastically. Telina scared him a bit, but he would be damned if he let a little fear control him.


(Feel free to whack him on the head or something. )

Telina

"Thanks Serene, I will contact you if I need help"

She looked down the road, and there, a bit away in the horison was the quiet town of Lainlalten. Her eyes was sweeping over the surroundings, trying to figure out where the "thing" would come from.

Brianna

Brianna reacted to Cerpin´s rather harsh words......

"What´s with him? He didn´t use to be that harsh.....I wonder.......there´s something weird going on here"






Serene

Serene looked at Flint......a bit annoyed

"Would you please be quiet" she said to him "Telina Delvanni knows exactly what she´s doing and it´s not for you to try to teach her anything"

Flint Ironwood, still the same place

Flint glanced at Serene.
,,Wow, she sure is hotheaded. Much different than my mum. Can't say that's a bad thing though. At least she isn't the scared type like my mum was." He thought with a hint of respect.

,,I'm just trying to help, ok? Is that a problem or something?" He said out loud.

Hecate

Hecate swiftly made his way too a small hideout he'd made in Lainlalten, it wasn't easy to find it, through a house, down in the cellar, hidden behind a barrel was a secret entrance to the sewers. Not far away from the secret entrance he had a small hideout. He made his way to his small chest of equipment, equipment which had been passed down by assassins before him...

Wonder if it's even in here...

He opened the lock quickly and looked through, nearly desperate. Digging through lockpicks, daggers, cloaks, all off it nearly legendary items he found what he needed. It was an usefull item he'd actually gotten from his father, a enchanted ring.

Oh yes... Ring of the Mind Wall

The ring's name said it all, simply barricaded his thoughts inside his head. Mindreaders and other telepaths couldn't read his thoughts as long as he wore the ring.

He gently put it in one of his pouches, locked the chest and went out again, he had to keep up with the group.

OOC: Hope that isn't to uber, but it's annoying getting noticed all the time when you're an assassin

Serene

Serene smiled thus a bit coldly at Flint..

"No, there´s nothing wrong with that.....but in this case the best is to leave her alone...."

"I wonder....that evil spirit.....he is here somewhere, but the "signal" is fading....he must be using some wall or blocker....well nevermind, I might be forced to take other actions then"


OOC: Alrighty Fuzz! Your ring seem to work......so far!!

Sasal looked at serene and said" it would be my pleasure to accompany you, m'lady" he said as he donned his armor. trying to hid his blushing face by equiping his armor, he said" That necklace, i found it while clearing out old morunhold with my old ordinator unit" He said feeling confidant that she would be impressed "It was when we cleared out some bandits that were robbing the graves of Helseth's family we found it on a pedistal"

(ooc: just let sasal follow 'serene' around, im going to the doctor again....

Sadril

Sadrl simply walked past Telina, knowing full well what would happen. He put a hand on her shoulder as he passed and said a simple, "Good luck." He continued walking, even though some had stopped, but he called back to Flint, "Flint quit screwing around, these ladies know full well what they are doing."

Veric

"A challenger? So soon? This should get interesting," the Breton smirked as he spoke. Although he was standing on the far outsirts of Lainlalten, he spoke as if he could see what was going on in the group. He began walking slowly towards them, still too far away for anyone to make out. That is, asde from the telepaths; he made no attempt at shielding his mind or hiding his presence as he had been doing up until now.

Flint Ironwood, confused

Flint was not happy with all this. For some stupid reason, everyone seemed to insist on Telina going into a fight all by herself. Unless she turned out to be a master of Destruction who enjoyed covering the landscape in massive fireballs, he doubted she would get out alive. Still, it looked likely that everyone would kill him if he tried to help.

,,Fine, have things your way. Well, good luck." He said, put his weapons away and began moving again.
,,You're going to need all the luck you can get."

Hecate

Hecate re-appeared not far away from where the group was currently standing, they were saying goodbye to the female Dunmer while the rest continued to walk, they were leaving.

Hecate took off his shapeshifting amulet, putting it in his pouch before moving after the group. Keeping his distance, not getting unnecassery close and screw things up...

Rahvin

Turn the hell around! You know what's going to happen, bastarde. he was getting frustrated; especially since seeing some impostor walking around in his body and he couldn't even tell anyone.

I never thought I'd say this, but it would be nice to speak to anyone. Even Sadril!

It was no use though; nothing had changed. He was still trapped inside a secluded corner of Sadril's mind.

