Gwynolda's story

Act I

Gwynolda's Daily life

Chapter 5 

 

 

It's been sometime since Jeanne officially started to train me as knight.

 

 

I made a lot more progress in martial combat, than expected in a few weeks.

 

 

Jeanne focused on that over anything, as it is my most lacking part.

 

 

She told me, today we focus a bit on theory.

 

 

While, I think it's nice to focus on that aspect, the temple neglected me.

 

 

I want to be ready for any serious combat and trouble, rather than read.. some dusty books on basic knowledge.

 

 

However there is one slight doubt about her.

 

 

She definitely has more going on here than just training me.

 

 

I have to ask about her goals in the Reach and why she is here.

 

 

I don't mind helping her out if I can do any help for her.

 

She been nothing but kind and sweet to me since we met, despite my initial impressions about her.

 

 

She is really beautiful

 

 

Kind, sometimes sweet.

 

 

From her toes

 

 

To her face

 

She is perfect as if Lady Dibella shaped each part of her.

 

I wonder how sweet.. she actually would be down there.

 

 

I'm getting distracted

 

 

But, it can't be helped.

 

 

I feel enthralled whenever I think of her.

 

 

I want to kiss her lips. 

 

 

Taste her

 

 

Especially down there in her flower

 

 

I want it

 

 

There is a lot of tension in me, might just release it before she arrives

 

Would be hard to control myself.

 

 

 

I guess I don't have much choice

 

 

It can't hurt if I touch myself a bit before training.

 

 

Just think a bit on my current desires for her

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't expected things to go this bad

 

But let's get it over.

 

 

 

I really want her

 

 

 

 

 

It takes longer to clean my head, each time.

 

Am I this touch starved lately? Or simply just feel overwhelmed by those needs? 

 

 Lady Dibella prefers if there's more than just physical things between lovers, wonder if she forgives if I would ask her to teach me her arts to relieve these needs.

 

 

 

It's been a while since Muriel, maybe it's time to move on after all.

 

My body seems so, and I would lie if I say I'm not enjoying her company. 

 

 

Maybe we end up as lovers, as time goes

 

 

One can hope on it.

 

 

I should get ready

 

 

Sadly it is not spring yet

 

I love it when it's spring in the Reach

 

 

I sometimes use my illusion knowledge to enhance it for myself when I'm alone. 

 

Harmless little magic on myself to see the season different.

 

 

I've always been good with this specific school of magic, despite my limited education on it. 

 

But she should be here soon, lets dispel it 

 

 

But maybe again I can see the spring again in the Reach soon.

 

That was an interesting display of illusion magic Gwynolda.

 

 

Didn't exhaust you? Keeping up that long to alter the visage of the environment?

 

Or you perhaps didn't notice the extent of your own magic?

 

 

Hello to you too Jeanne.

 

 

 To your question? No I didn't notice it.

 

Sisters at the Temples always disliked it if I casted magic from the school.

 

 

A shame for that attitude, you are really talented at it.

 

 

It's one of the core schools of the knights and of the temple.

 

One way to make things more beautiful than they are, and with a mix of Alternation school, one can make it reality.

 

 

I'm happy to see you again my dear

 

I'm glad to see your magic needs a lot less work compared your martial skills.

 

 

 

 

Did you study a lot in the temple? Or what did they actually teach you?

 

 

 

My Father spent a great deal of his savings to convince the Temple to teach me magic.

 

Initially they started with basics, like magicka control and healing.

 

 

When they discovered my potential, they hired specific teachers and my cleric magic has been.. neglected since that.

 

In the past they hired someone famous, 'cause an unknown person spent a great deal on my magical education.

 

Hamal was.. extremely focused on that education over anything on the temple's teachings.

 

Go on..

 

 

 

How curious, wonder what they thought, almost like they wanted to train you as a magister over a sister.

 

 

 

No wonder your knowledge on the Dibellan worship and her arts is somewhat lacking if your head been filled with arcane magic and magic theory. 

 

Did they focus on other subjects?

 

Mostly on history, basics of the current politics

 

Nothing on the Dibellan arts and love at all?

 

 

Not really, what I know is mostly peeking at the rituals and other sister's lessons

 

I wanted ask you if you.

 

 

If you are a good girl, I can teach you about those too

 

 

 

You think, I did not notice how you look at me sometimes?

 

 

 

I..

 

Don't worry, I may tease you a bit sometimes, I find you cute when you are embarrassed.

 

.....

 

Now then, let's get back to today's lesson, once you are ready with your basics, I promise to teach you a bit.

 

 

Since you are naturally quite adept with illusion magic, let's tone it together today, I think I can make today's theory lesson a bit more interesting.

 

You mean casting magic together?

 

Yes, we both make an imagery together and be under the spell. It allows us to visualize the theory aspect properly. My senior taught me the same way.

