Hi, finally the update comes, I have suffered a little writing block, so I managed to scrape this together for about three hours ago, so please go ahead and enjoy yourself.


I managed to get my head above the water, and breathed heavily in the sweet air. The wave was pushing me far down the rive, and all sense of direction was long gone. I swam as hard as I could towards one of the shores, I thought, and suddenly my hand caught a door handle. I tried to hold on, but suddenly it tipped down, and the door opened. I fell down the large stairs, and was hit my head on one of the caskets down there. I do not know how long i was out, but when I woke up the room was half filled with water and several bones was floating in the water.

I spoke the healing cantrip that would make me quick in a jiffy. After a few painfull seconds of flesh knitting back together, I lovered me into the cold water, I shuddered as the water was icy cold, and I waded towards the entrance. A slight shimmer in the water to my right caught my atension, so I made my way into the room where I had seen the shimmering light. The door was broken, so I did not have to stress with opening it, I saw that the light came from the water, and after a little diving, I stood above the water again, looking at my newly aquired ring. it was the long lost Denstagmer's ring, believed by many lost and destroyed, but still here I stood with another immensly powerfull and legendary artefact, I actually thought that for some reason I was something special, before I expelled such thoughts from my mind.

When I came out of the tomb, I wanted to look at the name, but most of the outer building was...gone, propably chrushed by the gigantic wave. After a little looking around, I realised that I was lost, so i spoke the recall cantrip, and found myself standing in front of Baladas.

-"Telina, what in the name of Azura have happened to you, are you ok"?, he looked immensly worried, and I tried to calm him, but as I took a vary step forward, the floor came up and hit me in the head.

-"Telina, Telina, wake up, wake up, it's breakfast". The soft voice of Baladas came back to me, and I slowly opened my eyes.

-"How long was I out"?, I asked kinda embarassed. "Oh not so long compared to what you went through, just two weeks, oh yes a letter came to you while you were out, it's from Sadrith-Mora".

I suddenly realised what it could be, so I quickly got dressed and went up to the breakfast table. Baladas was talking to someone about a matter that had happend out in the ashlands, but I did not hear it, as I was to exited with the letter I was reading.





I looked at the letter a couple of more times and then turned to Baladas to ask him if he happened to know of any experts within construction, but the look on his face made me forget all thoughts of my stronghold. He was standing there, in his left hand there was a curled letter. He was shaking, his eyes was a malovent storm of boiling hatred, and even his daedroth pet, was shrinking with fear by his master's reaction. The walls themselves was twitching and swhirling, and when he talked to me, it was with a voice that was searing my ears, and I nearly screamed out with pain, as his anger made everything around him get tormented by the unsteady magicka that was flowing throught the room.


-"Telina, two telvanni strongholds have become attaked by the forces of hlaalu and redoran, I will go to Odirniran where the hlaalu have attaked, now I want you to go to Shishi to stop the forces of redoran".


- "From what I have learned a telvanni who have been living in Aldh-Rhuun, he was only having a few years brake from the house, and this morning the rodorans claimed that he was a traitor to the contry, he-he was executed in public for treason, h-he he was my son"...

I suddenly felt a huge amount of hatred rise up within my chest, and it fed me, gave me an insatible bloodlust, a wish for revenge, I had trusted the redorans was honourable mers, a bit thight minded perhaps, but honourable yes, and yet they dared kill an innocent mer, they would pay for this.


-"Now, here I have a scroll that will take you to the entrance of Shishi, kill any redoran you come over, they deserve nothing less". With that, he dissappeared, and I steeled myself with the inevitable battle that was to come.

I spoke the words written on the scroll...."yr gwhaneth ahordho shishitamensta".
I felt the normal dissing sensation that always came with the means of teleportation, and soon stood in a hall similar to the entrance hall of Baladas. I slowly walked towards the door, and I opened it silently, hoping that there was not anyone looking. The sight that met me gave me an immidiate urge to loose my breakfast into the nearest bucket. The walls was splattered with blood, intestines and other pieces of guts was laying aroud, a little longer away bodie parts was littering the floors. My rage went into the highest peaks possible, it became beyond the aspect of understanding, I was filled up with an urge to kill anyone that came in my way, but I managed to resist it, I needed to keep calm in order to do this.

