Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Rahks heard the scream and gently paced in, seeing the scene before him. His ears folded back and a frown covered his face. Everything Silver had done in this moment seemed all for nothing. Astrid was dead, and the Brotherhood broken. He came over, gently taking the blade from Silver. He wrapped Astrids fingers around it, and crossed her arms over her chest. He bowed his head in final respect and knelt to Silver, placing his arm around her Silver... I am so sorry...I promised to help you save your sister. At least now she is at peace, and one day you will see each other again. Until that time Farkas and your daughter are still here, and so am I. I know its not much, but it is all I can offer my friend He leant in and hugged her fully, nuzzling against her

[Shadowfax]

Silver leapt away from Rahks and looked at him through eyes of anger. She was feeling the real brunt of it all now and she leapt up to her feet.

"I FAILED HER RAHKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I COULDN'T EVEN SAVE ONE PERSON!!!" She yelled, kicking all the candles across the floor, amazingly not setting anything on fire.

She began grabbing things off the burnt shelves and launching them across the room in her fury. All she wanted to do now was release this anger and sadness within her.

"IM USELESS. I FAILED MY SISTER AND NOW SHE'S DEAD!!!!!!!!!! I WISH IT WERE ME WHO WERE THERE ON THE FLOOR!!!!" Silver snarled, catching sight of Astrids dead body, which only made her rage more.

She ripped the torn tapestries down, kicked Astrids bed over, smashed a lone mirror and with the last of her strength yelled out to the heavens before collapsing in a heap on the floor, banging her fist bloody against the cobble.

"Astrid... I am so sorry... Please.... Please... I need you......" Silver sobbed into the floor.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks watched as the chaos unfolded and shook his head. He grabbed the Blade of Woe and marched over. With his strength, he picked Silver up and punched her hard Get a grip Silver! You did all you could, and Astrid wanted this. Just look at her face. She is smiling, even at this death, and she has not left you He threw the blade down infront of Silver's face She is right there, and will be forever if you want her to be. Now you and I know the real people who killed her. The Sun Legion. We still have a contract to do. I say we finish it. You might not have saved your sister, but we can avenge her. So what is your choice? Stay here and mop about? Or stand strong in your sisters name and fight this to the end? He leant down and held out his hand, with a fire burning in his eyes

[Shadowfax]

Silver skidded across the floor as the full force of the punch hit her square in the face. Blood dripped down her face and she looked as though she was going to kill Rahks for a split second. His words angered her and she stayed lying on her side looking at him with pure venom. When he grabbed the sword, she winced and closed her eyes thinking he was going to end her life, but instead he placed it in-front of her.

She looked at her own reflection in the blade and blinked as memories flooded back to her. The day she had said goodbye to Astrid when she left for the Companions.

*******************

Astrid took it slowly from her and unwrapped the cloth to reveal a small dagger with a golden dragon helm with a ruby eye. The blade was a brilliant silver and it felt well balanced as Astrid held it up and inspected her eyes in the reflection.

"There's danger on the road I hear. This was my first weapon and has served me well. It was forged up at the skyforge so it's the finest steel in this part of Skyrim. It'll keep you safe" Silver said softly.

"I can't accept this.." Astrid said going to hand it back, but Silver shook her head.

"Yes you can. It is a gift"

"ASTRID! GET HERE NOW!"

Astrid smiled up at Silver and nodded. Hearing her uncle yell however, she turned her head and yelled back this time.

"SHUT THE HELL UP! I'LL BE THERE WHEN IM READY!"

Silver couldn't help but laugh at this and put a hand on her sisters shoulder.

"If you need me, all you need to do is write to me and i'll come." Silver assured her little sister.

"I'll see you soon SilverEye" Astrid said sadly as she walked off. She walked deliberately slowly to annoy her uncle that little bit more.

Silver stood there watching Astrid's retreating back and felt a deep sadness fill her. Once she walked off round the corner and out of sight, she stood there to see if a shouting match would start, but after a minutes silence she knew it was safe to go. So with a heavy heart once more, she turned and headed off towards her new life. This was the first time she'd left for a long period of time and she prayed to the nine her sister would be safe.


