Good, Tellie. We...... ok, i thought you'd left..... oh well, good to see you back!

Glad to hear you're still working on this story. I'll be looking forward to the update.

Here we go.


-"Ah Telina, welcome back...I was almost beginning to think you had run into trouble", he said with a mock worried expression. I grinned smugly at him. "Tharer dear, I NEVER look for trouble, trouble just always seem to know where I am for most of the time...I like a quiet life you know".

He snorted, but managed to hide his laugh behind a large cough. "True, but still your ability to make it out of trouble earns you the rank of Curate, and this sword here" he handed me a sword with some rather nasty lightning spel on it. The sword itself was just a regular steel one, with enchantments, a fitting gift to Salina I guess, after all she ahd to earn her weapons and armour if she were to borrow any from me.

-"Now, I have one last mission to you...a bit south from your stronghold, there is a Dwemer ruin called Galom Daeus, that is a vampire lair, and I want you to kill the leader Raxle Berne, I have a few gifts for you as well, take these, and may Vehk bless you".

I accepted the (massive) hammer, THE Veloths judgement actually, a rather nice ring, and a handy healing belt. I bade him goodbye, and activated my stronghold ring. I quickly explained the situation to Manilius, and he just nodded, and left. A few moments later he was back in full equipment, dwemer claymore in his hands...I just smiled, the vampires would never know what hit them.

Finding the ruin wasn't so hard, considering I ahd seen it earlier from the top of my Tel. finding Berne proved more difficult however. In the first room, a female vampire ran at me and Manilius, but by some twist of fate (or the fireball I sent9, she stumbled on the edge of a lava pit, and was burned to death by the molten rock.

I and Manilius continued to sneak through the ruin, I looked around the corner, and my face stood a few inches from a vampire.

-"Er...I dont think you are allowed to be here", the vampire said shyly. "Oh really, well if I can say so, this ruin happens to be on my land, so therefore it is perfectly my buisness to be here", I snapped.

-"Fine fine...I hate being a vampire, I thought it would give me advantages, but no, I cant even get laid, and everyone shuns me", he continued complaining, and everyone who knew me would have run away fast after seeing the evil smirk on my face.

-"You know, I have a solution to your problem" I said seductively. He turned around looking hopefuly at my face, I smirked again, and then, whiped the concealed dagger I held in my hand across his throat. He treshed around a bit, before he turned to ashes.

Soon we came to a crossroad, with two sets of dors, I pointed at the door n front of us, and Manilius nodded, slowly opening the door and entering, closing it fast again. I turned around to the other door to my right, and began inspecting it.

I could feel it was traped, quite heavily too, I ran my hands over the rough surface. I felt my magic inside my, and tried commanding it, willing it to pour into the door, disarming the trap. Imagine ,my shock when it worked, a quick 'click' told me the dor had been unlocked, and the trap was gone as well, no magic remained.

I downed an invisibility potion, and snuck carefully through the corridors, until I found a door that was laden with protectieve wards...a thiefs true challenge. But I am not called who I am for no reason am I, so after again willing my magic to break the wards, and lock the door opened, with me feeling a bit drained.

[b]-"What do you want"[/i] said an ice cold voice, which I realised ahd to belong to Berne.

-"I want you dead Berne, so...lets dance", I yelled at him, while I sent a fireball, and fired two bolts at him. He dodged the fireball, along with the first bolt, but the second one hit him squarily in his chest.

And so began a game of cat and mouse...where I certainly was the mouse. berne had lunged towards me with unnatural speed and agility, his bare fist with claws three inches long, hitting and cutting towards me. I dodged and blocked all I could, but the strength and speed of the vampire was too great, and soon I was lying on my back, hile he stood over me with a superior grin.

Somehow the book of Forgotten Magic, which Zurin had given to me long time ago was lying in front of me, and it had...opened. I could only see one spell, the description was rather nice though.



Berne suddenly realised what the spell did, and he gulped. "Eh n-n-now l-lets be reasonable, there is no need to use that". Ther rest was cut off, as I had whiped my hand up, yelling 'LUMOS SOLARUM' at the top of my lungs. The light was blindingwhite, and a humming sound permated the air. Once the spell was finished, I was toatally bereft of any magic, and Berne was lying in a pile of dust on the floor.

