Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks just stood and listened to her. It was clear she was not in the mood for such talk so avoided it, and moved on to giving her the answer North of Whiterun, should be there by nightfall with ease As he readied his horse, a squawking noise came from behind him. He turned, and saw, on a near rock a crow. One of the crows used by the thieves and it was carrying a note. He went over and took it, giving it a quick read as the bird flew off. Rahks sighed and looked at Silver Volunrund is going to have to wait. I am being summoned. I ride back to Riften, you are welcome to join me but we do not stop this time, I must make haste

[Shadowfax]

Silver tilted her head to the side as Rahks approached the crow. She saw the note attached to it's leg and frowned slightly when he told her that the mission Astrid had given them would have to wait. At first she was going to argue, for the last time they were late Astrid had let fly, but at the same time... She needed Rahks for the mission and didn't want to be separated from him at this moment in time. Silver sighed.

"All right, i'll come along" She said, whistling to Shadowmere who came trotting over in a matter of minutes.

"Care to tell me whats going on though?" She asked, leaping into the saddle.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks hopped up on his horse and began taking off side by side with Silver. When they cleared the woods he replied to her There is a reason you hear me say by the Deadra. The thieves we are blessed by Nocturnal herself. The Nightingales serve to protect her temple, the Twilight Septuclar. In that place their is a gap between our world and her domain. She usually keeps out of this world, but it seems she has summoned me personally

[Shadowfax]

"What?!" Silver said, eyes ablaze.

Then she thought for a moment... Did this god even exist? She sighed, but there was no lying in Rahks voice. Silver looked over her shoulder briefly as if expecting the Night Mother to be following. Would she be able to talk to Silver wherever she was? That made her shiver.

"What do you think she's summoned you for?" Silver asked curiously, kicking Shadowmere forward.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks kicked his own horse, spurring up to go faster I can never know till we arrive there, so let us make haste No more words were spoken as both rode hard and fast back to the out edges of Riften

it was deep into the night as they came upon the entrance of the Twilight Sepulcher. Without wasting time they tied up the horses and ventured in. It was a long walk venturing deeper into the caves, sneaking by hidden challenges, traps and secrets, till at last they came to what seemed to be an open well. Rahks turned to Silver, grabbed a hold of her and jumped in. Landing at the bottom. There was no visible way out, and a skeleton lay crumbled in the corner

[Shadowfax]

Silver followed Rahks in silence not speaking once as they ventured into the unknown. Silver didn't like the caves and sneaking around in the darkness with all the traps around them was no fun. When they leapt down from a ledge, Silver winced when she saw the Skeleton in the corner.

"Atleast we didn't end up like that guy" She remarked, straightening up.

Her eyes had become used to the dimness of the cave now, but this place seemed different... Like there was a presence...

[KingKivuli]

Rahks took his bow and aimed up, firing a single arrow to the air. As it came down and touched the floor, it shifted to a portal of sorts allowing them both to fall through landing in a circular room, a large pool on the middle, having an odd purple glow to it and 3 symbols of the moon around the walls This is the source of our power... without it we are nothing. I am going to call on the lady of the night herself. Mind your tone with her and do not be offended by her.. it is .. her way

[Shadowfax]

As the ground opened, Silver lost her balance and stumbled into the room. The odd purple glow messed her eyes up for a moment, but they soon grew accustomed to it. She turned to Rahks and smirked.

"You know I am always polite with people. Besides... Im the Listener, so she'll be honored to meet me" But Silver gave Rahks a smirk as if to say she was only joking and that she would behave.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks chuckled and knelt down on the floor lowering his hood By the grace of shadows and fortune, I call of thee, Nocturnal! On que a strange portal opened, allowing a flock of crows to fly out, and a figure emerge. She was pale skinned with long dark hair and a purple dress. Her arms outstretched with a crow on each. It was the lady Nocturnal

She looked down before her at Rahks So you have heeded my calling Rahks, as to be expected of you. Tell me why do you carry the stench of the dread father? You think I would not know? I do not take kindly to traitors

Rahks raised his head and his eyes met with hers My lady, I would never hold a dagger to your back. My actions were out of need, not of betrayal. A group of Imperials has formed an alliance to kill any thief or assassin, as well as werewolves and vampires, I have been moving to gather forces to take these foes down

Her gaze was fixed and her face scrunched up and looked menacing You are to tell me these Imperials hunt those who receive my blessing of darkness? Very well Rahks, I see no betrayal in your voice, go with my blessing and end this purge

She was about to vanish as Rahks called out My lady, if I may be as so bold to ask for your aid. I know you do not concern yourself with mortals, or even much care for our being, but you do care for your own power and strength over the other lords. If these Imperials take hold hey will slaughter all your worshippers, all your followers. To that end, I ask that my ally also be blessed by you. She is the Listener of the Brotherhood, able with a blade, and stalks the night well. I vouch for her

Nocturnal stopped, looking between both Rahks and Silver You ask a great price Rahks, and suffer to lose much should your path falter, yet you seem determined with an unwavering conviction. While you are right, I care not for your petty mortal ways, I do care for my power She looked up directly at Silver Tell me girl, should you take my blessing, would you be willing to uphold my name as well as that of your Void King?

[Shadowfax]

Silver grit her teeth and went for her sword as the Daedric god appeared. She had never seen one before and the sight unsettled her greatly. She watched closely as Rahks and the god exchanged words, her hand slowly sliding off the hilt of her sword. She seemed bothered by the fact she was here, but Silver looked her dead in the eyes when she addressed her.

But when she asked her this.. Silver was silent for a moment. Did she want to be blessed by Nocturnal? Did she really want to be associated by another Guild? Her eyes drifted to Rahks for a moment before they fell back to Nocturnal. Rahks had his beliefs in Sithis.. and now here she was having a conversation with the daedric lord of the thieves guild.

"Of course. Now i've seen you with my own eyes.. There is no doubt you exist and are obviously powerful. Of course I will uphold your name in battle" Silver replied with no lie in her words.
