The Wonders of Skyrim

"Boethiah" I muttered under my breath, the daedric lord just looked confused, then her gaze focused on me, "Ah, Dragonborn," She said in a resonate tone, "I have been," She paused, "looking for you." She finished. I got up, "Boethiah, what do you want?" I hissed as I narrowed my eyes, she looked elegant, her cape flowing behind her, the moon sparkling off of her majestic armor. "Well, I would like to see if you really are powerful, in fact I've been wondering for awhile. I would like to see you fight in my arena" She paused and gave a sadistic grin, "Without your thu'um." The blood drained from my face, was Boethiah really doing this now?

She raised her left palm, a black orb swirled in her hand, I heard her say as I was teleported to her arena, "Well, this will be interesting."

Twilight heard a crash, expecting to see Jiques, trying to steal her possessions or finally deciding to attack! With this thought in mind, she dashed out of her room to catch herself at the door step. Who is that and... her ears perked up "...looking for you." The creature shone in the moon's light like a beacon, Twilight only saw Jiques because his scales reflected the moonlight. She watched in horror as she (she thought it was a she) raised a hoof, (Or hand) and fired a purple, black portal with which consumed Jiques. The other creature went through a similar looking portal and they both were gone.

My head thudded against the soft ground, I stood up a bit annoyed she didn't even think of anything else, the arena I stood in was circular, atleast 20 feet long, and 15 feet wide, maybe 8 feet tall walls with sinister spikes atop of these stone walls, my eyes looked up at a watch box, with only one person spectating Boethiah, she had the sword GoldBrand she spoke in a obviously magnified voice, "Jiques, Dragonborn, you shall fight 5 waves of enemies, without using your thu'um, you may use everything else you have at your disposal." After she finished an unseen audience clapped, cheered or whistled."The first wave starts, NOW!"

A group of bandits and skeevers appeared, the bandits were dressed in full leather with varying sharp blades that I did not want to touch. They gave a battle cry, I just stood my ground building up a wall of ice, which killed two skeevers, only 2 more left. I felt an arrow pierce my armor and get me in my leg, I gave a snort of frustration, pulling out the steel arrow, I added it to my quiver, as they got closer I whipped out my blade slashing one of the bandits across the chest, he didn't catch flame as I expected he would, that's when I realized I never recharged my sword's enchantment, after this thought passed through my mind, I felt like a complete idiot. I dodged a war hammer, a skeever bit my leg, shaking off the little bugger I lopped off another bandit's head, I counted the bandits real quick, 2 down, 3 to go, not to mention the 2 skeevers still biting my ankles.

I jabbed my sword down killing one of the skeevers, I turned around and roasted the other one with flames, a arrow flew by my face, I whipped out my bow, firing a paralyzing arrow, then I added a potent poison. The arrow hit its mark paralyzing the bandit as he laid there as the rest of the battle went on. The poisoned arrow hit the bandit that got me in the ankle, killing him after a few seconds of him writhing in pain, foam in his mouth along with his own blood. The last guy was what I presume to be the leader, I leapt forward slashing with my sword, only to be shocked that he blocked it with his greatsword.

I jumped back as he slashed, at where my torso just was, I let loose a barrage of magical arrows which impaled him against the wall, they soon dissipated causing him to fall to the ground. I heard Boethiah's magnified voice shout, "You please me so far, young mortal." She paused, "But there are still four more waves to go through!" I shook my head as I was teleported back to where I started. (Teleporting really does take the energy out of you) This time I was met with worse, as of course expected, five Orc thugs in full iron, and two flame thralls. An idea hit me, I whipped out my bow and started firing arrow after arrow at the flame thralls. One went down the other was still standing but got hit by atleast two arrows, the dead one exploded causing 3 Orcs to burst into flames and shrivel up into dried husks. I fired arrows, nearly getting burned alive by a near-by fireball.

As I finished off the thrall, it killed one Orc leaving behind one more which got a arrow to the forehead. Boethiah yelled again, "Marvelous! I thought the best warriors in Skyrim were the dumbest but it seems I've been proved wrong!" She laughed and sent in the next wave. This time there was a large Frostbite spider, along with 10 other smaller spiders, my skin crawled at the sight of the arachnids, but off to the left and right were.. vampires? Boethiah saw my hesitance, "Don't worry mortal these vampires wont infect you with their perilous disease." There were 3 on each side of the spiders, "This was getting ridiculous." I thought to myself.