I came upon several rooms filled with the same scenes of slaughter as before, and after a while, I finally saw a redoran soldier, she was standing with her back turned towards me, and she was rummaging through the pockets of a dead servant. I walked silently towards her, and talked to her.

-"Finding anything of interest...redoran filth"? With that, I grabbed her by the neck, and threw her down into the pit below, where a couple of
dremoras ripped her into tiny laces, and then they headed towards me..oh damn, I hadnt counted on that. I suddenly got an idea, I tried to enter their mind, to tell them that I posed no threat to them. They had nearly reached me, before I got contact, I told them of my purpose here, and they lowered their weapons. Suddenly they grabbed me by my arms, and marched me up a long causeway towards a door, and I got the point, I loosened myself from their grip, and drawed my trusty ice blade, and confidently entered the room.

-"Ohhh bugger", I stammered, the room was filled up with propably fifteen redorans, who all looked shocked at my appearance, then they advanced towards me with swords drawn, and satisfied looks on their faces.

Only a natural instinct saved me there, my normal reaction was to get to a place where I had the advantage, so with a little telepathy, that did not strain me the slightest bit, the room went completely black, sake for me, I could feel, I needed not my eyes, I felt the entire eviorments, and so I closed my eyes, and disposed of my shiny items, which included the ice blade and the skullchrusher. I "looked" around me a little more, and saw that the dremoras had aleredy attaked the redorans, so I used my chance to bail out, and I hid in a crack in the wall, just small enough form me to hide in, the place was nearly the same place where I had killed the first redoran, and then I waited.

I felt two redorans sneaking towards me, and then past me, with the swiftness of a cat, two silver daggers came out from my boots ( one from each ), and into my hand, I then jumped and took a split over them and while still in the air, I stabbed them into the troats of the redorans. Unfortunately one of them let out a scream, and a few more came running down from the room above. I jumped over the ledge to my left, and managed ( barely ) to hold myself to the railing. They stopped..I felt it, and started to argue where I had gone, then I chose to appear, i jumped up again, and gave one of them a chrushing kick in the head, and he fell screaming down outside the railing, and was chrushed at the floor below, the next one, was dispathed by a punch that chrushed everything that was to chrush in the neck, and he sunk to the floor with the sound of a ballon who just lost it's air.

The two others were another matter, I had managed to grab one of the swords laying on the floor, but I was being pressed up towards the railing, and with two people battering on me, I could just defend myself. After a little time, that felt like an eternity, we got into a sword lock, and I was pressed to the ground, suddenly words just came into my mind, and so I spoke them..."Yghawara blastonimius".

The redorans was flung straight into the wall, as though they were puppets hit by an ogrim. The force of the impact myst have broken every bone in their bodie, and i smiled as I realised whatever power was holding it's sway over me, had given me another toy, but I realised that I needed to start to be carefull, I lost controll of situations all to often, and sooner rather than later I would get arrested if I continued. I rose up and dropped the battered sword, and picked my daggers out from the thrashing bodies, and made my way towards the upper floor. Suddenly out of nowhere came a skeleton, and it started to swing away on me with a silver claymore, slightly to large for my liking. I killed it after a little minute, but i had been cut several times, adn the bloodloss had aleredy started to make me dizzy...It was starnge that agains soldiers of house redoran, I only got in trouble if I stayed in a prolonged fight, and after that i nearly got bested by a pile of bones...this island was definately...weird.

A healing cantrip took care of the matters regarding cuts and bloodloss, and when I arrived in the top room, I managed to turn the lights back on...I wished I hadnt. The place was a place filled with dismembered bodies, blood gore and guts was littering the entire floor, and the dremoras stood there completely unharmed, with evil grins on their faces.

After a little telepathy I managed to find out how to find the master of the place, and after turning on a skull, I ventured downstairs again, and went down the trapdoor to talk with the telvanni residing there.......


