Minx slowly reached into the blacksmith's pocket, then, with sly fingers, she managed to take out the desired item, a gold jewel necklace. Pocketing the item, she stood up and walked back towards the rat way. Piece of cake, she was a natural at this stuff, she loved this. She had to wonder what Vex had planned for her next. Walking towards the ledge, she stepped over the railing and leaped into the canal, something she found herself doing more times than not. It was quicker than walking, of course, it got her in trouble with the guards plenty of times. Well, that is if they ever caught up to her.
Swimming towards the stairs she shuttered a bit, the water was kind of cold. She walked onto the boarded path way and shivered, maybe next time she'll just walk down. She grabbed the door and walked into the cavern, The warm fire sapped away the coldness from earlier, her hair still wet, as she walked, she ringed it out. There was a nagging feeling in the back of her mind, like she was forgetting something, she didn't know what she could be forgetting though, she had the necklace! That's all she needed to get, at least, she thought that's all she needed...She was sure Vex just told her to take the necklace from the blacksmith and come right back.
With a head shake, Minx turned a corner and opened the door to the ragged flagon.
Taking the necklace out of her pocket she toyed with it around her fingers, she then walked up to Vex and tossed the necklace to the blonde woman, she caught it with ease.
"Good job, here, your pay." Vex said, giving Minx the gold. Mix smiled and felt the shiny metal between her fingers.
"Oh, Byrnjolf wants to speak with you, you know where to find him." Vex said, her voice, as usual, emotionless.
"Did he say what for?" Minx asked, that earned her a scoff.
"No, just go and talk to him yourself." Vex growled and Minx just turned and walked towards the thieves guild hide out. She should of known better than ask Vex, the most that woman's ever told her was what job to do and how to do it.
Still, a mission from Brynjolf that always mean lots of gold.
-Lasercorn and Joven-
Lasercorn had to admit, this was pretty sweet, they still haven't left the cave, they actually didn't want to. This was awesome, food that should last them at least a month, they had enough gold to go out and buy some more food if they wanted, some kick-ass weapons and now they where just chilling by the fire, feet up on the table, drinking some mead. Ah, this was good.
"So, when do you think we should go and look for the others?" Joven asked as he threw his empty mead bottle in to the fire. Lasercorn shrugged in response.
"Eh...They could be anywhere in Skyrim." Lasercorn said, handing another bottle to Joven.
"Your right, they could be anywhere..." Jove agreed, twisting the cap off of the bottle and taking a drink.
David felt kind of bad, here they where, just sitting down, not doing really much of anything. They need to look for the others but...They just didn't want to.
"So, I've been thinking." Joven said after a couple seconds of silence, it caused David to quickly look at his friend.
"Yes?" Lasercorn asked him.
"I...I want to raid something."
Lasercorn looked at Joven, they both just stared at each other, nobody saying anything, then Lasercorn put his drink down on the table, and brought his feet back down to the floor.
"You know what?...I want to as well..."
"You do?"
"Yes...Lets do it, lets find a caravan and take everything inside of it, then, after we get it out of our system, we can look for the others." Lasercorn said, grabbing his drink once again, Joven took another sip of his own and then nodded.
"Sounds good to me."
-Ken-
"Here, here! to our newest companion!" Farkas yelled out, raising his tankard to the air, the rest of the companions did the same.
"To brother...what did you say your name was again?" Vilkas asked the newest recruit
"Cinnamontoastken, but you can just call me Ken." Ken said happily as he took a sip out of his own tankard.
"To Cinnamontoastken!" The hall of the companions screamed out, Ken smiled and raised his tankard, then took another sip out of it. He was a companion, tonight, he was to be turned into one of them, a werewolf...He doesn't really know how he should feel about that just yet, but still, he's just enjoying the free food, armor, and weapons, for the time being. He looked at the apple pie and licked his lips, was he going to eat good tonight or what?
After indulging himself in food, seriously, he must of ate one of everything, salmon, cheese, apple pie, beef, if it was on the table and within arms reach, he ate it. After his stomach was full, and he felt like he couldn't move another inch, Skjor stood up.
"Now, we shall let the ritual began, Aela, Cinnamontoastken, come with me." Skjor ordered. With a heavy sigh, Ken got up, with some difficulty. Still, he got up and walked along with Kodlak and Aela.
"So, how does the ritual thingy go?" Ken asked them, they walked outside, the cold Skyrim air hitting him full force, he shivered darkly, he just wanted to go back inside, but no turning back now, he already ate all of their food!
The fact that they never answered him, made him even more uneasy. They walked towards the giant stone hill and much to his surprise there was a hidden door on the stone. It lead to a cave, slowly, Ken entered the cave with Skjor and Aela, he felt cautious and cold. After a few feet they made it to an opening, there, it was only one thing, a giant bowl of some sort.
He found himself standing in front of the bowl. his heart beating hard against his chest. Ken took a deep breath trying to calm himself down, Skjor and Aela stood opposite of him and Skjor spoke.
"You are ready, you have proved yourself worthy of the companions..."
Ken stood there, biting his lower lip nervously, maybe he made a mistake, maybe he should just turn and run.
Aela suddenly started to grab her head and twist around, Ken watched in horror as she changed from human to beast, he watched as her fingers turned into long claws and her face twisted into a dogs face, then she was standing there in front of him, her body now giant and furry, Ken really couldn't believe this.
"Aela will be your blood sister..." Skjor said as he walked up to her, his dagger drawn.
'Blood sister? What the hell did that mean?' Ken thought as he found himself watching this amazed.
Skjor ran the dagger along Aela's arm and then allowed the blood to drip into the bowl, Ken hoped he didn't have to what he thinks he had to do.
"Now, take a drink and become one of us." Skjor told him, Ken started to shake.
Drink blood? wasn't that what vampires do? Well, at least he wasn't getting bit.
Slowly, Ken cupped his hands and watched as the warm blood spilled into his cupped hands, shakily, he brought his hands up, he stopped just in front of his moth, was he really going to drink this woman's blood?
No turning back.
Taking a deep breath, he quickly gulped down the coppery tasting blood that was in his hands, he gagged and found himself sputtering out nonsense, the blood actually burned on the way down. It felt like he just swallowed fire. Then slowly, he felt his body started to change and morph. Then. he blacked out...
