Home grown fun Options

Hello, and welcome to my all new fan fiction. This time, I will try and cut down on the description as it makes for a bored author and reader. I shall write straight onto site.


Chapter 1
Blood erupted from Cornelius Valaeus' neck as I deftly tucked my knife away back into my pocket. A job well done - and the last time I would work for anyone. I slipped an arm underneath the man's as he looked up at me in his last few seconds on earth. I smiled at him, then opening up the cupboard door I stuffed him in. After closing and locking the door I stepped smartly out of his house, smiling as I breathed in the crisp morning air. I nodded to an average looking guard and made my way back to the hovel I called home, stopping momentarily to give Cornelius Valaeus Junior two coins to deliver the telegram showing my completion as he passed me (Making care to tell him not to read the letter).

I entered the shack and lay down on my mattress, rolling over to place my knife in the drawer beside my bed. I closed my eyes and drifted into a light nap, the time taken up by a delightful dream taking me over praeries and flying with the birds.

I was abruptly woken by a sharp knock at the door, watching the door slam into the shack wall as a well built man marched into my single room.

"Cassell, I have brought you your payment," stated the muscular man as he threw a small pouch into my lap. "200 Septims, tax free and no strings attached. But I'm sick of being his errand boy - I want some real work!" He whined to me in a low growl. I lifted myself up onto one arm and smiled up at him.
"Ah Linz, you will have to learn patience some day." I told the black man, "But you are right, that was mine and your last job under his workings. When you go back politely and humbly give him your resignation, you know, kiss his feet a few times. He's not a nasty man, he'll let you go. But don't tell him what you're going to do now you are out of his service." I advised him.
"Naturally brother, I am not a fool. I'll go now, but give me 40 of those shiny coins so I can buy the paper and ink." I took my money out and passed him the 40 in the pouch. I watched him leave as I slipped the coins under my pillow.

Leaning out of the window I called to him,
"Meet me at the inn!"
"Which inn?"
"Which do you think?"
With a smile and a wink I closed the shutters and put on my best outfit.

I downed the last of my ale, then slammed it on the table and stared at Linz and the mysterious (And rather annoying) woman.
"So, down to business. If we're going to be working together we'd better get to..."
"Working together?!" The woman interrupted me, half standing up. "What in the right mind makes you think we'll be..."
"We'd better get to know each other." I interrupted bluntly. She huffed, and sat down again.
"Brother, where do you get your confidence from...?" asked Linz, shaking his thickly built head with a smirk on his face.
"Why, my stunning looks of course." I retorted, then turned back to the woman. "So....what's your name?" I asked.
"My name is still none of your business, but I have decided to tell you. I am Flavia Florentino, or Flo for short." She told me, showing the hint of her first smile.
"Well Miss Florentino..."
"Mrs." she interrupted again sternly.
"I implore you to stop interrupting!" I told her with a slight raised voice. "Now, Miss Florentino, follow us to the back room...." I told her as I stood and walked to the back of the bar.

I pulled out a keychain from my jacket and picked a rather worn, but new, key. Placing it in the lock of a small wooden door I turned it and walked in. I let Linz and Flavia in, then slammed the door shut and relocked it. Turning back to the pair I heard Flavia gasp as she saw what was inside. The room was covered from floor to ceiling in various fauna, and in the centre stood a large fountain. Sitting around the room were half a dozen men, playing various forms of poker and smoking long clay pipes of skooma. Plucking a pipe from the man nearest to me, Eddie, I offered her it. She took it, and inhaled deeply.
"How bland." she stated, before handing it back to Eddie.
"Aye, Skooma prices have risen dramatically after the import laws were tightened. We water it down with a mix of water and beer." I told her, wandering around the room. All the time Linz stayed near Flavia, he was a quiet man around strangers and kept wary of her.

"Welcome to my home from home, and to my 7 disciples." I told her, motioning with my arms.
"You speak as though you are a saviour." she told me, slight scorn playing on her lips.
"Oh how little you know..." I responded, chuckiling slightly. She did not know what to say to this, merely biting her lip.
"As I was saying, my 7 disciples. Linz, my business partner and brother. E..."
"But you have different skin colour!" she exclaimed, once again interrupting me. I clenched my fists by my sides.
"Again you persist in undermining me, but I shall forgive you this once. We are not blood brothers, but the same woman took us in, so we are brothers - whether you like it or no." I told her. She nodded. I carried on.
"This is Eddie, our second in command. He arranges anything that needs any literal input - clever lad he is. This is Fr..."
"Oh that reminds me brother! I have the paper and ink!" cried Linz, adding to my frustration.
"Gah! Very well, give them to Eddie. Eddie, I want All the posters you can make out of them, you choose how to phrase our message." I instructed.
I carried on naming the rest of the disciples, then bowed to Flavia.

"...And I am Cassell. The leader of this operation. The time will come very soon where I shall be name on ever man's - and more hopefully woman's - tongue." I told her, rather pompously. She snorted, and I chose to ingore it.
"Basically, I want you to meet us at midnight in Chorrol, in the cemetary. There will be a meeting there in 5 days - as you will see from the vairous posters that will be put up in the city and in Chorrol. You may leave us now and never think about us again, but I would be very pleased if you came. It would be in your best interests naturally." I told her - then without waiting for a response strode through the door and back to my shack to get some sleep.
