Serene

Of course I won´t give you away! I promised you didn´t I......An besides he´ll not kill that body! But try to stay alive, Brianna would be very sorry if something happened to you

Serene´s face did not show anything, no feelings, nothing.


Brianna

Brianna did not like Cerpin to fight with that vamp....in fact the vamp still scared her, not so much as before but still.

She watched the fight carefully.....praying inside her head to the divines to spare Cerpin

From a distance she thought she heard someone mentioning her name......but it was probably just the wind!

Oran walked slowy behind the group "Hello?" he said "is there a Brianna here?" Noone had turned around... so he had to try harder. He tapped the closest lady on the shoulder, "Is there a Brianna here?"

Flint Ironwood, High Rock.

The door opened and Flint went inside, remembering just in time that he shouldn’t reveal his familiarity with the building. He waited till he was led to the living room.
,,Give me your weapons.” His guide grunted. Flint shrugged and handed over the knife.

There, on a couch, sat the man he was looking for. Lacking eyes, a tongue and his hands, he wasn’t the prettiest. Flint bowed despite the futility of such an action.
,,I have come here to collect the bounty for the man known as Flint Ironwood. Call me….Arygon.” He said. He silently thanked the death thief whose name he just borrowed.

,,I am the spokesman of sir Ironwood. I can tell you that he would be very pleased if you gave us any proof before we pay you.” A big Nord who stood next to Flint’s father responded.
Flint nodded as he opened a small bag and took out…a hand.
,,This is the hand I took from my prey. I can assure you that everything else is as death as this hand.” Flint told them as he showed the Daedric rune that had been carved into the hand’s skin.

The Nord opened a large chest and took out one of the many pouches that were inside. The pouch looked like it was filled to the point of bursting with Septims.
,,Here is your pay, Arygon. Don’t hesitate to serve my master again.”
Flint catched the pouch and opened it to see if the money was actually inside. He’d never thought he would get paid for faking his own assassination.
,,Now I can retire.”

He closed the bag and turned around, only to stare down on the blade of a sword held by the man who’d brought him here..
,,Tsk, you’ve gotten careless, Flint. To show your face here will be a fatal mistake, Or did you expect that I wouldn’t recognize you? Kill him.”
Flint didn’t wait for the Nord to finish speaking. There were three people in this room, and one of them was unable to fight at all. Flint did a backflip while he used a short burst of Telekinesis to grab the sword out of the guard’s hand. He spun around while he landed in front of the Nord and performed a clean cut across his throat before spinning around again and stabbing the sword through the guard’s chest.

Both of his victims crumpled to the floor. Flint picked up his dagger and moved back towards the disfigured and helpless shape of his father.
,,Sorry, but I won’t let you hunt me again. Say hello to mum for me.” He spoke as he drew the knife across his father’s throat.

Before leaving, Flint took two more bags of septims from the chest. He’d use two to pay Selie for her hospitality and the other one for when he retired. But first, there was still business waiting for him in Skyrim. After dropping the money and the borrowed knife of at her house without being noticed, Flint dug up his gear underneath a tree and cast a recall spell that would take him to the burned out inn in Lainlalten.
,,I hope the others are fine.”


(Now I've got something to do during the fast-forward. If Flint survives that long.)

Ranes, with the group

Ranes turned towards Sadril, the snow crunching under his boots. He didn't trust the vampire very much, but, what possible reason would he have to fabricate such a story? How could he possibly gain from this? Maybe he was going mad, taking a trip down Sheogorath's merry Golden Road. But even for a madman it was a peculiar accusation. Possible explainations and theories of what the Oblivion was going on raced through his mind.

Ranes muttered a curse. "Are we done here? We have to keep moving. That honoured user back there probably is going to come for us next if we don't get the Oblivion outta here."

Hecate

Hecate rode upon a small hill covered in snow, overlooking where the party. The warm breath from the horse was easily seen in the cold and moist air and Hecate's cloak rode in the chilly wind which swept across the landscape. He sat there on his steed watching how the vampire was fighting with the Dunmer. He rested his hands on his daggers as he leaned a little forward trying to see where Serene was. Shorty after a quick scan he located her in the middle of the party she looked all frozen as he watched the fight.

I can't recall if I said this or not Serene, but the group will fall apart, it's unstable and no one is to trust. The vampire is after the woman, the half-breed. It's in his nature to suck blood from their veins, and why let go off such a beautifull victim. The rest of the group mostly consist of assassins and thieves, people you can't trust, people... like myself. It will fall apart, and in the end you and the half-breed will be left for me and my master.

Hecate thought, hopefully Serene would sense it.

