Go ahead!
Otik->Serene's manor
OOC: LOL sorry guys i'm in the process of moving so its taking me a while to get up to speed. If i don't reply in more than 10 days take control of my character for me until i get my pc hooked up in the new place would ya?
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre lost sight of Akar and Dahleena while he was picking up his gear he had layed down. His armour didn't fit his newly improved frame, but he decided to take it with him and maybe get some gold for the pieces.
Dimitre reached New Vivec about a hour later, give or take a few minutes. He also noticed that the bloody footprints picked up again once he reached Vivec, and figured that they were Dahleenas' footprints seein's how they are the same walking patterns and size as her feet and body moved, and decided to follow them.
Dimitre finally arrived at a manor door. He didn't know if anybody was in the manor or not, but thought that it wouldn't hurt to knock.
Dimitres' shirt was torn up and bloody from the fight back in Suran and ripping it off for bathing. He didn't want to give off the impression that he was a thief or a mugger so he took off the shirt, rolled it into a ball and threw it over the roof.
I highly doubt any theif or mugger would knock before entering the house they were going to steal from though!
The wind chilled his chest and arms, making him shiver. He hoped someone was home so he could possably get a new shirt or something. He had the coin to buy a new shirt from anyone that lived in the manor, weither or not they were the same size as him though was another story.
"Anybody home?" Dimitre asked, knocking on the door.......
Akar, New Vivec
"Hello, there, Miss." Akar said to the altmer woman. "We're looking for Serene." he said, just as a knock was heard on the door outside.
"You can go get that; we can wait." he said, looking at the door.
OOC: it seems you didn't see davion's post, so I helped out a little.
Dalrus, New Vivec
"What did you say her name was? Leni?" Dalrus said to Stauros. She then remembered and waved to Leni. "Hello Leni my name is Dalrus, i like you pretty outfit" she said kindly "Stauros we really need to get to Isaarin. Then i think we should do something fun tonight, its been a while and i could use some fun"
Darum, Zergonipal
Darum awoke with an enormous head ache and he let out a huge groan. His mouth tasted of throw up
Otik->Serene's Manor
Stauros frowned, "Hmm fine. one moment." Stauros walked over to his armor and picked up the helmet. "Here you can play around with this." He said to Leni as he placed it on her head.
"thank you Serene, you've been a good friend, but alas I must leave. buissness."
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre was in the middle of stretching when Akar said his name. Dimitre paused, looked at the Dunmer woman, and slowly lowered his arms and approached her, Akar mom, Serene.
"M'lady" Dimitre said, grabbing Serenes hand, giving it a kiss, then bowing.
Dimitre couldn't believe his eyes, she was georgeous to him! Thoughts started running through his head, then a image of his fiance and daughter flashed in front of his eyes, and Dimitre stood straight up and a look of self hate washed over his face as he walked to the back of the manor, sat down, and put his hands over his face.
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre looked up at Serene and said cold heartedly, but not harm intended, while pulling out the two soul gems out of his pocket,
"If you can bring my fiance and child back to life, or destroy these gems so they're souls may go to paradise..."
Dimitre placed the two different sized soul gems in Serenes hand and went back to looking at the floor.
Otik->Serene's manor
Otik saw all the people and turned to Leni. "WEll see you around, and keep the helmet, I'll get a new one. Tell your mom I said thats for the help and see ya soon." Otik turned tward Dalrus, "Well shall we go?"
Akar, New Vivec
Akar watched the scene before him with a sense of dread; would Serene really try to revive Dimitre's dead loved ones? He shuddered when he thought of what could go wrong in such an attempt.
In an attempt to change the mood, and suddenl remembering someone, he sat up and edged towards his mother.
"So, Mom; when do I get to see my litttle sister I hear so much tale about?"
OOC: he still hasn't seen Leni...
Sel, New Vivec
Sel knocked on the door to Falx's room. "Falx, you in there?" he asked. "Can I come in?"
Serene, NV
Serene nodded at Akar: "OK, Iīll get her"
When she came back she was accompanied by a small tiny girl with light brownish skin and a huge helmet on her dark hair
"Leni....look, thereīs Saryn, your brother" Serene pointed at Akar, " And thereīs his friend Dahleena"
Leni took off the helmet and looked at Akar, with big curious eyes
"My brother??, do I have a brother? where does he come from?" Leni went over to Akar and touched his trousers
"eeeewwww.....youīre dirty!...mom..he needs a bath......"
"I can brush your back!" Leni giggled
Akar, New Vivec
"Hey there, Leni." he said with a laugh. He did need a bath after all that travelling.
"So how old are you?" he asked, kneeling so that he was closer to the girl's height.
Akar, New Vivec
"I'm twenty-two." Akar replied. He didn't know how to represent the number with only ten fingers, so he just held up two fingers in each hand. Hopefully she wouldn't mistake it for the same age as her.
He gave Leni a quizzical look. "Are you sure brothers are supposed to play with their sisters?"
Dalrus, New Vivec
"Yes we should go, and, im sorry to take you away from your old friends, i hope you're not mad." she said batting her eye lashes. "However if you are, i can go to Isaarin alone and tell them that you have personal matters to attend to.
Darum, Zergonipal
Darum blinked slowly and looked up at kashaud. "I suppose you want me to apologize then?" he said horribly. "Though you'll take Sedrene's side won't you? I know the type, you're too afraid to hear the truth. You don't care about the truth do you? Nope you're just a deceitful old man, who is afraid of conflict. Aren't you Kashaud
Darum, Zergonipal
"Well then let me tell you. I was only telling Yurna kindly that i didn't like it when she went to her friends yurt. I had told her before, however i accepted it and went to bed. I woke up and she was gone, i ran around worried, thinking someone stole her, when i saw Sedrene. I thought since he was a leader he would help, however he was with yurna, and kissing her. I charged at him, and yurna threatened me with a knife, i took it from her, and attack sedrene who was preparing a bow." he said normally. "And thats when i got him on the ground and said to him calmly that i didnt think what he was doing was smart. He strangled me and thats when you came"
Kaushad, Zergonipal
"Please tell the truth, Darum." Kaushad said as nicely as possible, but there were still angry undertones evident. "I came before he tried strangling you, Yurna wasn't there, and I saw no bow. There is no possible way that I can defend you with this story."
Darum, Zergonipal
"Well i don't remember if their was a bow, however yurna left right after the fight began and i took her dagger. So there is no way you could have seen her. I bet she's running away right now, i bet she went to New vivec to become a prostitute. She's never been smart and would do this just to shame the ashlanders"
Miles, New Vivec
Miles sat watching the sky. He had chosen a tree outside New Vivec, and was resting there, examining his blade as he did so.
He wasn't exactly what you'd call sociable, but he was always ready to greet someone, but for some reason he could never really get to know anyone, the friendliness was not deep.
Is it just me?
Miles frowned, hopefully it wasn't a family trait.
The way I think,act, portray myself, perhaps it is . . .
It could be . . because my mother and father, both are rather withdrawn. Neither attended celebrations or anything that involved too much socializing.
Miles smiled as he thought of his family. Niran was dead, that was all Miles knew of him, but he still had his parents, and maybe he had another sibling . .who could know? Niran had been gone since before Miles was born, were there others like him.
Miles knew his parents had once been slaves, that they were forced to give Niran away, that they would never have done so if the circumstances weren't so dire.
Miles had an avid hate for slavery, and he had attempted to keep his anger from showing, but he disliked Dunmer very much. The ones he had met personally though, had not acted arrogantly, and he decided that he must not be the kind of person he hates. It wasn't a racial attribute, he had argued with himself, but a personality defect.
It was several years back, when Miles was twelve, when he had a discussion with an enslaved person. It was an Argonian, if he remembered correctly.
Miles also remembered how he attempted to set the argonian free, only to be met with an arrow, from the Plantation keeper of course. The arrow had lodged itself in Miles arm, and it took such a long time to remove, in the meantime almost causing Miles to bleed to death. It had left a strange scar, and to this day Miles resounding hate for slavery has kept. He even went so far as to make a resolution to put an end to it if he got the chance. H
Miles shifted position under the tree, pulling back the sleeve of his shirt and staring at the strange scar.
Serene, NV
The hall was empty when she came back, Otik and Dalrus had left....and no sign of Akar or Dahleena....now that was odd! Then she heard the commotion outside and Akar sounding a bit annoyed..or was it frightened?
She still wasnīt sure what to do with the stones..and the poor Dimitre was still sad, but hopefully heīd feel better later.
OOC: Serene isnīt a redoran councillor!
Dalrus, New Vivec
"Alright, well i'll back you up, besides i don't think she's a councilor, i thought she was just a part of the house, or just involved with it? Anyway, i'm a little worried to see Isaarin, i met him once, but i was appointed by the other councilors. If i remember correctly there are only three councilors that are active in the house right now. What became of the others? Who knows though once the war starts they will take place in the voting. I am a little worried, we will have to submit our army to him. Personally i'd rather control my army with just you. And if i weren't a supporter of Hlaalu then i'd want my army to protect just Caldera." she said concerned.
"I mean i am a warrior, and an excellent mage, i can lead this army can't I? However i am jumping to conclusions,"
Darum, Zergonipal
"Good i am glad you have seen the truth Kashaud, that's what makes you one of the two best Ashkans. I will see you later at the meeting, now if you excuse me i need to see the wise woman of my tribe, i have an aweful break on my nose." He said realising that his lie wasn't successful. However this was good for he got away without quitting the war, which he was an avid supporter of.
Stauros->NV
Stauros thought about what she was saying and nodded his head. "Yeah, well I think we'll take everything together in time. I didn't know what Serene was but I knew she was with Redoran somehow. Nor did I know that only 3 councilors we in the game now, I thought there were more. Well, Which way to Isaarin? Last time I saw him he came over to My manor here. That reminds me, you need to see it. We could stay there while we're here."
Dalrus, New Vivec
"Yes i think he's in his manor in hlaalu. I have an apartment there, and my manor is in the making, however i will stay in your house for now." she said walking towards isaarin's manor
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre looked up at Serene, stood up from the chair and approached her, placing his hands on hers before saying,
"I'm going to go for a walk and clear my mind, if you want, when i get back I will help prepare dinner."
