[minque]

Good thing you didn´t let anything happen to the khajiit........awwww I love kitties...

Anyway it´s good to see this story continue....keep it up Tellie!

[Tellie]

It's coming more tonight, I guess in about 5hours from now(21.30, my time.)

[mplantinga]

A unique and amusing solution to the "Therana problem." I'm looking forward to the upcoming "magic lessons."

[Tellie]

Oki, I know, that I wasn't able to post, like I said I would, a little bit earlyer, as RL ( thanks planty for ttelling me what that means) has required all of my spare time to studies, but now the time is close.

Today, I PROMISE to post another one.

[Tellie]

As promised.

Zurin, was sitting on the chair by the table, with his eyes closed.

-"Well, Telina, what I will show you is not much, as my time is nearly out, here". "The staff is not for me, it is yours, and it shall become a symbol of your authority, the staff is not only a wizards staff, it is the staff of magnus".

-"Before we start, I shall only teach you of one of the three elements, spark, frost or fire wich one do you choose"?

-"I choose spark", I said, eager to learn.

He instructed me in the first of his spell, Boethia's judgment, it took me two hours to master the spell, and I was only given five minutes, to relx before we went on to the next one, called Forked lightning of Tzheentch, and the last spell, the Comet of Kassondra took me over four hours, totally spent I walked up into the guest room inthe second floor and jumped into a comfortable bed.

A little while later, I heard the sound of someone chrashing into the dining table, and I realised what was going on. without a sound, I took up the Skullchrusher, and hid myself up in one of the beams supporting the roof.

A little minute later, three shapes of someone standing under me, stopped and I quickly dropped myself to the floor, chrishing the skull of one of the obvious assasins as i fell.

The two others turned around, to face me, but I was aleredy gone, behind the closet.

-"Quickly, split up, the Night-Mother will kill us if we dont kill Delvanni", one of them said.

And after a little while, one started to walk down the stairs. I sprung out, and smashed the skull chrusher down on the head of one of them, and hid myself again. By the time the last assasin came to his fellow assasin, he was aleredy dead, his head smashed of by the chrusher.

-"I do not believe it" I said to myself, "I waws one of the best in the brotherhood, and now they try to kill me, it's outrageous".

And then I was struck with a terrible thought, Zurin was downstairs, had the assasins killed him? I ran down the stairs, and made sure that I stepped on the assasins, while I was on the way. In Zurins bedroom, I found him on the floor, with blood gushing out of his wounds.

-"Telina" he asid in a weak voice, "there was nothing more that I could teach you, in the chest by the bed, lies a book, named "the Book of forgotten magic", and another book named " Lieber Mortis". "None of the books, will open themselves to you, before you have proven yourselves". "now go, save the people from the curse, that befest us, and prove yourselves for the book's".

And then his eyes, closed and Zurin was gone from the world.

-"NOOOO", I screamed as tears, flowed out of my eyes, I cryed over the man, he had shoved me something no other had shoved me, love. He had cared of me like a friend, and helped me with his council, and now the brotherhood had killed him.

I heard lightning bolts, more powerfull than any other I had heard, and the sky was illuminated by the flashes, that raced across the sky, almost like the lightnings was screaming with anger and pain, in symphony with myself.

I then left the old mer, and walked back to the assasins, and lifted up their right sleves, I saw the tatto of the Dark Brotherhood, clear as light on their wrist, and my heart filled itselves with hatred to powerfull to understand. Butn then again i felt attached to the armour, that I myself had used before, so I took all the armour parts, of the shortest one of them, sake for the helmet and put it on. And after taking a simple black robe over me, and the staff of Magnus in my hand, I walked into the stormy night.

Out there,I walked over to the boatsman, and ordered a trip to Sadrith-Mora. While on the boat, I first examined the staff of magnus, enjoing its strong power, that filled my own powers up as well. After that I looked at the outside of the books, which appeared to be ancient, and the spell on themmade it clear, that the book would not open before it found the carrier of it worthy, with that I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I felt amazingly better in shape, and my sack did not seem so heavy anymore, and as I looked at it, i also found out that my spells, was easyer to cast. After some thirty minutes, I stood on the dock of Sadrith-Mora. and I walked directly to the council-hall, smirking as I saw some of the earlier legioneers, standing naked in the slave cages.

