Chapter 3
Tomus appeared in a lush valley with glowing lights in the sky above him, and an ominous mist blocking the path. Tomus looked around and saw the spirits of various people, including a stormcloak soldier and Rikke, and imperial who died by his hand in the war.
Tomus thought for a moment and decided that he'd try something.
"Lok Vah Koor!" Shouted Tomus and the mist rose, if only slightly.
The stormcloak ran through and waved his hand in thanks. While Rikke scowled and followed the stormcloak soldier. Tomus trekked through the mist, meeting no other resistance. He came up to a huge bridge, made from the bone of a huge animal, maybe a whale. In front of it was a man the size of a giant, wearing nothing but a studded loincloth and gauntlets. On closer inspection, Tomus realised that he was Tsun, the Nordic god of trials.
"What brings you, wayfarer grim, to wander here, in Sovngarde, souls-end, Shor's gift to honoured dead?" asked Tsun
"I seek entrance to the Hall of Valor" replied Tomus
"No shade are you, as usually here passes, but living, you dare the land of the dead. By what right do you request entry?" said Tsun, narrowing his eyes suspiciously
Tomus thought for a moment, he didn't think he'd have to prove himself to gain entrance. At a loss, he went for something that always seemed to work.
"By right of birth. I am Dragonborn" said Tomus with pride
"Ah! It's been too long since last I faced a doom-driven hero of the dragon blood." Tsun lightened up visibly.
Tomus, eager to get on his way asked: "Can I enter the Hall of Valor?"
Tsun frowned again and replied: "Living or dead, by decree of Shor, none may pass this perilous bridge 'till I judge them worthy by the warrior's test."
Tsun drew the axe on his back and swung it at Tomus, who ducked and tackled Tsun since he didn't get his weapon out fast enough. Tsun was tough, but since Tomus had the element of surprise, he went down. Tomus began to beat Tsun around the head and shoulders until Tsun threw him of and he went flying back. Tomus grated to a halt, then drew his bow. Enchanted with flame and soul-stealing power, combined with the fact it was Daedric, it had helped him take down many a dragon. He fitted an arrow and loosed it right between Tsun's eyes. Tsun was stunned, but still coming. Tomus, realizing that wasn't going to work; he simply resorted to filling Tsun's face with fire and ice magic. Tsun soon gave in, unable to land a hit on Tomus.
"You have proven yourself a great warrior, you may pass." Said Tsun, patting the flames out.
Tomus proceeded along the bridge and entered the Hall of Valor, unsure of what he would find inside.
