My name is Ashlynn. I am the latest winner of the Twisted Metal competition. After Calypso granted my wish, I thought that was the end of it. I thought I would go on with my life. I was wrong.

After Calypso shoved me out of the room the next morning, I thought I was back in the hallway in his tower. I wasn't. I was in a forest on a dirt path. I followed the path which led to a clearing with a table full of food and drink. There I met a strange man who turns out to be one of the true heads of Twisted Metal. He told me he is one of many. I didn't want to believe it. I wanted to believe that none of it was real. I snatched a bottle of alcohol from him and wanted to just drink until I blacked out. I wanted nothing but to pass out, then wake up back in my bed at home.

I didn't black out, but instead the man got violent. He pinned me down and said it was unwise to anger him. After he made his point, he was gone. Literally in the blink of an eye. The table was gone and a bed was in it place. Suddenly stricken with exhaustion, I fell asleep quickly.


I don't much want to discuss what happened the next morning, but since I don't want you to be left in the dark like I literally was for most of it, I will tell.

I woke up the next day blindfolded, gagged, and tied up. That's not the scary part for I could handle that. What I couldn't handle was the feeling of a sharp object running along my leg, up my back, over my shoulder, then slowly driven into my chest. I thought I was going to die.

Then the man from the day before showed up, said a few cross words to the other guy, and I was freed from my bindings.

I saw that I was in a dark, decrepit room and the man led to me outside to a shiny doorway in an equally decrepit courtyard.

I found myself back in the forest clearing.


The man explained everything. He explained the story behind Twisted Metal, how him and his colleagues got involved, and how one of them doesn't abide by the rules. He then says the only way he will allow me to go free was pretty much along the lines of me giving up my free will.

"Oh, Ashlynn. I never said you needed to give up your free will. All I asked was for me take up residency in your little mortal mind for a while." Shut up! "Why, you haven't even mentioned my name yet. That hurts, Ashlynn. That really hurts." Leave me alone! "Perhaps I'll introduce myself. Make a big entrance, like the way I made myself known in Vivec City all those years ago!"

Visions of a huge meteor flashes before my eyes. It's hurdling straight towards a city. Stop! Sheogorath, no! The vision stops instantly. "There we are. Now how about we get this story moving along? If they really want to know what happened, they'll read part one themselves." Fine.

"Oh, and to the readers... Part One is in the crossover section under Elder Scrolls series and Twisted Metal. It's a great read!" It's also rated M. It's not of my proudest moments in life either. "Oh, my dear little Ashlynn. Neither is this."