************

Silver looked at her own eyes reflecting in the blade and for a moment.. She thought she saw Astrid 'in' the blade. When she blinked however she was gone, but it was what she needed. Silver narrowed her eyes and looked at Rahks hand. What was she doing? If she wanted to help Astrid now... She had to fight. Avenge her family and her blood. End the Sun Legion.

Silver grasped Rahks hand and he hauled her to her feet. When she spoke, her tone was different and she gently took the blade from Rahks.

"Lets send them ALL to the void"

[KingKivuli]

Rahks hauled Silver up and upon hearing we words gave a big toothy grin. Nazir stepped in I am sorry to interupt but, what is the plan now? We are crippled and have no guidance Rahks Walked up to him and said as clear as day This is not over, we have a contract, we will forfill it. As for you, find a new home and rebuild you still have a leader. The Night Mother, but first, tell me anything you know of the Emperor Nazir looked a moment, puzzled yet pleased If you both are willing to still go through with this, then all I know is he is on his ship, waiting to depart tomorrow. While you go on with this, I will start rebuilding the Dawnstar sanctuary

Rahks nodded at the infomation, just as Bebette walked over to him You left your weapons, I think you will need them Rahks took up his swords and bow, setting them on himself Thank you. Now one last thing to to He reached into his pouch and pulled out a figure of Nocturnal, placing it on the floor and bowing down Keeper of the night and shadow, hear my call, bless me with your armor so that I may strike down your foes The statue glowed and fired a beam out and Rahks. Within moments he was cloaked in the Nightingale Armor, but not his own, a new cleaned and perfect set. The energy around him moved to Silver before it faded. Not only had he been granted new armor but all wounds were healed and health restored Ready to end this? Partner

[Shadowfax]

Silver was shocked when the Nocturnal figure healed her wounds and restored her armor back to it's original state too. This time though, she had an additional sword holster on her back for the blade of woe. She smiled gently and slipped the blade into it's place before looking back at Nazir.

"Astrids sword? Does that mean?" He began.

"She named me leader. For now Nazir, I leave rebuilding the Dark Brotherhood to you. Keep the night mother safe and keep Babette close. Begin recruiting members and keep yourselves safe" She gently placed a hand on his shoulder "I will not let our family have died for nothing. I will avenge them all and I will return soon" She told him.

The Redguard nodded and turned to leave with Babette. Silver slowly turned to Rahks and nodded, tying the Dark Brotherhood scarf around her neck.

"As always partner. Let's show them all what the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild are capeable of"

[KingKivuli]

Rahks lead the way out where Shadowmere was standing. She has several guards bodies dead around her. Rahks hopped up a and pulled Silver along too. They set off heading back to Solitude. The ride was swift and too barely any time. They arrived at the shore of the bay just as the sun was going down. Rahks jumped off and looked over at the ship There it is. How do you want to handle this? Sneak approach or go in head first?

[Shadowfax]

As Silver leapt off Shadowmere's back, she tightened the scarf of the Dark Brotherhood around her neck as she looked out at the horizon. Her eyes darkened and there was a look of confidence and anger about them that was aimed at the Emperor. With the new title of 'leader of the Dark Brotherhood' that Astrid had given her.. She intended to do them justice and not let her sisters legacy be for nothing. And yet... She was also hating that title and the ties she had to the Brotherhood. No... The Dark Brotherhood was, whether she liked it or not a part of who she was. And she would represent them in this fight all the way.

"I want them to see we are not afraid.. But there could be too many of them to go in head first. So we should stick to the shadows. Atleast.... For now" She said with a smirk, raising her hood over her head.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks pulled his hood up and put his mask on. Heading down the shoreline and started to sneak alone he dead bushes and rocks I have been on such a vessal before. Nice and strong, takes alot to bring one down, but they have a major flaw. At the back where the Anchor is up the chain, is a hole into the ship. We can climb up and in with ease. There should only be one guard, two at most

[Shadowfax]

"Heh, then the element of surprise is ours" Silver said with a smirk.

Avenging Astrid was pushing her on and she longed to kill and paint this boat with their blood. She looked up at the moon, which was starting to climb into the sky. Less people would be awake at-least when they boarded. She began to wade into the water. Even though she was armored up, it still felt cold.

"Lets go" She said, wading deeper into the water.