OK so thats all for today, I shall write more on sunday, untill then bare with me.

Oh well Telina.....hmmm you´re going after Redorans huh? Well it seems that we´ll have to show you that there are SOME nice ones as well.....

Thrilling and exciting chapter here......that lil´Telvanni-lady really is something special...Oh and beware of the anger of Baladas!

great job Tellie! keep it up!

Oh yesmink,i know there are some good redorans, Serene and Trey for example, but still you cant go away from the fact that in the game the redorans DO attak that stronghold...I just made it a bit more bloodier.

thanks for replies, now all we have to do is to wait a little mroe for your update to come.

Ah, nothing like the good old fashioned ambush to take out superior numbers.
So Redoran is on the warpath? I can tell it will become very messy before this is all over.
Good update.

Hmm funny, I don´t think I´ve played that part....trey described it and so did override but I don´t remember doing this Shishi-thingy!

Oh and my update will be released as soon as it is returned from my editor!

the update will come later today.

When I came down, the mage who stood there, drew a staff, and looked as though he wanted to make a heroic last stand.

-"Wait...I am Telina Delvanni, spellwright in the house, are you Faves Andes the wizard"?

His eyes widened and a smile stretched itself across his face, and he lowered the staff. "Ah sorry for my reaction spellwright, I thought the Redorans was comin, but i guess that since you are here, they are dead"?

-"Yup they are, your two dremoras made a hell of a mess up here, so everyone here is at least quite dead".

-"Did any of my servants survive", he sounded rather worried now, as he believed the worst,which he should. "No I'm sorry, they was viciously killed, but the Redorans have paid the price....a LOT". he started to cry a little, ashe realised while he had been hiding up here, they had murderd his servants...I understood him quite well.

-"Now, take these two books here" he handed me two rather large and heavy books, "and give my thanks to your master, now leave me". I did as he said, and walked out of his room. then i spoke the cantrip that would take me to Sadrith Mora, and there i stood in my favourite weather...yeah my luck the rain was pouring down in buckets, and i was soaked after the two minutes it took me to go to the council hall.

When i came in, i heard it was a rather heated discussion in the very hall itself, so i therefore went in to have a look. In the hall, all of the mouths was having very heated discussions with each other, as was the masters who was there. They were fighting over what to do with the are known as Salendils grave, beacuse someone had found an ebony mine there....that was interesting, that area belonged to me...I tried to get their attencion, but no one was listening. i tried and tried but since no one heard me, I went over to drastic methods, i tried to enter the mind of each and everyone of them in the same time, and ask them to be silent.

I still claim today that that was the hardest thing I have ever tried to do, all the mixed emotions, free minds, i nearly fainted, and got an immense headache. but finally I felt that i had entered the mind of each of them...."SHUT UP, AND LET ME SPEAK....NOW" the room went dead silent, i saw several of the persons was holding their heads, and I realised that maby I had screamed a little loud.

-"Honoured mouths and master's, and certainly not least sed Gothren, the area of Salendils grave belongs to me, and i am in the progress to build my stronghold there, but I must thank you all for telling me there is and ebony mine there, I didnt know that, so if you have a problem with me building my stronghold there, you better take it up with my patron Baladas Demnvanni".

The silence in the room was nearly to taste and feel on, everyone was staring, sake for Baladas new mouth Enar Releth, who looked as though he was having the time of his life. But the look on Arch-Magister Gothrens face...he looked like he had been given a drink consiting of mixed guar and nix hound droppings...if any one can imagine such a look....that moment was...well just...priceless. I turned and walked out off the hall, and walked outside again, where it suddenly had stopped raining, a perfect day to explore. For many hours i walked over land and sea, following the directions tomy srtonghold, given to me in the letter. Several hours and painfull cliffracer attaks later, I stood in front of my new....shroom. I saw an orc woman standing and admiring her work, so I guessed that she was the construction leader, and I walked over to her.

-"Ahh hello musthera Delvanni, my name is Gashnak-gra-Mughol, and I am the one who is leading the construction of this stronhold".