Dimitre paused for a second, then turned and walked out the door. Dimitre had gotten his revenge, but it still didn't fill the hole inside him. Maybe starting a new life, a new family, would help close those holes, but who would be the right person to find? That would be a very daunting task.
Dimitre found himself approaching a man resting against a tree, looking at his arm for some reason. He was still to far away to tell what he was looking at, but some company wouldn't be a bad thing to him at the moment.
Dimitre approached the man, finally being able to realize the grotesque scar on the back of his arm, and said,
"Hey, mind if I join you? If not then i'll just go hang out with Akar and Dahleena or Serene and help her with some tasks." Dimitre paused for a second then continued, "My names Dimitre by the way, nice to meet you." He then extended his hand, not knowing if his gesture would be accepted or not.
Akar, New Vivec
"Well what do you want to play then?" he asked, content with Leni's answer.
Kaushad, Zergonipal
Kaushad left Darum's yurt, and after going to the place where Sedrane was and finding him gone, he asked around for him. One ashlander had seen him, and Kaushad headed in that direction.
"Sedrane," he said, coming closer. "We have to talk."
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre realized that the man was in deep thought and decided it would be best just to leave him alone, after all, he knew what spacing out was like.
Dimitre arrived at where Akar, Dahleena, and Leni was and his heart filled up with happyness. Even though Leni was Akars' sister, all three of them playing there looked like they were just nothing but one big happy family.
Dimitre over-heard part of Akar and Lenis' conversation and in the pause he replied,
"I know of a game you guys can play... me and my brothers use to play this all the time when we were little, whenever we would go swimming. You guys up for it?"
Dimitre waited for a response...
Ryyden, Tel Aruhn
Ryyden stood atop his tower handing his maid a comberry pie. He had just made a new law. Every fifth day of every fifth month, would be make a comberry pie for your friend day. Along with this acomplishment, he had also founded many new spells, and had made the houses stronger in the city. Confused would be the first thing said of the people in the city of Ald Ruhn. However they were happy under their leader. Even if they weren't they didn't have a choice. From his tower he could see all.
He was the leader of one of Telvanni's largest army, and soon he would ask amil for leadership of all forces. Though he'd have to go to sadrith mora soon. Amil and him had always gotten along so he wasnt worried.
Dimitre, Vivec Shore
"Dahleena I'll give you some tips on swimming. The first step is to get in the water at least waist high." Dimitre paused for a second then continued
"The second step is to make sure you have as little cothing on as possable. The more clothing you have on, the more you will weigh in the water and make it harder to keep yourself afloat. The next thing is to just lay flat on the water, the oxygen in your blood will keep afloat, even when limp and not moving.
Another thing, if you find yourself panicing, don't struggle, you'll only create a sort of under-toe and will drag you down faster. Think calm and rationally, and if push comes to shove, you can always use a water-breathing spell for the duriation.
Once laying flat on the water and have gotten used to how that feels, start moving your hands and feet back and forth, up and down, and get used to the friction feeling of your body pushing against the water. This will also get you to move, the harder you push, the faster you go and so on and so forth.
You can't pratice the float trick in the bathtub because there is not enough water pressure to keep you up, and you'll sink to the bottom of the tub. Leni, on the other hand, might be able to for a few seconds.
Last and final step, hold your breath under water. You can take the breath above then go under, or just let your body naturally not allow you to inhale the water."
Dimitre looked at all three. He was pretty sure Dahleena kinda new how to swim, and he knew Akar wouldn't let anything happen to Leni.
"Are you guys ready to play?"
Dahleena,NV
Dahleena listened carefully to Dimitre......hmm seemed that he knew what he was talking about....but the fact still remained.....she couldnīt swim and..she was bit of afraid of water.....
"No clothes?.....ok Iīll takeīem off then"
Dahleena started to take off her clothes...she was not shy, after all she used to be a dancer at Deseleīs Earthly delights....so she was comfortable being naked in front of men.....
The trousers and the shirt were soon off......
"Ok. Iīm ready, what now Dimitre?"
OOC: hope youīre not offended, if so Iīll edit!
Dimitre, Vivec Shore
Dimitre got into the water and took the rest of his clothes off, then said,
"Okay Dahleena, why don't you come over here and lay flat on the water on your belly, but keep your face above for safty reasons heh. This might feel childish but just bare with it. By the way, nice body..."
Dimitre said, then placed his left hand on Dahleenas' stomach and his right lower portion of his arm on her legs, just under the knee-caps. Seeing as how Dimitre was tall, he didn't have to worry about getting close enough to where it would be unconfortable for her or Akar.
"Okay, now start slowly moving your feet up and down to give yourself some thrust in the water and get yourself going a decent speed. Also, the faster you go, the less of a chance you have to sink, but it will knock your fatigue down pretty good.
Now seeins' how i think this is your first offical swim, if you start having problems or anything, just adjust your legs to where you touch the sand under the water. Also, once we get you situated to floating with the help of someone, i'll move my hands away but i won't tell you when."
Dimitre helped Dahleena into the water and helped her level herself and keep her balanced on the surface.
"Also, a way to help get over your fear of drowning, totally submerge yourself under water for a few seconds each time and hold your breath so you get situated to what being completly underwater feels like, and to know there is nothing to be afraid of."
Dimitre said, gentally pulling away his hands. He talked while doing so, so she would pay attention to what he was saying and not what his hands were doing.
Dahleena, Vivec shore
It was amazing......she actually was floating..Dimitreīs constant talking made her forget all and just concentrate in doing as he said....oh my this was an experience....quite new to her......She moved her arms and legs the way he said....and she moved forward! Amazing, she just had to tell Akar, so she turned and opened her mouth to call for him...
Now that wasnīt smart, because she lost focus and ended up with her head under water and her mouth and nostrils were of course filled with water as well......Naturally she panicked....waving arms and legs totally incoherent which made her go even deeper under the surace
A quich thought ran through her mind:
"So this is how it feels to drown.....Iīm dying here..."
Miles, New Vivec
Miles heard Dimitre, but was suprised by the man's approach, he waited until he heard the footsteps fade before pulling the sleeve down over his arm and sitting up to look out at the group who where . . . stripping!
Miles stodd and wandered off into the city.
Dimitre, Vivec Shores
Dimitre took a deep breath and dove under. All of Dahleenas' flailing had gotten her pretty deep into the water. Dimitre could see clearly because it was a sunny day, thank god. Dimitre swam as fast as he could to get to Dahleena, and reached her about 10 seconds later, but that 10 seconds seemed like forever, because he was struggling.
Dimitre finally reached Dahleena and grabbed ahold of her face and placed his mouth on hers, and exhaled into Dahleenas' mouth, giving his oxygen to Dahleena. With the last of his strength he felt the bottom of the shore and pushed against it in haste, projecting them to the surface at greater speeds.
Once above the water, Dimitre wrapped his arm around Dahleenas' belly, just under the breasts so that she wouldn't slip out from him again. Once on the shore, Dimitre layed her down and noticed her eyes looked messed up, like they were getting a loss of oxygen.
Dimitre took another deep breath, and breathed it into Dahleenas' mouth, giving her the boost of oxygen and enery. He repeated it three times before he heard her caugh and snap out of it. Dimitre was so happy to see that she had pulled through.
Dimitre plopped down on the sand next to her, stairing at her, overwhelmed, catching his breath. Dimitre realized it would get really cold really fast, so he placed a large cloth over Dahleena, from her ankles to her shoulders, and Dimitre put his pants back on.
Amili, Outside New Vivec
"The battle is done." she said, watching as the last of the goblins were dispatched by Ordinators and other warriors lending a helping hand.
"Endris, go get whatever you need from the city; your selected assassins as well. I'll meet you in Sadrith Mora."
With that, she and her two escorts walked to New Vivec's port to go to the Telvanni town.
Akar, New vivec
Akar had been with Leni as she splashed in the shallow water, letting Dimitre teach Dahleena to swim. He hadn't noticed what happened until Dimitre had pulled her ashore.
He quickly scooped up the wet toddler and ran over to where Dahleena was.
"Is she alright?"
Isaarin, New Vivec
"Right this way." a servant told Stauros and Dalrus to Isaarin's quarters.
"Councillors Stauros and Dalrus to see you, Sir." the servant said, rapping on the Grandmaster's door.
"Send them in." he said.
"Ah, hello there, Stauros. Dalrus." he said, standing up to give a small bow. "We have much to discuss."
Stauros->Isaarin's Manor NV
Stauros bowed as well, "So i've heard, what is it you want to disscuss exactially?"
Dimitre, Vivec Shores
"She's okay, but if you know any healing spells then i reccomend you use one before she gets sick from all the water in her lungs. I'll take Leni back with me to your moms house, you heal her up, put her clothes back on and i'll meet you back at the manor, okay?" Dimitre said, waiting to see if it was okay with Akar.
Isaarin, New Vivec
"Here, sit, have some brandy." he said, waving to the servant to take care of those things.
He sat down and began. "First, I'd like to thank you for your service to the House in gathering this army. From the reports I've gotten, you've made quite a name for us." He leaned closer. "But now I need some advice on where to distribute the soldiers."
"I was thinking that Caldera and Balmora should have more soldiers than the other towns, Caldera for its Ebony Mine, and Balmora becuase it's the center of our trade. Maybe Hla Oad as well; while it is small, it's one of the few towns we control that has a port."
"What are your thoughts on the matter?" he asked.
Akar, New Vivec
Akar nodded to Dimitre as he gave Leni to the man before kneeling down beside Dahleena.
He did his best in ridding the water from her lungs before doing as Dimitre said and cast a healing spell on her.
Dahleena, shores NV
Slowly she awoke, due to the healing Akar made on her, she looked up in his face smiling...
"Akar?.....didnīt I die? I was drowning......I could see the light in the tunnel, but Iīm more happy to see you.....please hug me"
Mistress Therana, Telvanni councillor, Sadrith Mora
She closed the door to her cabinet, smiling. It was a relief to be alone, all those people swarming in the great hall, the Mouths...really using their mouths far too much....bah!
