The Elder Scrolls 5 | Skyrim | Adalei's Magical Adventures | Pt. 63
0I awoke to a world of magic. It was in the form of the arcane arts, that I discovered true power. The ability to tinker with the minds of others was amongst the first of my fascinations. Such a thrill to manipulate those with a will weaker than my own. Still, a master of magic was not immune to its effects. In time, perhaps I would learn to defend myself with mental abilities alone, for now, however, I had to depend on alchemy. Rumors of an artifact that could deepen my understanding of illusions brought me to Bruma. It wasn't long before I found someone who offered me a contract that would guide me to my goal. I found myself in the ruins of Rielle, accompanying two others. It didn't take long before we found the thing I sought. A high elf confronted us. He spoke of his god and the power he was willing to share, to those who would swear their allegiance. Deep within his voice, I sensed a hypnotic note, the longer he spoke the stronger the enchantment became. My companions fell for his trickery, however, I would not face them alone. I used a scroll to summon a Dremora lord the spell drained all of my magical energy, leaving me unable to cast spells. Using an invisibility potion I was able to sneak to the Altmer and deliver a precise strike with my poisoned blade. Once the Dremore finished off its prey, it returned whence it came and I was left alone. Around the neck of the elf, I found an unusual amulet. It no doubt possessed great power, yet if I couldn't resist its charm, perhaps I too would start losing my sanity. I wasn't about to take that risk. There are certain herbs when combined the right way, they could resist all magical effects. It took me less than an hour to complete the mix. It was then, I placed the amulet around my neck and felt its powers surging through me. I did indeed gain the knowledge I wished, yet once I took it off I realized that its powers were all gone. Still, I had a contract to fulfill. I went to the Manor mentioned in the letter. The guards outside let me in, the moment I presented it. I was introduced into the main hall, where the steward poured two glasses of wine and offered me a seat. The big table in the hall was decorated with a fruit bowl and two candle holders. A Dunmer arrived a moment later and greeted me, he obviously was the master of this house. I quickly passed him the amulet and went to my chair, taking an apple from the bowl. The dark elf was not pleased with my success. In his anger, he tossed the amulet to the ground. Still, I demanded my payment, after all, I did bring him his prize. His refusal seemed final, so I collected the amulet and turned to leave placing the apple back in the bowl. I made sure that the Dunmer could see the amulet whiles I cast a spell to imbue it with a small amount of energy. This had the desired effect, for he changed his tone almost immediately. And offered me half the reward if I left the jewel. I took a small sip of wine and approached him. I placed the glass on the edge of the table and asked him for the cut of the other two as well. His anger got the better of him. Unwilling to fulfill my offer he stood and scolded me for my behavior. By touching his shoulder I managed to calm him down. I picked up the wine glass, then walked towards the nearby display case. My eyes landed on the flawless gems stored inside. I slowly started tilting my glass, when his little daughter walked into the room. Apparently, his shouts had woken her. For the first time, I saw the dark elf smiling. He reassured her, it was nothing and send her back to her room. She walked past me and took the apple from the bowl. He agreed to trade the amulet for the emerald inside the case. We toasted to the successful deal. I turned invisible and quickly left his house before the poison could take effect. I had to run, my only choice was to travel to Skyrim. Little did I know that I would find myself in the middle of an Imperial ambush, which ironically was not even meant for me. The last thing I remember was the sharp pain on the back of my head before the world faded into darkness.
