Dilin and Jessica stood in front of the dwarven ruin Mzulft. Dilin walked toured the door and try to open it, but it was locked. "So how do expect us to get in, it's locked." He said turning around looking at her. She pulled out a key from her mage coat pocket.

"With a key of course." She walked toured the door and put the key. When the door opened they saw a man in a blue hooded mage coat, he was dead. He died from blood loss. Next to his body were a key and an open journal. In the journal was a message that read 'they stole the focus crystal, please whoever reads this, please get it back and take it to the oculory.' Jessica picked up the book and began to read through it. Dilin grabbed the key and opened the door. She put the book down, "so apparently they had a research project down here on something called the 'oculory' and didn't have a focusing crystal. So they went and got one delivered. You can see how that turned out." She spoke as they walked. Suddenly the floor under Jessica's foot went down. In a second Dilin tackled her to the ground as spikes came down, trying to impale them but failed. "That was a close one. Thanks for the save." She looked up and saw a dead man, and jumped back. "Ahhh" she screamed at the site of the dead man that was face to face with her a second ago. He had two holes in his shoulder and one on the top of his head.

"It looks like he didn't have the same reflexes as me." Dilin said while taping the body with his foot. He helped her up. "Come on we have to continue." As they they walked in the next room, two dwarven spiders charged them. Jessica took one out with a lightning bolt, Dilin cut the other one down. They both continued into the ruin fighting more and more dwaven spiders and sapphire here and there. They came across more and more dead bodies taking what they could use from them. When they entered a room they found a few dead falmer and dwarven spiders.

"What are these?" she said poking the dead falmer with her sword.

"It's a falmer. You never seen one before?" he asked as he cut off falmer ears from the body's. 'I can make some good poison with these later.

"Wait, so this is a falmer? I thought they would be uglier."

"Why is that?"

"When I was a little girl, my dad used to tell me if I didn't behave, a falmer would come for me, as they did for all the bad children of the world. I just thought they would look uglier from how my dad described them."

"I have heard of a lot of thing parents tell their children to make them behave, I can honestly say I never heard of that one before."

"Come on something tells me we are going to have a challenge getting through those falmer." As they continued they ran into a lot of falmer and chaurus. They walked into a room; it was huge, full of falmer and a few chaurus. A little while later Dilin pulled his sword out of a chaurus and used a piece of cloth he took from a dead falmer, and cleaned of his blades.

"I hate these thing so much." he dropped the cloth onto the corps, and put his swords into their sheaths. He then saw something at the corner of his eye, something shiny. It was on a falmer shadowmaster that he doesn't remember him or Jessica killing. He walked toured the shadowmaster, he leaned down to grab it when suddenly the shadowmaster got up and talked Dilin. "SHIT!" he shouted.

"Dilin!" she heard him shout, she then shot an ice spike at the falmer, but it was blocked by another falmer that was playing dead. The shadowmaster used its magic to try and freeze Dilins face at close range. 'So you were playing dead, clever bastered.' Dilin thought to himself, he then grabbed its arms to try and stop the hand from getting to his face. He head-butt it twice and then kneed it in the stomach. It fell over in pain, and Dilin got to his feet and kicked it in the face, he then grabbed his dagger and threw it at the falmer that was blocking all of Jessica's ice spicks.

"You die, you become food for chaurus.' Dilin heard a dark and sinister voice behind him. The shadowmaster had gotten up and was talking. "I kill you. I feed you to chaurus."

"Did that thing just talk?" Jessica asked

"You… you can speak?" dilin asked confused.

"Yes, me smart, you dumb, you fall for trick, you die." The falmer said.

"I will admit, playing dead was smart, but not having a weapon on you is isn't." dilin said raising his hand that had a falmer sword in it. The shadowmaster reached to his belt and noticed its sword was gone. It then began to back away. Jessica saw the shining object, which was still on the falmer, that dilin was going to take earlier.

"Hey I think that is the focusing crystal." She said pointing at it. The falmer then hissed at her.

"MINE, its mine, my shiny, mine, not yours." The falmer held the crystal close. Dilin conjured his bow and pulled an arrow from his quiver.