Therana changed into her nightgown, it was time to get some sleep, but first a bit of self-maintenance. Those face-masks made of green lichen and heather, that Baladas gave her really did wonders with the skin. Some obscure outlander prepare those for him and he usually give her one or two small jars when passing by.
She put on the mask and then sat down reading a book while waiting. She remembered in the old days, before the Nerevarine slayed Dagoth Ur, back then everybody thought she was crazy, out of her mind, a lunatic......oh aye, she definitely acted as one..but that was part of the game!
Therana was as sane as anyone....The Nerevarine knew but did not reveal her. Ah that was a great man.....too bad he was a Redoran! The Redorans are getting more and more cocky, they really have o be told a lesson.....
And then what about that ashlander-girl who came to see Master Aryon? Nah....have to find out in the morning!
Hmmm.....wonder when Amili will come back? She really is one of a kind! Therana chuckled as she thought of Amili....
30 minutes later Mistress Therana was sleeping ......no dreams were haunting her this chilly night....she slept with a smile on her face..which made it almost beautiful...
Akar, New Vivec
Akar obliged as a wave of relief washed over him. He had feared the worst, but now everything was alright.
"I'll carry you back if you want." he said.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
Amili walked off of the ship as it docked in Sadrith Mora. She made her way to the place where she housed the Builders. Hopefully they were doing a satisfactory job.
She walked into the Gateway Inn, and spoke with the Head Builder. Apparently, they were ahead of schedule.
She went to see the tower, and was not disappointed. Only the first two levels were finished, and there were a few builders seen casting their spells to make the mushroom grow larger.
So far, so good. she thought. Now we need to get rid of a few councillors. Fyr, for one; he is only a Telvanni for what the House supplies him, not for what he can supply for the House. He cares nothing for us. And then there is Therana; I think there are spiders in that woman's brain.Dratha can stay; I find her hatred for men amusing.
She sighed; so much to do ever since Melkaan left the House in shambles.
Isaarin, New Vivec
"Suran...I hear most of it is burned." he said, showing Stauros a letter he had recieved. "According to that, some kind of daedra caused it."
"I have a splendid idea!" he exclaimed, putting his glass down and out of the way. "We could build another fort in place of the city. Build it around the river, as the city was, so that we can control what goes up and down it, securing our border on land and water."
He wrote that down; couldn't forget that idea.
"Stauros, I want to put you in charge of Balmora's defenses until the fort in Suran is built; then you will go there and Wred will take your place. Dalrus, I would like you in charge of Caldera. It is your hometown, right?"
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre picked Leni up and placed her on his braud shoulder and walked back to Serenens' house with Leni.
"Honey, I'm home!" Dimitre shouted in a joking manner as he put Leni down on the floor.
"Leni, why don't you go get washed up for supper, your covered in sand, okay kiddo?" Dimitre said, looking at Leni with kind eyes, speaking as if he were a parrent once...
"Serene, where are you?" Dimitre shouted, and heard his voice echo though the rather large manor.
Dahleena,NV
"Would you? Awww youīre the sweetest one I know"
Dahleena cuddled up in Akarīs arms as he carried her back to Sereneīs and Jonacinīs manor.
All were very worried since Dimitre told about the mishap with the swimming-lesson....but seeing Dahleena fit and sound relieved them.
Serene, NV
"So Saryn, are you staying here now? Iīd love to have you and so would Jonacin and above all, Leni....oh and Dahleena and Dimitre are welcome as well. I think we need some support here....Azura knows whatīs going to happen now.....hope Jonacin will be back soon with some news!"
Therana, Sadrith Mora
The following morning she woke up, fully refreshed and rather happy, she decided to go and see Dratha after breakfast.....so she called for her Khajiiti-maid to help her choose the best outfit.
"Mmm, want to make the old girl happy.....maybe she knows when Amili comes back....was it today?"
The young Khajiit, Chisandra, entered the chamber, as usual a bit afraid of her Mistressītemper, even though during the last years Therana had showed a completely different side of herself than before.....was this maybe the "real" Therana? Chisandra hoped so anyway.
An hour later Therana was heading towards Drathaīs chambers, bringing some of that face-mask.....even if Drathe didnīt fancy men....she might just be interested in looking her best when she got female company.....as just now!
While walking the short distance to Dratha, she noticed a new ship at the docks....could it be Amili??
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre looked at Serene with a happy grin on his face, then once he heard the name of this man, "Jonican" the smile went away pretty fast. Jealiousy built up in his heart and mind, but he struggled to rid himself of that feeling. Dimitre started thinking.
Pfft.... Naw it would never work out... she's my friends mother! Besides, sounds like she's married already.... I gotta get out of here for a little bit at least.
Dimitre couldn't think straight around Serene, and figured it was pretty visible from his lack of conversation around her, or his nervus gitters when she would speak to or about him. He laughed at himself for having such a petty crush! He had thought that was something only children did....drooling over a girl!
Dimitre took a glance around the room and saw that almost everyone was pre-occupied with their conversations and, once again, Dimitre was left out of the loop. Resentment on top of Hate, Lust, and Jealiousy was not a good combination!
Dimitre turned and walked out the door, most likely unnoticed just like all those other times. It almost braught him to tears by the fact that noone even cared about him or showed any compassion. This happened to him like clockwork throughout his entire life so far. It left a throbbing pain in his heart that just added to his other, mixed feelings.
Whenever something good happens to me.... you have to take it away! Don't you Azura! You killed my fiance and my child! You piece of s**t! Why are you doing this to me?! What have I done to deserve this! I hate you!!!
tears welped up in his eyes, but something inside him snapped, and the tears stopped and all emotions went away. It was strange to him, he felt completely normal, as if nothing happened... no tears, no hate, jealiousy or lust, nothing! The thoughts still ran though his mind though that he was thinking just seconds before.
"I see how it is! You screw with my life then desert me and take my feelings with you?! Screw you Azura!" Dimitre muttered under his breath, then looked around, wondering if anyone heard him or saw him.
Akar, New Vivec
..friend's mother...married...
Akar looked around for a second, wondering who said that. Then he remembered; Serene gave him her ability.
He had probably only heard a snippet of the thought, but Serene surely heard it all...
"Huh? Oh, right. Sure, I'll stay for a little while, Mo-" the door slamming behind Dimitre interrupted him.
Isaarin, New Vivec
"By all means, Stauros, relax. You've done enough to deserve a vacation." He turned to Dalrus. "Do you have naything to add, M'lady?"
Amili, Sadrith Mora
Amili strode into the Council chambers, hoping to find one of the two councillors that she wanted gone. She knew she wouldn't; why would Fyr come to the Council Chambers, as uncaring about the house as he was? Why would an sinsane, spider-obsessed woman be here instead of playing with her spiders?
He went in anyway, though, and was approached by a messenger. "Miss Amili, I have a letter from Master Aryon."
Amili swiped the letter form him without a word and opened it.
Redorans are helping the ashlanders? Why? she wondered. The n it hit her. They want the ladn as bad as we do, they just want to get it by negotation.
Amili smiled. A war could now be started; Redorans had been killing Telvannis under the guise of ashlanders.
Serene, NV
Serene was truly schocked.....it did not occur to her that Dimitre had those feelings for her.....she could be his mother for god sake! But the worst were those self-destructive thoughts that came from the man.....she wished she wouldnīt have that "ability"..it made her truly sad that he was so depressed and she just couldnīt let him go away like that
"Dimitre!, wait....if you like to take a walk Iīll go with you, I do need some fresh air"
"Maybe she could get him to confide in her....get it out of his system..the murder of his family was about to crush him completely..and it was no benefit that he had some ..some feelings for her........."
She hurried after him and took his arm in a very friendly way
"Come on now....letīs go shall we?"
She cast auick glance at Akar.....making sure he understood her actions....ah he would, he read her mind as easy as she read his!
Therana, Sadrith Mora
Since she didnīt find Dratha at home she decided to go on to the council hall. And there she was....Amili! Therana held her head high and entered the hall in a way that just had to make Amili react..never had Therana looked like this before..
Her posture, her hair, dyed jet-black and kept in an intricate fashion..no more funny clothes, an exquisite robe jewels around her neck.....very nice shoes....
"Amili! how wonderful to see you back in Sadrith Mora!....What news do we have? "
Therana exclaimed this in a soft and melodious voice.....inside she laughed ......
Akar, New Vivec
Akar nodded to his mother as his mind filled in the blanks.
"You need to rest." he said to Dahleena, who he suddenly realized he was still caryying. He put her down on a bed and then went back to make sure Leni hadn't gotten in any trouble since he had went down the hall.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
Apparently, there's a new spider born in Sadrith Mora that she wants to see.
"Hello, Therana." Amili said, faking a smile. "No new news really, Therana."
Dimitre, New Vivec Shoreside
Dimitre had gotten up from where he was sitting and started walking when he heard Serene call his name. Before he could turn around she was latched onto his arm.
"What's up?" Dimitre asked, waiting for a response.
His nerves were going almost out of his control at that moment, and thoughts went through his mind. The only kind of effection he had ever gotten from anyone was Dahleena when she was consoling him. He didn't even get effection from his fiance or daughter, seens how he hardly ever seen them, and his daughter was actually his step-daughter, so there was no blood relations what so ever. That angered him more.
Is she going to try to analize me or something? I have no REAL family, they've all died before I could remember any of them. There are also people who wanted me dead, and have hired many assassins to take me out. I just pray nothing happens to me while Serene is with me, I don't want Akar to go through the pain I have endured... please azura, i know she is still on your side, don't let anything bad happen to her and i'll repent and never talk bad on you again, i promise on my life and soul!
Dimitre kept an eye on his surroundings while walking with Serene, with the setting sun reflecting off her features eligantly.
Dahleena,NV
"Ahh Akar..come lie down here with me...." she called him .....by all mighty gods the toddler just gotta have a nanny or something.....she wanted Akar, and she wanted him now!!
Serene, shores
She was really shaken by Dimitreīs thoughts...
"Dimitre, you probably know by now that I have unvoluntarily read all your thoughts , and they scare me.....no man should be so unhappy and not loved! I tell you this; I care for you, you are my sonīs friend and thus you are my friend. I want you to stay in our house, be with us, live with us, be part of our family.....if you wish to make yourself useful there will be tasks for you to pervorm. These tides are strange and dangerous, I need skilled people in my house to protect us all.....I do ask of you to stay here..i will do my best to make you feel at home.....so what do you say?"
