Re-Birth

Chapter 1

A few hours after the incident of the destruction of the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, the only reminding survivor that was left in the sanctuary awoke. It was Veezara who survived the fire, but was left wounded and burnt. He looked around and saw there was just nothing left but the burnt ashes of his formal brothers and sisters. Veezara slowly walked around to see if he could find anything. Only found dead bodies, and of course, Astrid.

Veezara turned around and left the sanctuary. He knew deep down inside he couldn't face the Dark Brotherhood anymore. All he wanted is to serve the Brotherhood and make Astrid happy. But since she is dead, he has nowhere to turn. He limped into Falkreath and feel to his knees as soon as he entered town. The guard at the gate helped the Argonian up.

"Are you alright?" asked the guard.

"Uggh," Veezara groaned in pain, "I, I think so…"

"Here, let me help you to the Inn."

The guard put one of Veezara's arms on his shoulder and took him into Dead Man Drink's. The guard was nice enough to rent Veezara a room for the night and get him anything that could heal him. The guard helped Veezara into his room.

"You look like you were near death there, Argonian," said the guard. "What happened to you?"

"Well, my family was killed by the Penitus Oculatus."

"Wait…you mean you're a member of the Dark Brotherhood?"

"Well my outfit is a dead giveaway, even with all the blood marks."

The guard slowly took off his helmet to think about what to do in this moment. He looked back at the wounded Argonian and said.

"You know I have arrest you for who you are and what you've done."

"I had a feeling. Do as you wish, I'm in no condition to put up a fight."

"…Sigh. I won't do it."

"Why not, won't that get you in trouble?"

"Only if anyone finds out. I believe in second chances for everyone, no matter what race or even if they're evil."

"Thank you, kind sir. I'm in your debt now."

"Don't mention it. Now lets see if I can get you some healing potions."

The guard walked out of the room and tried to buy some health potions. While Veezara waited, a mysterious voice from no where spoke to him. The voice of the Daedric Prince, Dagon.

"Ahh, your finally awake and alone at the perfect time." Dagon said.

"Who's there?" asked Veezara. "Show yourself!"

"Calm down mortal, I come in peace if you allow it."

"What do you want?"

"Oh, I'm just here to see if you're going to repay the favor."

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't you see? If it wasn't for me, you'd be dead by now!"

"What do you-"

"Why is it that you were able to survive the fire in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary? Was it because of a certain Daedric Prince saved your life?"

Veezara was silent, had nothing to say after that.

"Yeees. I spared your life. I spared you going to the Void."

"Why?"

"I have my reasons. Now, unless you want me to kill you were you sit right now, do as I say!"

Veezara looked at his lap and found Mehrunes' Razor sitting there. He picked up the dagger and had a bad feeling in his gut about what he was going to say.

"Now then, to prove your worth I need you to use that dagger and kill the guard who helped you." said Dagon.

"No, I can't. He helped me, he didn't turn me in, and-"

"I. Have. Spoken!"

The guard walked in with a health potion and gave it to the wounded Argonian.

"Here, drink this." He said, as he handed him the potion.

Veezara hid the dagger before the guard could see it and drank the potion. He felt a whole lot better, and felt like he could keep going.

"Thank you…" Veezara said. "Um, I have a favor to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Could you close the door?"

The guard turns his back and closes the door. With quickness, Veezard put his hand over the guard's mouth and slit his throat. The guard started to bleed to death, and quickly he died. Vezzara put away Mehrunes' Razor and heard Dagon's voice once again.

"Goood. Gooooood. You can still murder in cold blood. You will need that." Dagon said.

"What do you want from me?" asked Veezara.

"In time I will reveal, but first I have a task for you. Go to Darkwater Crossing, and there you will meet an Argonian named Derkeethus. Tell him to join you in your 'adventure.'"

"It will be done…"

Veezard took the guard's Imperial Bow, Steel Arrows, and hid the body under the bed. It wasn't going to be long for someone to find the body so he had to leave quickly. He ran out of town and made his way to Darkwater Crossing.
