  I am a shady man, always up to no good, trying to join the Dark Brotherhood. One day I was at the Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm when I overheard someone talking about a boy preforming the Black Sacrament. After hearing this I went up to Elda Early-Dawn and asked if she heard any rumors. Being the Gossip she is she told me about Aventus Aretino and how he was preforming the Black Sacrament. Then I paid for the mead I drank and left.

  Once on the streets I looked around for the Aretino residence and quickly stumbled upon their house. I looked at the lock and easily picked it. Once I was inside he heard Aventus talking preforming the Black Sacrament. I silently stood behind the boy until he turned around and saw the dark elf glaring at him.

  "It worked! I knew you'd come, I just knew it! I did the Black Sacrament, over and over. With the body and the... the things. And then you came! An assassin from the Dark Brotherhood." Said Aventus excitingly.

  I just stood there silently not knowing really what to say.

  "You don't have to say anything. There's no need. You're here, so I know you'll accept my contract."

  "My mother, she... she died. I... I'm all alone now. So they sent me to that terrible orphanage in Riften. Honorhall. The headmistress is an evil, cruel woman. They call her Grelod the Kind. But she's not kind. She's terrible. To all of us. So I ran away, and came home. And performed the Black Sacrament. Now you're here! And you can kill Grelod the Kind!" Aventus replied with.

  After he gave me the contract I just left without saying one word, heading to Riften to kill Grelod the Kind. 

  Once in Riften I located the orphanage and heard her yelling at all the children. Once I heard that I knew the poor children were abused and that she earned death. I turned the corner looked at her dead in the eye and cut off her head with my Dragon Bone sword. All the children became excited and started cheering for me and The Dark Brotherhood, even though I just murdered their guardian.

  I walked outside covered in the blood of the old woman, went to the stables, and took the nearest carriage to Windhelm. 

  When I went inside the boy was waiting for me he asked me "If I had done it" in which I replied "Yes." He was so excited but all he gave me a plate that was worth a measly 34 septims.

  Well what can you expect from a young  kid?