Therana, Sadrith Mora
"Oh jee, the little brat thinks Iīm lunatic still.....she think Iīm obsessed with spiders..I can see that in her face"
"No news?, Oh but I think there are news......according to my sources thereīs an ashlander refugee in Sadrith Mora....now what might that mean, dear Amili?"
Therana smiled at Amili....a cold but completely sane smile
"Iīll show her whoīs wisest and most powerful among the Telvanni"
Dimitre, Shores
What Serene told him made him choose his thoughts cautiously, even scared him a bit. He knew she had some super-natural talents but never knew what they were exactly.
"I would like that, but on one condition..." he paused for a second then continued,
"If there is any signs of danger to your family because of me, you and your family will never hear from me agai--"
Before he could finish his sentance, three arrows pierced his naked back. The first two grazed his lungs, but hit the chest bones, cauing the arrows to stick out. The third one pierced his kidney, sticking out also.
The shots were so silent, and Dimitres' frame was so much bigger than Serenes, so it blinded her vision to what was happening.
Dimitre twitched when the arrows made contact, and not more than five seconds after he got shot, blood started flowing from his mouth as he tried to tell Serene something, blood flowed into his lungs, making it almost impossable for him to breath.
Serene..... please.... run! Dimitre thought, knowing now that she could read his mind, and knew the message would get across.
Dimitre feel to his knees, not breaking eye contact with Serene. He looked up, into Serenes' eyes and tried saying something, he ran it through his mind before trying to verbally say it..
"I...... s...r.....y...." were all the words that could be made out through the garble of the blood flowing out of his mouth, before looking at Serene with tears in his eyes and falling face first onto the shore. A pool of blood quickly started to form around his head, then he blacked out. He wanted to tell her that he was sorry...
Dimitre wouldn't allow himself to die, not without knowing Serene was back to the saftey of her manor, but also knew that if something didn't happen soon, he would be stairing down the gates of Oblivion.
OOC: Jeezerz!!! Are you gonna kill the poor guy!? Canīt allow it!
Serene, shores
She didnīt see from where the arrows came..she kneeled by Dimitreīs side, knowing that quick action was cruisal here unless the man would die.
She cast a fog-spell in order to cover them from any snipers....then sherapidly wrapped her cloak around dimitre, muttered some words which made her able to carry him with her..not very high above the ground....barely off it.
She made her way back to the manor at the same time she tried to reach Akar...she could do with some help.....ant then again she didnīt want to endanger Akarīs life
"Akar....Iīm on my way back with Dimitre..heīs badly wounded"
She tried not to hurt Dimitre too much during the way back, but the poor mnan was moaning in pain, Serene hurried as much as she could, tears running down her face...this was just not fair.......she wished they didnt go so far away....
"Akaaaarrrr!"
Miles, New Vivec
Miles feet pounded upon the ground as he tore through the streets of New Vivec, making his way to Serene and Dimitre.
His sword was drawn in one swift movement.
What the hell are they doing here, I thought they were at Serene's manor?
Miles reached Serene, who was carrying Dimitre. He slowed his pace to match Serenes, who was visibly disturbed.
"Serene, do you need help? Isn't he heavy?!"
Miles had spotted them while exploring New Vivec, and this certainly wasn't the kind of stuff that would attract tourists.
Akar, New Vivec
He had just found Leni when he heard the voice in his head. He hurriedly gave Leni to Dahleena before running out the door.
He ran outside, and saw Serene and Dimitre running towards the manor, and the boy that had lead him to the manor in the first place. After seeing arrows in Dimitre's body, he drew his sword, looking for the attackers.
Serene,NV
She noticed with pleasure young Miles approaching, yet she yelled at him to be careful, there could still be some snipers....but with the help of him the way back went a lot faster, the small feather-spell was wearing off anyway
Then she saw Akar, sword in hand, and got terrified.....if anything happened to him she could not live with that
"Hurry inside..all!" she shouted heading up the gangway to the manor....Dimitre was still alive,,but just barely...This meant a big healing-process..she just hoped she still had some strength left
Akar, New vivec
Akar caught up to Serene, and walked behind her to fend off anyone that came from behind. Once she and Dimitre were inside, she shut the door, while he himself stayed outside.
"What do you say to finding these cowards?" Akar asked the boy standing a ways off, sword in hand. He looked as if he could use it.
Miles, New Vivec
Miles nodded gravely, "Yes, but we must be extremely careful. Who knows if they're aiming their next arrow at one of us?"
Dimitre, Cyrodil, 12 Years Ago
"Hey! I heard there was a fight in the west wing of the achademy! We should go check it out! Hey Dimitre, you comming!?" Akudo shouted, clentching his fist.
"Yes! Let's get moving before it's over!" Dimitre replied, clentching his fist as well.
Dimitre, Akudo, Kamyama and Takenuchi rushed to the west wing to see who the fight was between, and when they got there they found out that the room was full of Dark Brotherhood members. Dimitres' nose cringed at the smell, their stench seaped through the hall like a plauge.
There he also bore witness to a Dark Brotherhood send a poisoned dagger into his good friend, Sanjis', kneck with incredable speed. Soon after, Dimitre, Akudo, Kamyama and Takenuchi were joined by almost all of the first years had piled into the room. The Dark Brotherhood noticed it, and took off out of the windows, leaving Sanji lifeless on the floor with the dagger still in his neck.
"Let's kick their asses!" Takenuchi demanded, slamming his fist into the desk next to him. All the others, including Dimitre didn't particulary find that a bad idea.
"Okay! We all know where the entrance to their hide-out is! Everybody meet there at exactly 10:00pm! Understood?" Dimitre shouted, pulling out a smoke from his shirt pocket.
----------
"Damnit! It's 10:30! Where the hell are they?" Dimitre said to himself, furious, putting out the smoke against the wall he was leaning against.
I need to leave a message for these guys so when they show up they know i'm already inside and to come in and help me! Dimitre thought to himself while scanning the area for something to leave a note with.
Dimitre finally ran his eyes across a paint brush in a pool of paint not more than ten feet away from him, and figured that was better than nothing. He picked up the paint brush, and painted what time it was, his name, and that he was inside. He scanned the area for any immediate danger, then opened the hatch and jumped down into the canalworks.
Once inside, Dimitre spotted the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. He was a excellent marksman, and so with that skill, he reached down to his boot and pulled out the dagger that killed Sanji, got close enough to throw it, and threw it at the leaders right-hand-man, dropping him instantly with a shot to the chest.
Okay... Now one of two things can happen! They can either scatter and save themselfs, or gather around their leader, making it harder for me to gain access... He thought to himself, patiently waiting.
Damnit! Their going with option two! This is not going according to plan. And where the hell are my friends?! Dimitre shouted in his mind, then charged the group of Dark Brotherhood members, getting ready for a battle.
He caught everyones attention running towards them, and they all pulled out their daggers and braced for an attack. Dimitre kept his eye on the leader while nailing blow for blow on his bodyguards, dropping them with one hit each.
Dimitre finnally reached the leader, and the leader spoke to him in a somber tone.
"What is it you want?"
"You know what I came here for, you piece of slime!" Dimitre replied darkly.
Dimitre could see the terror that shot through the leaders eyes, and the other Dark Brotherhood members anticipation to pounce on him if Dimitre took a swing.
The leader took off his armour and raised his fists, and Dimitre did exactly the same, except he was still in his school uniform, black paints, black shoes, black button up shirt with golden buttons down the center.
Dimitre threw the first punch that made a crippling sound across the leaders jaw, sending him to the floor. The leader spat out blood and got back on his feet and took a swing at Dimitre but missed, causing Dimitre to retaliate with blow after crippling blow, all head shots, causing him to fall on the floor again.
Dimitre reached over to the dead bodyguard and pulled out the dagger that was lodged into his chest, and placed it against the leaders throat.
"Go ahead! Kill me! You've earned it!" the leader said, spitting more blood out.
Dimitre faught himself not to stab him in the throat, and let him bleed and suffer just like he did to his friend Sanji, but eventually eased the blade off of his neck.
"Your life isn't even worth taking!" Dimitre said, spitting on him and tossing the dagger aside before walking away.
Dimitre knew he had taken something more meaningful to someone in power then his life..... his pride! Knowing that, Dimitre walked out as Dark Brotherhood members moved out of his way.
Dimitre wrote down the events of the day in a journal that never left his side even to this day. Dimitre likes storing it in his back pocket, incase more things happened that he might need to remember.
Boss, Cyrodil, 12 Years Ago
Boss reached over to one of his high ranking officals, and demanded that Dimitre not live to see the next suns set! His pride had taken a serious blow, and he would not let Dimitre live after what he had done to him infront of his men.
Boss, New Vivec CanalWorks
It irratated him how many years and money and men he had spent trying to kill Dimitre, but he would keep trying until he suceeded. His train of thought was interupted
"Sir," A assassin said, kneeling before the boss.
"What is it?" Boss said agistatedly.
"We've got him! Dimitre is good as dead!" the assassin replied back.
"What?!? How can you be sure?!" The Boss asked, standing up in excitement.
"Sir, we had the best sharpshooter in all of Cyrodil to exicute him! Just so happens he was staying somewhere in New Vivec! Congradulations, Boss!" The assassin exclaimed.
"'Was'? how are you so sure he is dead?" Boss asked, trying to eliminate any spec of doubt.
"Sir, with all due respect, not even the best mages in Nirn could save him! He was shot in each lung, and in the lower back! Wounds that not even you could heal, Boss!" The assassin replied, bowing his head once again.
"Good! Good! This pleases me! We will let him recieve his barrial, then I wan't you to dig him up and give me his head!" The Boss said, and without any other words spoken, the assassin dissapeared out of sight.
Boss was very pleased to hear the news. He had been trying for 12 years to kill this man! And finally he suceeded! Revenge never tasted so sweet!
OOC: They said not the best healer in all of Nirn could heal him, but what about two healers? ;)
OOC: Hey sorry for tripple post, i just thought it would be WAY to big to fit all in one section so i broke it down into three for better understanding and easier reading.
Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre lay flat on his stomach inside the manor, and regained conciousness for about five seconds, just long enough to get a message out.
"Journal.........Read.........Info........Past........." Dimitre said, trying to form the sentance as best he could before reaching into his back pocket and pulling out his journal and handed it to Serene. Dimitre collapsed on the floor once again, unconcious.
Dimitre knew that if they didn't fix him up in under 30 minutes he was going to die, and that would have scared him, but he lost so much blood he lacked the energy to be afraid.
Akar, New Vivec
"I think our archer is over there." Akar said to Miles, pointing. "Judging by the arrows in Dimitre."
Serene, NV
"This would mean a fair bit of healing.....heīs in bad shape, Iīll have to gather all my strength to do this"
Serene rubbed her hands to get them warmer....then she cautiously removed the protruding arrows , while she with one hand stopped the bleeding , it was a very tricky thing to do, she didnīt want him to bleed to death while she was removing them.
Then she held her hands over the holes in his body, focussing hard.....very hard and at the same time chanting an incantation......nothing happened at first....then when she nearly gave up hope, a slight movement was visible.....very slight but still a movement..
Serene continued her task, unaware of the people around her, sweta was running down her back...she repeated the incantation over and over, at the same time praying to Azura to aid her.....
It was visible to all....the faint blue aura that suddenly engulfed her and Dimitre.....and they also could see the terrible wounds slowly close......very slowly still closing...
After this Serene was exhausted, but she went to her special cupboard and took out a green vial.....she put it to Dimitreīs lips and had him sip from it.....
"Itīs a weak healing-potion, very good as pain-killer and to get a good sleep from" she said.....
Dimitre would survive....after a while it was obvious that he slept a good normal sleep and woud do so for at least the next six hours or more
Serene smiled: " This calls for a brandy, right?"
Dalrus, New Vivec
OOC: Sorry i was gone for the weekend in New York.
Dalrus turned to isaarin. "Yes Caldera is where i grew up, i will take this army north to there, the govenors hall is under construction and will soon be as good as a fortress. I built the town since it was destroyed five years ago, and will not have it destroyed again. I agree with your plan fully Isaarin. I would like to rest here for a little as well. Then i will begin the march north to Balmora with Stauros. Then take my army north where we will be in Caldera. " She said excitedly.
"However i ask that if war with Telvanni comes, i may take the army from Caldera and fight them. I believe i have more 'knowlege' of the Telvanni then anyone in all of Hlaalu. I will keep in contact to you with letters. However since Balmora is but a days march from Caldera, and 15 h ours by the kagouti, i will be able to keep in contact with Stauros and the army of Balmora. However if Stauros is in Suran i will not be able to. However that will change when Wred takes Stauros position in Suran."
Ryyden, Tel Aruhn
Ryyden stood atop his tower looking over the huge city. He could see Sadrith mora from the tower, and longed to speak with his good friend Amill. He transported to an island halfway in between the two huge cities. And there he had a boat which had been built there specially for travel between the two cities.
The rest of the journey was short, four hours at the most, and he soon found himself in Sadrith Mora. He walked into the inn, and everyone bowed. He continued walking untill he reached the base of the new tower, and asked a guard for Amill
Isaarin, New Vivec
"Dalrus, I can't make you a promise like that. It all depends on the situation, and I don't know if taking all of Caldera's soldiers off to battle will be to my liking. I city such as that needs to be well defended. I will see what I can do when the time comes, and I would also appreciate any information you have."
This woman had some kind of vendetta, he realized, but he wouldn't let that leave one of his most important cities vulnerable; hopefully she would't take maters into her own hands.
Perhaps I should reassign her? he thought, but decided against it.
"Is there anything you would like to ask me?"
Dalrus, New Vivec
Dalrus cursed in her head. She wanted to take back all of Telvanni's lands which she wanted. She smiled and shook her head. "No there isn't anything i need that i can think of" she said gripping the side of her chair tightly. There was something not genuine about this man, something that reminded her of herself. With Stauros he told her right away, however this man gave her a vibe. "Well it was great seeing you again, i will make my way north soon, come one stauros lets not take up his time"
Stauros->New Vivec
Stauros glanced sideways at Dalrus and was puzzled but didn't show it. "Ah sure, well good day Isaarin, nice meeting you again." Stauros bowed and headed out the door and waiting in the front of the house for Dalrus.
Dalrus, New Vivec
Dalrus walked out of the house and didn't say a word. She fired a huge amount of lightning into the air. It looked as if she was a mighty storm. Dalrus back when she was a telvanni councilor was known as the goddess of lightning. That wasn't and understatement. She gave Stauros a warning glance to be prepared. And they were soon surrounded by a swirl of energy. They reapeared in the camp of the army.
Stauros->Camp
Stauros shook his head, "So what exactially is wrong? You looked nervous in there."
Dalrus, Outside NV
"I really don't know why i was. It might be since i was so devoted to Telvanni that i just really couldnt be around the leader. Which is why i seek to destroy telvanni, or become ruler of it"
Stauros->Camp
Stauros walked up. "Well you know, you didn't have to teleport, we could have left to go to my manor."
Dalrus, New Vivec
"Well i wanted to bring you out here, and tell you in secret. Isaarin wouldn't approve, however he'll thank me later. I am building a tower in Caldera. Above the Govenor's Hall, its a wizards tower. However my studies can't improve without it. This tower will be enormous, i am building a Hlaalu battlemage army. I am leaving now. Good bye i will see you when you return to Suran" she said riding off at a huge speed with all the knights following her
Stauros->Camp
Stauros stood there watching Dalrus go off into the distance. "Well this sucks." he said as he walked up to Vivec. He made his way through the city and walked along the bussled streets and thought of wwhat to do next.
Amili, New Vivec
"Well, Therana," Amili began. "I aopologize for my incorrect assumptions, and I hope that I will see you at the council meeting later today. I'm sorry but I must go inform the other councillors of this meeting."
The remaning councillors were Dratha, Ryyden, Aryon, and Fyr. One of whom would most certainly not come. Thinking of Fyr made Amili remember Virk, and how she sent him there to plead with the councillor. Maybe she could order an assassination through her newfound allies...
Dahleena, NV
She sat beside Dimitre, just watching him sleep. Heīs had a terrible experience, but now he seemed to be ok after Sereneīs healing.
She smiled as Serene suggested a brandy and said sheīs just love to have a drink with such a famous healer.
Akar had left with that other boy...she couldnīt help feeling a bit worried...
Serene, NV
She served some brandy to Dahleena and herself, being a bit curious about where Saryn had picked up this red-haired girl.....she was nice..but there was something about her that bothered Serene.....
Therana, Sadrith Mora
She smiled at Amili:
"But of course! I would never miss a thing like a council-meeting"
She then went out on the platform outside the tower....overlooking the city of Sadrith Mora......wondering if Divayth would show up....Aryon would thatīs for sure but..hmm Then Dratha.....ok she just had to go and see her before the meeting..Amili was skilled but she couldnīt be trusted!
Ryyden, Sadrith Mora
Ryyden walked out of the large port, while people cheered him. He walked into the gateway and was given a room free of charge. He immediately left the inn to find Amil, and found her by the tower.
"Why is that you Amili? You look wonderful, i haven't seen you since, since i don't know when. Since we were both mouths i should think." he said happily.
Stauros->Vivec streets
Stauros started roaming the streets randomly and wihtout knowing it ended up at the Arena. Stauros looked up and sighed, "Damn old-habits." Stauros stood there for awhile and contemplated if it was really worth it. Eventually he turned around and walked off into an alley, unaware of the shadows lurking about.
ooc: yeah i'm bored so Minque I might have Stauros being dragged into your manor
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Ryyden? It has been awhile. The two youngest Mouths in Telvanni's history, and probably the most hated." she said with a wry smile.
"I take it you will attend the meeting later today?"
Ryyden, Sadrith Mora
"Why of course. Yes i suppose we were hated, all those old timers were pretty grumpy i'd say. As a matter of fact i think they accused you of arguing with Ambrose, and since she was a councilor they nearly had us both beaten. So leader of Telvanni now? You've risen high quite fast." he said with a smile
Aryon, Sadrith Mora
Aryon landed on board a small boat in the busy Sadrith Mora harbor. He walked along the path into the city, and was greeted by cheers. He stopped in the gateway and took up residence. And walked over to Amili...
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"I'd forgotten about that." Amili admitted. "And Ambrose is now a -" she stopped as Master Aryon came nearer.
"Master Aryon." he said with a small curtsy. "I trust your travel was enjoyable?"
If I had known that news of my coming here travelled so fast, I would have said something about a council meeting earlier.
Aryon, Sadrith Mora
"Yes quite enjoyable, besides a little sea sickness. That small boat does not give me any support, thoug it was nothign a potion couldnt fix." he said with a smilee. "So is everyone here or are we sill missing Dratha?"
Ryyden, Sadrith Mora
"Hello Aryon, it is good to see you. Now Ambrose is a what?" He said with curiosity. "I thought she was dead. She is dead right?" he said with concern
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"I don't know where Dratha is." Amili admitted. "And I'm assuming Fyr will send his Mouth. Again." she said to Aryon before turning back to Ryyden.
"Ambrose is a Hlaalu. She goes by another name...I believe that someone around her called her "Dalrus."
Akar, New Vivec
He and Miles could find no sign of the archer, so he invited Miles to the manor before walking back inside where Dimitre and the others were.
"Is he alright?" he asked, sheathing his sword.
Serene,NV
Serene opened the journal she found on Dimitre and started reading......
Therana, Sadrith Mora
She knocked on Drathaīs door, and entered. The older telvanni was just getting ready to go out but smiled anyway....
"So Therana, what brings you here, it must be something important, because I donīt think itīs my divine beauty " Dratha chuckled
"Hmm....please, do not make this into a joke, Amili is calling a council-meeting today and I was thinking that you and I should kind of stick together.....I think Amili is very skilled and a good leader but she is a dangerous woman and I fear that she has something in her mind which I wonīt like!" Therana sat down on a bench, sighing
"Amili?" Dratha smiled again, " That extraordinary woman! Oh how I would like to spend the night with her! She has got this amazing body......mmmmmm"
"Please!!!! compose yourself Dratha!, You may live your life, I respect your right to do it, but please.....I donī+t wanna hear more!"
