The soft crunch of snowy grass under foot, the fresh smell of falling snow, the cold breeze of the bitter ice-wind. I snuck to the guard tower I had used the other night and shoved the door open, I closed the door and jammed a piece of wood under it, next I cast a fire rune just behind. If anyone made it that far they would die and the tower would burn. I moved up to my vantage point from the night before and surveyed the guards. Two guarding the front door, one on the second level and none on the balcony. I pulled out my bow and an arrow. I tied a bit of rope around the arrow and nocked my bow. I aimed at the second floor door and shot my arrow it went flying through the air and struck just above the door I pulled on the string a few times just to make sure it held. The guard was still completely oblivious to what was happening no more than two metres away from him.
I took the end of the rope and tied it to a post, then I unthreaded my belt wrapped around the rope and ziplined to the house.
The wind took my hair and I couldn’t help but feel elated as I whipped through the air. I reached the house just as the guard turned around, I planted both feet into his face and slammed him in the wall. He was just about to scream but I flipped him over my knee and slashed his throat with my elven dagger. I grabbed my belt tied it back on sheathed my dagger and opened the house door.
I crouched down low and started moving through the corridor checking every room I came across. Then I heard voices drift down the corridor, I dived into the nearest room, shut the door just enough so I could see out of it and started listening to it. “He’s getting so paranoid, starting to ramble on about how she’s coming, she’s murdered and now she’s coming for him,”
I know he’s being a complete nutcase but he pays us so it doesn’t really faze me, maybe one day he’ll forget how much he’s supposed to pays us and give us a raise.”
They both walked off, as they passed me I could smell, vomit, mead, and skeever droppings. They passed and I slowly opened the door and crept out behind them I pulled out my daggers, Dwarven In my left hand and elven in my right. Creeping ever slowly behind them, then I jumped. My elven one went through the guards head and my Dwarven one through the others throat.
The worn shag carpet kept on going down the hall. I was passing a room then stopped it looked different instead of the normal wooden doors this one was a deep rich ebony colour the bright red markings on it. Cautiously I touched the door, the red markings were actually grooved into the door and the ebony coloured door felt smooth and clean cut like actual ebony. Then with a start I realised it was ebony, I pushed open the large heavy doors into a large beautifully decorated room.
Rich tapestries hung on the wall, gold decorated the room, weapons of ranging rarity hung on the wall and there in the middle of the room in a rectangular glass container hung a whip. Not any ordinary whip though it was moonlight silver colour and the handle was bone white, it was actually a bone from a dragon priest skeleton. I instantly recognized the whip Leviathan. It used to be my best friends weapon until the day we were hunted down by the dark elf (whose house I was standing in right now) and his friends. Then a hand grabbed my shoulder and threw me against a wall, a female came into view wrapped her hand around my throat and started choking me. She was a dark elf heavily built, kind face, deep green eyes, and ruby red lips. I knew who she was Ariana slenski, Vivec’s wife. I punched her but she kept tightening her grip like she didn’t notice. My lung were starting to lose oxygen, my vision was blurring. I was dying I needed to escape, I swung my leg around and hit the back of her legs the buckled momentarily but that was enough for me, I bought my knee up and it smashed into her chin she flew back and I regained my breath. She came back at me I rolled to the side and her fist struck the wall I jumped up and smacked my foot across her face, she stumbled backwards blood dribbling over her lip. I jumped forward and smashed into her stomach then went to punch her, however she grabbed my fist, twisted my arm behind my back and started pulling, trying to break it. I shot my elbow back and smashed her hand I then kicked at her knee and elbowed her head. I picked her up by the throat and smashed her into the glass case, it didn’t break so I grabbed her under the armpits, picked her up and pitched my whole weight into my throw. She sailed through the air straight into the glass case, it smashed glass flew everywhere, and Leviathan flew straight into a wall.
I walked straight past the dark elf and picked up Leviathan. I smiled this weapon had been missing for so long now it was back. I unfurled the whip and aimed at a wall, the wall cracked and started crumbling at least the whip still works I thought, “Now let’s see if your special enchantment works,” I muttered. I aimed the whip at a vase and shot the whip at it, it wrapped around the vase and I pressed a hidden button and blue flaming spikes shot out of the whip and sheared right through the vase splitting it in half. I laughed and it was a good laugh I actually meant it in a cruel sadistic way.