In the council hall, I was greeted by Felissa Ulessen.
-"Well, Delvanni, did you succeed, in yor mission"? "Wait, is that staff, is that staff the staff of Magnus"?

-"Yes, it is "the staff of Magnus", now will I get any advancement for this?

-"S-su-sure, I mean getting "the staff of Magnus", thats l-l-legendary, I name thee Telina Delvanni Oathman of house Telvanni, now do you know how to use Mark and Recall"?

-"No, can you teach me"? I answerd back in a humble tone.

She taugth me how to use the spell, and after that, I went over to another mouth.


I'm sorry for this immensly long post, but i needed to clear up the things, hope you enjoyed it. Replyes is welcome as always.

Very interesting. An unusual idea to give a young mage the Staff of Magnus; used properly it can be a pretty powerful thing. Telina's skills continue to amaze me; taking out three assassins without much effort is certainly a very impressive feat. I am curious about what happened to Zurin; are we to assume he was the assassins' only successful target that night?

[Tellie]

I have now edited the rest of the post, that was supposed to come out yesterday, in the post above. Enjoy.

[mplantinga]

I had assumed that Zurin was probably going to die, but it was still sad to read it and know it for sure. I will look forward to seeing Telina put his teachings to good use. Intriguing that the staff of magnus was so quickly recognized; it must truly be legendary.

[Tellie]

This one I dedicate for Planty, may he heal well. So I hope you like it.

*Offers a toast for planty*


I walked on in the council hall, and stopped before the mouth Arara Uvalas, the mouth of master Neloth.

-"Hello, mutshera, I see that you're progressing, I do have two chores that I would like to have done, are you interested"?

-"Yes, I'm very interested, what are they"?

-"Well, master Neloth wants five sload soaps, and the staff of silver dawn".
"The staff I think you will find in the hands of one of the mages guild members at Wolverine Hall, the soap you should be able to buy from the apothecary Anis Seloth". He then gave me a bag with eighty ten-septim coins, with my ensurances that I would deliver the remaining moneys to him.

With that I took my leave, and as opned the door quickly in my entuhsiasm, it hit somone, and I heard loud swearing from outside the door.

-"D*** be that person who did this". He looked at me and realised that I had pushed the door at him.

-"Do you know what you just did...SCUM", he said, vith a voice that got increasingly louder.

-"Ohh yes, I pushed the door into a stupid idiot, who instead of opening the door stood outside it, and obviously waiting for it to opening itself".

-"Do you know who you're talking to, B*** "

-"There is no need for that language, so call me that again, and you shall regret it".

-"I'm the Arch Magiter of the house, and threaten me again, and I shall personally cut off you, uurrrhg"

I had with the speed of a lightning, pushed the staff of Magnus, up aganst his throat and pushed him up to the wall, while I was slowly choking him. In my hand that I held inches from his face, a big sphere of highly electric lightning, was getting increasingly bigger.

-"Don't ever threaten me again, or I shall not be as forgiving as I'm now".

With that I walked out of the council hall. The weather outsidefitted my mood at the moment, gray and rainy. The happiness of getting advanced was lost, and inside me I had a cold feeling, that messing with the Arch Magister would sooner or later have it's concequenses. I was walking down the street,and I barely notice that the people of Sadrith-Mora was more friendly with me now, some even called me Ser-Delvanni or Miss-Telina, and after a few minutes, I entered the apothecary of Anis Seloth.

-"Greetings, outlander, I think I've heard of you before, now was there anything you wanted from my shop"?

-"Yes, I want five portions of sload soap, for master Neloth", I added.

-"Oh it's for, Neloth, in that case, you shall get the new discount system we have, anything bought for a master, you get for half price, if you can prove it".

My luck, had to be with me, first the soap, wouldnt cost more that two-hundred septims, before the discount and the fact that I had a letter with me, saying that master Neloth wished five portions of sload soap.

I gave her the letter, and and after a little discussion, I walked out of the shop, with five soaps bought for less than a hundred-septims, a real bargain.

I enclosed upon the fort in wolverine hall, and was fo a little while surprised by the lack of guards, before I remembered the fact that the guards couldn't possibly be replaced within three days, and the old ones was still in the slave market. With a big grin I entered the imperial cult, for then getting into the Mages-guild.