"Hmmm, you always were a sour one Threrana, you know that! If you......" Drathe stopped. "Letīs get ready then" she said
The two ladies went out and headed towards the council-hall, where Amili waited with the already arrived councillors.
"God day to you all" Therana said
Ryyden and Aryon, Sadrith Mora
"Good day to you ladies" said Aryon politely.
"Dalrus is a Hlaalu!?" Yelled Ryyden, "Why would she turn to the Redorans? Are we really that bad?" Ryyden yelled
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"We can be, as Dalrus will soon see." Amili said coldly before the two other councillors approached.
"Hello, Therana, Dratha. Sorry for such abruptness, but I must go see to something. Can you all meet me in the council chambers in an hour for the meeting? I have some business to attend to first."
Therana and Dratha, Sadrith Mora
"Now what is she up to?...have to be really careful here"
"Oh yes Amili" Therana smiled, but her eyes were darker red than ever
Dratha just gave Amili a very lustful look.....slowly licking her lips
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Alright, see you then." she said, feeling two different kinds of awkward under the women's stares.
She went to her quarters in the Gateway Inn to write a letter. She needed to write something to Fyr, pleaading with him to do something. If he didn't, he would have to be removed from the House. Maybe she would give Virk his tower; that way two problems would be eliminated with Fyr gone and Virk far away. If Fyr would somehow cooperate, though, there would be no need for any such action. She hoped that would be the case.
Councillor Fyr,
I regret to inform you that the House is of the belief that you are not contibuting enough to the House. We realize that you have no love for our meetings or struggles, but please, at least find something to do to help. We are about to be at war, and we cannot have any weak links in these troubling times.
Amili.
Her letter finished, she gave it to a messenger before heading to the council chambers. Now was the time to formally announce Redoran's treachery and declare war.
She sat in her place in the chamber a few minutes early, waiting for the councillors to attend.
OOC: Whoīs controlling Fyr??
Therana and Dratha, Sadrith Mora
The two telvanni ladies entered the council hall arm in arm, looking sternly at Amili, sat down and just stared at her.....their looks were not particularly friendly.....except Dratha was constantly licking her lips watching Amili....and she was not looking at her face....
OOC: I guess I will. He won't be a big part anyway, so it's no big deal.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
Have they forged an alliance against me? I would think so, but for Dratha's stares...maybe Therana is still persauding her...no matter; I still have Aryon and Ryyden with me.
"Hello, ladies." She greeted, but she was still deep in thought.
Why would Thearana be against me? Did I do something, or does she just want my position?
Therana, Sadrith Mora
"She thinks Iīm a lunatic.....very well....Iīll keep an eye on her, let her sweat a bit....make her think i might be against her.....which Iīm not of course..hehe"
Therana did not say anything, she just smiled and nodded at Amili.......not unfriendly..just ...watchfully
"Hallo Amili, nice outfit youīre wearing" Drathaīs voice was thick with lust
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Erm...thank you..." Amili replied, hoping that the others would come pretty soon. This was getting tense; one person wanting her, one seemingly wanting her dead...
She looked down to see smoke rising from her clenched fist. She immediately dispelled the magic, as her hand was getting quite hot.
Therana, Sadrith Mora
She noticed the smoke emerging from Amiliīs fist and smiled inside..
"So the mighty Amili is nervous.....that is indeed amusing!"
"So dear Amili what are we going to discuss? And where are the other councillors? I thought Master Aryon would be here!" Theranaīs voice was soft and sounded friendly but .....
Dratha, SM
It was almost unbearable to sit here watching that gorgeous woman and not being able to seduce her.....Amili really was something special and Dratha only wished they were alone so she could make a move.....
Stauros->Vivec
Saturos walked for awhile then stopped, and looked around him. "Damn." He muttered as he saw shadows try and avoid his gaze. Stauros thought of his armor, which was back at Serene's house, he forgot to put it on when he left. He felt his pockets and found the strange dagger Delfran handed him a whileago.
"Well, I wanted to know what this did anyways." At that moment a mugger lunged at Staros but Stauros slashed the blade up and cut the would-be mugger up the chest. The thug was paralizedand landed with a thud, eyes moving about nervously. There was a grunt and this time two muggers went for Stauros. One with a short sword tried to disarm Stauros, while the other with a knife went in for his chest. Stauros tossed some dirt in the shortsword mugger's eyes and parried the knife and cut the man's arm and heard the clatter of the knife hit the cobblestone ground.
Stauros felt a sharp pain in his leg and remembered about the other one, "So you like playing dirty?" Starous crouched down to grabbed the fallen dagger and came back up facing tward the bandit. Stauros smiled and the bandit took a step back. Stauros advanced and disarmed the thug and the it started to runaway. Stauros tossed the fallen mugger's knife at him and he fell a moment later.
The other would-be muggers and theives left the place and Stauros turned to the two wounded bandits. Stauros crouched down to the first one and checked his pulse.
"Hmm dead, So this has a nice paralize and poison enchantment." Stauros stripped the bodies of anythin of value, which wasn't much and limped to the end of the alley and headed to Serene's manor, werever that was from here.
ooc:yep I was bored
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Therana, please calm down and be patient; they are men after all, and are prone to being late. I will not proceed until they are here." she said, getting frustrated with this game.
She was no longer nervous, though; if Therana tried anything, Amili was fairly certain that Dratha would intervene, and she herself was not so helpless. Another unfortunate side-effect of any kind of stunt from Therana would be a small war between Tel Branora and the other Telvanni towns, once the townsfolk heard the news and decided to join the quarrel of their respective leaders.
Ryyden, and Aryon, Council hall
Ryyden and Aryon walked in talking of their former masters. Aryon laughed at the excentric antics of Ryydens former master.
"Sorry we are late, i needed some comberry before we started" smiled Ryyden.
Aryon sat quietly off a little ways in the corner.
"Alright i have heard the news from Aryon that Redoran has sent troops against us. I have the biggest army here, let me head the attack. I will want either you, or Aryon to fight along side me. I will under no circumstances work with that sexist" he pointed at Dratha.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"You won't work with me or Aryon, but you won't be working with Dratha either." Amili said after thinking his proposal through. "You'll work with Therana."
She needed Aryon to be the dimplomat in New Vivec when the Redorans began to ask questions, she needed herself in Sadrith Mora to oversee everything, not just a single attack, and she needed Therana and Dratha separated. She decided that she would rather have Dratha close by than Therana, so her decision was made.
"We won't start a war yet, though. I have other news that may lighten your spirits. I have taken the Morag Tong in, and they are now solely a part of House Telvanni. I will have them lead the attack with a strategic assassination before I wil have your soldiers running blindly into Ald'ruhn."
Ryyden, Council hall
"As always Amili you have the wisest decisions. Therana, i do not have a problem with you unless it benifits me and will be glad to have even what little help your troops can provide. Though Amili if we could get Hlaalu on our team that would help as well." he said contemplating. "Never mind Dalrus is there. However when i lead the attack am i too believe that Endris's men have done the job, or will you send word first?"
Aryon continued looking at all the goings on around him. He had never been one to get caught up in the problems amongst the house, but an idea hit him.
"What about Baladas Demveni? Couldn't we ask him to hand Gnisis into our hands? It could easily be used as a base for our troops" he said calmly
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"We are going to prepare ourselves before we even begin thinking of attack plans. I need all of you to put your enchanters to work making summoning scrolls, Wizards' Staves, and whatever else you deem necessary, I need to have the tower here in Sadrith Mora at least defensible if not complete, I need some sort of navy, there are many things that need to be done before we start this war, and I cannot think of a one the Melkaan has done to make my job any easier." she said to Ryyden before Aryon cut in with his idea.
"I thought he was dead." she said, "But I'll send a messenger to him; I want nothing else spoken of this until I bring it up. This has to keep secret."
If they could take Gnisis, it could serve as aa factory for them. She could have ships built on the river where they could easily be put into the open sea, she could have enchanters sent there, and with a few soldiers to guard it, it would be highly defensible, and the other houses would have no idea that they were preparing for war...
OOC: Baladas is a very good friend of Serene! just so you know!
Therana, SM
"Hm...Iīll work with you Ryyden..or Amili....we are Telvanni arentīt we, we should stick together......but..Baladas is not to be trusted I think....now what abbout that rumour I heard of an ashlander woman deserting to us? Is it a fairy tale or what?"
Dratha,SM
"Amili.....I.....Iīll stick with you......Your command is my law"
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"The ashlander woman came to Master Aryon and told of how Redoran is helping ashlanders; have you been paying attention, Therana? Anyway, what's this about Baladas not being trustworthy?"
Therana,SM
Therana snorted.....
"always trying to be a big girl--lecturing me, who could be her granny"
"After what Iīve heard, Baladas has got close connections with the Redorans....itīs that wretched mage....they are friends as far as Iīve heard....but there might be a solution to that too!"
Therana chuckled......
"Hah....they donīt know what I know...Arcyakt told me long ago....hehehehe"
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"You mean like a charm spell." Amili said. "That would most certainly work, and could even keep the Redorans at bay for quite some time, if Serene has any influence in the House. So we buy Baladas' loyalty, as well as Serene's... I like the way you think, Therana." she said with a smile.
Therana, SM
"Now this is most satisfying..you and I on the same side Amili!...who shall execute this delicate task of charming the Mageīs son?"
Therana looked around to see the reactions of the other councillors...then she noticed Dratha, rising to her feet , face distorted with anger..
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Is there something wrong, Dratha, or are you volunteering?" Amili asked, confused by her rage.
Ryyden, Sadrith Mora
"Do you really think so little of master Demvenni? He has many loyalties towards our house, and a friendship wouldn't change that. We should have master Aryon write a note to him, that would work." he looked at Dratha and gave her a reassuring glance, letting her know she was against the plan as well.
"I Could write a letter, and it does not have nearly as many holes in it as this 'charming of Seren's son' does. Maybe we could get that ashlander deserter to deliver us the erebnimsum to us first. Im sure their chief would chase her and lead the tribe, to where we could single handedly kill them tribe by tribe"
Dratha, SM
"You fool!, donīt you understand? Therana is right! Baladas Demnevanni is a very close friend of Serene.....a note will not convince him..but I can assure you Serene could do it, that witch has more powers than you can imagine!......"
