Dragonborn Saga

s of lightning, or by emitting poisonous gases from a bag.

Jon calculated the location of the hidden Dwarven Spiders and cast ’Muffle ’ to hide his sounds, ’Invisibility ’ to hide his image, ’Hasten ’ to buff his speed, and ’Levitation ’ to float in the air.

He then started to float into the room slowly.

However, once he passed the door, the ’Levitation ’ spell was canceled.

Jon who was mid-air fell on his feet but luckily, no sound came out.

His heart almost jumped from its place and he looked around frantically, he then came to a realization.

’A no-fly zone? As expected of Lord Fyr… Still, I should have brought a change with me. ’

Jon was intending to pass through the first section of the room while floating but it didn ’t seem to be working.
He then had another idea and tried to teleport himself outside the room.

’As expected! Teleportation doesn ’t work too.
Which means if I wanted to use the scroll to exit the dungeon, I need to run outside the room first. ’

It was annoying but Jon understood the rules of the game.
He remembered the saying of Lord Fyr in ’TES3: Morrowind ’ when he said that he likes sport and his favorite sport is to watch people sneak into his dungeon.
This must be the most favorite round of Lord Fyr.

”As you wish, Great Grandmaster.
I will entertain you to the best of my ability. ”

Jon whispered those words in a low tone.

Not far from what he is, a Dark Elven man with white hair was sitting and nodding with a smile.
Behind him were five Dark Elven women, four of them looked like him and the last one was Nurina.
They all looked at a screen like a mist that reflected the image of the room Jon was in.

Back to Jon, he looked up and down, left and right to see if there is anything that he may use to pass the first section unscathed.
The only clue he found was that every tile of the floor was a pressure plate and all had foot marks and numbers.

Jon looked closely then opened his eyes wide from what he realized.

”Fuck! Is this…
a Master Level Hopscotch? ”

He was right! The numbers and the footmarks on the tiles meant that it was a hopscotch game.
The lane of tiles even had branches for those who wanted to pick a treasure from the first section of the room.

Hopscotch is a popular children ’s playground game in which players toss a small object into numbered triangles or a pattern of rectangles outlined on the ground and then hop or jump through the spaces to retrieve the object.

This game, however, had no object to toss, it had a treasure to retrieve and a failure probably means death.

The footmarks meant that it only can fit the foot of an adult which means boots were very dangerous in such a game.
Jon took off his boots right away.

The first tile required the left foot, so did the second and the third all the way to the ninth.
Jon could only do so and jumped on the first.

’Phew, nothing happened. ’ Jon was feeling better when he didn ’t mess this one up. ’

Each tile was one meter in length so it wasn ’t that hard to jump from a center to the other except it needed a certain accuracy.
As Jon was a tall person, he wasn ’t really disadvantaged in this trail at all.

He started hopping all the way to the ninth tile, the tenth hop was to be done on two tiles with two feet.
Once Jon tired it, he almost felt that he was about to screw it up if a foot landed before the other.

With all the strength that he could muster, he managed to land with the two feet at the same time.

”Fuck, a scale! ”

The tenth tiles were connected like a scale, he had to keep the balance between the two while trying to jump to the eleventh.

”Fu- fu- fu- fu- fuaaack! ” Jon was barely keeping the balance and his legs were trying to keep up with the scale movement until he finally jumped to the eleventh tile.
As he was about to land on the tile with his left leg, he realized that he got accustomed on the previous tiles where he used his left foot and this on changes to the right foot.
He switched to the right foot a femtosecond before the disaster falls.

”It is still dry down there, right? Phew1 ”

Jon took a few seconds to calm down and continued the way to the eighteenth tile were he had to face a scale again then finished it easily this time then passed the twentieth tiles and landed on the threshold between the first section and the second section.

He looked around and made a crying face.

His invisibility has long since gone and he only kept the Muffle spell for the sake of keeping silent.

After complaining for a while, he turned his face to the second section.