-"What are you doing here...Telvanni"? one of them asked in a voice that clearly dripped with intimidation.

-"I'm looking for the staff of silver dawn", I answered back, with a tone that was no better than that which had adressed me.

-"I have the staff, but there is no way that I'm going to part myself with it", she then extended her hand, which shoved that she wanted money for it.

I took up first five ten-septim coins, and then another five, followed by fiteen. At that point she nearly threw it at me.

-"Here, It's not that great a loss", and then she went back to her studies.

I walked back to the council hall, nodding to some of the guards as I went, there in the council hall, I delivered the items to Arara.

-"Fine,now where is the rest of the money"?

-"Spent", I said, barely managing to hold away a big grin.

-"Spent, do you say that you spent eight-hundred-septims, on five soaps and a staff"?

-"Yes, the soap was cheap, but the staff was more difficoult, first I had to bribe two persons to actually tell me who had the staff, and then I had to convience the woman who had it, to seperate herself from it".

-"Well, I guess that would cost a bit yes, now would you want me to teach how to use Mark and recall, and also how to blind your enemies"?

We spent a tme together, untill I had learned the spell, and as revard I was gifted by a glass dagger, and three-hundred septims.

-"Well, arent I going to get some advancement for this"?

-"Oh yes, I advance you to become a lawman of house Telvanni, but you cant advance further, if you dont get a patron to support you further".

I then took my leave, and asked the mouth of master Aryon, Galos Mathendis, if I could have Aryon as my patron.

-"Yes, I believe so, it would give me time to finish my studies, he lives in the tower of Te-Vos, outside of the city Vos, go now I shall send word of your arrival".


I walked back into the pouring rain, and ordered a boat trip to Vos.



So, that was all for tonight, but i shall post another update on Sunday( If I get some replyes that is) or Saturday, so hope you liked it. And again Planty, good luck at surgery, I shall miss you. Replies are welcome as always.

[Elidor]

Ah how i loved doing the Telvanni quests. Some very intuitive ideas for dealing with them gj!:goodjob:

[Tellie]

After i arrived in vos, i had to ask one of the local guards where master Aryon resided.

-"His tower is on the top of that hill, mutshera".

i then started to trudge up the long steep hill, and I noticed that I had a lot of training in front of me, before I came back in shape. At last i reached the top, and was completely breathtaken. Up on the hill stood sometyhing that looked like a crossing between an imperial fort and a telvanni tower.

After a few minutes, I pulled myself together, and instead started to wonder how I could get up to him, without spending one of my preciouss potions. But after a minute, I took a carefully measured gulp of one of the potions, and walked up to the doorway, and entered.

I quickly found Aryon, he stood in the middle of his room, and greeted me with his arms open, but there was something about his smile, that worried me.

-"Ahh Telina, welcome". "I am, as you propably know Master Aryon, now I know you are searching for someone to be your patron, if you do a little job for me, I shall be your patron in the house".

-"Here is what you must do, in the town of Gnisis, there is a tower named Arvs-Drelen, in that tower is an ancient telvanni wizard, named Baladas, I want you to travel over there and convience him to join the telvanni council".

-"Yes, Master Aryon, I shall do so at once", with that I took my leave, and took a boat down to Sadrith-Mora, as I knew the fastest way, would be the guild travel. In there I was met by the same coldness as before, and without further complaints, I travelled to Ald-Rhuun.

I walked through the guild, there, and heard some of the mages utter traitor so low, that I barely heard it. And then I bumped into the same woman who had so happily asked if I wanted to buy some Woid-walk spells, that kindness was now gone, but I did not care.

-"Hello, you still sell Woid-walk spells, right".

-"Yes, I still do", she implied with a little softer voice now.

-"So,how much will it cost for five"?

-"Five, that would be four thousand, septims".

"Hey, members get half price, right, you told me so, therefore, I should only pay two thousand septims". I started to take out septims from my pouch, while the woman looked like she had swallowed an entire mudcrab.

-"Ohh, right then", she screamed at me, " two-thousand septims, what locations, do you want"?