She looked at Amili........with sad eyes
"But Iīm sure the witchesī son will be appalled by you Amili.....who wouldnīt be?"
Therana, SM
"So....are we agreed?" She did not pay attention to Ryyden.....she knew where the real powers were....Amili was the boss......so better stick with her.....for now!
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"I'm afraid we will have to go through with charming Serene's son. While Baladas could be loyal, we can't take chances with something like this."
"So you'll do it, Dratha?"
Dratha, SM
"Me??? charming a......man?.....itīs just not possible....Therana could do it"
Dratha shivered......she did not want to have anything to do with men...
Therana, SM
"I could try" she said in the most friendliest voice she could come up with
"Yes....let me do it....Iīll cast a spell that heīll never get over hehehe"
Ryyden, Sadrith Mora
"It is time's like these that we would have used Dalrus, she wouldn't even need the spell." Ryyden said laughing. He now knew that if the war ended and Telvanni beat redoran who his enemy would be. He would laugh at the sight of Tel Branora burning. His legions would destroy the people. When his eyes were set upon Tel Mora, he'd let his men do what they would with the all woman population. He had now made enemies with these two woman. However he respected Amili greatly, and would only do this after things calmed down and the Telvanni could return to fighting eachother.
Aryon was not angry about the plan, but then again he was rarely angry. He stood there waiting for the meeting to end. This large base politics did not suit him, all he wanted was to make Vos safe. However to do this he had to deal with his comrades.
OOC: Serene, Dratha loooooved Dalrus, since Dalrus is one of the most breath takingly beautiful people on the continent. So when Ryyden mentions this, she would most likely be very mad that he brought up the fact that she left
OOC: maybe Dratha didn't like dalrus for personality reasons? You never know...
Amili, Sadrith Mora
She didn't make any sort of remark concerning Dalrus; that was a topic for later discussion.
"Alright then, Therana. I'll give that job over to you. YOu and MAster Aryon can travel together to New Vivec. Aryon is to be Telvanni's diplomat, and what better place to find Serene's son than with Serene? She was last seen in New Vivec."
"Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"
Dratha, SM
"Dalrus?....not here?..." Dratha turned away....
"Why do they all disappear on me?"
She sat down saying nothing, bowed her head..
Therana, SM
"Ok I will do my very best, so Master Aryon, when are we leaving? But please, who is that ashlander? the deserter.....wonder if she knows Sedrane Mirpal.....that cocky ashkan who caused a lot of trouble"
Amili, Sadrith Mora
Amili noted Dratha's reaaction, and wasn't pleased. When the time came to deal with Dalrus, she could be a problem. Unless Dratha's sadness could be turned into anger...
Aryon, Sadrith Mora
"Well i suppose we should leave later today, since Redoran troops are most likely on the move. And as for Yurna i brought her with me, so we can go talk to her at the gate way right now if you want" he said standing up
Dalrus, Caldera
Dalrus and the force reached Caldera, and saw the huge tower that was coming out of the Govenor's hall. She took out three soul gems, filled with three very powerful enemies, Moldair, and a sylph in one of them. She had put soul trap on them, and when the tree fought a group of three syphs they all fell, giving her the souls. She gave them to the engineer, and the tower now had its magical enemies.
Hla(Tel) Ambrose arose. She stood near it looking up, it was a little taller then her former tower, which had been Telvanni's highest, and she was content with it. Now all that she needed to do was contact Baladas, and further gain allies. She had always been friends with him, and now that her and Serene were friends, she wanted to bring Gnisis and Caldera into closer relations.
New Vivec
Attention Citizens of New Vivec:
A public council will be held the day after tomorrow at the Hall of Justices Council Chamber. The council is being held in regard to recent events that have ocurred in the city. If you have any question or Concerns we encourage your participation.
Your Faithful Servant,
Lord Megil Tel'Zeke
Flyers were posted and distributed throughout New Vivec.
Akar, New Vivec
Akar left the house after knowing that Dimitre was alright, both to get fresh air, and hopefully to find the archer.
Instead, he found a dunmer boy posting a flyer on a post.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Read it yourself, half-breed."
Shaking his head at how rude small children could be, he read the flyer. He would probably go, if only to figure out what the battle he had just missed was about, and maybe there would some clue asto Dimitre's attacker...
Stauros->New Vivec
Stauros continued his way to Serene's manor when he saw someone just walkout. Stauros approched the man, "Hello, is Serene home?"
Stauros then saw the paper in his hand and a messanger boy starting to walk away and grabbed a sheet without him noticing. "Hmm whats this?"
Florodine, New Vivec
Florodine had been sitting around doing nothing for too long. He only needed some bad doing, something that he could call a crusade and march against. He wanted to bring glory to his city. He noticed a flyer up and read it. He would go to the meeting, he was obligated to, as New Vivec's biggest ally.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Therana, once you have the boy, make sure you come back here with him." she said.
"Unless anyone has anything else to say, I'd say this meeting is over."
Ryyden, Council hall
"Yes i agree, we should all get to our posts though. Dratha send your troops to a more forward position, to Uviriths grave. My men will join you there once we get word from Amili here that we can march on the ashlanders. Of course that might involve Yurna.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"No! We will not be putting troops in attack positions right now. I want to be fully prepared before starting a war. Once we get Gnisis through Serene's little boy, and make a few preparations, then we can speak of the placement of our soldiers." She said.
Did these people listen at all?
OOC: I have to stall for AKi's lack of presence right now
Ryyden, Council hall
OOC: Yeah im just trying to make Ryyden the stereotypical SOB telvanni councilor.
"Very well, though i think they should be ready right away just in case. Dratha you can stay where you are i suppose. Now how am i going to infiltrate her city with assasins? However come out as soon as word is sent that attack should begin." Ryyden looked over at Therana and Aryon who were preparing to leave. [I]If only Tel Branora wasn't so far away from the rest of the country.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Anything else, before we finish?" she asked.
Ryyden, Council Hall
"No not that i can think of. Except we need to appoint the Naval leader. It can't be me because i have the army. Tel Branora would be the most logical since it is depended on its sailors to trade with the rest of us." he said trying to reassure Therana that there were no hard feelings.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"Perhaps we could see to that once we have an actual navy?" Amili suggested.
She honestly liked Ryyden; he was a good leader and she felt like she could trust him, but he was a bit too impatient for her tastes.
Ryyden, Council hall
"Oh that's right i forgot about that, i will have ships constructed, Therana, Dratha, and Aryon should do the same. Otherwise i think this meeting is adjourned. " He said energetically. "Oh wait i think you're supposed to do that Amili" he said smiling
Amili, Sadrith Mora
Amili returned the smile, but it was utterly false. "Adjourned."
OOC:
Ryyden, Sadrith Mora
Ryyden walked out of the council hall and headed straight for his ship. It had been a succesfull meeting, and he had become better allies with Amili. Though he now had a new found hate for Dratha. Though if the leadership of Telvanni was to ever come down to whoever could take the capital first, he was only a days sail from there, and had more then enough troops to take it.
OOC: I like this Telvanni rivalry thing, it's almost like the greek city states.
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"I'm sorry, Dratha." Amili said, once she realized that she and Dratha were the only ones in the room. "About Ambrose, I mean."
OOC: hey guys i am at my grampas and brothers house so my posts will probably be far between now until i get to missouri so hurry up on the other stuff so i can get as many posts in as i can
Miles, New Vivec
"Otik, is it?" Miles asked. He was standing directly behind the man, and had been as silentt as he could manage.
"Well, Otik, I'm sure you are to be allowed entry, though it isn't really up to me. Perhaps you should hand Akar here your weapons for the moment and they will be returned to you later, that might ease tensions a bit."
"Hurry up about it to, would you Otik, some others would also like to enter the high security manor." Miles grinned, and placed a piece of paper he had torn from a wall in New Vivec in his pocket, it was the note that had been distributed earlier. He definately planned to attend.
Otik->Serene's manor
Otik glared at the boy behind Akar. "Whats with all the sercurity all of a sudden? I was here just this morning for cryin' out loud."
He hesitated but picked the knife out of his pocket and handed it to Akar. "Don't cut yourself, paralization combined with poison. I don't have anything else, infact all my stuff is in the house, like my armor. I gave the little one, Leni if I remember correctially, my helm."
Akar, New Vivec
Akar took the knife and answered. "A friend just got shot by an arrow. I haven't seen you before, but we'll see if Serene has."
Otik->Serene's Manor, New Vivec
"Ah, I see. You do know that just standing around makes you a better target, right?"
Akar, New Vivec
"It's better than sitting inside and waiting for someone to get through the door." he rpelied, obviously losing patience. "If you're coming, shut up and come. If not, leave."
Serene, NV
Serene opened the front door and addressed the three men outside:
"By Azura, come on in!, you make me utterly nervous just standing there outside, hurry up and shut the door, iīll have my guards watch from outside.....by the way Dimitre is gonna be ok, heīs sleeping now....but there is this weird journal of his..come and read it please and see what you get out of it!"
She gave Akar a warm hug as he entered.....
"If anyone tries to harm my son...itīll be over my dead body"
Otik->New Vivec
Otik followed Serene inside and turned to Akar, "May I have my dagger back?" He said picking up his curaiss(sp?) off of a tabel and putting it on.
Akar, New Vivec
"Of course." he replied, handing Otik the dagger. "I apologize for being rude earlier. You must understand that I was worried for my friends and family. I'm Akar, by the way." he said, holding out his hand.
Otik->New Vivec
Otik took the knife and put it in his pocket and then shook Akar's hand. "Otik, but I siad that before."
Serene, NV
" So have you said hallo now boys?" Serene smiled...."Now this is Otik, I know him from berfore.....and this is Sar....ehh Akar, my son!"
She invited them both to sit down and have a drink....
Dahleena,NV
"Akar!!!! you fool! You could have got yourself killed! Then Iīd killed myself!"
