Gentleman Adventurer
A True Gentleman
Eldric hurried about the lab, trying to fix everything in time. When he had arrived at Master Telvayn's lab five months ago, he had expected to find the ancient and powerful sorcerer he had heard tales of. Instead, he found a broken old man who had lost everything.
Though Master Telvayn had lost his magic, he still had centuries of research in the mystic arts. The Dunmer had offered Eldric a deal: if the Nord helped him in his last few months, he would allow him access to his library. Eager to learn anything he could, the boy agreed.
It was hard work, making sure that Master Telvayn was kept alive long enough to see his friends, but Eldric didn't mind much. After a long day of cooking and cleaning, he would retire to the library, where he spent hours upon hours pouring over ancient tomes and forgotten volumes. Despite not having much time for practice, Eldric was sure his powers had been greatly increased.
He had just finished dusting the automatons when he heard a knock at the door. "Coming!" The boy hastily moved toward the doors, but tripped over a large Dwemer spider. With a resounding crash, the spider fell apart and Eldric hit the floor. Gingerly lifting himself up, the Nord resumed his sprint.
Reaching the door, Eldric pulled it open. Two people stood out in the cold. There was a beautiful Nord woman and a shifty-looking Imperial man. "Welcome. You must be Elsa and... Pilus, right? Excellent." The two travelers stood for a few seconds, staring at the boy awkwardly.
"Oh! Right. Please, come on in." As the two stepped into the laboratory, Eldric gave them a small bow. "I am Eldric of the Skaal, apprentice to Master Telvayn. It's an honor to meet both of you. I'm aware I may have interrupted your conversation, so please, carry on. Master Telvayn wishes for everyone to be present before he is spoken to. Conserving what little energy he has left. I'll fetch some refreshments. When the others have gathered, I'll take you to him." He walked off to the kitchens, leaving the guests alone.