-"Lets see", I said to myself," i want one to Sadrith-Mora, one to Gnisis, one to Vos, one to Balmora and one to Ebonheart", I told her, and after some three hours, i was sure i knew the spells, in my head, so I tried out the one to Gnisis.

-"Jiksgarrup gsaba", It was a bright light, and suddenly i stood in the middle of Gnisis. I was still quite sick, when I entered Arvs-Drele, and I just managed to hold myself for vomiting.

After I had opned the first door, i was met by a huge rat, that ran straigt towards me. I quickly struck after it with the staff, and it exploded into a pool of blood and gore. I was looking at the staff with total awe, did it really have so much power in it, it was hard to understand.

When I came to a door after a long corridor, I tried to open it, but it was locked, and trapped, so I used the same tacktic as befor, and I used telekinesis on the door, while I stood further down the hall. When the door opned, a huge fireball, came out from it, and incinerated everything that stood ther, so now I could see into the wery rock features of the ground.

I opned walked through the door, and stopped, totally paralysed by the sight of the creature in front of me. There it stood....a huge deadroth, but it didn't do anything with me, it just stood there. With no small measure of fear, I walked past it, and at the top, I found Baladas.

He was.......mysterious, if I'm gonna use a word for him. He stood there in a manner that showed nothing but extreme power, and his eyes, his eyes had a mysterious look, that shoved centuries of wisdom,. All I could do was to stare, before I managed to speak.

-"B-Baladas", I asked.

-"Yes, outlander, I am Baladas Demnvanni, I have lived here for the last three-and-a-half-thousand years, now you better have a VERY good reason to be here", he said the last words, in such a commanding voice, that it was painfull to hear.

-"I'm sent here by Master Aryon, to ask you to join the telvanni council".
I waited in exitement for his answer.

-"Right, Telina isnt it"?

-"Ye, hey how do you know my name", I asked in an agitated voice, enierly forgetting who I was talking to.

-"Ohh, I recognise those eyes anywhere ". "Your eyes, have the same astonishing effect of power, as your grandfather, Selendil Delvanni, he was an ancient telvanni wizard". "Now i knew he had a child but never found out who, all he told me before he died, for some years ago, was that his grandchild had survived an assasination, his own child and her wife had died though".

I was completly lost, so my grandfather was the ancient Salendil after all, I could not believe it, my grandfather was acctually one of the most powerfull wizards ever, it was unbelievable. The voice of Baladas broke through my thoughts again though.

-"I shall join the council for the next three centuries, but only if you do some chores for me, now go and get to bed, you're welcome to borrow mine, as you have a great day before you tomorrow, as for myself I will spend the night studying".

I went into his bed, and realised that I was dead tired, and without even undressing, I fell down ito the soft pillows, and was lost in the world of dreams.



I am soon almost though chapter one, I guess only one up to a maximum of three post remain so please feel free to post your meaning of the entire chapter, as I would like to know whats been good, and whats been bad, that was all for tonight.

[minque]

Oh dear me! First you are very industrious, you update more quickly than I manage to catch up ..phew!
Now then this is really getting very interesting!......mind you Baladas is a very nice gentleman really! Do you remember Serene´s encounters with him? Hmmm it´s gonna be interesting to see how he and Telina get on with one another

"Kempe-fint" !!

[Elidor]

Nice, an update so soon again, I like this different viewpoint of the game. Is quite refreshing

[mplantinga]

I was really great to learn a little about Telina's family history; I wonder how Telina will be able to use that information.

About the chapter as a whole: amazing, creative, and amusing. Keep up the great work.

[Tellie]

hey, planty, I'd not expect to see you back so soon, altough I had hoped. i hope the surgery went well, and that you enjoyed your stay.

So good to see you back, now if you dont have any objections, I shall post the next tomorrow night.

I must again thank you for all the supportive comments and critisism's that have been given to me through this first chapter, you guy's and gal's are just amazing and supportive fans8 if I may go so far as calling you fans that is ).
tank you all very much, and so we'll see a new update tomorrow( hopefully).


Again, thanks for coming back to us Planty, welcome back.

[mplantinga]

You may call us fans; well, I guess I can't speak for everyone else, so you may call ME a fan.

