Here is the previous one.
The story of Telina Delvanni.Chapter one

Hi, a new chapter is now here, and before we start, I'd like to thank Starge, and the other, who created this site, and made it possible for me to write my tale here.


Chapter 2. Of mad Wizards, duty and faith.

We stood in the center of Baladas study room, at the top of Arvs-Drelen. He looked me sharply in my eyes.

-"Telina, know this, I took you as my mouth, beacuse you need a friend and mentor, an I'm propably the best friend you'll ever have here the next month's, but also beacuse you're an extremely powerfull individual, and after a little training, I believe you'll surpass even the ancient and powerfull Divyath Fyr, and that says quite a bit".

I just stared into his friendly, and knowledegable eyes, totally bereft of words.

-"Now, I have a small chore for you, I am in need of someone to deliver this message to Berel Sala, at Vivec, it explains what happened at the hall-of-justice yesterday".

I stared at him with no small feeling of guilt and confusion.

-"You see, I said that I could find out what caused the big catrastrophe, at the teple, now naturally it is just a big lie as I knew what you did, but I could not let you get caught with it, as that would have cost you you're life". "Now, go and deliever this to Berel Sala, he is currently resided in the Vivec High-Fane".

With that I took my leave, and I deposited most of my personal effects in Baladas studyroom, so that he could study them and maby improve some of it, while I went to Vivec, the only thing I took with me, was my Silver-staff-of-peace; in case the guards in the temple required some sort of identification for entrancance, after such a serious accident had occured.

I walked outside Arvs-Drelen, and accidentlu pushed the into the face of an orc.

-"Watch where you're going" I snapped at her, and then I continued to the silt strider.

-"Under sun and sky mutshera, we greet you warmly, do you want to travel somewhere"? The silt-strider operator, proved to be quite friendly, he even gave a discount for being a telvanni. "Oh, my daugther is in that house, it's quite facinating that house, so what position did you hold in the house, again"?

-"Why me, I'm the mouth of Master Baladas, but I intend to go even further in the house, so right now, I'm on official house buisness, to the Vivec High-Fane".

After some cosy seven hours, we was at Vivec, but he did not land, instead he stopped over the temple.

-"Here, go down by this rope, as I have to hurry up with a shipment to Vos".

I slid down the rope, and my suspicions were soon proved, the temple square was heavyly befested with the guards, whom I'd come to know as Ordinators. I stopped before the netrance to the Vivec High-Fane, and presented me to one of the Ordinators.

-"Telina Delvanni, mouth of Master Baladas in house telvanni, are here to give the investigation report to Berel Sala, and I seek entrance to the High-Fane".

I waited for a minute, while the Ordinator was in the High-Fane Talking. Finally he came out with Berel Sala, who looked on me with suspicion, in his eyes.

-"Ser Delvanni, we cant take anyone into the high fane at the moment, before we have read the report, so hand it over, and take this letter of confirmation back to Master Baladas, as a sign of me have recieved the report".

With that he walked back in again, while reading the report, and since I was in a hurry, I quickly made my way back to Arvs-Drelen, and up to Baladas.

-"Hello Telina, may I have the letter you were given "?

"How in the name of oblivion, does he know things like that, are he telepathic of something", I thought inside me.

-"Yes, Telina, I'm actually quite good in telepathy, and in time I shall teach it to ou, but now, I have prepared you're room, it is the room on your right hand side, when you go into the side corridor, in the first floor, I also strongly advice you to go and rest now, and come back here later, as you need some sleep now".

Oh I'm not at all offended planty...i know Telina was evil there, but it will become les and less evil things from Telina. I have edited a little on the name of a place, instead of Uviriths grave, it's Salendils grave, as Telina's grandfather is buried there. Enjoy.

-"Ah Telina, something on your mind is it"? Baladas asked me in a friendly tune.

-"Well, it's a little problem, the duke wont give me a contract, so I dont know what to do".

-"Oh no, I forgot about that", he gave me one of those mysterious smiles, " your grandfather, was given a construction contract a few months before he died, so hid will instructs me to give it to you". "so all that remains is for you to find some strong souls, to construct your stronghold from", he handed me a contract that was signed by the duke, and it had been issued to a place called "Salendils grave", that was laying far out in the Molag-Amur region.

-"Now Telina, I have heard of an orc that lives in the mountains around Suran, that wields a sword with great soul-capturing abilities, I suggest you find him, kill him and take the sword".

-"But first", he said just as I was about to walk away," how good are you in conjuration, I'm just wondering, as you will have to be able to summon creatures and use their souls".

-"oh my skills in conjuration, is nearly as good as my diplomacy skills, if that tells you anything", i smiled at him, and he quickly took the point that I couldnt even conjure up the pitiest of scamps.

