//------------------------------// // egdelwonk fo rewot ehT // Story: Marked with Power // by Thenewbluebrony //------------------------------// As I walked up to the tower I noticed that Pisica was nowhere to be found. I realized he must not have followed me when the door opened. I felt a power surround me as I got to the door, the power became stronger as I entered the tower. The first thing I saw was three pyramid-shaped pedestals and a chair with a human skeleton in each corner of the room. One pedestal was surrounded by water, the next was surrounded by grass, and the last had a hole in the roof over it that shows the sky and in the middle of the room was a lever and a book. All of the pedestals had the same three animals on them a whale, a snake, and an eagle. "I think I remember the answers from the game but I am going to read the book to be safe," I said as I went up and read the book. 'Man in his throne so should he be.' 'Whale in the sea so should he be.' 'Eagle in Sun's Sky so should he be.' 'Snake in the weeds so should he be.' I went up to each and turned them so the animal mentioned in the book was in the correct environment. I then went to pull the lever and noticed the holes below the lever were an inch in diameter and had pipes that were connected to the pedestals and the lever. I assumed that if this was wrong I would be getting pierced by darts. I took a deep breath and pulled the lever waiting for the pain that never came. I then heard the door open to the stairs that go up to the next floor. On the next floor, I saw three statues of different races in Skyrim and a sign the three races were Khajiit, Orc, And Nord. Each having a lever, the sign said. 'What race emits a battle cry that frightens combatants?' I knew it could not be the Khajiit because they get togglable night vision. So I had a fifty-fifty shot. The floor was the same as the one below. I remember that they both do emit a war cry when their ability is used. I had to think real hard until I realized the only things I looked at were the statues and the sign, I then looked around and found a chest. It had a minor health potion. I then went to investigate the statues and found a few clues, on the Nord it said fear, on the Orc it said berserk, on the Khajiit it said night. I decided to go with the clue that was on the Nord and flipped the lever in front of it. The door to the next stairway opened. The next floor revealed a skill, spell, and gear quiz. It had three signs each with three levers behind them. I decided to only look at the first one for the time being. The first sign said. 'What skill is the Quiet casting spell under?' Left lever was Illusion Middle lever was conjuring Right lever was alteration This one was an easy one because all I had to do was check the trees of those skills and I found that Quiet casting was under Illusion so I pulled the left lever. The next was about spells and the sign said. 'What elemental name does use the three primary destruction elements.' Left Elemental fury Middle Elemental bolt Right elemental blast I knew it could not be elemental fury due to it being a shout that lets the user strike faster so I knew it was a fifty-fifty. I decided to guess and went for the right one due to me not using destruction magic much. It turns out I was wrong and got hit with ten arrows doing fifty points to my health. I decided to switch my shout to become ethereal. so I can avoid damage in case I get it wrong again. I knew now it had to be bolt and went to pull it. I was correct. The next sign said. ' What weapon is the most like me Discord?' Left Dawnbreaker Middle Sanguine Rose Right Wabbajack I know Discord is a chaos god and the Wabbajack is given by a chaotic Daedric Prince. So I decided to do the obvious choice and picked the right lever. The door to the next stairway opened. I went up the stairs to find I was at the top of the tower. I saw a new door appear and when I walked up to it I felt a shock. I then thought of something. Each of the rooms had its own door in the room so this must mean I need to go back to the house and not just keep going forward recklessly, plus I need to pick up some food to help heal myself. A mistake I made when I came in here without thinking of picking up any kind of supplies. As I went down the tower I noticed Statues of discord had appeared on each floor. As I got outside I found the door and when I went to open it the doorknob came flying off and ate me. When I woke up I had found myself back inside Discord's house. I was glad to find that Pisica was safe. I told him to follow me when I opened the next door. I decided to grab one hundred pounds of meat. I was carrying a total of one hundred and fifty-three pounds after that. I then decided to search the area to see if I could find anything to help with the next room and I found a note. "Snooping around are you at the end of this day you will fly and wail, like a siren who had a shark bite her tail." What did I expect from a note left by a chaotic being? I then went to the second door and had Pisica follow me. We were then blinded as I went through the door to find a colosseum.
