Redemption.

Chapter 3 resources & assets

As shadow-blade walks to a small structure in the riften cemetery he ponders why are the vampires acting up more recently he enters the small structure, in it there is a what seems to be a tomb with a diamond with a circle in it as a crest on the side. This is recognized as the thieves guild's symbol. Shadow-blade presses the crest and the tomb moves, revealing a secret passage to the thieves guild

In the thieves guild…

"Brynjolf any news concerning of a certain someone?" shadowblade asks "I'm afraid not shadow-blade" Brynjolf replied. "divines damn it! Where is that fiend! Even the brotherhood could not find him! Its as if he doesn't exist!" said a frustrated shadow blade. "maybe he doesn't exist" replied sapphire who joined in the conversation. "I saw that bastard slaughtering them all! And do not forget who helped you bring you and your father back together." Under his modified nighting gale cowl he was grinding his teeth in impatience, annoyance and frustration. He let out a sigh of woe "I need a new resource….. leave me at peace!" and so all the other thieves guild members left the room.

Shadowblade was pacing around back and forth thinking what resources can be of use… "the college? No, enthir checked already he said there was nothing about a so called vampire royalty, the brotherhood? No… they checked as well they even tortured a vampire in sunlight while using dawn breaker… the legion? Don't be ridiculous! Remember what happened the last time?" feeling defeated he went to his quarters which he had installed and lied down in his bed still fully clothed then suddenly it struck him…. " the dawngaurd… OF COURSE! Their specialty is dealing with vampires after all!" feeling a new sense of hope went outside his quarters. "vex! Know anything about a dawngaurd group?" asked shadow-blade "yup, its just outside riften in dayspring canyon, why do you ask?" replied vex "im joining." Shadowblade replied back. Vex having a look of mild shock but she dared not ask why dreading the answer might be long or plain crazy but his plans were crazy in the past and it helped the guild grow stronger. "alright then… good luck!" vex said with a slight awkwardness in her tone

He ventured off to dayspring canyon riding shadowmere as he was approaching dayspring canyon he stopped sensing he would be seen which was not his style. He effortlessly casted an invisibility spell which he mastered so that he could change his "agent of stealth" for the "agent of stryfe" both gifts from nocturnal herself.

As he walked up the stairs to fort dawngaurd he saw a young man, he was dressed in a green tunic and had blonde hair he kind of reminded him with that other dawngaurd he encountered last night seemed to be nervous as he took each step closer to fort dawngaurd when shadowblade finally got there he almost gasped in awe it was magnificent even the richest of men would have envied it he slowered his pace to keep up with the young lad when the young lad was allowed to enter shadowblade tagged along with him. As he entered he sees a redgaurd with a long black beard with a grumpy expression on his face "why are you here tolan? The viligants and I were finished long ago" the redgaurd said then a man in a viligant of stendarr robes whose name is apparently tolan replied "You know why im here, the viligants are under attack everywhere. The vampires are more dangerous than we believed." Isran replied back " And now you want to come running to safety of the dawngaurd, is that it? I remember keeper carcette telling me that Dawngaurd is a crumbling ruin, not worth the man power and expenses to repair. And now you've stirred up the vampires against you, you come begging for my protection?" tolan replied back "Isran, carcette is dead… The hall of viligants…. Everyone… their all dead. You were right, we were wrong, isn't that enough for you?" isran then had a look of sorrow and a pang of regret "Yes, well… I never wanted any of this to happen. I tried to warn all of you… I am sorry, you know. But even if will help I dnt have enough man power or recruits and resources to handle thi-" isran was cut off by a cough.

Then suddenly shadow-blade appeared behind isran sitting on one of the crates "maybe I could help."

Author's notes:

Ya'll can guess who slaughtered "them". But anywho im working chapter 4 so bear with me also yes, when I say "and don't forget who brought you and your and father back together" it means shadowblade has visited solstheim in search of more assets and resources but the events of the dlc dragonborn hasn't happened … YET.

Isran: leader of the dawngaurd, I don't know why I remembered him as white though…. Don't get any ideas about racism by the way

Vex: member of the thieves guild. She may or may not be being crushed on on several thieves guild members except shadow blade of course

Sapphire: arrogant b*tch but softens up once you talk to her about her past or you give a letter that reveals who her father is and gives you a an exquisite sappire
