Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks stood up and p ulled down his hood, looking Silver dead in the eyes Silver... I am sorry.... Astrid is the only one who know everything, she saw the details herself no on else. Cicero might have known but we dealt with him. She has betrayed us Silver. She did not want to give up power and control to you and the Night Mother, so she found a way to kill you and me, thinking the Legion would be her salvation. Now it is her undoing

[Shadowfax]

"No.... No... She wouldn't do that... YOU'RE LYING!!!!!" She said, anger rising in her voice, though there was a tremble there also.

She glared at Rahks for a moment. He had always got along with Astrid, but she suspected deep down he despised her. But why would Astrid sell out her own blood? True, she was unstable at times, but she would never intentionally hurt her. Silver felt her shoulders shake and her head spin. But.. If Rahks was right about Astrid ratting them out then....

"ASTRID, NO!!!!" Silver suddenly yelled as the remembrance of the sanctuary being broken into came back to her.

She found Shadowmere grazing nearby and leapt onto his back, tears starting to shine in her eyes. Could she possibly make it back in time? One thing she knew... She could not fail her sister again.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks placed his hand her her shoulder Lets go save her together, you ride Shadowmere, I will hop on the back Silver nooded, though trembled in a mix of anger and fear, jumping onto the back of the black steed. Rahks followed on and held onto Silver's armor. Without wasting a second they were off, going as fast as possible. Despite carrying two, Shadowmere was still faster than any other horse in Skyrim and it didn't take long to reach the sanctuary

Parts of the forest was ablaze and soldiers could be heard everywhere. At the entrance there was a group of 5 guards waiting. Rahks took his bow and arrow, leaping off Shadowmere, and taking a s hot. Clean hit, one down. He charged forward and taking and arrow and jabbing it into the neck of a seconds guard before backing away and waiting Come at me you dogs, and feel the wraith of the dark Deadra!

[Shadowfax]

As Silver and Rahks got closer to the Sanctuary the scent of smoke was on the air. Immediately, Silver's heart dropped and she looked up at the sky where night was starting to fall. As they reached the sanctuary her heart truly sank when she saw that the place was ablaze, trees were burning to the ground and to her horror... there were still guards.

"No...." She muttered as it all hit her.

Rage took over then and she rushed towards the doors, or what was left of them. Silver yelled at the top of her lungs and lashed out at any in her path. Tears streamed down her face, but she didn't care. These men had torched her home and all her sister had worked for in the last few years and she was angry, scared and fearful. A guard caught Silver on the arm with his sword, getting under the armor and leaving a deep gash, but Silver kicked him and beheaded him with her own sword, oblivious to the pain.

"I'LL KILL YOU ALL! BY SITHIS YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!" Silver yelled as a few more men appeared.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks booted the last guard and charge down into the depth, putting his bow away and drawing his swords. The entrance was ablaze everything on fire, the way to Astrid's office cut off. Guard charged at Rahks but he blocked fast and turned to Silver Get down there and find everyone!! I'll take care of these maggots and any more who dare to take us. Get moving! He bit down on a guard's neck and slashed at the other

[Shadowfax]

"ASTRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Silver yelled through the flames, smoke crawling down her throat.

The nord coughed and squinted her eyes as she tried to re-focus them to the flaming sanctuary. Silver felt more sadness than she thought she would in that moment seeing her home on fire from the inside. She looked around desperately trying to catch sight of Astrid. Up ahead she could see the burnt corpse of Veezara. Silver had to fight the urge to throw up at the sight and when she went to rush over to him the form of Anjborn appeared. She reached out to him, but he transformed and began to fight with some of the guards who were trapped in the sanctuary.

Silver looked over her shoulder for Rahks and saw him fighting with some other guards. She could see he was safe, but Anjborn was not. She ran towards him, but the flames were growing thicker and soon he was cornered.

"ANJBORN! JUMP! OR YOU'LL DIE!!!!!" She yelled to the werewolf.

