You know the drill, I finish one story and begin with the next. Meet my latest character and headremover, Morvayn Dres.


In the service of a fallen god.

Morvayn Dres took two deep, silent breaths. He filled his lungs till they were about to burst. In one smooth motion, he stepped out of the shadows behind the pillar and drew his sword at the same time, already swinging it at his first victim before the Orc could blink. He pressed the point of his saber in the arm beneath the pauldron, just deep enough to draw blood. Smoothly, he pulled his sword back a bit, flicked his wrist to aim the blade and performed a backhanded slash that neatly separated the head from the neck.

The entire time between Morvayn stepping into view and the Orc’s head flying away could be counted in a single heartbeat. The other Orcs in the room hadn’t noticed anything yet. Morvayn calmly walked towards the back of the nearest one. He enjoyed the look of surprise and then horror when the Orc turned around. Behind Morvayn, the corpse of his first victim noisily dropped to the floor.

,,In the name of my lord, I bring justice! You will join your unholy master in Oblivion!” Morvayn shouted and raised his saber. He ducked the Orc’s warhammer and cut through his opponents legs. He raised himself, cut off another head and turned towards his next victim. Magical mist poured out of the two Orcs and entered the man who had slain them.

Morvayn felt the mist filling his veins and with it, the power it gave him. When he was two steps away from the third Orc, he acted. He moved faster than anything the Orcs had seen before. In their eyes, he was death turned into flesh and blood, with a grim face they only knew too well. All three remaining Orcs died before they could raise their weapons.

The power his sword had granted him fled and he turned to watch how the corpses fell to the floor. Morvayn removed his helmet and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His red eyes blazed with a fanatical anger when he turned to the statue that dominated everything else in the room. If it was meant to intimidate, it failed to serve its purpose on the Dunmer.
,,Mehrunes Dagon, this shrine shall no longer worship you. For the glory of my lord, I have brought justice.” He said to the four-armed statue of the Daedra and walked out of the room.

Outside the shrine, his face was covered by his helmet again. He gave a few quick orders to the group that had waited outside for his return. Morvayn had concluded they would only get in the way during the fight and told them to stay at the entrance.
,,You, pick up the heads of the outlanders and put them on stakes in front of the entrance. That should serve as a warning to any cultist who wishes to rebuilt the shrine. The rest of you, destroy the shrine. When we leave, I want that accursed place to be in pieces.”

Kiln, I will accept your apology if you promise me one thing. Please continue your excellent work with the Eldest councillor.

Alright, time to continue. I might post another update tonight if I'm lucky. I'm going to do the best I can with the finals. Why? Because a Luper is in it and guys called Luper deserve a good fight.


Morvayn spent the rest of the day in his room. His conversation with Luper had made him feel uneasy.
,,Did he lie to me?”
He shook his head at that thought. During the years he’d learned when people lied and when they didn’t. Luper hadn’t lied, but he hadn’t told the full truth either. One thing was sure, the Redguard was a lot more than he was willing to show. With more questions than he could answer, Morvayn fell asleep.

,,Morvayn of House Dres. Heed the call of your master!”
Morvayn opened his eyes. He found himself floating in an empty space, suited in his Ordinator armour. In front of him, the divine shape of Vivec revealed itself. Morvayn kneeled in the air and bowed his head.
,,Lord Vivec.”

,,You are in a place I myself have created for the sole purpose of communicating with those who serve me. In here, time has no meaning. If I could, I could teach you my lessons for a thousand years and not a single second would have passed in Tamriel. Now, have you reached Sentinel?” The god spoke and waited.
,,Yes, lord. I have successfully made the journey. The competition has been fierce. Out of fivehundred competitors, only two remain. The finals shall be held tomorrow, in front of king Arthago.”

,,Good. Now Morvayn, do you believe you can find the right men to accompany you into the treacherous Black Marsh?” The god asked.
,,I do have several candidates. One of them shall fight in the finals tomorrow.”
,,Refuse him if he wins. With victory comes pride and glory. You will not be able to travel fast when your companion is well known. Now rest, Morvayn of House Dres. Tomorrow, the journey shall begin. The High Ordinator shall require all of his strength for the challenge that awaits. Fear not, for my blessing shall be with you.” The living god faded from view and Morvayn returned to his slumber.
