Chapter 6: By The Ni-I mean, By the Night Mother!
I stood there looking at him, the old man Rufio, his blood on my face, my hands, his blood stained my heart. I looked at him…what…did I do?
I killed a man, only because of my own selfish reasons!
Oh well, better go to sleep, Lucian will be coming soon.
I went to sleep, waking up to Lucian's cold breath.
"Very well, Rufio is dead! The Night Mother is pleased. Go to the abandoned house in Cheydinhal, go into the basement, and respond with
'Sanguine, my Brother.'"
I looked at him… and left, blood, still on my hands.
CHEYDINHAL
I entered the town, shattered. Afraid the guards were going to arrest me…people are looking at me, they know I killed him, they know.
A Nord woman and a Orc man were talking.
"Have you heard that at the Inn of Ill Omen, a man named Rufio was murdered."I couldn't take it!"AHHHHH!" I screamed, everyone was looking at me, I ran, as fast as I could.
The guards were coming for me, I knew it.
"Um, excuse me?" Came a voice
I screamed and looked at the poor beggar."Are you alright?" He asked"Um, yeah."
I picked the lock of the abandoned house, opening the door, I peeked inside.
A few dead beggars were inside. The place smelled to the heavens and beyond. I walked on the broken glass. Alcohol bottles laid smashed.
I looked at a door, I opened it. It was a basement, a hole was in the wall. I entered, the area was a cave. Leading to a door.
"What…is the color of night?" Came a voice that sent shivers down my spine.
"Sa…s…Sanguine, my Brother.""Enter."I walked inside to see a large room. An Argonian looked up. She was in some black armor.
"Greetings, my brother, I am Ocheeva, here take this gift from your new family." She said handing me some armor
"Thank you"
"Welcome to the family!" Came a voice behind me, I turned to see a Breton.
"Hello.""Warmest greetings to you. I trust you've already spoken with Ocheeva? I am Vicente Valtieri. I provide assignments for all new family members. Please do not let my appearance...unnerve you. The needs and Tenets of the Dark Brotherhood come before my own needs as a vampire."
He said, showing his fangs.
"Perhaps one day, I will give you the gift too!""Alright, well, see you. For the Ni-I mean, Night Mother!"
I turned to walk away.
"Spill some blood for me, dear Brother!" He said, and began reading.
I turned to see a Khajiit.
"Hello" I said
He turned to me with a deadly glance
"If it isn't the newest member of the family. Let's get one thing straight - the Tenets prevent me from killing you. But I don't have to like you. I'll sell you equipment, but only because Ocheeva is making me. This family doesn't need any... Outsiders."
I gave him a glance and walked away, I saw another Argonian.
"Greetings!""Hello, I am Teinaava. I welcome you to our family, and this Sanctuary. May you find yourself at home here, in the loving embrace of our Lady the Night Mother!"
I left, walking to Vicente.
"Vicente, do you have a contract?""Yes, a contract is a sacred bond in between family. Now listen. Here is what you must do. Go to the Waterfront District of the Imperial City. There you will find a ship named the Marie Elena . Board the ship and find its captain, Gaston Tussand . He'll be in his cabin. Eliminate Tussaud in any manner you see fit. The pirates have been moving a lot of cargo onboard lately. You may be able to smuggle yourself on board in one of the packing crates. Oh, and one more thing. Get into the habit of asking your fellow family members about any current contract. Their insight may prove invaluable."
"Alright." I said
IMPERIAL CITY WATERFRONT
I looked at the Marie Elena. I was ready, as I sneaked in.
I looked around, not seeing anything. I sneaked in further.
"Hello."
I quickly turned to see a man, the captian.
"Oh no! The Dark Brotherhood? Again, listen, you sent assassins before, big Nord guys, three times the size of you! Stop joking and get out!"
"And if I refuse?" I asked
"COME HELP ME BOYS!" He yelled as a Orc and Nord entered.
He grabbed a sword and swung, I blocked. Twisted, kicked him, knocking him on the floor.
The Orc swung his sword, as I dodged backwards. The Nord tripped over the Orc, as I cut his head. Finishing the Orc, I saw the captain, crawling away.
"Bye bye." I said, slitting his throat.