"Listen, if you give us the crystal, I'll let you go. If you don't, well I'll just kill you." Dilin said as he pulled the arrow back and aimed at its head. "What will it be?"

The falmer seemed to think about it. "…it's MY shiny, not yo-"an arrow flew into its head before it could finish.

"I gave it a chance." His bow dissipated as he walked to the shadowmaster and took the crystal and put it in his bag. They both walked toured the door they both thought might be the correct way. He tried to open it but it was locked and required a key. "Damn it." He cursed under his breath. "If it needs a key then I got one right here." He put his finger in the lock and then the lock grew a bright orange before melting. The liquid metal seemed to flow around his hand as he used magic to protect himself from the dangerous liquid. "And like that there is no more lock." He announced proudly as he opened the door.

"Come on, were close I can feel it." Jessica said moving ahead. They ran into few more falmer till they got to door with dead falmer in front of it. 'Burn marks, looks like someone is still alive down here.' She thought to herself. She then knocked on the door.

"Who is there?" a man asked from the other side. "gavros is that you?" he asked as he opened the door. "Thank god you're- you're not gavros! Who are you?" the man exclaimed as he was ready to cast a fire spell. Dilin raised his hands

"Wow buddy we are not here to hurt you."

"What do you want?" he asked putting down his hand and the spell.

"I am from the college of winterhold. I came here to look for something. Can you help us?" Jessica asked kindly. The man looked them both over.

"And why should I help you." Dilin reached into his bag and pulled out the crystal.

"We'll give you shiny." he said as he showed the man the focusing crystal.

"The focusing crystal! Yes! Finally, after so long my research will be complete. Come and help me set everything up and I will help you with what you need." He then began to walk up the stone walkway. He blabbered about how he had been researching it for a while, and how glad he was that he had the crystal to finish his research. Dilin wasn't listing as he was looking at the crystal. "Now, put the crystal there and we can begin." He said pointing at the odd object in the middle of the room. "Use frostbite and flame to move the panels at the right angle and it should be complete." After putting the crystal in place he used frostbite and flame to solve the puzzle. After he was done a map appered near were Jessica and the other man were. The map was of northern tamriel, half of the map wasn't showing up. "Something is wrong the map is obscured half of it is gone." He turned to Jessica and Dilin. "You, you two did something didn't you?" he looked back at the map. "Something at your college is causing interference. And there seems to be another location dotted…labyrinthian? You two what is going on?! I DEMAND answers right now!" the man shouted in anger ready to cast a dangerous fire spell. Dilin grabbed his arm and punched the man in the face knocking him out cold.

"It's time for you to take a nap." He said putting the man on to ground gently. He then looked at the map. "labyrinthian huh?"

"Do you know where that is? Have you been there before?" Jessica asked curiously as they walked away.

"No I haven't but I know about it. Aberrantly someone sealed it up a long time ago; no adventurer has been able to get in since." As they walked through a set of doors everything stopped. Suddenly a man wearing Psijic Order robes appeared before the both of them. "Who are you?" dilin said reaching for his sword.

"Hold on he is on our side." She said stopping dilin.

"Listen there isn't much time it is important you get back to your college right now." The mysteries man said. "Hurry and go there isn't much time!" and with that he disappeared.

"Wait! What's going on?!" she said a second too late. "Crap. We have to get to the college, let's go!" they both ran out the door to find themselves on the side of a mountain. "darn it, we will never make it there fast enough from here."

"Not exactly." Dilin said net to her.

"What do you mean?"

"I can teleport." Said in a low voice

"That's good, and then we'll make it in time."

"Well…"

"What is wrong?"

"I never been to or near the college of winterhold before, and that could be dangerous." He said while pulling out a map of skyrim that had a bunch of writing all over it and drawings of mountains, caves, lakes, cities, etc. of places he has visited before. Other than that the map was blank. "Where is the college?" he asked

She pointed at the corner of the map where the college was, and then he put the map in his bag. "How dangerous? Have you done it before?"

"Yes, and it's something I regretted almost instantly. You might want to hold on." When he said that, she grabbed his hand.

"Why?"

"I... sort of ended up in a different dimension." He focused his magic, hoping he can get it right,

"What!?" then they both disappeared.