[KingKivuli]

The flames raged on, and the ground shaked. A section of the roof collapsed, trapping Anjborn and the guards before he could react. The fire was spreading and more guards were running about. A voice suddenly echoed in Silvers head Listener, come to me, take safety in my coffin and live to fight on, hurry now before all is lost The voice was that of the Night Mother calling out. By now the fire had covered the stairs back up and to the dining hall

[Shadowfax]

"ANJBORN NO!" Silver yelled as she was about to foolishly run to his aid, but she knew it was futile.

Her eyes glazed over and she began to look around for any signs of Astrid. Then she heard a horrible voice fill her head. Silver winced and shook her head violently, as if trying to get the voice of the Night mother out her head.

"N-no... I shan't! I need to find my sister!" She said, spinning round to face the stairs which were by now un-reachable.

Just then a loose piece of debris hit her on the side of the head, leaving a deep gash. Silver felt her world spinning and all she could smell as she fell to the floor was blood, fire and death. Her eyes closed as she hit the floor and she plunged into darkness.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks had finished with the guards he had encountered and also heard the Night Mothers call. From outside Nazir came running down Rahks we have to get out of here, before we burn alive, its only me and Bebbette that made it out, everyone else is lost Rahks looked at the Redguard and shook his head No, Silver is still in there, if you think I am leaving my friend behind just like that think again Rahks started to run down the stairs and leapt through the flames and landed with a thud

Nazir stopped chasing and looked through seeing Silver on the floor. Rahks quickly checked her over She is alive. Nazir get out of here. I know how to save us both, you just better come back once the fire is dead For the moment the Redguard didnt move, then looked at the situation. Right now there was nothing he could do. He nodded at Rahks and headed up out the sanctuary. Meanwhile Rahks threw his helmet off as the heat was rising, knelt down and picked up Silver

Without wasting time he ran as fast as he could to the Night Mother Blessed Night Mother, please. Keep Silver safe, no matter what happens to me He placed Silver inside the coffin and closed it up, and not moment too soon. An explosion went off at the back of the sanctuary causing the coffin and Rahks to smash through the stained window and land in the pool. The coffin was floating, and Rahks landed hard. The force of that and the explosion also knocked him out

Hours drifted by, a new day had come and it was early after noon, and from inside the coffin muffled voices of a young girl and a man could be heard Come on Nazir pull it harder, you almost have it It was Bebbette, the vampire girl practically ordering Nazir If am I almost there then why not help me then? Nazir said in a strained voice, which the vampire giggled I maybe a vampire but I am still a little girl He pulled once more and then the coffin stopped with a thud. He opened it up to see Silver inside My word... Silver.. SILVER! Are you alright?

[Shadowfax]

SilverEye opened her eyes and all she could see was darkness from being inside the Night Mothers coffin. For a moment she thought she was dead and lie there on her side in the darkness wondering if this was all the afterlife consisted of. Then she caught the smell of blood and when she moved her head, it throbbed painfully. That was when the memory of the debris hitting her occurred. So where was she now? All she could smell was blood and she could see nothing. Was she dead then? Was this going to be her entire existence now? Lying here alone in the dark thinking herself stupid about how she had failed Farkus. Her daughter. Her friend and ally Rahks. Her dear little sister.

Was Astrid even alive? Silver's whole life had revolved around her little sister. All Silver could think about now was how much she had failed her if Silver was truly dead. When Astrid had needed her the most, she had died. A silent sob escaped her. Had the last three years of her life been a waste? Had she endured so much... Given up so much to just die and fail her sister? But then the realization of Astrid betraying them occurred to her. With the sanctuary in flames and Astrid nowhere to be seen.. Had she betrayed them and fled? For a moment Silver felt her stomach tighten, but she wasn't sure if it were in anger or joy that her sister was alive.

For a good hour, she lie there in silence. Her grief, anger and fear engulfing her......and then she heard voices. Were these people coming to torture her even more? Was she in hell? Or in the void with the dread father? Silver gulped. She had killed alot of people in her life time... So it was possible she had been sent to the void as punishment.

The light hit her face suddenly and her natural reaction was to raise her arm, but she couldn't even do that. Instead her eyes squinted and her head slowly turned to look up at Rahks, Babette and Nazir.

"Im not dead..." She managed to say to them.
