This chapter is kinda short too, the next one I promise will be really long.
Azure-
"Here's your ring, and here's the gold," I told to Mercer as I dumped a bag into his hands. "It's done" I nodded to Astrid as I walked by.
"Ah… I knew I could trust you on this, Mercer told me to send the best of the best," She said to me.
"Thank you mother," I said respectfully back to her. Our new headquarters was an old Dwemer ruin. After we blocked off the tunnel that lead to the old burial crypt, dug a secret entrance, and blocked off the main entrance, It was just like home.
The New Brotherhood, that's what we called ourselves now. Even though we were still technically two different groups, we worked together, stole together, and killed together, one big happy family. Only some of the guild members had faith, and it was in Nocturnal, thieves aren't really the religious type, but all of the assassins worshiped Sithis. It is why we kill, because someone prays to the Nightmother, Sithis's consort, and the Nightmother tells it to the listener. We don't have a listener anymore, so the Nightmother isn't of any use to us. When someone prays to the Nightmother, people hear about it, and it eventually gets to us, and we accept if the coin is good and the reason better.
I have been with the brotherhood for longer than I can remember. Astrid told me that she had found me in the snow, and when she saw my gift, she knew I would show great promise for the Brotherhood. So she took me in, raised me as her own, gave me the best training and contracts. And soon enough, I was the most feared assassin in Skyrim.
"Azure?" Astrid asked, "May I speak with you?"
"Of course mother, whatever you need," I replied.
"Mercer and I have a job for you," she said, a malicious grin on her face.
"What kind of job?" I asked, interested.
"Come with me," she said, and I followed her, wanting to know what this job of hers was. We walked into the planning room. Brynjolf, Kip, Daeris and Mercer were waiting for us to arrive. I had never met Daeris before, but I heard that she was a slut. It would be great working with her *cough, cough*. I glared at her, her and Kip used to be close, very close, I didn't like the fact that my best friend used to date a whore.
"Mercer, would you like to explain, our little… situation" Astrid said.
"Ah yes, you see, all four of you have been picked for your skills. Brynjolf and Kip are some of the two best thieves I know, Daeris is well known for her… seductive… skills, and Azure, as Astrid claims, is the best of the best at… dispatching her targets," he said, looking at each of us as he listed our strengths. "We have an opportunity to make the heist of a century, and I, I mean Astrid and I, have come up with a flawless plan. The only thing in question is if you can successfully complete this mission, Astrid, why don't you explain this plan we made,"
"The plan is simple enough, you are going to rob, the Empress of Tamriel." Astrid said, her face a held wicked grin.