 

 

Since our subject is the dibellan worship today, remember what you read in the books and imagine it, when you channel with me.

 

Think of a temple of Lady Dibella outside of the Reach in Skyrim.

 

 

We both channeled magicka together to the same spell, it was the first time I ever done something like this.

 

 

I wanted ask that question from her, but before I even could do.

 

We were already in middle of a lesson, and within a few short moments.

 

I imagine a temple based on the books she gave me.

 

 

We suddenly were in an old, yet nordic temple.

 

 

Wooden and simple, almost primitive, yet humble.

 

I admit, looks cozy and has a nice charm, not luxurious as the Markath's temple.

 

All the descriptions visualized perfectly.

 

 

And a small shrine of lady Dibella in the center.

 

 

It seems your imagination perfectly reconstructed the scenery of the book. It does remind me of the small temples I found, on my way to the Reach.

 

Is it different from the temples in the Reach?

 

 

Quite much actually, I do admit your skills with illusion magic is impressive, I never thought one can do such things with it.

 

 

Let alone use it as an way of education.

 

 

I think it's much more effective than reading old dusty books.

 

 

It directly does show what you need to know and see from the worship of Dibella in Skyrim and more.

 

 

However, we will test your knowledge right now.

 

 

What should I imagine next then?

 

 

What about the imperial way? Show me how would you see a temple of Lady Dibella from Cyrodiil.

 

Would be lovely to see my home temple again.

 

Try to imagine the Temple in Anvil.

 

 

The scenery changed to an a much more.. extravagant temple, different than the temples in the Reach and Markarth

 

Yet oddly familiar

 

 

 

She asked me to imagine how an imperial temple of divines looks, but this is different from the books

 

Feels from Skyrim rather than Cyrodiil.

 

I was here once with my..

 

 

Parents?!

 

What is the name she's been calling me, I cannot remember.

 

My .........., you are around the age to pick a divine for yourself.

 

 

I remember my father, but I never seemed to recall any memory of my mother..

 

Don't be shy, this is your right, come forward my dear.

 

 

Why this temple? Where did I see it or when was I here?

 

Which of the Eight calls you?

 

 

It seems Dibella was chosen.

 

The Goddess of Beauty and Love.

 

Interesting choice ........

 

 

That's my

 

See? It wasn't that hard. 

 

Time to leave, we have much to do today.

 

 

Mother?

 

 

Who is she? Why now?

 

 

I have to figure out, where this Temple is, maybe that gives some answer or helps to remember.

 

 

That is an interesting pick, Temple of the Divines of Solitude, opposed of Anvil.

 

That is surprisingly an accurate vision, almost like you were here once.

 

Gwynolda?

 

 

Solitude? The capital of Skyrim? I was there once? I definitely have to talk with my father about it

 

Huh?

You seems a bit spaced out? Is everything alright my dear?

I'm.. fine

Are you sure?

Yes.. if it's alright for us, I would like to visit the town of Old Hroldan sometimes.

 

 

 

That's fine, I've been meaning to visit it for a while.

 

 

You made quite good progress in your training and I think it's time to get more serious.

 

More serious?

 

 

Indeed my dear, it's time to use real weapons and armor, after all you are a knight-initiate.

 

We are the swords of Lady Dibella after all.

 

There is a lot to do.

 

 

I've been meaning to ask since the first you appeared, forgive me for doing it now, but.

 

Why are you helping me? What is your goal actually? Why are you in Markarth?

 

My goal in here?

 

 

I'm afraid, I don't think your agenda is simply just training me and have a new recruit for your future adventures and duty in the Empire.

 

 

I cannot help it, I can't simply ignore that slight suspicion I have, there is something more here.

 

 

 

I sent an application for the order, but without approval from them, it is barely considered.

 

You are not here due to me. 

 

Please tell me what is your intention in the Reach.

 

 That is true, nobody did recommended you in the Temple, in fact they seemed to have a different goal and agenda with you.

 

 

However, that is yet to be discovered.

 

 

 

 

Now listen closely Gwynolda

 

 

We do not serve or answer to the House of Dibella without any Sybil to guide them.

 

Our duty outside fighting the enemies of our Lady, is to guide and correct the temple, but you know that already.

 

 

Her outfit.. swiftly changed to a much more beautiful yet armored one

 

There is a suspicious lack of Sybils in the temple of Markarth.

 

You think nobody noticed that? You did too after all.

 

 

I need someone who knows the temple, and from locally here, to help and guide me

 

And you are the only who had an application to the order from Markarth in the past decades, nobody ever did since Hamal took control.

 

I took my chance with you, I was lucky to found you in the right time.

 

 

Now then let me tell you why I am here.

 

 

I'm here to investigate the suspicious activities and motives of Temple of Dibella in Markarth.

 

Will you join me as my partner in goal and become a knight-sister of Lady Dibella Gwynolda?
