Blood of Skyrim: Part 11

As everyone quietly stepped inside with their weapons drawn, Onmund saw that they were in a small living room of sorts, with a fire burning off to the side and a few tables and chairs set up. Ahead of them was a larger, more spacious chamber, and they could hear voices ahead. Galmar put a finger to his lips and gestured for everyone to move forward into the large chamber. There was a large, stone pillar that had fallen over near the back of the room and Galmar ordered everyone behind the pillar, which they did. Onmund and Danielle quietly crept up behind everyone. They listened silently for a while as the voices ahead of them echoed arou

Going past Nightgate Inn, they reached Korvanjund by mid-afternoon, and they found a small camp where a group of Stormcloak soldiers were hanging out. As they neared the camp, some of the soldiers stood up from where they were sitting to stare at them. “Are those the mages that were sent?” one of them whispered. “We’re here!” Simon announced as they approached the group. “Are you the newest recruit?” a female soldier walked up to him and asked. “I am,” he responded. “Simon Bear-Skinner of Whiterun.” “I am Ilfhild,” the soldier said. “She&rsqu

The next morning, when both Onmund and Danielle woke up, they felt slightly more refreshed than they had the previous morning. They got dressed and went out of the inn straight to the Palace of the Kings. They didn’t bother to look for Simon, first, to go with them. When they went inside the palace, they saw that the great hall was nearly empty again, with only two guards and Jorleif present. “Come forward, mages,” Jorleif said to them. Onmund and Danielle walked towards the front of them, and as they neared the throne, they could hear voices in the side room again. Ignoring them, Onmund said to Jorleif, “We h

“Aghh!” Simon cried out as a cloud of frost seemed to engulf him. Onmund and Danielle sprang into action and ran forward to unleash their spells on the creature. Simon fell to the ground on his knees, desperately struggling to wipe all of the ice off of his face as the two Adept mages fought the Ice Wraith. Onmund struck it repeatedly with Lightning Bolt as Danielle unleashed a stream of Flames every time it flew by her. Soon, the creature exploded, sending ice crystals flying everywhere, and Onmund remembered to turn around and shield his face as the crystals flew at him. Now with everything quiet, Onmund and Danielle ran

After they crossed the threshold into the palace, it took a while for their eyes to adjust. The hall before them was huge. There was a long dining table in the middle where a row of empty plates and goblets were set. At the other end of the room, there was a set of steps leading up to the throne, which at the present time, was empty. In fact, it was now that they realized that the three of them were all alone in the hall. “Where is everyone?” Danielle whispered. “Let’s go see,” Simon said and began walking towards the front of the hall. Onmund and Danielle followed him, and as they neared the throne, they

He continued walking and went into the Hall of Elements. His class had already started so Faralda was speaking to J’zargo and Brelyna when he walked in. “There you are, Onmund,” Faralda proclaimed and everyone turned to look at him. “I was just telling the students that Simon has left the College to go pursue other endeavors. Where’s Danielle?” Without looking up, Onmund answered, “She’s still talking with Tolfdir.” “Well, please stand with the other students and we’ll begin class,” she instructed. “We’ll get Danielle caught up when she gets in.”

When they got inside the College, Danielle opened the door to the Arch-Mage’s Quarters and let Tolfdir in. Onmund followed them in and they climbed up the stairs into the entryway. They stopped there and Danielle said to Tolfdir, “I shall return with the staff. Let me go get it.” She then rushed off, leaving Onmund alone with his former professor. There was a reason for following this secretive protocol, and it all started after the Psijic monks whisked the Eye of Magnus away months earlier. When Danielle was named the new Arch-Mage, she was put in charge of safeguarding the Staff of Magnus, and that responsibility ha

The next morning, all of the Destruction students gathered in the Hall of Elements for their class, including Simon. Several months ago, Faralda had taken over Tolfdir’s job of teaching the School of Destruction. She started off the class by informing them of an assembly after lunch at which Tolfdir was going to go over the state of affairs at the College. As far as what had been going on, Onmund had last heard that the Thalmor were making threats to shut down the College with the Empire’s help and that Jarl Korir of Winterhold had suddenly taken interest in these events because he was afraid that an Imperial attack on Winterh

The next morning, the four Adepts headed out from Ivarstead and walked to Riften. For Danielle, Onmund imagined that it must’ve brought back a lot of memories going back to the town she had spent a considerable amount of time in prior to joining the College. But for him, it was just a town that he had heard rumors about but had never really gone to. For one thing, he knew that the Thieves Guild had a prominent presence there as well as the rich Black-Briars. They arrived in Riften by evening and went straight to the Temple of Mara. Danielle had an emotional reunion with everyone there and Onmund got to meet her former mentors in pe

For the most part it was a sleepless night. The party going on upstairs seemed to last all night long, with singing and dancing and other loud noises. Everything seemed to die down sometime during the dark hours of the morning and the two mages finally got a little peaceful sleep. At one point, Onmund lay awake in his bed, wondering if it was time to get up. He heard Danielle stir in her bed on the other side of the room, and she finally sat up. Onmund turned over to look at her and said softly, “Good morning, beautiful.” She turned towards him but it was too dark to see her face. “Good morning, handsome.” He s