Telina

Seeing that the others had left, she took a deep breath, steeling herself.

"Ok you monster, I'm ready for you", she shouted..."I'm alone, but I will not fail to kill you.

OOC:Trying to convience herself.
But I have to go now, so Shogun if you want, you can write the whole fight...just make it look that Telina is making a hell of a stand, and fights good...mkay?

Veric

A silhouette of a man could now be seen in the distance, following the same path the others had followed. Veric was in his usual Breton form and all its glory, but rather than wearing his usual crimson robes, his robes were black laced with a dark purple and elegant, with complex folds and the like. No hood, however. His face was fully exposed for all to see. Of course the only one who would see it was Telina, and she would not live to tell anyone about it.

He could make out the girl clearly now. Standing on the path as if to block his way..

OOC: if i write the whole fight it will be later in another post

Sadril

Sadril sneezed and wiped his nose, "Someone must be talking about me behind my back," he said in a low tone.

Telina

Telina saw the man move closer, she could make out his face now...his yellow eyes.

"Obscure Imparamezi", the powerf of the shock spell, made the trees move, and the air loaded up with static electricity, thunder roared, and lightings shoock the sky, and before the powerful spell hit, Telina was already running towards Veric, Ebony Broadsword ready for a powerful swing.

OOC. The spell, will shake him a bit, but not kill him...nothing that serious.

Veric

Veric put his left hand up as if to absorb the lightning spell. The magick struck his hand, and the force caused his multi-layered robe to flap in the wind from the created shockwave. The spell pushed Veric back a few inches, even as he held his ground against it. "Not bad," he called to the advancing Telina before casting his own spell at her. A fireball, one of moderate magnitude (moderate for Veric that is) just to test her. He also drew his dwarven longsword immediately after, if only for defense; Veric was no swordsman.

Serene and Brianna

Mother and daughter watched in horror the battle of the giant mages......they were stunned, this really was a showdown,...

Telina

Telina who had been running full speed towards Veric, suddenly saw a fireball launched at her..."Bugger", she yelled, as she threw herself to the left. She got up quickly, stepped closer, and smashed her sword down towards Veric.

OOC. When he captures her, make him stab her, so that his sword goes all the way through her..that will make the others think she have died.

Flint Ironwood, running away.

Flint looked back to where they left Telina when he heard all the noise of thunder and stuff. He didn't like what he saw.
,,Damn, she needs help." He thought and his hand had already gripped the handle of his katana when he stopped his motion. This was a battle that would only claim more lives if anyone intervened.

,,Alright, the girl is buying us some time so let's use it as good as we can. RUN!" He shouted and picked up speed.

Rahvin

I love how everyone's just rushing to help. he thought bitterly.

Cerpin

Cerpin had put up his mental barrier to keep Serene out of his thoughts a few moments ago; he needed to think.

With Telina gone, Veric will have already done my job for me. Even after our deal. If he takes another without consulting me, we may have a disagreement.

He looked to Brianna with a worried face. "As much as I hate to say it, I think flint is right."

OOC: k, but this isn't over yet also how would they even see her die? they are running away now

Veric fluidly swung his sword to knock Telina's attack to the side, while sidestepping the opposite direction. It was obvious that he was toying with her to get his fill of fun before he killed her.

This time Veric took a large step back towards her, now that she was in close, and thrust forward with his left hand. Another fire spell, this one on-touch and slightly stronger. He was testing her breaking point.

Arygon watched from the shadows carefully examining the fighting. Who will win?


OOC (after edit): Actually Arygon has no honour at all... he does what he wants...

Hecate

Hecate saw how lightning lighted up the skies and the sounds of thunder and battle echoed through the place. Hecate came to the field where Veric and Telina was unleashing great powers at each other, but he could see how Veric wasn't doing his best, he was testing this Dunmer female. Hecate watched in exitement from the sideline, within the shadows.

Serene

Cerpin had blocked his mind....she couldn´t reach him. It did worry her a bit. The Cerpin Taxt she knew was not all trustworthy, but apparently Brianna had to deal with him on her own now. It could be ok though.....not even a hardhead like Cerpin could resist a woman all the way...or could he?

The lost soul of Rahvin got through..very faint .....why of course he would be upset about Telina´s fate.....now then he didn´t know the true Telina.....´poor boy! He had no idea who she really was!

