The Journal of an Argonian Thief Part 2 Chapter 2

  •      When we went back inside we talked work. "You will be going to steal a very important artifact from Whiterun", said Ereesei. "Where I what is it?", I asked back. "The Jarl's prized circlet. He never wears it but he does keep it in a case with a master lock. So I would hone your lock picking skills before you take this on. There's and infinite time limit for this task but don't take too long.", Ereesei explained. "Alright I'll do my best". And with that I traveled to Whiterun. I met no enemies on my way to Whiterun so that made me happy. When I walked into Whiterun I was stopped by some Redguard Alik'r warriors trying to find some Redguard woman. I agreed to help them considering they were paying and I had an infinite time limit for the stealing of the circlet. I went to the Bannered Mare to look for this Redguard woman. To my surprise I saw a woman that fit the description and approached her. "Hey you Redguard, I started, I need a word with you". "Sure what do you need?" she asked back. "There's some Alik'r out there looking for a woman like you". "Damn! I knew they would find me but not now". "What did you do?" I asked. "We can't talk here meet upstairs right after closing time here's the key for The Bannered Mare". I took it and went home to, my face lost all it's color, Nakuma.

         I walked to Breezehome slowly trying to think what I'll say. "Hey I don't really love you anymore I love a thief woman I've barely known for a day bye!". Just as I was about to enter Nakuma came out and met me with a "thud!" "Oh Rakhem your back. Wait why are you back so quickly?" she asked me. "Well I had some...business to attend to in Whiterun". "Oh okay well come on in we can have some supper". "Yeah Nakuma I have something to tell you". "What is it Rakhem?". "That I...love and missed you so much."Nice thinking smarts!", I thought to myself. But inside I knew I meant it. I knew now that I was torn between two women. One who I've known since childhood and one who I just met. Some regular Argonians might have said "Well take the one you've known since childhood dope!". This is were I wanted a father to talk to this about. Then it hit me.

         I could go to Falkreath and talk with Kiru and Kal. They wouldn't appreciate me being there on first sight but I guess they could accept me once more. "Nakuma I need to go to Falkreath now". "Oh okay well could you say "hi" to my parents for me?" "Sure Nakuma goodbye". "Goodbye and see you soon". Then I set off. I decided to get a carriage ride so I could get there quickly. I went to the carriage driver and told him "Take me to Falkreath", and handed him 50 septims. He agreed and we set off. When we got to Falkreath my IQ about Skyrim was doubled and I had "Ragnard The Red" stuck in my head. Hey that rhymes. But i'll never take another carriage ride again. I walked to Kiru and Kal's house and knocked on the door. "Who are you?", Kiru asked opening the door. "Kiru it's me...Rakhem". "Stay away monster, stay away!", Kiru said rather loudly. "No Kiru I'm not a vampire anymore I'm cured". "How can I be sure?". I stepped out into the sunlight. "See no pain I'm not a vampire I wanted to talk to you". "Well you have some nerve coming back after you got Nakuma to go after you". "I didn't tell her to that was her decision", I said in my defense. "Well then hurry up and come inside what do you want?!". "I'm torn between two women and I don't know who to choose I need your help". "Well if you don't completely love Nakuma you don't deserve her". And I knew he was right.

           "Well thanks for your help I know what I need to do now". "Well goodbye then Rakhem tell Nakuma we say hi and that we love her". "I will sir thank you". But instead of going to Whiterun I headed for Solitude. I new now that I loved Nakuma but I had kill Ja-ree. I couldn't keep putting it off. But instead of heading north I headed east to set up camp. It was late and dark now so I gathered wood and leaves and made a fire. I set up a small bed and fell asleep. When I woke up I felt absolutely horrible. I tried rubbing my head but then I realized that I was tied up. I looked around and saw a woman dressed in red and black armor with a mask on. "So the spy finally awakes". She said. "Spy?,I started, I was just camping there so I could head to Solitude". "Is that so? Well my...family...figured you were a spy. If you're not you'll do something for me". "What do you want me to do". I asked. "If you turn around you'll see three people. One of them committed a crime and has a...contract...for their death". "Okay untie me and i'll do it. I'll kill one of them".

         "Okay then, she walked down and untied me, do it then kill one of them". I pulled my dagger and looked who was there. There was a Khajiit, an old woman, and a whimpering Nord. I didn't know which one to kill so I just stabbed all of them. "So which one had the contract on them", I asked. "That doesn't really matter what matters is that I told you to kill and you killed. Welcome to the Dark Brotherhood". I heard about the Dark Brotherhood before. They were a group of assassins who were losing their power. "So what you're saying is i'm part of a group of assassins now?". "Yes you are meet me in the sanctuary outside of Falkreath, when the door asks you the phrase answer "Silence My Brother", and we will talk there. But for now so long...Brother.