-"You tell Llunela that the stronghold is now through the first part, and that she may think a bit about the second part, so you may move into the house right now if you so want".

I quickly translocated back to Baladas, after marking my location of course, and went up to him. I found him standing there, looking extremely happy with himself, so i guessed the Hlaallus in Odirniran, was quite dead. I sat down at the table, and wrote my report to Llunela.



Baladas grabbed the report, and sendt it to his mouth in Sadrith Mora, so that he would deliever the report.

-"Telina", he looked at me again with thosee warm piercing eyes of his. "Now that you move out, I cant protect you more, not the same way at least, you see now that you have a own house, and being promoted to a wizard, you will become a highly apreciated target for the lower members of the house, i suggest that you seek out someone to hire guards for your stronghold". "the construction workers I have aleredy fixed, and they are travelling to your stronghold now as we speak".

-"The guards is it a little worse with, there is no one here in Gnisis and the other areas around here, so you have to find those on your own I'm afraid". "Here is a ring", he handed me a ring made of some black and cold metal, but i had no clue of what kind of metal it was. "It will instantely transport you to your stronghold, and here this is a gift from Faves Andes, as a thanks for saving him",he unwrapped another staff, which I realised was a silver staff of war...the official sign of a Telvanni wizard. " I wish you good luck...my friend".

i could swear that I saw a tear emnate from those ancient eyes, and I gave him a big hug, and walked down to say goodbye to my old room, and pick up my stuff. I was shocked when i enterd, the stuff was gone, but then I realised that the things had propably been brought there by Baladas, so I equipped my ring, and found myself outside my trusty house again. i walked up the walkway, and looked at the large banner hanging there, with a name on it...my name..."Tel Delvanni". i felt strange, this...THIS was my own place, I had never had that before, I was now the owner of a large area of land, which included an ebony mine, and IU walked happily into my house.

In the middle of the room, stood two large chrystals, that erected up from the ground, and the humming power in them, toldme that they were the foundation of my house, I had a large basement with one room filled up with empty crates, and another with large sacks filled with different herbs and other plants. The top floor was another matter though, i had two large shelves, one filled with various magic thingies, and another one filled with...books, loads of books, i loved to read, so this did not hurt my feelings at least. there was several chests filled with nothing, a table with some plates and flowers in a vase...and then it was the bed......A large Twoman bed, big enough for me to lay stretched out any way, filled with soft pillows warm blankets and good matrasses, the clothing on the bed was made of the finest of silks, and I nearly started to cry as I realised all of this luxuriousness was mine. At the floor stood some alchemical sets, and i found a wardrobe with all of my beloved clothes in, and there was also a large shelf to hold alloff my weapons and armour. i dropped off my pack, took off my shoes, and threw myself into the lovely bed, danger or no danger, I wouldnt lift a finger for many hours, so I decided to try and find some sort of guards tomorrow, and i fell asleep silently, and had the best night sleep ever.



So here it came, I do hope you liked the way I described the interior of the house, and all. The next update is on tuesday as normal.

More telepathic goodness. Telina is increasing in power with every update. You better slow down before she becomes so powerful that she starts bossing around the Daedra.

As always, a great update.

Hi...I am so sorry but the update I promised you, wont come today after all, as RL has been killing nearly all off my time the last days...but one will come out within friday.

Oh I do forgive you, since I know how real life can be a nuiscamce!

But you continue to impress with your vivid writing.....so I´ll be weaiting patiently....or?...nooo I´m very impatient...so please update !!!

Ok..here it comes at last.

When I woke up late afternoone, I decided that i propably had to get me someone to clean and such in my house, and so after talking a bit to my orcish constructioneer, I was directed to Tel Aruhn, a translocating spell to Sadrith Mora, and a four hour long boattrip later, and I stood in Tel Aruhn, the home of that dunghead Gothren.

When I walked into the underground, I saw a woman directing guards to whip people who undoubletly was slaves.

-"Hey stop that", I yelled. I might not have told it before but I hate slavery more than anything, even imperial legioneers.

-"Who demands it", she said back.