The next morning, after class was over, the four Destruction Adepts stayed behind in the training hall to practice what they had learned while Tolfdir had to leave them to go take care of other business. Now that he was filling the responsibilities of Destruction professor, Master Wizard, and Arch-Mage all at once, he was extremely busy. Before the students got too carried away, though, Danielle had an announcement to make. “Arniel approached me before class this morning with another favor,” she told them. “More of his Dwemer investigations?” Brelyna asked. “Yes,” she replied. “This time he&rsq

The next day, Onmund woke up in a good mood. He joined Danielle, Brelyna, and J’zargo in the training hall, ready to face Tolfdir’s tests again. First, they started off with J’zargo’s do-over of his recreated Flame Cloak spell. He cast the spell and was completely engulfed in flames, but this time, the flames didn’t harm him, and he passed the test. Then, Brelyna got the chance to show off her recreated Oakflesh spell. She had brought a piece of animal hide which she had Danielle hold in front of her, and then she proceeded to take out a dagger. Onmund nervously watched as she struck the hide, and while the

Tolfdir’s class the next morning passed by mostly uneventfully. They simply retold the events of their trip to the Rift to him and then practiced with their spells, as usual. Danielle seemed noticeably melancholy again that morning but Onmund couldn’t guess as to why she looked that way. After class was over, Tolfdir wanted to speak with Danielle privately right there in the hall so Onmund, J’zargo, and Brelyna left them to go have lunch together in the dining hall. They talked about their upcoming test- how J’zargo and Brelyna were going to be given a second chance at demonstrating their spell recreations, and Onm

True to J’zargo’s words, Onmund definitely felt the aftermath of their wild evening when he woke up in the morning. His head was pounding and his stomach felt very uncomfortable. On top of that, the guilt from the way he had acted in front of everyone came back to him, including his behavior towards Danielle. She hates me, he said to himself again. She must hate me. There’s no doubt about it. He wished that he could just curl up in the bed all day long and forget about everyone else but he was eventually up with the others so that they could depart for Mzulft. Everyone was in a mess physically and mentally, but they a

It took great mental strength to drag himself to class, not at all wanting to face all that was coming, including having to face the very woman he had never wanted to show his face to ever again. He came to a mostly empty training hall save for Tolfdir. “Onmund!” Tolfdir exclaimed. “Just the person I wanted to see!” With no reaction, Onmund languidly stepped forward towards his professor. “Is it true that you dropped Colette’s class?” he asked him. He simply nodded. Tolfdir gave him a thoughtful look before saying, “Onmund…I underestimated you. For this I am sorry. You have gre

He climbed out of bed and groomed himself for the day. Then, stepping outside into the courtyard, he walked across it straight into the Hall of Countenance. He then climbed up the staircase to the second floor and found Colette in her room. Walking up to her doorway, he said to her, “Colette, may I speak with you?” Colette looked up from the book she was reading and smiled when she saw him. “Of course, Onmund! Come on in. Have a seat.” Onmund obeyed and took the chair across from her. He began to feel nervous, but he knew that this was important. He started, “So, I, uh, just wanted to talk to you.&rdquo

Onmund followed Danielle out into the courtyard. “Well, I guess I’ll be taking you out for some remedial training,” she sighed. “Where are we going?” he asked her. “Well, Arniel has asked me to collect some Dwemer artifacts for him,” she explained. “I’ve already gone to Mzulft with Brelyna, and I took J’zargo to…whatever the ruin is called near Dawnstar. Today, I was planning on going to the large one near Windhelm. The name of it starts with an ‘I.’” “Irkngthand?” he volunteered. “Yes, that one,” she replied. He chuckled, a

As he ascended the stairs into the library, he knew that he was going to have to face Bridgette again soon that evening for their study session together. He started to wonder if agreeing to be her study partner was such a good idea. It certainly doesn’t help my case in dispelling those rumors if I’m always seen with her! he knew. But what was he supposed to do? Bridgette was a nice person. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings. Onmund browsed the bookshelves and picked out some spell catalogues to read through for Tolfdir’s assignment and took it to his usual table. He was surprised to see Bridgette sitting there

I know...I've been somewhat...MIA... I've been absent on some social media circuits (this one especially), but I'm never ready to hang up the hat on drawing...ever.  In fact, I've been wanting to get into drawing heavily again, as I've found some new inspiration, but I've just been procrastinating on actually doing it.  The reasons are kind of stupid really.  I was never any good at drawing with a mouse, so my go-to technique would be to draw stuff on paper, scan it, and then color it in Photoshop.  But I'm sick and tired of that technique now, as it's slow and tedious.  I am seriously thinking of getting a Wacom tablet as I think it'll be a

Calling all Duranies and lovers of silly web games

All week, I have been working on a Javascript web game called the Duran Duran Kissing Game, trying to get it released in time for Valentine's Day.  Whether you are a fan of the band or not, go check it out: http://duraniearcade.absolutemario.com/kiss The game is written using HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery 2.2.  It may not work properly on all platforms (especially mobile), but that may change in the near future as I find time to tweak it some more.  You are encouraged to save your images via the "Download Image" button and share it across social media!  And most of all, have fun with it!