As I was about to leave, I saw an interesting book on the table. 'Secrets of the Dwemer Anumulculi', shrugging I picked it up, and put it in my bag, and then I sat down supporting myself on the wall, the Book of Forgotten Magic in my lap...

Telina should be commended for her excellent use of magic. However, it does seem convenient that the book opened to the most appropriate spell in her moment of need. Perhaps some greater power is looking out for her?

Thanks for another great update. I hope we'll see another one soon.

Gaenor's luck comes to the resque once more. (That WAS the name of the Bosmer, wasn't it? I'm too lazy to go check it up.)

Heh, I loved those little conversations. Sorry dude, being a vampire is rarely good for your relation.

Remind me to never be a vampire, from reading this I don't like the reprecussions.

Excellent update Tellie. Nice mix of humour and action. And I also agree about the luck of Telina, the spell was really cool though.

*gulp*......this is one lil´brave girl....Vamps are really scary but Telina did handle it in a clever way...as usual! I keep my fingers crossed for her!

Good work Tellie!

Vampires are always good sparring partners, they really test the strength and minds of their challengers. I'm glad I caught back up on this one because the various forms of magic used by the character keep me guessing what will happen next. I really want to see where this story is heading so continue when you can.

Loving the description and the well written fight scenes Tellie, you keep writing and I'll keep reading.

When I read the opening lines, I knew immediatly that you use Pozzo's Rise of Great House Telvanni mod. Excellent usage. Most other fan fictions are completely mod-less, but this one uses a great House Telvanni mod. I applaud you.

I sat there, reading through the most peculiar bok. It was big...BIg several hundred pages, concerning most obscure magic. The most interesting of the easy stuff, was called transfiguration, the ability to transform items into something else, and to conjure up any item possible.

Other interesting things was that of natural and elemental magic. I realised that what Jaron had thought me was nowhere near the same elemental magic instructed in this book. The book explained how you could find your inner elementals, and how to summon them up.

Natural magic was just that...nature, I realised that I could control weather, create winds lightning storms, healing...the book gave me more knowledge than any Telvanni had ever had. My only dissapointment was that I ahd to start small and easy, to build up my magical core, and that the magic would come easier after a while.

I also discovered that I would no longer need to waste time with pointless chanting to make a spell work...only with determined willpower, and a strong desire I could force my magic to produce the results I needed...hehe, fireballs would be much more interesting now.

Remembering my mission, I left Galom Daeus, and I only made a litte stop, concentrating my magic, and again completely draining my core, I managed to conceal the building. Manilius escorted me back to my Tel, where I had the misfortunes of stumbling upon my newest employee. Sevina Delan was a most fuzzy nurse, and wouldnt let me move an inch from bed before I had rested, complaining about magical exhaustion, and uncarefullness.

I made out a littge chuckle at her antics, and as soon as she turned her back, I had translocated to Molag Mar, offering a thanks to whoever foul god saved me from the nurse. Tharer was more than pleased with my mission, and told me that his dor was always open, but sadly he had no more missions for me.

I decided to try my luck with Tuls Valen in Ald Rhuun again, and to my big surprise the only thing he had left was a mission to cleanse the dark cult stationed in Hassour, the cave I had so boldly entered a few weeks ago. The look on his face when I smothly told him that I had decided I needed something to kill my time with and entered Hassour and cleansed it...priceless. But I did get promoted to Disciple though, and a message to go to Ghostgate and talk to Uvoo Laren.

I looked around the temple, before I spotted Uvoo, I had a little chat with her about various things before she suddenly got serious.

-"We need you to go to Tureynulal, and recover the Cleaver of St.Felms, I am of the understanding that you participated in that failed attempt to cleanse the ruin, and so I hope that you will be able to get the cleaver back".

I nodded before I left again. Fuming at the reckless heroics, and idiotic morlas of those wannabe warriors under the name Bouyant Armigers, I went into the Ordinator wault to find some equipment. Seeing as my cuirass was badly tarnished, I exhanged it for a glass one, and I also grabbed a glasshelmet gauntlets and pauldrons. I fitted my theurgist robe over the armour, so the only noticable armour was the helmet and the pauldrons, then I started the long and dangerous trek towards Tureynulal.

With every update, Telina seems to get more and more powerful. I would definitely not want to get on this Dark Elf's bad side!

