"Sithis wants to be my father?" Serana asked quizzically
"In case you can't figure it out. I am here to represent an order here in Skyrim, The Dark Brotherhood. A guild of assassins that is over looked by the Night Mother and even higher than that Sithis who holds us all in the cold embrace of the void." I begin "Something shifted in the wind and brought you to our attention, which lead our leader to send me on a hunting mission for you. Now, you have two options. One, you say yes, me and you go to Morthal where you will be expected to carry out your first kill. Once that is successfully completed, I will escort you to the Falkreath Sanctuary where you'll meet your new family."
"What's my second option?" She asked quietly
"We part our ways now and you have to go on and hope that no one asks for a bounty over your head. If that's the case the next time you see me, your head will meet my axe. Of course the choice is fully yours, but I think the first option is your best." I play with a cocky smile. "You told me the only way you would trust me is if I bring you home to your father's castle… Honestly that's not exactly something I want to do, but I've come this far so I'll escort you if this is what you want." As I finish she stairs behind her to the Elder Scroll behind her.
"I don't think he's ready for this…" She states addressing the scroll. "This might be my shot to keep it safe. Well, I guess after being locked away after god knows how long it would be good to have a source of adventure. But, I do not to religion… Not sense what happened, so don't go expecting me to be buddy-buddy with your god off the bat… If you can except that well then I guess, lead on"
It took us about an hour to get out of the cave, after killing a few more undead creatures we reached the open mouth. I watched as Serana was met with fresh air and light for the first time in possibly ages, I couldn't help but notice how brightly she smiled when took a look over Skyrim's bumpy landscapes. Thankfully the sun was setting so she shouldn't have much discomfort for our journey. Walking to Morthal was uneventful, the odd spider but nothing that required a ton of effort. Serana was defiantly skilled with magic, she had impressive aim with her spells and was to cast for a long time before needing a break. Festus and Gabriella will defiantly have an easy time getting along with her. She needs a bit more work with a dagger, she has the skill for it but too much hesitation to make a deep and clean cut, Vezara and myself could work those kinks out over time. I offered to hold on to her sack as she did the kill but she insisted on carrying it with her.
"See that house on the left? That's our mark." I state pointing it out with my axe. "A man lives there, his ex-wife has called upon the Night Mother to rid him because of his constant affair's. He lives alone so your task is simple, go in and make your kill. I don't care how you do it and if you feel the need to announce yourself or not, just get it done. I will be observing from the window." I finished as I darted for the house, in hope to arrive their before the guards do another patrol.
Once I arrive at the house I position myself by the window, turning to see Serana watching me I give her a nod of encouragement as she enters his home. For the most part I can't see much, just a few shadows. However, once Serana enters home she creeps over to his bed and cast a pink cloud over his head. This type of magic was something that I didn't know, I watched in amazement as he rose swiftly from his bed, and Serana wasted no time grabbing him by the shoulder and tucking her head into his neck.
"Why is she kissing his neck?" I muttered to myself when it hit me. Serana is a vampire… she's not kissing him she's drinking him. I watch as his body grows weaker and weaker until she drops him down, turning and dismissing herself. Almost instantly she shows up at my side, pupils dilated and a tiny amount of blood dripping from her lower lip. She stared at me for acceptance or even a nod of approval.
"You and I will get along just fine my dear... Now what do you say, why don't we take this relationship to Falkreath and you can meet the rest of your family. I think you'll be a fine sister."
The travel form Morthal to Falkreath is long and exhausting. Serana slowly keeps growing nosey and asking questions about my personal life, but every single time I ask her something she will just go quiet or change the subject.
'How old are you?'
"This will be my 22st fall and you."
"Old. What part of Skyrim are you from?"
"I'm not I'm from Morrowind, I arrived here during my 19th year. What about you?"
"Not important. Are you married?"
"I was engaged to a girl in Whiterun… She's now married to someone else."
"What happened?"
"Long story"
"Would you mind telling it to me?"
"Why won't you answer any questions about yourself?"
"I'm ancient history, there is nothing new or exciting about me."
Eventually I stopped answer her questions so she stopped asking, I began filling her in on current events. Considering she didn't even know who was at the seat of the Empire she must have been gone for a long time. I guess that's the thing with Immortality, when you don't have time to lose, keeping time has no meaning.
`"God this sun is making me miss the snow" Serana said breaking our brief silence.
"The sanctuary is just up the road, it won't be long now."
Within the matter for fifteen minutes we were standing at the skeleton door of the sanctuary. I push open the thick door with my hand, as the door opens a cold gust of wind shoots out from the cool sanctuary below. Making it down the first step I turn to see Seranas eyes on mind as if waiting a command.
"Welcome home, Sister."
