How to pronounce name Nashvii (Nah-sh-vy) Zyerian (Zi-air-ian)

Chapter one: Cure For Madness

Arnbjorn was sitting on the ground outside the Dawnstar Sanctuary, blood was pooled around him from his confrontation with the crazed jester. Nashvii hopped off Shadowmare to inspect his wounds. To her dismay they weren't life threatening, she suppressed a sigh in her chest.

"Should of figured Astrid would send you… got to admit that little jester is good with that butter knife, but don't worry I gave as good as I got." He sat there slightly gasping as he held his side. As she stood there looking around at the blood trail leading to the old sanctuary. Arnbjorn spoke up before she could ask,

"He's in there alright, just follow the blood I'm sure you'll find him. I would have gone after him but I don't know the phrase to get in." Nodding she looked down at the sorry dog, a slight grin spread across my face.

"Head home Arnbjorn I'll get the jester, take Shadowmare I don't think you're truly able to walk by yourself just yet." She had to stifle a chuckle at the dog as she watched him get up from the ground and mount Shadowmare. Waving him off, she waited till he was out of sight and ear before she walked to the Black Door.

"What is life's greatest illusion?"

"Innocence, my brother." The door slowly slid open to a lightly dimmed corridor, as she stepped in his voice echoed through the place.

"Listener! Is that you? Ooh, I knew you'd come, send the best to defeat the best! Astrid knew her stupid wolf count slay sly Cicero!" his laughter came in all directions, she crouched down trying to hide in the makeshift shadows across the wall.

"Cicero? Where are you? I just want to talk, you don't have to hide from you know." As she made her way down further in two guardians of the sanctuary appeared, pulling out her nightingale bow out she could feel the electricity flow through her arm as she aimed and shot down the two before her. Nashvii had no intentions of fulfilling Astrid's absurd demand to have the jester killed. Continuing through, slaying everything laid out through the sanctuary, she finally came to the door where his laughter echoed on the other side. Before she stepped in she summoned Lucien to be at her side.

"Lucien what should I do?" he placed a hand on her shoulder leaning in closer.

"I will kill this Jester if you so desire but there is a disturbance in the void. Our dread father does not wish this…" she looked over at the jester cowering on the floor blood still pooling around him.

"Hahaha, I surrender!" Cicero laughed and curled in pain.

"Cicero I'm not here to kill you I… I can't. Fuck Astrid she is only a pretender right?" she pulled healing potions from the bag, slowly feeding Cicero one bottle at a time. She lifted Cicero's head onto her lap slowly stroking the side of his face as his golden brown eyes peered up at her.

"Listener why are you helping poor Cicero?" she looked down at his open wound as it was slowly closing, she thought about her feelings towards him it made her stomach twist.

"Well… because you're a freak just like me and I promise when we meet again I'll show you what I mean." She slipped her hand into her bag pulling out a sleeping potion, she handed it to him. His look of curiosity made her giggle.

"Do you think I'd give you something that I wouldn't take myself?" he pulled the cork out downing the bottle as fast as he could. His eyes glazed over as he went limp in her lap.

"I know you're going to hate me for this but this will keep you asleep till you fully heal my dear sweet Cicero…" she got up and gathered random linens around the room to put under his head as a makeshift pillow. Nashvii pulled him closer to the fire to make sure he stayed warm while sleeping in this icy hell. She pulled food from her bag along with a quill and parchment, she wrote him a note

Please don't be mad at me Cicero, I did it for your own good. I hope this small supply of food last you a bit before I can come back and get you –Listener

She grabbed her things and started for the door, she glanced back and blew him a small but secret kiss.

"Now to go face Astrid and hope that she believes me!" heading out back to the harsh elements of Dawnstar, Nashvii made her way to Falkreath Sanctuary. Upon arriving back Astrid believed her, sending her on to finish the job to end the life of the Emperor of Skyrim.