Maze within his chambers


Maze moved silently through the darkness... he could hear his henchmen all around him... waiting for his comandments... "Nasmo Se Teka" Maze growled and his minions droped to the floor and bowed... Maze could see in the darkness where there was no light at all... he turned his gaze upon them... "Beautiful creatures they are... who's only purpose in life is to destroy and create agony..." he thought sadisticly while staring at his minions... he waved his hand signaling them to dissapear from his sight and they obeyed... he ealked down a series of hallways until he reached a huge room... this room was filled with corpses, skeletons, weapons, artifacts and the such... he walked across it until he got close to a dying young warrior... he grabed him by the throat and picked him up... "Have you learned your lesson yet son?... no... then you shall pay..." Maze started walking down another hallway while dragging his son by the throat... he came upon a room with a giant red orb with shadow runing within it... he grabed his son and pushed him against the surface of the blood red orb... the son started to slowly sink in... and then all the shadows within the orb consumed the child...

Maze smiled sadisticly... "Soon you will be a part of me my son.." he whispered darkly... he then left the room and started to make his way towards the entrance of his castle... he waved he pushed open the door's of his castle and it revealed the village of Lainlalten (or what ever it is called)... he then stepped into the snow... he turned around and threw one last look at his castle before he waved his hand and the doorway transformed into a shadow and dissapeared...

Maze whispered darkly again... "Soon you will be a part of me."

He then started to make his way down the snow towards the village... stil leaving black smoke marks wherever his feet touched...

Serene

Serene sat silent....a voice filled her mind, a strange voice and it´s words were fateful, it predicted the fate of the group of prople in ewhich she was dwelling at the moment, it also predicted a dreadful fate for Brianna,,,her first-born child...Serene sighed she knew where the voice came from and thus she knew it was telling the truth.......
Who was he? the one who already had foreseen what would happen to Brianna and herself,,,,,it was scary, but yet....trustworthy....Brianna was pregnant....the father unknown to her but surely not to Brianna,,.....this "person" knew all of it..what a relief it would be to give in...to surrender to it and just let go....

She looked at >Brianna...so young and vivid....if anything would happen to her....it would make her father furious..Athyn would not let anything happen to Brianna.....maybe it would be for the best to send her back to Vvardenfell....to Ald´ruhn

"Who are you? What do you want from me and my daughter?"

Oran poked the woman again, "Hello, is there a Brianna here?!!?" Arygon had always taught to anwser when you were called. If you swore at him and told him you had said nothing he'd have you whipped worse than if you told him what you had said. "Hello?" Oran pratically yelled.

Brianna

Someone poked her on her left shoulder, asking for a "Brianna"....that made her turn around, facing a complete stranger....

"Uhhh yes, I´m Brianna" she answered totally confused, " What do you nwant from me, and who are you?" She was totally stunned..who would want anything from her? Who knew she was here, except from those in the group?

Oran finally got an anwser, "Oh, you're Brianna? That makes this easier." Oran said as he lifted the package. "This is from Lord Arygon, my Master, he said it was..." Oran leaned in and whispered, "For your child..." Oran gave her the box, "Have a nice day!" He activated the Recall glove Arygon had given to him.

Arygon turned, Oran had come back. "You will begin your training now Oran." Arygon smiled, this was going to be fun. Oran was mystified, i'm being taugh by Arygon himsefl!?!

OOC: His servants are in awe of him... plus he's stronger than the puppet.

Hecate

You might have heard of me, but than again, you might not. See me as a legendary assassin. What I want of your daughter? I want nothing of her, now of course, you can either choose to believe me or not, for me it doesn't have anything to say. I won't continue this conversation now my dear Serene, but soon... soon we will speak in person

After his message, Hecate reached for his ring, not really concerned about what Serene would reply.

Keep an eye out for me Serene, I will visit you soon

Then the ring glided onto his finger. He would start tracking the party as soon as they would start travel.

OOC: Sorry to close the convo Minque, but I have to go - Friends calling, I'll make a post tomorrow and we'll meet tomorrow too... Hecate and Serene I mean..

Maze

Maze waved his right hand and a giant black shadow wave rised from the snow and completley destroyed the village of Lainlalten... only a mountain of rubble and corpses remained... he grew closer and closer towards the once the ruin that was once a village... he started walking along the rubbles that used to be streets... he then saw something move in the corner of his eye... it was a little gril... a little gril had survived... but she was being crushed by rubble that had landed on top of her... she was screaming/crying for help... Maze walked closer to her and smile... the poor chiled cryed even harder...

