Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks followed Aela closely. Their path was stopped by yet another Companions. Rahk's eyes watched closely. The moment the Nord went for his weapon Rahks shifted stance and went to go for his. Thankfully Aela stepped in. Rahks was glad. Although willing to do so, he preferred not to spill any Companion blood. He settled down and turned to Silver as she spoke Very interesting greeting I must say...Maybe next time Ill give him one more personal He turned back round and kept walking

[Shadowfax]

"Please don't start any fights here... We need to convince them you are on our side on this, and to be honest...You'll never regain my trust, but I am willing to work with you on bringing the Sun Legion down" Aela said harshly to Silver.

Silver went to retaliate, but Farkus placed a hand on her shoulder, immediately silencing her. The little group pushed the doors open to Jorvaskar and all the walls Silver had built to prepare herself for that moment came crashing down as the memories flooded in. The worst part was, it hadn't changed at all since the day she left that early morning back in the spring. She looked to Rahks, but he seemed preoccupied with is new surroundings. All instincts were telling her to run, but she couldn't... Not now.

"Aela, why do you bring with you a traitor and thief?" Asked Athis from the otherside of the room.

"Circle business. Be on your way Athis" Aela warned the dark elf.

Athis muttered something before stalking off, but made sure to look Rahk's and Silver over as he passed.

"Are you ready to meet our leader?" Aela asked Rahks.

[KingKivuli]

Friendly bunch huh.. Rahks watched Athis closely, making sure he as gone out of sight before continuing to look round the room. It was infact rather pleasant, enough to bring a small smile to his face. He looked over to Silver and nodded before Aela caught his attention again It would indeed be an honor to meet such a person, I only hope there is some satisfaction towards meeting me. I am no mere thief, I am a Nightingale

[Shadowfax]

"Come then" Aela said, pushing the doors open to the lower part of the building.

The group walked down the corridor and halted outside Kodlak's chambers. Aela gently tapped the door and held her face to the door.

"Kodlak, it's me and Farkus. I have two people here who want to see you. One is an ex Companion and the other, a Nightingale of the thieves guild" She called through the small gap in the door.

"I take it you mean SilverEye? Come in" Kodlak said.

As they entered, someone grabbed Silver by the scruff of her armor and threw her up against the wall, throwing their arm across her neck so she was pinned.

"YOU DARE SHOW YOURSELF HERE!!??!!" Vilkas yelled in her face.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks followed Aela closely through the halls. He had to admit to himself, he was indeed a bit nervous. They came to a great door, knocked and entered. Not a moment later yet another male Nord had picked Silver up and held her to the wall. With a snarl and not thinking Rahks jumped up and put all his force into a kick, slamming into Vilkas' side, knocking him off Silver. Without wasting a beat Rahks drew up one of his swords and held it against Vilkas' neck Lay another finger on her and I swear it will be the last you touch!! He glared round at the room Is this how the great Companions treat guests? Regardless of what Silver has done, she is a guest here now, and it has NEVER brought harm upon you. I thought you all had honor yet you all jump to your blades given the chance

[Shadowfax]

Silver collapsed onto the floor in a heap, coughing for breath and massaging her neck. When Rahk's attacked Vilkas, Farkus drew his own sword and pointed it at the Khajits head. Silver made for her own sword to protect Rahks, but Aela already had an arrow hitched and aiming at Silver. Whilst all this went on, Kodlak heaved a loud sigh, which bought them all to their senses.

"The Khajit is right. I know you all have fire burning in your hearts, but I WILL NOT have blood spilt in this place. All of you, sheath your weapons. Silver will answer to her crimes once we have heard them out. Vilkas.. Aela..Farkus....Stand down" Kodlak said, his voice calm, but there was a distinct aura of authority in it.

As if on que, all three companions backed off and turned to Kodlak, giving a bow. Silver leapt to her feet and walked over to Kodlak going to apologize, but he held his hand up and that silenced her, his attention was on Rahks.