Another good update

Once again a trip inside the Ghostfence. I'm looking forward to seeing if Telina uses any more spells from her recently rediscovered book.

I had been walking towards Tureynulal for three days, cursing my once again returned bad luck, as I clove me umphteenth cliffracer in two. I really needed some other way, some way to get there fast, so I decided to read in my book, while stopping to break my fast.

I looked at a portion that looked promising, while sipping a bit hot tea.

Teleportation magic was...well wast, and the topics were difficult, but easy to read, and altough it was tedious I learned many ways to travel around now. Sighing after a nine hour readout through teleportation, I packed my book, and prepared.

I closed my eyes, reaching in towards my inner centre, after I had found my magical core, I started to draw out a tendril of magic, working it in delicate patterns, forming complicated runes in the air, while muttering on a long forgotten (recently re-learned by me) language. Sensing that it was now complete, I stopped, and opened my eyes again.

In front of me, in the middle of ashy-hell-nowhere, stood a door. Simply that, a single brown door, reaching out, I grabbed the handle and opened the door, gasping at the sight that met me. In front of me stood the powerful Dwemer ruin citadel of Tureynulal, marveling at my accomplishment, I stepped in, and the portal closed and dissapeared out of thin air.

I looked smugly around, this was great...tiring but great nonetheless, I looked forward to shock Baladas with this. I contemplated my next move, a meal and a little rest was assured before venturing into the ruin at least.I woke after my short rest, and carefully went into the ruin, walking in complete silence not to disturb the creatures, at least I was, until I stepped on the greasy dwemer tube.

Cursing my clumsyness and those damned beffudled fols of creatures that lived here, in quite many different languages, I suddenly realized that I was not alone anylonger...


Ok:I know it's a short one but it's all I could manage right now.

Damn Cliffracers and Damn those greasy Dwemer tubes! Great update Tellie!

I was always rather annoyed about how much walking one must do in the Dagoth Ur region.... Sheogorath Region too. Those spells would be handy!

Good update Tellie!

A short update is better than no update. I'm intrigued by this new teleportation magic; I am looking forward to seeing more of it.

Doors in the sky? Not as flexible as any simple 'jumping' but it sure has some style.

Neat, that definitely shortens on our Telvanni friend's travel time.

Perhaps this bodes for more updates, or just more update that have great action......... I don't care if it's unwise! *Holds breathe* Hope I don't suffacate........... *gurgling noise* That wasn't me..........

O_o.....Telina´s back! Beware all for the mightiest lady of them all! It´s so good to see you back on track here again Tellie!!!!

Telina" Why I'm flattered Minque...finally someone who have realized my potential".

ME"Shut up you....grrrrrr" *throws temper tantrum* Dont listen to her, she's just been way too bored lately...RL is killing my time, so I have little time to write .


In front of me was a pair of rather long and skinny feet. My eyes folowed them upwards, until I was staring into the cold merciless pits of darkness that was Dagoth Tureynul's eyes...oh buggar, just my luck isn't it, I thought to myself.

I took another look around the rom...great an ash vampire in front of me, and surrounded by flesh hungry beasties to boot...the gods are probabarly laughing at me right now. With the agileness of a cat, I jumped to my feet, loking frantically for an exit, as the wall of corprus monsters came closer..."Cant we all just get along"? I asked nimbly while carefully sliping a couple of darts in my hand.

Tureynul just grinned evilly at me, and opened his mouth to speak...just what I needed, getting attacked by foul breath, it did have it's advantages though, like the two darts that penetrated his throat, killing him on the spot.

The corprus monsters stared dumbly at me, wondering most likely if this piece of food, was to smart to walk up to...after all their master had just been killed by it.

I decided to make the decision for them, and started with my favourite sport...fireball throwing. After watching seven of their companiens fall for my o so foul magick, they turned and fled, alowing me to search for that idiotic herocomplexed guy who had lost a Temple artifact.

I found him...or what was left of him in a cellar with a lavapit, but the 'poor' corprus stalker in there, hapened to accidentaly-with-no-interference-from-me-whatsoever, to stumble into the pit. I took the damned cleaver, which happened to be a nice shiny axe, and once again started to draw on my magic, feeding it into the void, so that I could create another portal, once I had done that, I stepped in, and collapsed in front of Uvoo Llaren, in the ghostgate Temple, with the cleaver in my hand.
