One Shot 1: Damn Vigilants

Ragnar Darkblade stared blankly at the ruins before him. A great hall was now a pile of burning wood with the stench of death and blood across the snow. But, to him, there were less nuisances to deal with. Not once did his silver eyes quiver at the sight.

"My Thane?"

To the Nightingale's right was Jordis the Sword-Maiden, his Housecarl from Solitude.

"Yes, Jordis?" he asked, not looking away from the destruction.

"You've been looking at that destroyed building for a while now. What's so special about it?" she asked back, not liking being kept in the dark about everything.

"Well, Jordis, this place used to be the headquarters of the Vigilants of Stendarr. They were wiped out along with their leader ever since the Dawnguard-Volkihar War started." Ragnar said. "They've got this dislike for all things Daedric."

"You sound like you hated them, though." Jordis pointed out.

She was right. Ragnar hated them indeed, looking back as he pressed a palm on the handle of one of the swords sheathed on his back.

Flashback...

Stepping down the stairs of Kilkreath, Ragnar couldn't help but marvel at the glory of Dawnbreaker. It felt right for him and the weight was never off in any way for him. He made his way to Dragon Bridge, where he was going to rest before heading back to Whiterun. He wasn't planning that on the way back, three people in robes and steel boots and bracers would stop him.

"Stop! We know you have Daedric artifacts. Hand them over." one of them ordered him.

"What are you talking about?" Ragnar half-asked, half-feigned.

"As the Vigilants of Stendarr, we purge Skyrim of Daedric filth. Now, hand over your artifacts." another demanded.

Ragnar couldn't believe that they actually demanded that, and made his own reply.

"No thanks."

In a daze of instinct, Ragnar spun and swung Dawnbreaker with full force, instantly decapitating the Vigilant in front of him as the other two drew their maces and charged. Ragnar sidestepped past the swing of the first one before crouching underneath the mace of the other before twirling Dawnbreaker to a reverse grip and driving it through the second one's back with enough force until his blade was sticking out of her chest.

The other vigilant charged again, but Ragnar saw it coming.

"ZUN!"

With a single word, the Thu'um knocked the Vigilant's mace out of his hands, staggering him long enough for Ragnar to pull Dawnbreaker out of his latest victim before twisting and slashing the last Vigilant across the neck. Three Vigilants of Stendarr were dead at the hands of a Nightingale of Nocturnal. Sighing, he walked past the corpses as he continued his walk to Dragon Bridge.

Present...

"...They annoyed me one too many times. That's all you need to know." Ragnar told Jordis before continuing. "Anyway, let's be on our way. That bounty isn't going to collect itself."

So I read somewhere that there's some unused dialogue with Vigilants that they will demand you hand over all your Daedric artifacts or they'll attack you. That's kind of the main inspiration behind this one. That would've been nice to have.
