Hey all Rylanor here, now I would like to thank you all for the kind feedback and following, it's encouraging.Now enjoy chapter 3 and Ave Imperator.
Familiar faces:
"Miss me" was all that was said and Vallarie just looked in shock before that wore off and anger set in "Where did you go!? I'm constantly looking for you and you up and disappear and the king has ruined yours and the shield heros name?! What did you do Celestine?!" All the poor girl could say as the assassin looked at her with amusement clearly written on her face "working" was that all came from celestine and it annoyed Vallarie to no end. "But on a more serious topic follow me" celestine could say as she walked deeper into the alleyways and down a sewer drain.
Vallarie quite hesitant at following celestine did so anyways and they weaved through many many tunnels until the came across a door ordained with a skull and black hand "What is Joy of Life?" Came a eerie voice that echoed the sewer tunnels "Death, my brother" celestine answered "welcome home" as that was said the door rumbled open and a very lit room and passages came into play as it was decorated with lots of banners of the black hand and many many more icons Vallarie didn't recognise but what stood out was the room with its door Lying wide open and a very large bed in it with a desk and a few red bottles, what stood out was on the Door had the word listener on it "what is this place" asked vallarie "The First dark brotherhood sanctuary in this world and my home" celestine answered "why did you bring me here?" Vallarie asked, clearly hearing the rumours of the dark brotherhood "to be honest… to answer your questions." Celestine guided her to sit down and poured a glass of wine for each of them "so what do you want to ask?"
Vallarie had thought of many questions but one stood out in her mind "What are you? Your clearly not human" what scared Vallarie more than the eyes was the fangs when celestine smiled "that's a long story… but I'll tell you this, I'm what's called a Daughter of Coldharbour… A pureblood vampire, I am also what's known as Dragonborn and dragons fear me as much as men or mer do in my homeworld" celestine answered clearly, vallarie looked shocked and fearful but she calmed at what she saw, a broken soul.
Meanwhile:
Motoyasu was investigating another murdered noble, looking over what looked like death from the elements but what stuck out was his lack of blood and his dead bodyguards all with their heads cleanly removed from their shoulders and placed on pikes This was that Sword Bitches work" Malty sickly commented as this was technically her first truly gruesome experience "perhaps but why? This man was a noble of this country and had no criminal activities." Another one of Motoyasu's companions said "Most of her kills look like Vigilante attacks with some nobles lying in evidence" motoyasu pulled a letter out from the corpse's pocket "Dear spear moron." Malty's frown deepened at this "You are reading this because I want you to, as you probably have guessed I'm an assassin and I happen to be very good at what I do, so I'll give you and the Liar a warning, keep out of my contracts. Singed. Listener of the dark brotherhood." Motoyasu, clearly confused by her implications, looked to malty to find her in a ball mumbling incoherently to herself "Malty?"
Back in the sanctuary:
"So in your world you're contacted by a god essentially about who wants to die?" Vallarie, clearly confused by this, asked "Pretty much, let's not forget all funding I get goes into this very sanctuary" said Celestine "and you're telling me this why..?" Vallarie the poor soul was confused still "because I want you to be a speaker for me" celestine said as she pulled out a book and gave it to Vallarie "this will tell you a lot of what a speaker does for the black hand" the book had a silver cover and ebony writing "The Black hand" written by the assassin herself "this book will also tell you how to spot potential recruits… I don't expect you to kill, your too nice but I do want your help"
In the Palace:
The king was pacing as a servant read out all the dead nobles name who despite being despicable people were essential to the kingdom and he's furious at what's happening, he's been receiving reports of dead nobles to the shield devil doing better than he wanted and he tried stalling him and trying his best at finding the sword bitch but nothing works and it's making him angrier by the second, "my king?" Said the servant "find the bow hero and the spear hero… I wish to speak with them"