I walked over to the dark elf, she had glass sticking out of her, moaning as a pool of blood built up around her, I wrapped the whip around her stomach and slapped her around the face “Wake up bitch,” she started turning then opened her eyes. “You are not to talk you are to nod or shake your head when I ask a question, do you understand?” she nodded, “Ok good girl now I presume you know what this whip can do, so you’re going to follow me and do as I say.”
It was ten minutes later and 3 dead bodies that I found myself standing behind the front door, “so those two are the last two guards?” she nodded. “Ok here’s the plan you’re going to scream out for help, then they’re going to run in and I’ll kill them and if you do that I won’t kill your husband or you, deal?” She bowed her head in shame but a second later she nodded. “Good girl.”
“HELP!” her silky smooth voice, mixed with pain and anguish rang out. The doors were opened and two guards rushed in the first one stepped on a lightning rune and was disintegrated the second one tried to turn back was to sow and my throwing knife sunk right through his forehead. I pulled my throwing knife out and sheathed it. “Let’s go see your husband.”
Their room was fancy deep blue carpet, display cases crammed with gems, a large bed, and most distinctively the large golden two handed sword in Vivec’s hand. “Vivec put the sword down before I shear your wife in half,” Slowly he started putting the sword down he then dropped it on the ground and slid it to me. “What do you want?” he asked as he watched his wife,
“You know want I want give me the schematics and the dagger and I won’t kill your wife,” I replied anger showing in my voice as to intimidate him. “Ok the dagger and schematics are in a safe behind the painting of me and my wife,” he said pointing to a large painting set in a golden frame. I walked up to it still holding the whip in my hands, I ripped the painting off the wall and looked at the safe, “What’s the code?”
“15, 12, 12,”
I entered the code and the safe opened, inside were the two things I had been looking for the schematics for a new crossbow and the dagger. The dagger blade was a rich green like the glow of a spriggan and the hilt was a deep amethyst purple. Tholstein was finally back to its rightful owner. I turned around and looked at Vivec, and he looked at me. “Can you let my wife go now?” he asked I smiled then shook my head “You took my wife now I’m taking yours,” with that I pressed the button and blue spikes cut the dark elf in half Vivec ran forward and started crying. “Do not leave this world in pain my sweet leave it with happy thoughts leave it with my love,” with that he gave her a final kiss and looked at me. I leapt forward and sashed his throat with Tholstein. “Revenge is finally mine.” I said then left all the while setting fire to the walls.
I climbed back through the window changed out of my clothes, hid Leviathan, hid Tholstein, stored my weapons and put on my tavern clothes. I walked down the stairs and sat at the bar. Rose came over “Why are you so happy?” she asked with a curious look on her face.
“I had a really good dream, when do you finish?”
“Now actually,” as soon as she finished I took her hand and led her up to my room.
Nightshade slammed rose down on the bed and started undoing her clothes, when the clothes came free at last nightshade ripped them off and started kissing down roses’ neck, slowly working her way down to her breasts, rose moaned with pleasure, and for hours all you could hear was the sound of pleasure and delight.
My head pounded, my eyes slowly fluttered open. It was cold and damp, a torch hung on each of the four walls, and standing with a smug look on her face was a scarred argonian. “Where am I?” I questioned the argonian as I slowly sat up, “You’re in wonderland, where the fuck do you think you are you stupid bitch!”
“Ok give me a minute, stone walls, cold, damp, lots of torches, so I’m underground. You’re dressed in black and red, you took me unnoticed, therefore you’re thieves guild or dark brotherhood but the thieves guild is brown or black so you the db, which means you’re going to ki…” Before I finished the sentence I leapt across the room and punched her straight across the face, In the face of violence always attack first I had been told that countless times. She dropped I picked her up by the collar and slammed her to the ground. She laughed “Lower arrows,” she shouted then suddenly light streamed through a hundred different hoes in the wall. “Good girl you passed your initiation, welcome to the dark brotherhood, if you so choose we need you to travel to windhelm and assassinate an assassin that will be trying to kill high king ulfric and high queen Kim as they renew their vowels of marriage.”
“Anything else I should know?” I asked
“Yes actually you need it to look like you were saving them not assassinating someone, you have three days to reach windhelm, when the job is done go to the inn and say to the bartender, a rose made of blood, a moon made of wax are the things that hunt best. She will signal a family member to contact you, ask them to map castle volkihar for you, and then travel there to report to our listener. When you meet him make sure you show the listener the respect he deserves, make sure you show respect to Karsa Orlong
