Ok, so just a small one today, as this is all I managed to write at this time...



The Tale of Telina Delvanni. Chapter 4. Mournhold, city of light city of magic.



I was surprised by how much longer the teleportation was, compared to the other one’s I had made…I guess travelling over longer distances took longer time. When I had managed to get a look at the room I stood in, I was dumbfounded…sure I had heard of the beauty of Mournhold Almalexia, the city of Lady Ayem…but nothing could prepare me for the sight.

The floor was made up of huge brass and black coloured tiles. The recesses filled with silver, and the walls was of some dark green stone. Gold metal bandings spread along the wall in mid height, and they was crested with rubies and emeralds…Never have I seen such a beautiful room as the throne room though…large round, blood red coloured pillars stretched themselves up to the roof, which had a painting of the battle at Red Mountain…the King was not here, but a Man that seemed to be slightly more significant than the other guards there…I figured that out with all the gold and silver bandings that decorated his armour.

Have I mentioned how much I hate the Royal Guard armour…it have an unsettling colour of…dried blood, the helmets are so tight that you cant see the face of the guard either, and I always get a shock when I suddenly stand nose to nose with one…but enough of that. The imperial seemed reluctant to speak tome, although I could see his eye flickering around the room…as if he was looking for escape routes…hmm, strange. I opened my mouth, but he cut me off…”Excuse me, I have much to do…get out of the throne room”.

Fine, he did not want to talk to me…well, no need for irritating him, as the enchanted Daedric Dai-Katana at his back, was clearly vibrating by all the power contained. As I was in the courtyard, I suddenly realised there was two doors, and with me hating to guess at things like this, I asked the old Imperial sitting on the flowerbed, where to go.

Plitinius Maro, was his name…and I suddenly realised that I stood and talked to the famous writer of the Real Barenzia novels…I may have mentioned before my love for books…it is a hobby of mine that have helped me much with decreasing the number of money in my bank account…but to actually talk to the writer of a book series that I loved was thrilling. We had talked a long time, before I mentioned the subject of the brotherhood being after me…since he could not do anything else than to tell me that they was supposedly in the Great Bazaar sewers, I should contact the temple, as maybe they could help me out. I had just started to walk towards the entrance to the temple courtyard, when a Cyrodiilic voice came tome.

-“Excuse me ma’am, but do I understand you correctly that you’re going down to the sewers”?…”As a matter of fact you did, how’s that”, I asked back, trying to keep the bitterness in my voice to the minimum.

-“Well, I wondered if you would like a companion, I am a good fighter, can carry heavy loads, and I know the sewers well enough, for your needs”. “Now before you answer, there are some rules, I don’t work for free, so I’ll need 250 septims a month…you’re free to give me new equipment anytime you want, and also take equipment…as long I have my gold, and at least 500 septims worth of equipment…so what do you say…we got a deal”.

Ok…he wanted to be my personal bodyguard for an entire month…for only 250 septims…best deal I’ve ever made…I shook his hand, and gave him the gold…after that I gave him some 2000septims, to get equipped and ready for action…Then we parted, and I entered the temple courtyard.

hihi...here we go again, I'm really in the mood to write today


As I walked towards Velas Manor, two things came in my mind, would I ever prove myself to the King, and what was I going to do with my life...I mean I cant wander around in Mournhold for the rest of my (hopefully) long years.

I was actually taken quite aback when we entered Godsreach....gigantic houses, made of golden and jade stone, was on raised platforms, and a long wide aisle was cleaving the ingenious platforms in two...one platfrom had the craftsman hall, the museeum of artifacts and wild guar on it....while the other one had several large manors.

I went for the manors, and looked around, hoping that the luck from the now dead Geanors amulet would help me yet again, I took the first manor to the left. and naturally, the door was locked, but by some miracle I had this key that I fond on Ovis...and with my new found luck (compliment from Geanor) it fitted. I twisted the key, and opned the door.

The manor was well lit, and filled with bookshelfs, chests and wardrobes, Calvius shouted with happyness, as he opned a chest that was filled up to the edge with Septims, and diamonds and such, while I, I grasped for my new Ebony Broadsword, as I had a VERY bad feeling about this place. And I was right as usual, down from the stairs came Ovis, but now he was different, the way he walked clearly radiated with power, and it was a feeling of incredible self control he hhad in his face...and his eyes, I had seen eyes like that before, they had the same spark as Baladas, only not as clear...but nevertheless, this was a powerful individual.

-"I though I just killed you", I said with a slight tremble in my voice, if this came to be a battle with magic, I was crystal clear about who the winner would be, and it would certainly not be me.

-"Oh, I'm afraid that you killed my brother, Ovisis my twin, but he was sadly for his part, born without the magical talent I inherited, and he have had a great liking to pretend to be me....only in this case you killed him, instead...so therefore I must kill you", he said with a sly smile on his mouth.

-"Wh-wha...I just defended myself, why would you kill me".

-"Beacuse I am a Theurgist, and I do not allow people to kill my family members, that is unacceptable...defend yourself".

I had not the slightest idea, of what a Theurgist was, but the fiery spell he sent towards me, told me that it was something incredibly powerful wizar type. The fiery beam of fire flew past me, and hit the wall, a large explosion came, I was knocked of my feet, and looked back...the wall was slowly melting, and I saw that about half of the building wall, was glowing red.

I rose up, just to see he waved his hands in some strange circules...suddenly I saw two Ogryns, one Golden Saint, and two Clannfears stand beside him.

ok...dont panic, this is just my imagination going far beyond what is normal , the large fist that hit my chest proved me wrong, and i felt several ribs crack, as i was flew through the stone wall, and landed outside the halfly burning manor.

I whinched, as I gulped down a healing potion again, this was even more painful than just healing flesh, healing bones was nasty buisness indeed...so I walked back in again, this time I was angry. I threw the Ebony Broadsword straight towards the Golden Saint, the blade made a swooshing sound, but did not stop on the metallic surface of the saint, instead it landed several feet behind, embedded in one of the Clannfears, and suddenly the head of the Golden Saint just fell off, and it dissapeared in a swhirl of stars and golden dust.

I grabbed the Mace of Molag Bal, and walked directly towards Velas, holding the mace above my head. I do not remember what happened after that, only that Azura spoke with me. "Telina, trust me, close your eyes, I shall guide you".

From what I have heard from Calvius, my eyes darkened, and I fought myself through Velas' monsters, with inhuman strenght and speed, and that sceared the spit out of me...I did not like the though of an ancient Aedra goddess taking control of my body and mind.

I walked a bit silent, back to the museeum, waiting for Indrano to come.