I felt the vampires trying to draw my blood, I covered myself in a flame cloak, and shot fireballs into their direction, only four out of the six died from the fireballs, my flame cloak took care of the others, now I turned my attention to the spiders, I saw the big one hanging back while the small ones attacked first, a few were shriveled up at my feet, I looked up to see their were still 5 spiders excluding the large one still alive. I summoned a familiar, who took out two before dying in a flurry of mandibles and the spider's poison. I poisoned my sword with their own poison I collected from their dead bodies, I swung my sword down chopping one cleanly in half, I shocked the other two with lightning, I turned toward the big one, it stared me fury in its eyes. I used the spell I used on Spike to calm it, it seemed to calm for a moment, giving me the chance to plunge my sword through its eye and into its brain.

"Wow, I didn't think you had it in you for three rounds! Lets begin the fourth round!" She said rather gleefully, I looked up at the god who had a silly grin on her face, I hate it when gods look like that, it usually meant something bad, and I was right. What appeared was a giant and his mammoth, I stared for a minute before a plan came to mind, a very good plan, until Boethiah ruined it by saying, "I raised these poor idiots' IQ, now any devilish plans you might think of are useless." She giggled in glee, I chuckled, never thought I'd see a god like this before, anyways I considered many plans, before coming up with the one that should work. I ran forward, surprising the giant and sliced my sword through his crotch, effectively ruining any chance of reproduction, he fell over crying in pain and anguish. I kinda felt bad for the guy, he just had his dick lopped off, anyways the mammoth came running at me, but trampled his dear giant on the way, smashing into his balls. After seeing that, well I dont want to explain it right now. The mammoth charged I dove to the side causing the colossus to smash into the wall, using this as my time to strike I leapt a top, (more like climbed on top) of the mammoth and brought my sword down upon the mammoth's head, causing it to wobble and fall over as it died. I walked over to the giant, and stabbed him in the heart.

I felt drained from all this physical exertion but their was one more wave with which the Daedric Lord was really excited about for some reason, I closed my eyes taking a deep breath, I opened them, "Oh my, you're going to love this last wave, or should I say love this last wave to death?" I shook my head and what appeared took my breath away, a skeletal dragon, with 2 giants standing like honor guards. "Mortal, these giants I did not raise their intelligence level because I thought it an unfair final battle if you didn't have a chance to win." This of course gave me an idea, (I'm quite the strategist!) I ran and hopped onto the dragons skull, using the eye sockets as handholds, I taunted the giants, they both raised their club while the dragon tried to buck me off, I held on for the last second, and jumped causing the giants to kill the one thing that was supposed to make them win. I laughed as they tried to figure out why they smashed the skeleton again, when they both turned and stared at me. I gulped and I started to sweat, they got closer when an idea struck me, these low level idiots will have to fall for the spell, I placed a frenzy spell on the left giant, he really did go in a frenzy, smashing his surprised fellow giant and just trying to make a whole wreak of the place. I casted a fear spell causing the frenzied one to take one look at me and pass out, I walked over, and stabbed him through the heart.

"Well done mortal! Dragonborn, you deserve this." She teleported down and handed me GoldBrand. I slid the blade out of its sheath, admiring its beauty. She teleported me back, I smacked face first into the hard library floor and saw Twilight running towards me...

*************************************

Fear gripped Twilight, she had no idea what just happened between the two bi-pedal creatures and she wanted to find out, she let Spike sleep as she searched after a minute of searching she came up with nothing when a purple glow from the library caught her attention. She walked out their to see Jiques holding a blade made of pure gold, she trotted over to him, and nudged him he groaned and rolled over, "Jiques? Jiques can you hear me?" Twilight frantically said, Jiques responded by groaning and saying, "I'll tell you in the morning." He was asleep instantly, Twilight feeling a bit foolish went to her room and slept but not after placing protection spells around him and the house.
