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".

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.

CODE

Spellwright Telina Delvanni of house telvanni. Your stronghold is proceeding, but we need you to get some more experts about the construction of walls, armouries and barracks, we also need you to check on the proceedings of the construction, and send back a report to me.  

From Llunela Hleran.

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.