-"Telina Delvanni, wizard in the house". "I am wondering, how much would you like for these slaves".? I could actually use them in my stronghold, I would free them, and offer them jobs, well paid of course.

-"You can take the whole lot for seven-thousand".

I strolled over to the bank of Vvardenfell, and withdrew ten-thousand, just to have some change...yeah right, 2k is change...Telina admit it, you like being rich. I paid the woman, and made my way to the clothier, and each of them was allowed three sets of expensive clothing each, then we continued to several other shops, and I bought them some stuff that they wanted. I barely had any money left when we arrived at Tel Delvanni, so I took them in, and made them sit down around the table.

-"Ok, first my name is Telina, youmay call me either that or Ser Delvanni". "I have bought you, simply beacuse I hate slavery, so if you all wishes so, you are free", I unlocked their braceres with the key I had been given.

-"But I ask you to reconsider with leaving, as I need as many people to work for me, so I free you, then I offer you jobs, each of you will be well paid, and will live here free as long you work for me", they was nealy crying of happiness as they seemed to finally understand what I was offering them.

-"Ok, I just want to know what everyones area of expertise is, so that I may give you the most suitable jobs". "You there, your name and profession", I asked the imperial.

-"My name is Manilian Scerius, imperial, and I used to work as a legioneer trainer, youll find out that I can teach you much with blades of any kind, including dual wielding, Ser Delvanni".

-"Khajiits name is S'Bakha, Khajiit, good with numbers and stealing mistress".

-"My name, is Ciralinde, Altmer, and enchanter, also a splendid cook Ser Delvanni".

-"I am Davina, redguard, and former legioneer, I was once one of the best trainers there is in the noble art of blocking".

-"I'm Jadier Mannick, Breton, and alchemist, if you need a potion, I'm th one you want, I can teach you a little about alchemy, but I must admit I am not the best within my line of work".

-"Well, I am Menelras, a Bosmer, and simply archer, I can teach you a little about archery".

-"OK, I'msorry to tell that at the moment you'll have to sleep on matrasses i the main hall, as I do not have any beds, sake for my own, but I ensure you I'll go straigth on that tomorrow, along with some equipment to make an alchemy lab". "Since you Manilian, seems to be the best fighter here, I put you in direct command of my house when I'm not here, you'll also get the task of finding more guards, Davina and Menelras will be your executive officers, understood"?

-"Yes Ser Delvanni", all of them said.

After that we had quite an enjoyable evening, and Ciralinde made us a fabulous meal,or guar steak, and some mashed herbs in a stew. Suddenly I got sad, as I thought on what Serene and the other ashlanders was going through up in the grazelands, little food and bad weather, so I felt it like it was my duty to visit them someday soon, after I had gotten things settled down here.


OK, so that was all for today, but dont fret, you will have a new one one friday, this was just apost made to get things up and running at my stronghold.

Oh good. Well done on freeing those slaves and giving them jobs. They seemed to be thrilled! Very well written and like always, another great update!

Next update comes tonight....

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with your story lately Tellie, it has grown more and more interesting in recent times as Telina's power grows greater and the building of the stronghold grows larger. Very good miss, please update soon.

THIS ONE I DEDICATE TO KILN, IN HOPE THAT HE WILL CONTINUE WITH HIS STORY AND CONTINUE TO BE ON THE FORUMS.

OKI....I have now managed to sit down, and hopefully give out a really good one today.

-"Wake up, Ser Delvanni, it's breakfast", I woke up to the voice of Ciralinde, so I jumped into my clothes, and went down to get some breakfast.

After eating my fabulous meal, loafs of bread, with kagouti slices, and fried kwama eggs, I headed up to my closet, and picked up three of my priceless weapons, and went down again.

-"Ok, Menelras, untill i can buy weapons, you'll carry the bow of shadows, there is quite a few arrows up in the weapon case, in my room, consider them yours".

Davina, I do not have any shields at the moment, but I gift you this weapon..."I presented her with my axe. "This is Icesting, it was my very first weapon, here on the island, you may keep it", she accepted the ancient axe with shivering hands, thanking me with a weak voice.