Maze knelt down beside her... "shhh... it will all be over now..." he whispered darkly... and then a small and incredibly sharp shadow rised from the snow... it moved like a snake... and striked just as fast... it striked right behind the little grils ear and pierced through to the other side... the little gril did not have time to cry or scream... her head just fell looking down... and the shadow retreated from the gril and vanished...

Maze smiled and closed the little gril eye's with his fingers... he then stood up and started to make his way down the ruins of the village...

OOC: No problems...we´ll meet tomorrow! Heh....I´m looking forward to have a conversation with Hecate!

Serene

Serene slowly walked away from the group..she needed to be alone for a while...that voice she heard.....intriguing and trustworthy,,yet a bit scary..it was obvioius it was that evil she sensed before,,but it seemed intelligent and somewhat sensible.....she was curious about what this would lead to.

She noticed a strange man approach Brianna,,,,,now what was this supposed to mean?

Cerpin

Cerpin saw that Sadril wasn't going to attack again, so he slowly picked up Rahvin's dagger and returned it to its rightful place.

As if he had completely forgotten about Sadril, he turned to Brianna. "What is that?" he asked, looking at the package she had just recieved.

Sasal

Sasal had smiled at the young man who had talked to brianna. Wonder how that youn lass, Telina is doing..... Sasal muttered as he noted Serene walk away. Something i want, but can never really have... He thought as he raised his hands form under his cloak, in the manner of reaching out towards her. Taking off his helmet, he imbraced the cold weather with a deep breath, while letting his hair down to reveal a full set of long hair.

Telina

Telina knew what would happen to her...although she was ashamed of herself for not helping to take out Arcyahkt over ten years ago, she had gained most of the information about those events...and knew that Veric would do the same to her, as as Arcyahkt did to Sel...she would become..."Death".

Serene, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything...my fate have been sealed, this man will turn me the same way Arcyahkt did with Sel...so if I ever come across you again...kill me, she just hope the telapathic message came to her...she had inteded to ask for help...but that was pointless, they would be to late.

She fell a few more tears, knowing her fate, so she told Veric..."Just give me the name dammit, there is nothing I can do about it".

OOC:Getting angry.....oh and Fuzzy, I would love if you bring do what you told me you wanted to do...over PM ...cant wait to meet your character;)

Hecate

Hecate slowly rode further on this black steed, following the direction of the road but not going all past the party. He was still observing them from the shadows hoping Serene soon would take a small break for the party, inviting Hecate to a conversation.

Brianna

"I really don´t know....strange it is a gift from Arygon.....that man never stops puzzling me.....what does he want with me? Why is he always trying to "save me" from everything....."

Brianna started to open the package..


Serene

History seemed to repeat itself.....now Telina had encountered the same fate as Sel did......then at the time! Serene shrugged, Telina sent a message to her that she should kill her on sight iv they meet again......Serene sighed, she had no intention of killing anyone if it could be avoided......

She felt the presence of that "evil" spirit very strongly now.....she even could sense his name, Hecate......But the evilness had changed somewhat, it didn´t scare her anymore.....Maybe it was time to meet him....face to face!


OOC: I´m not sure it´s a good timing tonight Fuzzy....I don´t know how much I´ll be able to be online......maybe later, considerably later though!

Flint Ironwood, Lainlalten ruins.

Flint appeared above the ground in a cloud of Magicka. He'd already expected this since his mark was placed on the first floor of the burnt down inn. He dropped into the pile of ash and rubble without any problems. He then took the time to look around.

,,Nocturnal! What happened here?" He whispered. Lainlalten was gone. Only ruins and corpses remained. Or maybe not just corpses and ruins. Flint ran for the nearest cover and thought over his situation. He had been rather busy, but he hadn't been away from Lainlalten that long. This wasn't the work of an army, only a single unbelievably powerful being could've done that in such a short time. Naturally, Flint didn't want to meet said being.

He slowly crawled through the piles of ash as he made his way out of the city. He was gratefull for his black clothing. It gave him very good camouflage.

MAZE


Maze was standing ontop of a small mountain of rubble and corpses... he felt the breton close... and as he turned his head he saw him crawling through the rubble and of to a clearing away from the ruined village... Maze smiled sadisticly... he then jumped in the air straight up and he turned into a shadow and then he fell through the ground... the shadow was now infront of the breton... the shadow jumped in the air a couple of feet in the air before transforming bakc to it's true form...

Maze feet touched the ground and black smoke came from beneath his feet... he thrusted his hand and grabed the breton by the head... then his hand became like a shadow and started to slowly sink into the bretons head.... and into his mind...

OOC: Cloudy, you should make your character scream in pain since this procedure will be incredibly painful...