"Never have we had a member of the thieves guild under our roof before as a guest. This must be something serious. My name is Kodlak, leader of the Companions. It is an honor to meet you sir. Now, please tell me... What brings you to Jorvaskar?" he said, outstretching a hand to Rahks.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks kept his blade on Vilkas and glanced over at Farkus. When Kodlak spoke Rahks too put his weapon down and payed close attention to the old man. Rahks stepped forward and shook his hand, bowing as well It is an honor Kodlak. I am Rahks, Nightingale of the thieves guild. While I wish the honor to stand here was under better circumstances, I sadly come with dire news Rahks began pacing the room as he spoke, letting his words be heard by all

The Companions, the thieves, the Brotherhood, all vampires, all werewolves, all manner of.. 'dark things'. We are in danger. The Stormcloaks beat back the legion from taking over Skyrim but they have returned with a new force. The Sun legion. They aim to wipe out anything they deem dark and evil, along with anyone connected to them. Already they have attacked Windhelm and Riften, which my brethren hold, and not long ago came to take this city, and discovered a werewolf through magic Rahks indicated to Farkus Both me and Silver stepped in and wiped them out, but make no mistake they will be back. They are now aware that the Brotherhood and thieves are allied, and that werewolves inhabit this city. They will come and they will slaughter

Rahks took a breath and stopped before Kodlak, standing at attention They do not count on one thing however. An alliance that will go down in history between Companions, Werewolves, Thieves, and Assassins. They think that we will just slaughter each other. I say we do much worse, and work together to fight out this storm. I have drawn my swords once to defend one of your own. I would do it again

[Shadowfax]

Kodlak listened to Rahks, his expression not changing once as if this news hadn't surprised him in the slightest. When Rahks was done however he slowly raised an eyebrow and folded his arms. First of all, he turned to Farkus and asked;

"Is this true?" and the Nord nodded in agreement, which caused Vilkas to mutter something.

"Well.. I must admit I had heard rumors of something like this happening, but I thought they would only stay rumors... I guess they have started to attack then" Kodlak said thoughtfully as he began to pace.

"An alliance between Companion, assassin and thieves... Nothing has ever happened like this before but there is something about you that I trust, so I would be willing to help you out and fight alongside you" Kodlak said with a smile. "As for you...." He said, his expression turning grave as he looked at Silver.

"No apology, no punishment is good enough to forgive you for what you did. I myself feel uneasy working with the Dark Brotherhood... However... Farkus is the one you hurt most of all, so if he trusts you... Then I shall trust you" Kodlak said.

Farkus stood infront of Silver protectively and bowed to Kodlak.

"I trust her entirely sir. She won't betray us on this"

Kodlak nodded and turned back to Aela.

"We should investigate this organization more when you are all well rested. Please, show them to the guest rooms" He told her.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks bowed to Kodlak once more It is indeed an honor you can count on us, both me AND Silver. All I can say for now is that you prepare yourselves for battle at any moment if and when they return Rahks turned and headed out, glancing a smile at Aela, standing to the side to let everyone else leave and Aela to take them to their quarters

[Shadowfax]

Aela returned the smile and led them back down the corridor. Farkus followed and then Silver. Before they left however, Vilkas leant over Silver's shoulder and whispered in her ear;

"You even think about hurting him again, i'll kill you myself" before striding off towards his own room.

"You have no idea what went on..." Silver muttered as she followed Farkus and the others.

"You'll have to excuse the state of the place... We've not had guests in Jorvaskar for months" Aela was telling Rahks.

As Silver turned towards the guest rooms, her heart stopped and her eyes popped out their sockets as she heard a young voice call out 'Daddy!' The little brown haired nord who couldn't have been any older than five ran out of one of the rooms and launched herself into Farkus' arms. She wore a black tunic and had those silvery eyes... The eyes that belonged to her mother.

"Heeeey sweetheart, how's my little companion doing today?" Farkus said as he span the child around in a full 360 circle.

Silver stood on the spot looking utterly horrified. Farkus however smiled kindly and turned towards Silver.

"Theres someone here to see you Astrid" He told her, placing her on the floor and turning her towards Silver.

The child ran forwards as Silver dropped to her knees. Astrid threw her arms around Silver and buried her head into her mothers shoulder.

"Hi mummy" The child whispered.

That was the last straw and Silver began to sob as she hugged her daughter tightly.

"Hey sweetie..." She managed after a while.