-"And for you Manilian, I want you to acompany me to an armourers shop, there you will be allowed to chose an armour, and two weapons to be yours entierly, so be ready, we leave in half an hour"...."Davina, you are in controll here while we are away".

Half an hour later, we left for the ton of Balmora. There we visited Meldor, a bosmer smith, but he did not have what Manilian was searching for. That happened at the towns of Suran, Ebonheart, Vivec and Gnisis, but then a sudden stroke of inspiration came to me.

-"Manilian, how would you like a suit of Orcish armour"?..."Oh, that would be perfect wizard Delvanni", he said.

-"Well then, take these three-thousand septims, and buy yourself a weapon, and meet me at Tel Delvanni at midnight"...."Oh yes, sure thing Ser Delvanni". then he left, and I opned up a way to Vivec.

When I came there, I decided that I should finish this Seven graces thing, so I bought a levitate potion, and found the first shrine in Vivec. The Shrine of Daring, was located at the east side of the High fane, and after giving the potion to it, I suddenly found myself floating in the air, levitatin...damn, I hate levitating when I have no need for it...well well, this would be an airy day.

Then I walked over to the Palace itself, and gave 500of my precious coins, and I felt...healthyer, and totally ready to find the last one that was located at Vivec. After reading in the pilgrims path, I discoverd that I had to search in the puzzle channel, o great wandering in the sewers...just my thing.

I resisted the urge to vomit, as I enterd the filthy waters of the third level in the puzzle channel, and just out of lucky guessing I had chosen the right place to enter. In the middle of the walkway between the two drains, there was a grate that lead into a large room. I walked up to the platform in the middle of the room, but I saw that to come to the place I was supposed to go, was blocked off by a powerfull magical barricade, so I searched in the pilgrims path for some clues, it only stood.

. If I was supposed to listen my Telvanni paranoia, I believed the book suggested that I drowned myself....well, what does one not do only to have something to do.

I dived into the waters, and held my breath, after a little pursuading, I blew out, and all air dissapeared from my lungs. I heard the sound of a stone bridge scraping onto stone, and threw my head above the waters, and breahted the in the air of live. The magical barricade was now empty, and so I levitated up. This hall was enormous, and could easily have my tower standing in upright position, and still have room for more. When I entered the room of the dremora Krazzt, I knew that I was supposed to give him a silver longsword, and I suspected thaat there was one in that chest, standing beside him. True enough, there was not one, but four of them, so I just grabbed them all, and gave one to him.


-"Thanks mortal, you have shown valour, to an enemy and given him a chance to defend yourself, now read the shrine inscription, to fulfill your task".

I read the insciption, and recieved the blessing, and when I was going to swim out again, I knew that I had been given a swift swim blessing. Next on the list was to the fields of kummu, so I stopped in on an apothecary before running in the air to reach the fields. While I was nearly there, I realised with a shock that the levitate spell stopped working, it had been finished. True enough I was over the water, but the force of the impact made me loose my breath, and I managed to swim ashore(barely). I took a few minutes to settle down, and relaxe before trying to find this shrine. I found it after searching for about an hour, and dropped off the muck that it demanded, and read the inscription.

Next one, Ghostgate, since the shortest way was from Ald Rhuun, I translocated there, and went out on the long hike. My trip there was...uneventfull, unless you count about two cliffracers, I finally stood in the temple of Ghostgate.

-"Exuse me sera", I asked the woman closest to me. "Where is the pilgrimage shrine, I need to fullfill the seven graces"?.

-"Ah, you're a new member aye, the shrine is inside the ghostfence, just walk up, untill you come to a fork in the road that turns to the right, then you should be ok".

I thanked her, and headed out, in the nast storm that was breewing up, and walked insed the Red Mountain area. I do not know how long I had been walking, and sometimes even climbed up the hills of this cursed volcano, all I know was that I had not seen this fork, due to the storm, I could only see three maby four feet in front off me...luckily this also hid me from whatever nasty creatures that was out there.

