"No sir,we can't do this,it's too big,too high profile!" Eldwin said to Aldrin,Aldrins's face contorted with anger,"What do
you mean too high profile?,we've killed 4 nobles in the past 2 weeks and the only ones getting the blame are the Brotherhood,I think we hid our tracks very well!"

"Yes but this isn't just a local,little-known noble,he's the Count's cousin!" Eldwin shouted trying to get her point across to the stubborn old man.

"I don't care if he's Emperor's brother,the amount of money we'll get from this will be enough to fund my retirerment." Aldrin said.

"Of course,you only want to do it for YOUR retirerment,you never think about ME!" Eldwin screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Don't you EVER raise your voice like that again!" Aldrin shouted back grabbing Eldwin's collar.

Suddenly a sharp pain filled Aldrin's body,Eldwin always had something up her sleeve,this time she litteraly had something up her sleeve,a blade.

"So sad,you were only a day away from retirment." She said with a fake sympathic tone then she let out a loud cackle.

Chapter 2:Sven The Burly

Eldwin was hiding in the bushes just outside Sven's cottage when she spotted the big Nord.

He was about 7 feet tall,with arms like tree trunks, he was wearing a traditonal Nordic battle harness and fur greeves.

In he's hand he held an axe the size of a young child, he seemed like a warrior yet around his elderly mother he seemed like a young lad who hadn't even grown a whisker yet.

Eldwin almost felt sorry for Sven and his mother.

Just then Eldwin looked across from the small building and saw something rustling in a bush, then she saw the tip of an Ebony arrow stick out from the bush.

Using her quick reflexes she quickly took out her bow and shot at Sven, just as the other archer shot too.

Sven saw the arrows and ducked while he's mother ran inside,the two arrows hit each other shattering, Sven looked at each place where the arrows came from, undecided in which to charge at.

Luckily for Eldwin he charged at the other archer, so she took out her dagger and ran at the Nord, light on her feet she barely made a sound.

Just then the warrior turned axe in hand and swung at Eldwin, it was a trap!

She ducked and jump to the side,he swung again.

She ducked again and dug her blade into his side.

Sven dropped the axe,almost crushing Eldwin as it fell but she moved out of the way.

Sven was on one knee.

"Not only am I dying for no reason, I'm dying from a cheap two on one attack!" Sven screamed at Eldwin.

Eldwin looked across to where the other archer was while keeping her dagger to the warriors throat,the other archer must of fled.

"This isn't a two on one attack, this is a war and you're just a casualty of it all." Eldwin replied.

Eldwin did what she had to do,she killed Sven.

She didn't leave without leaving a small sack of gold at the body,she may be an assassin but she had morales.

She and the old man only killed rich nobles who had done unacceptable things,Sven was innocent.

Just then an arrow went right past her head and into the tree beside her, on the arrow was a note.

She heard a door opening so she put up her hood, took the note and ran back to camp.

The note read this.

"Dear Eldwin,
So, you won this battle of the, as you like to call it, "war".Your next target is Aelnian Streckar.She is a hunter in Chorrol.
That's right Chorrol, and this time I'm not telling you anything about her only that she's a hunter in Chorrol.
So enjoy the trek, or should I say the race, and enjoy the little investigation of which town's folk she is, and no you can't just ask who she is because she is a hermit.
Sven was big but Aelnian is insane, and a master tactian."

Eldwin threw the note on the ground and got her stuff ready for the race to Chorrol.