Dahleena rushed at Akar and flung herself around his neck, sobbing hysterically
A journal fell to the floor, that was Dimitreīs journal, which Dahleena had been reading when Otik and Akar entered the room
Aryon, Ship>Tel Branora
Aryon hadn't really needed anything, he wasn't sure what he was going there for, however he would telepathichally contact Amili if she'd let him into her mind for talking matters. The seas were calm and he docked at Tel Branora, where he got off. He only had his trusty guard with him (don't remember his name) and didn't attract that much attention. He floated to the top of the tower and entered.
"Therana" he yelled up the stairs"
Amili, Sadrith Mora
"I'm sorry, Dratha." Amili said, once she realized that she and Dratha were the only ones in the room. "About Ambrose, I mean."
She was hoping that she could turn Dratha's sadness to anger...
Akar, New Vivec
"It's okay." he said, wondering why little things got such huge reactions.
Otik->Serene's house
Otik smiled slightly at Akar and his woman as he put on the rest of his armor. Otik placed his sword in its sheath and took a drink. "Thank you. I don't really know what 'this' is. I'd be willing to help though" He said and then took a drink. "So whats going on?"
Aryon, Tel Branora
"Yeah it's me" he said plainly. "Alright im levitating up." he said as he did the spell. He soon floated up and found Therana packing. "So what exsactly is my job going to be on this besides Diplomat work, is there anything specific im supposed to do?"
Aryon, Tel Branora
"Yes i suppose that's what we will do, however i think i am staying in New Vivec as a diplomat of sorts, however i will be the one to talk to Aryon, since i think she will trust me more then you, no offense. So when i take Serene out to lunch or something, ill say it would be an honor, and since i am a councilor she will hardly refuse. Let's go now though, redorans troops will be on the move"
Aryon, near new vivec
"Yes im pretty sure she has a home here all we need to do is ask i should think, though i am going in first, you will go in after you see me leave. Sound good?"
OOC: Yup
Therana, near NV
"Why go ahead and ask around then....I donīt just wanna stand here" Therana was a bit grumpy, she didnīt feel comfortable at all in this big city.....too many guards strolling around.....not at al good for the purpose of their mission here...Besides she was a bit afraid of Serene.....after all
Aryon, New Vivec
"Well you should come with me to the manor section i suspect it will be much more quiet there." he said trying to calm Therana. "So you can come with me, if Serene will come with me it will be right away, i barely know her so we won't stay in her house for too long." he said getting off the ship and getting into a gondola. The gondolier quickly took them to the manor section and they stepped onto land. There was a manor a part from many of the others which was right by the ocean.
"Excuse me who's manor is that" Aryon asked a guard while putting a spell on him.
"Why its Mr. Jonacin, and Mrs. Serene's manor" the guard under the spell said.
"Well therana we just have to figure out the best way to aproach this..."
ooc:I was told that there were reavers or something here by Florodine so...
Dalave Vandalas->Dagon Fel
Dalave led her group in a charge against the reavers and the groups clashed. After a few minutes the ground was littered with Reaver corpses and a few of the Gang mambers as well. Dalave ordered the archers to fire and they shot arrows deep into the enemy lines and The Brood kept pushing their way using a motly(sp?) assortment of weapons raging from knives to hammers. Dalave pulled out her dual short swords and cut up a reaver and saw that they were retreating. Dalave smile a wicked smile and stood there watching them fall ranks and head to the boats. She called her troops to a stop and to clean up the battlefeild and retrn to the cave.
"They'll be back" Dalave said to a random member.
"They always are, and I wouldn't have it anyother way" He replyed
ooc:yeah yell at me if you don't like my guys i just got bored
Remaining reavers
The Reavers were caught completely off guard, and altough more then half escaped to go to the Silhouette, many died. A group of fifty of them ran into the courtyard of the End of the World Inn and baricaded themselves in it. The faught off many attacks and only had to wait.
A day had passed, and the Reavers arrived at the Silhoutte's tower.
Dalave->Dagon Fel
A member jogged over to Dalave and stopped. "Miss, I just saw a group of reavers take shelter int eh Inn, they are fortifying it as a garrison."
"Well that is an easy solution. there are hills, we have archers, so we will shoot down on them untill they die."
Dalave roused her troops onto a hill and exicuted the plan. Hails of arrows started falling on the reavers and the designated archers were guarded by the rest of the group.
Reavers, Dagon Fel
The Reavers let out a cry of dispair when they saw the archers, and put up their shields. Three fell, and they rushed under the the cover of the balcony. They had a few crossbowmen in the uper levels and they fired back at the archers
The Silhouette, Nathanoj
The reavers stayed on the ships but one came running onto the beach.
"Sir, sir, we were attacked yesterday, most of us survived however the town of Dagon Fel is lost. I think we still have a few men in the inn however it won't be long before they fall."
"Then it is time, i leave this place." hissed the Silhouette. "The campaign for New Vivec is over for now" he nearly yelled. "To arms, to arms." the placed emptied, a great multitude of Moldair, and Orcs poured onto the ships, the goblins went onto their small boats which was a horde of canoes.
He would head north and defeat this new power. The reavers all reported that she was a devil, they said she was powerful beyond belief.
Dalave->Dagon Fel
The Brood saw the crossbow bolts and lifted their heavy sheilds but one died because he was to slow. Dalave saw that the reavers took a more defensive move and made a desision. "Everyone except on row storm the gates and try to pass the baricade! Archers aim at the crosbowmen and the defence row, keep your sheilds up, let hte archerrs move. you stay still."
Dalave lead the charge and she mumbled something to Mephala and around her it seemed her comrades bulked up, in a demonic bloodlust.
The Silhouette, Sea
The sound of people chanting songs, and drum beats could be heard all over the ocean as the rowers worked hard. The ocean was alive with bodies on ships once they reached Dagon Fel they would defeat this force indefinetely, however the Silhouettes boat took the lead, and he was slowly gaining ahead of eveyone. He would defeat this menace before his force got there.
Dalave->Dagon Fel
Dalave and her squad rushed the barricade and tore it down, sustaining heavy damages but without any losses. Dalave cut a terified reaver as he squad was unleashed upon the Inn slaughtering anyone that was within range.
Reavers, Dagon Fel
The reavers faught valiently cutting down many enemies. one by the name of Smieven was crushing many enemies. He brandished a huge mace and looked un beatable. He smashed down on an enemy. Three more fell. Then a stray arrow came and hit him in the neck, he fell down, crushing someone under his fall. With the fall of their champion the Reavers retreated to the inn, and closed the door.
They grabbed the book cases and bar counter and placed them in front of all the doors and windows. Now they waited for their doom
They had already faughten for over five hours, and it would take a while to break into the building
The Silhoutte, Near Sheogorad
The Silhoutte had now gotten a mile lead on the rest of the ships. He had with him four other silhouettes, and fifty moldair. The rest of the ships could be seen aways back, there were hundreds of ships and thousands of canoes and boats. They would be to dagon fel in an hour
Dalave->Dagon Fel
Dalave and her brood cleaned out the courtyard and stood for a mintue thinking. Then she told he strongest man to weild the fallen champion's mace and to attack the door untill it went in and the rest of the troops stood around ready to charge into the Inn nad slaughter the rest of the reavers.
Dalave signaled for the archers and the rest to come down and wait in the Courtyard. The other people started scavenging the the dead reavers for money, and better armor or weapons. Dalave smiled, it was only a matter of time before she retook the city.
Sel, New Vivec
Sel saw that Falx was asleep, and he didn't want to disturb him, so instead of the expected meeting, he ended up walking outside and back towards Serene's Manor.
He knocked on the door, not really having anywhere else to go...
Reavers, Dagon Fel
The reavers awaited the entry of their enemies, and their dooms. They had only a matter of time. Suddenly the door crashed in, and pushed back the book cases propped against it. In came a swarm of enemes, killing the first defenders. The fighting began, brutal fighting. Metal against metal, blood mixing with blood, the inn had become a war-zone. The reavers were losing and ran upstairs and held their spears in a phalanx against the down stairs.
The Silhouette
The Silhouette and his ship had now gotten near to the shore, however the Silhouette didn't wait, and he jumped on shore. Sprinting to the inn and slashed the throats of two bandits. He cotinued to hack and slash, and then let off a bolt of magicka.
Sel, Akar, New Vivec
As Sel and Akar made eye contact, they both said, "What is he doing here?"
OOC: the one time they met, they fought.
Serene, NV
"There now! please guys! My son and my best friend you are you two..so please be nice to each other right?..."
She looked from Sel to Akar and back again......
Sel, New vivec
If this was her son, why the hell was he helping that assassin that tried to kill Serene?
Another glance told him that Akar really was her son; those eyes were definately the same.
"Alright. I won't be here long anyway. It's about time I went home." he said, taking a seat and wondering how he was to get past the blockade...
Akar, New Vivec
Akar couldn't understand why Serene's 'best friend' would be a killer, but he was in her house and had to follow her rules.
"Yeah, it is." Akar replied to Sel's statement.
Serene,NV
"Sel! hmm I really like you to stay but then again.....I do understand if you long for Celia and Triel....I wonīt stop you but still Iīd love you to stay!.....You make me feel secure and .....ehh well!"
She stood silent for a moment wondering about the hostility between Sel and Akar....she somehow read selīs thoughts but they didnīt make sense to her...not at all....then she came to think of another option.....
"If Sel was going home to Cyrodiil....then he would be pretty safe...at least safer that here.....and if so...then there was a possibility.....She was so worried about Leni....so if Sel would agree to it.....hmm to take Leni along back home...then the lilīgirl would be ...safe. Celia would take care of her better than anyone, besides Leni loves Celia...hmmm that is surely something to consider..."
Sel, New Vivec
"If you don't mind, I think I'll stay here until tomorrow morning." he said. "Celia probably thinks I'm dead or something."
The Silhouette, Dagon Fel
"Who am I?" he said blocking the sword. "I am the Silhoutte leader" he hissed. Dalave charged him, and the two clashed swords. He she fought hard, and the Silhouette found himself with quite a challenge. A huge amount of bandits attacked him, and he spun around slashing the stomach of two of them.
Dalave flipped up over the group and fired a dart at the Silhouette. A bolt of magic from his finger dispatched the missle, however she was good. She was most certainly not a nice person. Her face and body was beautiful however still dark and angry.