For the next six hours, we trained and studied on all aspects of conjuration, and i started to get the hang of it. Six more hours, and I had managed to summon up a storm atronach that was so powerfull that baladas started to clap form me, and I realised that I had learned more in half a day, than I would be able to learn in half a year with any other trainer. Dead tired I went to sleep.

When I woke up, I found muself at a far better shape than I had been in years, I was faster stronger, and i found out that all of the spells that had seemed ratherdifficoult at first was quite easy, not to mention nearly not draining my magicka at all. Extremely happy with myself, i walked up to have some breakfast, and then I bade Baladas goodbye.

I realised that since I had no spells that would take me to Suran, I would take the silt-strider again. I quickly realised that riding in large giant fleas was not my thing, and the bucket beside me, was used on more than one ocation. Finally after a sickly five hours, we stopped at Suran, and i stumbled my way down to the closest bar to have a little stiffer.

After i entered and had a little look around, i realised why this was called "house of earthly delights", it was a place filled up with strippers, prostitutes and drunken male swines. I walked over to the bar, and after three glasses of flin, I felt in shape again. After a little questioning, i found out that a crazy orc resided in the eastern hills, just outside the town, I then took my leave, and vowed that I never was to enter that place again...so wrong could I be.

When i had walked a little, I decided that I wanted to climb the mountain, instead of spending hours, of searching for a path. So i took out my rope, and tied one of the hooks onto it, and threw it up. it took me quite som time to scale that montain, but it was an enjoyable trip, filled with angry cliffracers and painfull falls. Finally, I found him...he stood there all by himself, and was holding a VERY nasty looking sword.

-"Ah greetings mortal", he spoke with a strange voice...nearly as though he was possessed by some creature. "My name is...Umbra, for years I have battled in hope of finding someone stronger than me...in hope of dying, will you fight me, so that I may have a noble death"?

Ok, he wanted me to kill him, beacuse he had been looking for someone to kill him for a long time...he was crazy, he had definately lost it many years ago.

-"No, I will not kill you, I do net even wish to fight you", I told him, I mean if he had been killing people for years, I did not want to be the next in line.

So therefore, I turned my back on him, and walked away....OK mistake number two, do not turn your back on some crazy big orc with a huge sword. I lost my breath, as something heavy hit my back, and i felt my armour break.

I instinctly rolled to my left, when I hit the ground,and lucky was that as the heavy bled was stabbed deep into the ground where I had just been. With the speed of the wind, I whippd the Ice blade out of its scabbard, and slowly started to circle the big orc, who was having problems with getting his sword out of the ground. I made my move, and swung the ice blade down with all of my force. A huge bang, and I was lying on the ground again, my hands was shaking after the force of the impact, my sword was lying several feet away from me. umbra rose up, and now he was holding that nasty sword in his hands again, but his cuirass was laying all over the place, in tiny ice pieces.

-"Time to die coward", he yelled to me.

-"oghwastyrr ghwytrring", I extended my hand, and out from the rocky ground, came not one...but..but three storm atronachs. I did not understand, how could I summon up three of them, well well, its buisness time.

-"Take him..him him", I shouted, and after a few seconds, I think they got the point, beacuse the atronachs turned around, and started to summon up some large shockballs in their hands.

I ran away a little, and decided to be well away from shock-ball area. Good was that as the whole area was suddenly full of sparkling bolts of lightning, but I could also hear fighting from inside the clouds of lightnings. After what seemed like a minute, it stopped, and the atronachs withered away, left stood Umbra...

He looked at me for a while, before he managed to utter "cheater", then he fell face first onto the ground. I walked over to where his body lay, and nearly vomited again, the stench of burned flesh was searing through the air, and even worse, i had to touch the burnt and quite crispy hand to open it, and take the blade.

I screamed in pain when I touched the sword, it filled my head of visions of eternal battle and bloodshed, of victorious slaughters of any enemy who stood in my way.

-"Ahh so you are the mighty Telina, the orc was weak, but you, you have the powers that I'm looking for". "i am Umbra, bringer of death, join me, do my bidding and i shall award you with immortality, you will get all you ever wished for, join me".

-"NOOOO", I screamed, and then i threw the sword with all of my force away. When i found it again, I took a piece of cloth, so that i wouldnt have to touch it. Then i summoned forth only one storm atronach this time...strange. i pointed my hand towards the river, and the atronach turned away dumbly, I then drove the sword right through the neck of the creature, and after a few seconds, it shrivveled to dust. i felt a warmth emit in my pocket, and i looked into it, there was one of the soul-gems that I had been given, but now it was glowing with barely contained power. I repeated this process, and then i translocated me back to Sadirth-Mora.

So hope you like this one, next one up is on tuesday as normal. All that I'm worried about now is that you will stop reading my story,as Oblivion is about to hit the shelves, and sooner or later the Oblivion fanfics will get out, and propably kick us Morrowind fan ficers out. Nut if you continue, you will se that Telina will end up in cyrodiil, and do the quest in Oblivion...or so I hope
