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".

So, since Telina is starting on a whole new path now...the Tribunal Temple actually, this is the last update, of the second chapter,which is now complete. The first update at chapter three will come soon enough,meanwhile, I hope everyone enjoyed to read this chapter, as much as I enjoyed writing it, and reading your replies.

Thanks to all of you who replied, and all of you who haven't replied, but still read it.


As I walked towards the ruin Maelkashishi, I pondered on what I should do with my life. I had come quite far in house Telvanni, and had now started on the temple, but still, when I had done what I could, what should I do?

I had walked for several hours, before I stood before the mighty ruin. Oh damn, Tulsa had not told me that it was a daedra ruin…I hated those ruins. The tall teeth looking spires, the large domes, all the funny angles and ovals, they just gave me the creeps…always. I spent a liuttle time searching for entrances, I found two of them…great now I even had to choose what scary door I had to go into…great, just my luck.

I went for the door that stood higher over the ground…my bad. I had just entered before I stood face to face with a creature, I had heard about. The winged nightmares was supposed to be some of the most dangerous creatures in the mundus, and here I stood with my nose, merely inches away from it.

-“OH SH”, it attacked me with huge rendering claws, and I felt my left pauldron get clawed of. “IT”; I screamed, and backed away from the creature. I looked behind it…hmm several quite spiky things on the opposite platform, hmm that’s an idea. I jumped to the side, and ran all I could towards the edge of the platform I stood on, and turned around. The daedra came flying towards me with ferocious speed, and the screams was amongst the most vicious I have ever endured. Just before it reached me, I dropped to the floor, and waited for the result. It realised that it came flying towards some VERY large and sharp spikes, a little to late, and I became quite satisfied when I heard the meaty thud, that comes when something sharp penetrates soft flesh.

I stood up again, and looked down, the hall that was below me was quite empty of, at least human life, the only thing that was down there was a bit to many daedra for my taste. I was about to go out and try the other entrance when my curiosity came back, the platform opposite me had some VERY intriguing stairs that led to a chamber higher up. I looked over, it looked as I could make the jump, a little jump potion made sure that I made the jump in safety. I might have mentioned before that I have a very destructive curiosity, well this time I was rewarded actually. In the chamber at the top, I found a daedric longbow, eight daedric arrows, and two dwemer short swords that was enchanted, one it seemed had a paralyzing spell, the other would do poison…ah a perfect fit for me, in other words.

After backtracking my way to the other entrance, I finally found the orc.

-“What are you doing here scum”?, so she was not to happy to see me.

-“I’m here to treat you from your disease”, I chanted the words of the cure blight spell, and I saw the face of the orc lighten up. “This is where I’ll be going I said, as I noticed all the members inside the ruin was now enclosing on me with weapons drawn.

-“Oh no I think not”, she said. “We need human sacrifice to give to our lord Molag Bal”, she smiled with a psycho grin at me, and slowly started to unsheathe her sword.

Of the fight inside that ruin, I’d rather not talk about, since the memories of the mindless slaughter that happened that day, still hunts me. What I can say though is that the Monarch and I managed to persuade the members, only the orc was spared, since I was supposed not to kill her.

I paralyzed her, and marked my location. Then I took on my new ring, and found myself in the dwemer library…I was not surprised to find Baladas there, and he was more that willing, to let me take some of the highly explosive satchels with me. Then I translocated me back to the ruin, since the orc was now standing, I had to paralyze her again. While she was still paralyzed, I tied he up to a pillar on the outside, and walked back in.

After studying the architecture for a while, I started to place the satchels at key pillars and supporting beams, this took me nearly seven hours, and I was happy with the result though, when I stood outside with the orc, and lighted the fuse. I was ready this time, so I closed my ears, but was still blasted off my feet when the explosion came. The whole ruin collapsed, and big parts of the mountain it was standing in with it. Well no more nefarious practises in that ruin at least, I told myself.

I took hold of the orc, and spoke up the Almsivi intervention spell, that I had on a scroll. A quick swoop, and we were standing in the temple in Ald Rhuun. Tuls was impressed after hearing what I had done, and grateful for me “cleansing” the unholy shrine. He gave a quick handmotion, and the orc was taken below, to “repent her sins”, meanwhile me and Tuls, had a splendid dinner, on which I got advanced to Initiate, and given one of the normal brown robes you get in every faction. I bade him farewell, and travelled back to my stronghold, on where I hung up my Telvanni robe in my closet, and took on the Temple one instead.

The day had been long, and I fell asleep while I was reading one of my books…or so I believe..
