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.

Update time.


And he did indeed come, only that this time, he was not in his armour, he was in a dark travel worn cloak, and he had a big claymore hanging on his back. Come with me, quickly, he whispered. And then he started walking towards the sewers, what a strange place or a Royal Guard to go. Nevertheless I followed him through some of the long passages, and I know that I would never find that place again, if I was not given a map.

After walking for about half an hour, he stopped in front of a wall, looking at the strange carvings, before he pressed one of them…and to my big shock, the wall leaned in, and disappeared, and I looked into a big and well lit room. He grabbed me by my arm, and dragged me in, before he put me down in a chair before a desk, and bade me to sit, until his master came to see me.

The time went by, and finally, a redguard came towards me, I knew I had seen him before, it was the Kings champion, Karrod, but I thought he was a mute, I was wrong.

-“Miss Delvanni, you might want to hear what this is all about”.
“I am a part of a secret brotherhood, one who serve the King, and the case is that Tienus Delitian claims that we are traitors, and disloyal”.

-“It is not as you think…Helseth is not in command here at Mournhold, Tienus Delitian is, most of the guards are completely loyal to Tienus, and when Tienus control the guards, he control Helseth’ life, if Helseth do not do as Tienus wish, then the queen Barenzia, will most likely have an “unfortunate accident”, and the same will happen to the King”.

-“So, I wish for you to help us…I have this paper here, it contains some names, and some info that have been faked, Tienus will most likely find it interesting, so he’ll deal with the wrong guards, and that gives us a little bit of an advantage”.

Ok, now I was beginning to get confused, Helseth was not the cold blooded murderer I thought of him to be, and there was conflict between the Royal Guards, a conflict that could well end up quite bloody, and here I was gonna be smacked straight in the middle of it, I just knew that would happen.

-“So, His Royal Majesty, wishes for you to become a member of the white tree, the order made to protect him, a few of us are royal guards, the rest work as cleaners, carpenters and such…always stationed at the palace, so we are ready for anything”, he smiled hopefully at me, and even added some really cute puppy eyes…typical, I can never say no when a person looks at me with such eyes.

-“What would you have me do”?, I asked him.


-“Ok, you are now induced to the order of the white tree, this is our home base, so you’ll report to me, or any other master here…our liege wishes for you to continue to work for Delitian, and report anything suspicious to us…so welcome, you are now a part of Morrowinds biggest spy network”.

Holy crap, me a spy…wait ah I forgot, I am already, I always forget about me being a blade…something that I hope will never be found out by any other person…so now I was spy for the King as well, also a member of the temple who wished for the King to pack his sack, and leave for good, as well as a spy for the Emperor….a it too many conflicting loyalties for my taste, but I swore on that day that I would have my revenge, sooner or later.

I left Karrod, and was given a map, unreadable for any other than a person being a member of the White Tree, it showed the exact position of the headquarter, something that suited me, as my sense of direction is comparable of that of a guar(if not even less). So I teleported back to the surface, and made sure to loose the stolen Royal Guard armour, just in case Delitian was missing a guard.

To see his big ogryn face, turn into the same colour as afresh tomato, was refreshing really, and he was shaking on his hands, when he turned his head to me again.

-“I…I ha-have just gotten in-information that the widow of the former King Llethlan m-m-might be forming a conspiracy against me…I mean the King, f-find out anything you can about it”, he said, his vice trembling…clearly he was shocked that some of his…ah…”trusted guards”, would go against him.

I particularly liked the mention of all the conflicts that the character has in this update, I just caught up with you and I'm still impressed by the amount of emotion and content in each update. Keep up the good work. smile.gif