I suddenly fell forwards, and must have hit my head, beacuse when I woke up, I felt blood flowing slowly from the left side of my head. The storm had eased, and I could see a large crater filled with bubbling lave, merely feet from me, so that explained the heat. I rose up, and picked up my weapon tha was laying on the ground, but then I realised what weapon it was.....


-"Telina, you must listen to me, allow me to make you powerfull, to fill you up with powers to terrible to imagine, I...."

-"SHUT UP", I yelled to the sword, who stopped talking. Looking at it, I realised this blade was to powerfull and terrible to be allowed in the hands of others. I looked at it again, and threw the Umbra blade with all of my force into the big lava pool in the middle of the crater.

Feeling rather good at what I had just done, I backtracked my way down to ghostgate again, I felt rather stupid, as I saw the fork the temple woman had talked about, was about some onehundred paces away from the gate, but well, finally it was time to finish this damned quest, so I dropped of a soul gem, read the inscription, and transported myself to Suran, as I had some unattended buisness there. I walked over to the spot where Umbra had died. His corpse was still there, and after stripping him of his armour, I made a burial mound, and paid my last respects to this powerfull warrior.

When I arrived at Tel Delvanni, I saw that construction had started on some houses around my own Tel, and after giving a few nods to the workers, I walked into my house. When I entered the kithcen, I saw manilias sitting on a chair, while Ciralinde, was trying to fix his arm, with a wery unsucsessfull attemts, he had a large gush in his arm, but it did not seem to serious, so it was a simple matter for me to heal it, with some good restorative spells.

-"Thanks Ser Delvanni", he muttered. "I have been visiting various dwemer ruins, thats how I got this last wound here". So together, I have managed to collect two dwarwen claymores, two spears, maces, shortswords, one hallbeard, three war axes, one battle axe, one hammer, and something that must be considered as a real artefact, I have found two dwemer longswords, they are considered as unexisting, but I managed to find them".

-"I have also collected a little fortune for you in dwemer coins, about ninehundred of them, so tomorrow, if you so wish, I can teach you in dual wielding shortswords, but you will also have many hours with strength training".

I just stood there dumbfounded, he had spent one day and found so many dwemer artifacts. I dropped the orcish armour on the floor, and told him that it belonged to him, as did the dwemer weapons, and so I would only use them for training, untill I found my own. I ate my supper in silencec, thinking of what I had done this day, I had moved onto the part of the temple, possibly for having a wish to belong to a religion, faith call it watever you want, and I had also disposed of, and hopefully destroyed one of the most powerfull swords in history...not a bad day. I thanked Ciralinde for the food, and went back to bed again.

Ok, so I hoped you will enjoy this one. Oh and thanks for coming back Kiln, I hope you decide to finish your story after all, as it is one of my favourites. It's good to see you back again.

Busy day, eh? I really liked the update. Though I still wonder just where he found all that Dwemer stuff.

Well,I finally managed to pursuade my doctor to be allowed to write on a computer, as I had a work accident, and am now writing with elleven stitches in my hand...but you lot are worth it.So please enjoy.

When I woke up the following morning, The breakfast was already waiting for me…some baked bread, and scrib jerky. I stepped outside a bit, and there Manilian was training already…it was six in the morning, and already he was outside running in a full set of Orcish armour, geered up to the teeth with dwemer weapons, and he was running dodging, doing rolls jumps and fighting invisible opponents, I saw that this was a man who had been greatly admired and respected, his shape was unquestionable and refined, and his skills with the blade, was…well just spectacular.

-“Good morning Manilian, are you ready to give me my training lessons”?, I asked him with a joking kind of voice.

-“Oh yes, Telina, I’m ready…the question is, are you ready…we wont take any breaks before noon”, ok, so he was going to train me non-stop for six hours…definitely he had been a good legioneer.

