The Way to Daedric
==Day One==
A round table of immense size held all sixteen of the Daedric Princes, arguably the most powerful entities in a single collection, yet from the whole gathering and purpose of the table, only a few bits of conversation spoken were fit for a mortal’s ear:
Hermaeus Mora: I am the most erudite among us.
Hircine: I may not be of a scholarly mind, but who needs it during the hunt.
Sanguine: Exactly, being inebriated by the blood of mortals makes for a better hunt anyway.
Hircine: I wouldn’t dare hunt with you.
Clavicus Vile: He would wobble and sit on his bottle just trying to leave this table.
Sanguine: Oh yeah? Watch me!
Sanguine proceeds to slip on the recently waxed carpet.
Peryite: Oh, come on…I just cleansed the floor. Who waxed my carpet!
Sheogorath: The lowest order, eh? Speaking of business done out on the lawn, how are you Malacath?
Malacath: …
Vaernima: (After checking through an orb.) Another mortal has felt my wrath.
Mehrunes Dagon: You know it’s just a dream, right?
Vaernima: How did your plan to rule Tamriel go?
Mehrunes Dagon: Not my fault the Camoran fool had his facts wrong.
Sheogorath: I couldn’t resist.
Clavicus Vile: That’s okay. At least we aren’t cursed.
Jyggalag: I will get you and your little dog too!
Clavicus Vile: Leave Barbas out of this.
Sheogorath: Why should I?
Molag Bal: Try and stop him, the Madgod doesn’t seem to lose.
Hircine: Don’t remind me…
Hermaeus Mora: He could never have a win over me.
Sheogorath: You are too boring.
Sanguine: He never drinks.
Hircine: He never hunts.
Mehrunes Dagon: He never fights.
Vaernima: He never sleeps.
Boethiah: He never participates in a tournament.
Molag Bal: He never corrupts mortals.
Clavicus Vile: He rewards mortals with a book.
Hermaeus Mora: A book of POWER!
Clavicus Vile: Still a book…
Nocturnal: What’s wrong with a book?
Vaernima: Nothing, if you can read in your nightmares.
Nocturnal: Looking at you is a nightmare.
Meridia: I agree.
Vaernima: and how did YOUR plan to have your pal rule Tamriel go?
Meridia: I know nothing about that!
Hermaeus Mora: (laughs) I know EVERYTHING about that.
Sheogorath: Enlighten me.
Hermaeus Mora: The knowledge is mine and mine alone!
Meridia’s eyes shift left and right.
Meridia: I know about it…I saw the whole thing fail.
Namira: The fool walked around with golden armor. Shadow is the stuff of victory.
Sheogorath: but who could see it?
Mehrunes Dagon: Bah, I’m glad he wore bright armor. Perfect for showing the enemy their killer!
Vaernima: Except he was swiftly defeated.
Meridia: Don’t remind me.
Peryite finishes rebuffing the carpet.
Peryite: At lease I’ll be consistent. (As much to himself as anyone else there.)
Hircine: How go the plans for the next tournament?
Boethiah: I might mix it up a bit. Care to enter?
Hircine I have a Blood Moon to prepare for.
Vaernima: and how did…
