Dawn of A New Day

A woman with soft loose sable hair that ended at her shoulders walked freely in a blue and purple Lolita dress that ended just before her knees. She went down the aisle of the grocery store, fixing her backpack and looking around wearily. Her sweet cerulean eyes were hidden by a pair of sunglasses. Her held her small slender frame up with grace as she walked.

She looked around with some paranoia, she was running from the police. Her crime was murdering her cheating husband in first degree. She admitted her crimes in a small green folder that she purposely left at the police station, of course she had typed it and made sure to leave no other evidence other than those simple words of poetry.

She smiled at the remembrance of the traitor's demise but felt a little sorry for her light green carpet. Never will they be that brilliant color they once were, instead stained with the treacherous crimson fluid forever.

She grabbed various things from the shelves and into her bag. She took; band-aids, gauze, Aspirin, batteries, matches, lighters, Antibiotic ointment packs, Strawberry flavored cough drops, and a various large amount of vitamins and supplements. She always wanted to be prepared for any kind of situation.. Particularly having to survive in a remote place on her own because of her situation with society.

After she zipped her bag closed and secured it on her back she was suddenly, a red-orange portal opened below her.

A dark demonic-like hand grabbed her by the leg and harshly pulled her into the depths of the portal. As she fell she saw most gruesome images and demonic creatures that terrified her greatly. There were mangled bodies and heads impaled onto rusty spears. Loud screams could be heard as a bloodied body seem to reach out to her as she fell.

After a short time she hit the ground hard, landing upon a cobblestone floor. Blood ran down the side of her soft peach face before she succumbed to unconsciousness.

"I must surely be dead, and in the halls of Azura to look upon such a vision. You are so beautiful, my dear maiden..." A voice spoke as she looked up, she noticed she was in some sort of prison cell. She was confused and looked around.

"Where am I" She thought to herself. It was strangely familiar but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She approached the cell door wearily.

"One of the guards owes me a favor, you know." The young woman looked over to where the voice was coming from to see a man with dark crimson eyes with dark grey skin and silver-white hair. "I could get us put in the same cell. Would you like that? You should have some fun before the end."

"What?" She was appalled by this ill mannered man.

"Yeah, you heard me."

She looked away repulsed that's when she noticed her skin was no longer the soft peach it once was. It was not a light blue, almost white.

"Am I dead?" She thought to herself.

"No matter what the law says. No matter what they told you. You're going to die in here! You're going to die!" The man had continued to ramble on. This made the young woman a bit uneasy but then a small smile came to her soft cherry lips. She took out a large safety pin from the bottom of her dress and began to pick the lock carefully. The door opened with a loud creak and she put the pin back in it's place.

"Let old Valen out of this cell! You've got your freedom, now give me mine! What do you say, huh? Come on, friend!" Valen had the nerve to call himself a friend.

"You must serve your time. I have no reason to be here. Ta ta for now." She said with a sly giggle and quickly was off on her way out.

"You dare torment me? Valen Dreth? Let me out of this cell, you filthy piece of Guar dung!" His plea went unheard as she slowly opened the door. There was no one at the desk and she quickly made her way out to find there was no one outside either. She quickly made her way out and acted casual around the townspeople.

"At least I've made it out unscathed." She said to herself.

She ran into a man with red silk robes that were embroidered with a golden edge.

"Watch where your going whelp!" He angrily kept on his way with haste.

She noticed he dropped a note on the ground. With much curiosity the young woman picked up the note and carefully read it.

Gwinas,

Your interest in the writings of the Master has been noted. You are taking the first steps towards true enlightenment. Persevere, and you may yet join the exalted ranks of the Chosen.

If you wish to continue further down the Path of Dawn, you will need the fourth volume of the Master's "Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes." It can be obtained only from a member of the Order of the Mythic Dawn. As your designated Sponsor, I will pass on my copy to you if I deem you worthy.

Study the first three volumes of the Master's writings. Look for the hidden meaning in his words, as best as you are able.

When you are ready, come to the Sunken Sewers under the Elven Gardens in the Imperial City. Come alone. Follow the main tunnel until you reach the room with the table and chair. Sit down. I will meet you there and give you what you desire.

The Sponsor

This was when the young woman had realized why everything was so familiar. She was filled with much shock.

"I... It can't be..." She quickly put the note in her pocket and looked around the city for a second time. The familiar cobblestone and buildings told her she was in The Imperial City of Cyrodil. She was in her favorite video game.

A small smile came to her features afterward. She was in a reality that was not her own. Finally she could truly explore an unknown world of wonder. She made her way to where the note had described excited, she always wondered about The Mythic Dawn, she never had Oblivion on the computer so she couldn't do that quest in her xbox360 copy of the game.

As she rushed to the Elven Garden District she ran into a man. She looked up at his tall and strong figure to see that he was a Nord with dark violet hair. He had thick arched eyebrows with fair skin that contrasted with his dark hair. Thick arch eyebrows that curved into his strong nose, with soft pink lips. Eyes a soft honey-brown with a golden flecks that washed out from the center of his irises.

His slanted feline-like eyes held a certain softness that most Nords lacked. A tender kindness.

"My most sincere apologies, are you alright." His deep voice was familiar, it was the character she had made. It was Leo.

"Yes, I am fine.." She couldn't help but stare at his handsome features.

"Well that's great to know, say you wouldn't happen to know anything about Gwinas, I'm looking for him."

"Actually I ran into him earlier, he dropped this note about a meeting with a Sponsor of the Mythic Dawn or something like that?" The young sable haired woman handed him the note and he smiled.

"Thanks, you've been a great help. Um, I'm sorry I never got your name?"

"It's Esli" She smiled.

"Esli..." He trailed off. "What a beautiful name. My name's Leo." He smiled.

"Nice to meet you Leo."

"Well I gotta get going, I have things to tend to." With that he went off to continue his quest. Esli followed him quickly.

"Wait! I know your looking for the Mythic Dawn, and I know how to get there without getting all four of the stupid books."

Leo stopped and look at her oddly.

"The secret code in the book is the first letter of each paragraph, it's "Green Emperor way where tower touches midday sun." Which basically means go to green emperor way at noon."

Leo was confused. "How would you know this?"

"It's a secret" She winked