Serene thought about 'Haldin......and the promise she gave Telina.....so she sat down beside the road......in lotus-position and focused......she managed to shut out the world..oddly enough

"Haldin.......Haldin"


Brianna

"Ok so we´re gonna run off? just like that? But I can´t leave Telina.....I gotta give her mental support if nothing else!...No I won´t leave!"

Flint Ironwood, a bit away from the rest.

Flint looked over his shoulder. Every one seemed to be rather unwilling to leave.
,,Aargh! Don't be so bloody stubborn. She wanted to do this on her own, so let her. If she wins, she'll catch up with us. If he wins, he'll come straight for us. Just run and worry about the details later!"

Flint stopped. If they wouldn't come, he might have to force them. Now how would he be able to do that? They could all probably beat him without trying.

Telina

Telina, watched as he gripped her hand, ready to say a touch spell, as by mere instinct she chanted, "indviga isaris", the powerful frost spell(also on touch), bit into his hand, just as she felt the burninf spell, engulfed her body. She screamed, and fell to the ground, twitching, and suddenly she launched out with her secret boot dagger, against Verics lower leg(the right leg).

EDIT:DarkHunter...keep Arygon out of this...even a thief knows that a duel is a duel...no one stepps into a fight like this, when only two persons are fighting.

Cerpin

Cerpin took down the mental shield to communicate with Serene.

You have to convince everyone to leave; we have no chance here. I'm not so sure Rahvin has the authority in this group to do any such thing.

Hecate

Hecate loved Telina's last move, it was a tactic he'd used before. Falling dead and then launching a strike, his strikes usually went for the neck thought - not the leg.

Hecate reached for his ring, he slowly took it off...

You know Telina won't win this fight, the Breton is too strong... He thought as he looked over at Serene sitting not far away from the fight.

Veric

Veric took the dagger in the leg, deciding to press his advantage with Telina on the ground. He thrust his Dwarven longsword at her chest, but his right leg collapsed causing his attack to veer closer to her stomach..

OOC: you can choose whether it ends now.

Telina, deep compassion.

Telina watched in horror as the blade decended, suddenly is was as though everything went by her eyes, she closed her eyes, felt the blade decend into her stomach, through her right ribs, and the blood splurted out.

She screamed in agony, she managed to send a last message to Serene and Brianna..."RUN", and then everything was black, and the great Telina Delvanni was lost to the world...

OOC. Of course, she have just passed out...but Brianna and Co dont know that.

Serene

Serene moaned......both Cerpin and the evil spirit were sending their messages right into her exhausted brain..

Now Cerpin was right....they had to leave...immediately, that was the truth, even Telina had urged them to leave......she had to take actions..and that right now!

"Telina won´t win.....breton is too strong" the voice of the evil made her gasp for air.....if Telina died.....

Serene rose to her feet, even if Telina died it would merely be her body...her soul would for ever live with her,Serene.

"Come on now...we have to go.....NOW!!!!!" Serene´s voice was loud and clear and did not allow any objections......she had just before telling the group to leave, secretly cast a command-humanoid-spell.

She followed Flint, looking above her shoulder to see that everyone was following..

Cerpin took care of Brianna.......

Arygon dived, blade swinging in flashing sweeps of his arm as he ran, into Veric. "You... Dirty... Fetcher!" Arygon yelled at the man as he stabbed forward in an extending arch, passing just over the head of collasping Telina. "You Will PAY!" Arygon's blade extended, it was now the same length as the long-sword, having grown from almost dagger size.

OOC: Sorry for the confusion...

Flint Ironwood. you know where

Flint tapped his feet on the ground impatiently.
,,Finally."
He then saw Telina go down.
,,And not a moment too soon."

,,Alright, get running!" He shouted but waited himself. Arygon had just lunged at the man who killed Telina.
,,I'm so going to regret this." He thought as he cast a speed spell on himself and dashed towards the thief with the plan of grabbing him and jumping to safety.


(Now it is your choice if you want Flint to rescue Arygon. As for Flint rushing back, I simply assume that he was out of range of Serene's command-humanoid spell. He had been running ahead after all.)

posting after minque edits or reposts... whatever

Serene

As Telina fell, severely bleeding, her last message "RUN" went through her brain like a flaming arrow of pain......looking at Brianna she noticed the same thing affected her daughter....in wordless understanding the women communicated....with one exception......

Serene had her own theory....about this thing, but didn´t even think about it.....

"yes Telina..we´re off"


Brianna

"Why did she have to die?" Brianna clung to Cerpin´s arm......trying hhard not to cry....somehow she thought Cerpin wouldn´t like that weakness .....