I realised that when he meant training, he wanted me to come into shape first…I had always considered me as a woman in tip top shape, he proved me wrong. We spent three hours just running around my land, and after that it was into the obstacle course he had prepared for me. Over and over again, I went through the course, swinging from ropes held by pillars standing high up, jumping over walls and other obstacles, crawling under thorn bushes, being held about some fifteen inches over the ground. It was the hardest day I have had in my life, and when we had the first brake I was ripped up by thorns, my clothes was in shreds and I had dirt and dust all over me, sweat running down my face…while he was merely having a little shade of pink in his cheeks. I had to admit that there was no way I could have any hopes in defeating this man for the next years, but maybe one day I would be able to best him in duel.

After ten minutes, the brake was obviously over, and we went through the same program again, having another ten minute break every fifth hour, and when I went to bed that day, I felt….well just dreadful, I had trained for an entire day, and had aches all over me. The next day came without any mercy to me, and we spent the next day repeating the exercises done the day before, and again I went to bed full of aches…but I insisted to do this…I would become great, but in order to do that I had to get in shape. We spent two entire weeks doing this…day out and day in we trained, and slowly I found myself become even faster more enduring, and my strength had to increased by the ten folds…at least I felt that way. But what I needed was combat training, and magical training…sure I was handy enough when it came to daggers, and I knew some nasty spells, but still there was this little piece missing.

We spent another month training entirely with short blades…or the dwemer short blades to be correct. I became better and better, but although I was now a skilled fighter with the dwemer blades, I had still much to learn about the use of a blade…for all I knew there was ten different fighting techniques or styles some might call it, when it came to the dual wielding of short blades…I only learned two of them…the aggressive one called the blows of the wind. You concentrated on delivering a storm of hissing blade attacks, and it fitted me since I still lacked the brute strength most experienced fighters had, so I just liked that this style was about the use of speedy attacks to confuse or scare the enemy until he did a mistake…only then were you going to put in the death move.

The other one was mostly a parrying technique, while most fighters hold their guard around the torso area, this technique demanded that you held the blades high over your head in order to deliver strong parry’s or block’s and then give them a furious counterattack. This one required a bit more strength rather than speed, but I would manage. It took me nearly three months in total with training with short blades and the other training, before I felt confidant enough to use the techniques. I had decided that I wanted to stay away from Telvanni business for a while, and instead concentrate on helping the people by doing good…and what would fit more than continue on my path within the temple. I had received a Dunmer woman named Raina Assemaras, a lawman of the house, she had been hired by Llunela Hleran to be the manager of my stronghold, so I could concentrate on other things. I had also been given a hooded Telvanni cloak, as all cloaks made to represent a house, it was dark brown with golden symbols on it, Mine told the name of the house, my name, and my rank in the house.

So after telling my employees goodbye, I left for Balmora, but it was quite rainy there, and I was in the mood for a drink, so I entered the eight-plates to have a little “something”.

-“Bartender, give me a glass of mazte fast”, I said without removing the hood.

-“As you wish…Telvanni”, he muttered.

I sipped my mazte, and happened to overhear a conversation between the mers opposite me. “Oh yeah…I heard that it was an argonian that killed Hlaalo, not a Dunmer…I mean would a faithful mer kill one of his own people…I think not”, one of them said.

I gave out a snort of laugh, and turned my head towards them…..”Not kill one of their own, I think you have miscalculated a little bit there serjo…here on this bloody island you have to watch your back from your own brothers, I hardly think that the Dunmers would not kill other Dunmers…if they had the right contacts”.

-“Hey, Telvanni, let me give a good advice….SHUT UP”.
“Wait amoment…Telina Delvanni, I heard that Larrius Varro up at the fort wishes your aid on a matter…but he did not wish to tell what it was”.

I drunk up my mazte, and left the building after paying a huge amount of “extra gold”. So this Varro wanted me…could it be about me killing that guard and escaping that time…or was it something else. I said some words that wont fit in here due to the language , but I used the time walking up to the temple, cursing many a thing that was under imperial rule.

I finally came to the temple…but sadly they did not have anything for me to do…but I could always check up in Ald Rhuun for a mission there, so I shrugged, and spoke the cantrip that would take me there

Ok, so that was all for today.,..but I will write more in the closest future...friday that wouldbe...I think:unsure:.
