Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks came up to Delvin Any idea where Brynjolf is? Delvin was about to answer, in turn he gestured behind, sure enough there Brynjolf was, and so was Karliah, both also Nightingales. Rahks went to greet his associates Ah there you are, the deed is done, he lies dead however thanks to the Brotherhood and Silvereye Rahks pointed her out You can give the Black Briars this He handed over the documents from the meadery

A job well done as always my friend, I am sure his death was needed otherwise you would never allow it. Still I am glad you are here, and Ms Silvereye too. Me and Karliah have just uncovered some grave news Rahks tensed, what issues could befall the thieves now. It was Karliah who spoke We heard rumors not long after you left that our two organisations were in danger, we have been asking round our contacts and found the truth... it is most unsettling

Rahks just stood and listened, nodding to continue as Brynjolf did After the Stormcloaks beat the Imperials back to Solitude we thought they would leave but instead they are trying to take over Skyrim, and all provinces another way. They have a new faction called the Sun Legion. They have vowed to wipe out all traces off assassins and thieves alike with no mercy to gain favour Rahks looked stunned not knowing what to say

There is more Karliah continued They want rid of all 'darkness'. Undead, necromancers, deadric worshippers, vampires and werewolves. They see these ass unpure and not for this world, wanting to wipe it clean. Even people associted with them would either be locked up or killed on site. The emperor himself sanctioned this Rahks was stunned. He did not know how to reply, how could he after what he was told

[Shadowfax]

Silver folded her arms and leant against the wall, watching Rahks carefully as he went to greet his comrades. She assumed these three were higher ranking in the Guild for their armor looked alot better than the other thieves. When her name was mentioned, Silver gave a lazy wave of her hand to the two newcomers, but what they said next shocked her.

So.. this 'Sun Legion' was out to kill them all? Her thoughts drifted to the Silver Hand for a moment. She remembered how much they hated her kind and wanted all werewolves slaughtered. Silver herself had killed many of their men in their many battles, but why were this legion out to kill all organizations? And when the Emperor was mentioned, her eyes widened with horror. She wouldn't, and couldn't let Astrid accept this high contract.

As silence filled the room, SilverEye looked to the floor for a moment, before looking back up at the thieves.

"Let em try" She said, her voice full of determination.

[KingKivuli]

The 3 gales looked over at Silver |They will try Spoke Karliah Their forces have already grown in vast numbers, with weapons and armor of silver. They are have already begun work to control Windhelm and here in Riften. What is worse still a large force is already on its way to Whiterun, if they control that central region by gaining favour with the people, they can easily bring the rest of the Imperial, and Sun legion in from the south

[Shadowfax]

Falkreath wasn't mentioned and that calmed Silver's nerves somewhat. Atleast the sanctuary would be safe for a time. Not that they'd be able to get to it or enter it that was... She looked from person to person, her Nord stubborness kicking in.

"If they think that the Brotherhood will go down that easily, they have another thought coming" Silver snarled, slamming her blade into the table next to her.

She was angrier more than worried now and her breathing became heavy.

"So what are you gonna do? Just let them carry on with this? Or do we make a stand and tell them that our Guilds will not go down that easy"

[KingKivuli]

Brynjolf raised his hand to the other members to stay back as they all jumped up at the shouting Listen lass, you need to calm down, rash thinking will not get us anywhere. As for a plan we do have one. I am staying here to trip their attempt, Karliah will ride for Windhelm, and Rahks, I know you just came from that way, but mind heading back to Whiterun? Rahks just nodded and they both locked arms You need not ask my friend They separated and backed off Brynjolf continued This is no guild contract, act as you need to my friend Brynjolf and Karliah stood at attention and held a fist to their hearts May Nocturnal guide you Rahks did the same and uttered the same words and turned to head out Come on Silver if we are lucky we can be there just as night falls

[Shadowfax]

For some reason, Silver felt like she needed to go with Rahks on this one. She had done what Astrid had asked her, but with a threat against their guild, Silver felt like she had to protect them. A group of assassins? Why was she so fiercely loyal to them all of a sudden? Her sister.. That was why. And she remembered the Silver Hand. How they had painted all werewolves with the same brush, when the Companions were good and calm natured werewolves.

Silver gave a sharp nod of her head when Rahks told her they should ride out and she followed him.

"I hope the horses are well rested.. We need to make haste"

[KingKivuli]

Rahks led them both out of the city and to the stables, sure enough both horses had been fed and watered. He took his to his saddle waiting for Silver. Once both were ready they took off with haste. Not a moment too soon it seemed, a small group of what appeared to be Sun Legion marched passed them heading towards Riften, and small Imperial camps could be seen around. Neither spoke during the ride, only focused on reaching Windhelm as fast as they could.

-----

Night was starting to fall, just as the pair rode down from the hills and across the river to Whiterun, both horses panting heavily from the hard ride. Rahks looked around and pointed to the south-west Look Silver, Imperial camp Sure enough there were several tents, soldiers and armor, all lined up ready to go Those dogs must be preparing to strike at dawn, we should be cautious

[Shadowfax]

Silver rode on with a look of determination on her face all the way to Windhelm. The thought of this Sun Legion made her blood boil and she hated every one of it's members. When night began to fall, Rahks finally broke the silence and she looked down at the Imperial camp he had spotted. Silver grew hungry for blood and could feel her beast blood within her stir.

"I could go down there and tear them all to pieces to help calm our nerves" Silver said, almost licking her lips at the thought of blood.

She looked down at the camp, Shadowmere fidgeting slightly as they passed the camp.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks rode to block her view of the camp You are a good assassin Silver but they are armed to kill our kind, to matter your skill you can not take an whole army, our best bet is to get inside the city and try to form some kind of defence against them His words passed on the wind as they reached the stables. Yet again Rahks headed to the stable hand, passing over some money. This time however he took the pouches his horse carried and attached them to his belt

[Shadowfax]

"You have no idea what I am capeable of" Silver shot back at Rahks, but she didn't make a move to go boldly charging down the hill.

When Rahks gave his horse to the stablehand, Silver turned Shadowmere free again. The stallion gently nuzzled her hand before trotting off to graze. She watched him for a moment until all she could see were the bright red lights of his eyes. Smiling, she turned back to Rahks and followed him towards Windhelm. It had certainly been a while since SilverEye had been here. She hadn't murdered here in months.

"Have you been to Whiterun before?" She asked Rahks, wondering if she knew about the slight hatred of the Dark elves here.
