Hey all! Welcome back for chapter 2 :) It's a bit of a short one but I wanted to give y'all something. I own nothing but the original plot. Bethesda and Todd Howard are simply the divines whom I worship.

I woke to a hand shaking my shoulder. I rolled over and saw Delvin standing in the doorway to my bedroom. "What is it Delvin? Couldn't this wait until morning?"

"Fraid not Mercer. This somethin' that you'll definitely want to see."

"It had better be the heist of the era Delvin." I grumbled as I pulled my boots on and stood up. "Now where are you taking me at this gods forsaken hour?"

"Bryn said he'd meet us in The Vaults. I know it's about Etienne."

Etienne. He'd been missing for months and nobody had seen him. "What about him Delvin?"

"Don't know. All Bryn said was that it was about Etienne and that once all of us were together he'd tell us the rest. He said it was big."

We walked through the door of The Ratway Vaults and saw Brynjolf. Before he could even open his mouth and say a word we all heard a scream.

"Good you're here. I don't think she can hold back any further." Brynjolf said quickly. "Follow me and you'll understand." He quickly led us through the twists and turns of hallways until we reached a metal door. He quickly opened it and we all stepped inside.

We saw a figure slumped in a chair. Then a bolt of lightning came and struck the figure and we heard a voice scream out in agony. I looked around the room and saw Julielle standing there with lightning crackling in her hands. When she spoke her voice was filled with hatred and rage. "Do you have any idea how much you have to answer for Elf?" The figure stiffened at those words. "You tormented one of my brothers for MONTHS AND YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST LET YOU GO? You have been responsible for so much death and bloodshed!" She let loose another bolt of lightning. When the Elf screamed in agony we saw it throw its head back and that's when we got a look at who Julielle was throwing lightning at. It was First Emissary Elenwen.

A/N: So you got to see a bit more of Mercer yay! I'm trying to set him up so you can really get a good feel for his personality. I always thought that the guild-master should have been worried or concerned that someone was missing. I know I know there wasn't much of Julielle but she'll be way more involved next chapter.