(Haven't had surgery yet; that is on Wedneday)

[Tellie]

Hi, more will come later this night, all I wanted to ask is do anyone of you want some screenies, as I do have some, now all I have to do is to find out how to manage to post screenies .

Please tell me if you want screenies, and what kind of screenies, as I have quite few(but not all I'm sorry). Ill post them in the next post.

[mplantinga]

Screenies! Please give us screenies! Action screenies are good: casting spells, swinging weapons, or staring down at a suddenly lifeless corpse. Scenery can be good too.

[Tellie]

I walked closer, standing up agains the wall, making no sound. To my left stood Haldin, my secret love, and to my right stood a new assassin, who was upposed to be trained up. We snuck over the wall, pressing ourselves down so that the guards wouldnt see us.

The guards passed, and we were ready to move on. "Haldin, what do you think"?I asked.

-"Well, I think you should go the difficoult way, up the tower, while I take this young rookie, with me so that he will learn some things".

Nodding, I slipped myself down into the courtyard, and ran over to the wall of the house, and jumped in between some crates, just as the guard passed me again. I started to climb up the wall, finding grip in the fine cavings of the walls. I climbed with the agileness of a cat, swift and no sounds.

I was half way up when I saw into the window, behind the curtain, the happy couple went to bed, and I sneaked into the room. I easily slit the throat of the guard in the room, and I then took out a lethally poisonous serpent, and slipped it into the bed.

I then opened the door, and stealthly made my way out, Suddenly I notice the shadows, of three guards coming up the staircase, with two prisoners. One of them were the new rookie, and the other one was my belowed Haldin, and from the sound of it, the rookie had revealed them both to the guards.

I took up three throwing daggers, and a rapid series of throws later, and the guards lay on the floor with a dagger each in their hearts.

-"Haldin get out of here, I'll handle the rest".

Following my advice, he and the newe assassin moved back out. I then walked further into the castle, and soon found the room I was searching from. The sole guard was easily despatched, and I made my way into the room.

I stood over the bed, with my wakasashi, held up high, downward pointing for maximum stabbing potential. Just as I drove the lethal blade down, the person in the bed moved, and the blanket over it, fell down, revealing a small child no more than five years old. The blade descended into its chest, and I felt the warm spray of blood against my face.....

-"Noo, I screamed", as I woke up, I had been wakened one time before by that old memory, where I murdered a little child while it was asleep.

-"Telina, are you alright, did something happen"? the voice of Baladas, said to me.

-"No, it-it was just a bad dream", I told him.

-"Well, since it's morning, you eat your breakfast, and I'll tell you what you have to do after it".

I sat up, and then walked slowly towards the table, and sat down, and looked down at the food standing on the plate before me. Fried ash-jam, with cooked cwama-egg's, and when I was finished with that, I was given a big piece of guar-beef, and a loaf of bread.

-"Nmm, it was delicious, Baladas, where did you learn to make food like that"?

-"Oh, thank you Telina, I have never made food like that before, I just summoned it forth".
"But now, I want you to go get me a couple of books that I need for my studies".
"The books I need, are Nchunak's fire and faith, anteccendants of the dwemer law, and the Cronicles of Nchuleft, are you willing to go get those books, for me"?

I accepted, and walked over to the silt strider, there I suddenly realised that I did not need to travel anywhere with that at the moment, so I decided to try another of my new spells.

-"Jiksgarrup Blmarna", I was instantly travveled over to Balmora, and found myself standing otside the temple. I asked the closest guard, with an extremely overdone tone of humbleness ( I did not know if they had forgotten my little thievery earlier ), where the closets bookshop where.

-"Oh, it is just down the street opposite the figthers guild, outlander", he answered back in a directly venomous tone, that shoved me that he had not forgotten a single thing.


Ok, thats all for today, and next post you'll get some screenies(hopefully, as I dont know how to put them in , yet).Hope you liked getting a small look of how Telina was, before she came away from the brotherhood. AS alway replies are most welcome.

PS: Good luck at surgery planty.

[mplantinga]

I wondered why that first part was in a different font; at least until it became quite clear it was a memory. A glimpse into the past always enhances the depth of a character, and this was no exception. It seems Telina was quite skilled as an assassin; I wonder how much of that skill we will see put to use.

Thanks for another great update.
