A/N- Here it it, people! Chapter 7 in this story! I wanted to thank all of the people who've read the story so far (which is very few), and hope that more readers will come and enjoy an enriching story like this one XD (I'm only gonna do the XD ONCE. Promise). Anyways, read on!

Teldryn quickly kicked the door in of the Temple of Kynareth, looking for a priet or priestess. One of them rushed over, and brought Teldryn and a wounded Rayne to one of the pedestals, laying Rayne down on it. The priestess of Kynatreth ordered Teldryn to get a healing and stamina potion from the corner, while she removed Rayne's torso armor to get access to the wound. Teldryn recieved the potions, returning them in a hurry. The priestess quickly mixed the two in a spare bottle, applying the liquid to a cloth, and held it to Rayne wound. The mix of the potions had created a reaction, quickly healing the wound, restoring some of the lost blood. The priestess removed the cloth, and applied restoration magic to the wound.

Rayne was left alone for the rest of the day to rest after the attack. The same nightmares occured. The battle. The exact things that happened, playing back like a broken record. It is this that keeps her from sleeping.

When Rayne awoke, she was sweating. Oh, well, she thought. She sat up, immediately regretting it. Her wound on her back reacted, sending pain through her body. She froze, gripping her wound with her left hand. She looked across the room, Teldryn sitting on the opposite pedestal. He looked up from the ground, seeing as Rayne was awake, and asked "You alright?". Rayne nodded, looking up at him. He nodded, getting up and leaving to resume his buisness with Eorlund. Rayne continued to examine the room.

Every now and then, one of the towns folk would enter the temple, either to recieve a blessing from the shrine, or to just have a place to stay. The temple would always let the homeless stay at the temple for a night, or two. Rayne spent most of her time in the temple, going through the healing process, which she was not a big fan of.

Three days later...

Teldryn burst into the temple, looking for Rayne. She was sleeping on the pedestal. He hurried over to her, shaking her until she woke up. She groaned when she awoke, looking up at Teldryn. "What?" She asked, obviously annoyed. He explained the situation. "The Dark Brotherhood are here. They are looking for you. I veered them off our trail by giving them false information, saying you were in the Dragonsreach Dungeon for murder. We need to leave. Now." Rayne did as she was told, packing her things, only essential items that she needed.

Rayne quickly exited the temple with Teldryn, and they proceeded through town. Rayne looked behind her to see if the Dark Brotherhood members had left Dragonsreach. And sure enough, they had. One of them spotted Rayne. and broke out in a full sprint. Rayne burst into a sprint, as well, and Teldryn quickly followed suit, equipping his bow. He stopped for a second, turned around, and fired an arrow at the first Dark Brotherhood member, striking his shoulder, Teldryn quickly spun around and continued to follow Rayne to the gates of Whiterun.

Rayne and Teldryn opened the gates as quickly as possible, and continud to run. They followed the path that led to the stables, Rayne casting fireball spells behind her to slow the Dark Brotherhood members. When they reached the stables, they found their horses, but in a different state from whence they left them. Dead. Rayne turned to see the Dark Brotherhood members making their way to them. She raced to the cairrage nearby, Teldryn following her. Tossing a bag of gold to the cairrage driver, she leapt into the back of the cairrage. Teldryn quickly pulled himself up into the back, and the driver took off.

With the Dark Brotherhood far behind them, it was time to get back to eliminating the Spirit of Boethiah. The cairrage had arrived in Riverwood, which is the last place Rayne had wanted to go. In the forest nearby, Rayne had met Thrynn. Saved by him. Taught new skills, which Rayne had put to good use, since then. She seldom made eye contact with the forest.

Teldryn and Rayne stayed at the Sleeping Giant Inn, where they devised their next plan. Delpihne recognized Rayne. "Dragonborn, welcome back," She said, and let them use the biggest room in the inn, in which the closet led to the secret room below the Sleeping Giant Inn. Teldryn, and Rayne (reluctantly), agreed to use the inn as their head quarters, the last place the Dark Brotherhood would look for them.

The next order of buisness was to find more information on the bandit clan. Teldryns contact had informed him that there was a mine nearby, Embershard Mine. A bandit clan is holed up there, and their chances of getting some information were likely, as there are rumoured connections between them and the Spirit of Boethiah.

Entrance to Embershard Mine...

Rayne descended from the tree nearby. "There's one guard at the entrance, male, looks lightly armed," Rayne informed Teldryn as she approched. He nodded, equipping his bow, and fired. The guard hit the ground, arrow lodged in his neck. Rayne pulled out her steel sword and approached the entrance, slowly opening the door. She signaled for Teldryn to follow.

Inside, a slanted dirt path with wood post holding up the dirt roof led to a lower level of the mine. Rayne and Teldryn slowly descended the path, avoiding the trip wire that would trigger a rock trap. Ahead of them was a large cavern, and two voices. Rayne held up a hand for Teldryn to stay back. She held a crouch position, approaching the edge of the dirt floor, leading to a bridge. She put out the torch on the wall nearby, completely convealing herself in darkness. She pulled out her hunting bow, and readied an arrow as the two men spoke.

Rayne drew back the drawstring on the bow, exhaled, and released the arrow, watching as the arrow pierced the neck of one of the bandits. She readied another arrow, stood up from her position, and fired at the next guard. He dropped like a rock, plunging head first into the water below the bridge. Teldryn walked up behind her, observing the carnage that just took place. "Nice job. Wouldn't want to be on the o0ther end of the arrow shaft, eh?" He nudged Rayne with his elbow and crossed the bridge. Rayne followed.

Rayne pulled the lever that lowered the draw bridge, after Teldryn had put out all the torches and the fire nearby. Cloaked in complete darkness, Rayne readied her bow, and waited for the next set of bandits to show up. Only two of them crossed the bridge. "I thougth we had a guard posted outside," one of them said. Rayne watched as one of them lit a torch, and Rayne immediately struck him with an arrow. He fell into the water below, and she fired an arrow at the next bandit, falling into the water, as well.

Rayne and Teldryn crossed the bridge, heading into the next room. They took out the bandit guarding the cell door, and searched the corpse for the key. Teldryn unlocked the door, and the two searched the room. In the chest they found a few healing potions, a magicka and stanima potion, and some gold. They split it between them, and left the room.

Ahead of them was a large cavern. A bandit was working the blacksmith forge, one bandit was on the bridge ahead, and the supposed bandit chief was sitrting in a chair at a table to the left of the bridge. Rayne readied another arrow, releasing it at the bandit working the forge. He fell into the fire, his corpse burning not too much later. She then killed the archer on the bridge, which caught the bandit chiefs attention. She turned left, then sprinted across the pathway along the wall, and caught up to the bandit chief. She pulled out her dagger, holding it to his throat.

"What do you know of the Spirit of Boethia?" Rayne asked. The bandit didn't day anything, save for spitting on Rayne's face. She slit his throat, letting his body drop. She searched him, Teldryn searched the area for anything that lead to the connection of the two clans. Rayne hadn't found anything on the body, but Teldryn found a journal, with information on the location and travel route of the Spirit of Boethiah. "Rayne, check this out," he said. Rayne walked over to him, and he handed her the journal. She flipped through the pages, and stopped when she reached a certain set of information. She scanned it, and couldn't belive what she was reading. "Oh, my..." She said. Teldryn looked over to her. "What?" He asked. Rayne looked up at Teldryn, and handed him the journal. He looked at the information on the page, and couldn't believe what he saw, as well...
