The Story of Kevin VanNord

Chapter 6: The Assualt on Varondo

"What are you doing here Magnus?" Kevin asked.

"Put the armour on the stand, and I'll show you" Magnus mysteriously replied.

Kevin did as he was asked and swiftly placed the armour on it's stand. After doing so the psijic order appeared, the room suddenly became darker as they started chanting, once again the ancient language that was chanted last time. The darkness of the evil began to rise and peel off the armour, as they kept chanting the armour started to look as it originally did. After some time the armour was back to it's normal self.

After that the order disappeared, which only left Magnus and Kevin in the room. Kevin walked over to the armour, turned to Magnus who gave a nod, which indicated the armour was safe to wear. Kevin took a deep breath and put on the armour, as Kevin put on the last piece the armour started to glow a blinding white, after a couple moments returned to normal.

Kevin readied his weapons, walked out the doors, up the stairwell and went outside where he was met by a two hundred fully armoured elven military. They split formation right down the middle and a single person walked up to Kevin, it was Knight-Paladin Gelebor (who is, as far as is known, the last living snow elf).

"Ah, Kevin it's good to see you again!" Gelebor exclaimed.

"What are you doing here Gelebor?" Kevin demanded.

"I thought you might need some help with your quest" Gelebor replied.

"I am Kevin VanNord, I need no help, from anyone!" Kevin shouted, so that everyone could hear him.

"You have no idea of whom you face Kevin, you will need our help Kevin" Gelebor replied passively.

"YOU DARE QUESTION ME!" Kevin shouted, shaking the very ground with each word.

"You will need our help, and when you do we will be ready" was Gelebor's final remark before him and his army marched away.

Kevin infuriated that someone would question his strength, Kevin though had no time to deal with it. instead just got on back to his journey to an ayleid ruin called Varondo, where Celebrimbor was said to be hiding out. Kevin journeyed many days to get to the closest town to the ruin, which was kvatch. Where Kevin rested for a couple of days until he was ready to storm the ruin.

When Kevin was finally ready, he went to the tavern and bought a few bottles of mead for his journey, and went on his way. It took only a couple of hours before Kevin got to Varondo, where he saw a handful of the elven soldiers and Gelebor standing just outside the ruin. Kevin was quite angry but he couldn't just kill them (well he could but he had more important things to do), so he let them stay.

"All right we storm the ruin on three" Kevin ordered.
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
Everyone ran forwards and slaughtered the conjurers that were outside guarding the ruin. They then entered the ruin went down several flights of stairs, fought a dozen or so more conjurers and a few weak daedra. When they got to the bottom it was a large empty room, apart from three daedra who were about six feet tall except for the middle one which was the size of a giant. All three of the daedra wore full daedric armour with daedric swords, except the middle one who wielded an enormous daedric war hammer.

The six elves drew their weapons, three with sword and three with bow, moments later the enemy drew their weapons and charged. The elves and Kevin stood strong and kept their position, preparing for the upcoming onslaught. The battle was bloody and barely won. The three daedra killed all of Gelebor's soldiers and almost killed Gelebor too who only survived because Kevin saved him. As a result Kevin was hit in the back by the giant daedra's war hammer with such force it shattered, giving Kevin a chance, so with such nimbleness he turned and cut of it's head. After he was dealt with the other two died with ease.

Gelebor and Kevin continued deeper into the ayleid ruin, encountering little resistance as they made their way to the main room where Celebrimbor was awaiting Kevin's arrival. In an instance Gelebor was thrown into the back wall and knocked unconscious.

"I'm not afraid of you Celebrimbor!" Kevin shouted.

"You should be" Celebrimbor said in a deep evil voice, and as he did the room became darker and colder.

"Why?" Kevin demanded an answer.

"You should have listened to Gelebor when he offered you an army, for you truly have no idea who I am or what I'm capable of" he said in a voice that reminded Kevin of death.

"How did you..." Kevin was cut off before he could finish his sentence.

"I know everything!" Was his answer.

When he finished the room turned dark, pitch black nothing but Kevin was left. Kevin tried with all his might to escape the darkness, but the darkness consumed him. A voice spoke with shallow words, deep and full of darkness.

"You will fall, you have already lost, you failed before you ever began for you do not have the power to win. You are weak and will be consumed by the darkness that resides in your heart and soul, you will fall."

As the voice spoke Kevin once again saw images flashing through his head, but not of the past, they were of the future a future where darkness ruled over all, the Divines slaughtered and Kevin chained up for all eternity. Within an instance the room returned to normal the voice stopped and Celebrimbor was gone. Kevin went over to Gelebor, who for the most part was fine, they both left that ruin shaken and unsure.
