Sanguine My Sister - [Private - KingKivuli and Shadowfax]

[KingKivuli]

Before Rahks could begin the doors opened. It was Brynjolf and Karliah, with the Jarl of Whiterun. Rahks instantly bowed Jarl... thank you for coming to this meeting The Jarl walked forward and stood between Rahks and the group My city is under threat, or so your colleagues say. I thought if there was a meeting about it, I may as well make an appearance. I will hear your claims, but make no mistake, I do not feel so easy with a band of thieves inside my walls He went to sit down along with Karliah and Brynjolf

Rahks straightened back up and nodded I understand, but you have my word we are hear to help not to hinder He started pacing about speaking out to the full group Make no mistake all of you. The Sun Legion is a real threat. One that was brought forward by the Emperor himself. You have already seen what they can do when they attack this city before and almost killed Farkus. Since then the Brotherhood got a contract, to kill the Emperor himself. This dead was done, but it did not stop them. They ransacked the Brotherhoods home, slaughtering anyone in their sights. Only two remain, and Silver lost her sister in the process. Now they come for us, here in this city. It is where the first blood was drawn. They know werewolves live in this walls, they know that thieves and assassins would fight to defend it. They want to take us all out at once. I say let them try. I say let us put past fueds behind us and stand as one

[Shadowfax]

There was muttering among the Companions, Thieves and the Jarl. SilverEye sighed and looked down at the floor for a moment and let their mutterings go right through her. She grit her teeth and threw her head back up. She looked at all of them in turn before pacing up and down, her voice sharp and stern as she began to address all in the room.

"All of you... Listen to me. LISTEN NOW. Rahks and I... are proof of these truces are indeed possible! I was once a Companion. My life was stolen away by the Brotherhood, but I have returned to serve Hircine once more. Rahks here... He comes from the thieves guild. True.. I hated him before, but you learn in the end you have a similar goal. You learn to trust each other and you watch the others backs no matter what! You become allies... No.. friends"

Silence engulfed the room once more and Silver knew she had their attention. Aela however, raised an eyebrow.. Somewhat amused by Silvers little speech.

"Now if we fight alone in this war, we are all going to die. Together.. We can beat them. Together we can win and reclaim our freedom! But the only way we are going to be able to do that together is if we form a truce. Right here... Right now. Beneath the house of Jorvaskar we must pact to stand together! let's paint the land with the blood of the Sun Legion. Let's show them what Companions, Thieves and assassins can do! Will you fight or fall? Will you stand as one or stand alone?! Will we get rid of these vile men and regain our freedom?!" Silver yelled.

[KingKivuli]

Brynjolf stood up with Karliah and stepped forward You both have been through oblivion and back for this, especially you lassy. I am sorry for your loss, but me and Karliah will stand by your side on this, as will the rest of us The rest of the thieves cheered in agreement, all ready to take out arms. Rahks smiled at the response Thank you. We could really use your aid in this time

[Shadowfax]

Aela looked over at Silver and marched forward so the pair were staring right at each other. They were the same height and both were stubborn and full of pride. You could feel the tension between the two as they glared at each other.

"You say alot of fancy words SilverEye.. But will you turn your back on us like you did the last time? Abandon your family and daughter to walk a road of darkness?"

Silver looked back at Aela, her eyes hardening aswell as her tone when she spoke next.

"I never turned my back on you. I only left to help my sister. I always knew one day I would return here and now I have... And the Dark Brotherhood comes with me. More allies for us in this war. I know you've got a grudge against me Aela... You always have done. And if you think I am going to abandon you in the battle field... if you ever suspect that, put an arrow through my chest" Silver spat.

Silence fell again. Aela then slowly held out her hand to Silver. For a moment she was confused, but slowly she took hold of the huntress' hand and shook it.

"Then the companions have your back in this war. But I will hold you to that arrow" Aela said, her tone not unfriendly, but more a matter of fact.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks listened in closely to the two Nords. He was happy they could get over their little distrust, and gave a smile to Aela. The Jarl had stood up and walked over as well Well... I may not like thieves and assassins but you can give one hell of a speech. Your words were pure, no lies nor tricks. You will have the full support of this city. Just tell me what you need He stretched out his hand and smirked. Rahks took it and shook and smirked Thank you sire. As for what we need. Anyone and everyone who can fight to be ready at a moments notices, have supplies ready and an escape route planned. Keep a constant watch to the West. That is the way they will come The Jarl nodded and pondered a moment If there is nothing else, I will take my leave Rahks shook his head and watched the Jarl depart

[Shadowfax]

Silver nodded in thanks to the Jarl as he departed. She was grateful to him for sparing men to their aid and she looked around at the others. The rumors were indeed true.. Rahks and Silver were the faces of this rebellion and were going to take the fight all the way.

"I'll go up to the Skyforge and see if I can detect any movement. You get the best view of the land from up there" Silver said, giving Rahks a reassuring smile to prove she wasn't going to go running off after Farkus. She left and Aela walked over to Rahks.

"I must admit.. the two of you give one hell of a speech. But words can't win this war" Aela said with a sigh.

[KingKivuli]

Not unless one of us turns out to be a Dragonborn anyway Rahks joked on as he started to plan away in his head But you are right, we will need everyone at their best for this. Should not be too bad though, I mean we do have the best archer in Tamriel on our side Rahks puffed out his chest and did a mock pose, teasing Aela

[Shadowfax]

Aela rolled her eyes and punched him in the arm as he said this.

"Well... Don't you worry. She will protect your hide out there on the field. No harm in being second best thought Rahks. I think our little competition last time proved that I am the better archer. No one can out do me" She said with a smirk, her voice full of confidence.

SilverEye made her way to the Skyforge and looked out over the lands of Skyrim. She could just about make out the tents on the horizon where the Sun Legion were based. That filled Silver with dread and her fear for Farkus returned. But then something else caused her to feel angry.

"You shouldn't sneak up on people like that.. After all you are of the Companions.. Not the Thieves guild" She called out over her shoulder without turning round.

"How rude of me" Came Vilkas' voice.

Silver turned to face him, but as she turned, his hands clamped around her neck and he threw her into the wall by the firey forge. Silver struggled against him, managing to kick his shin and headbutt him away from her. Vilkas stumbled and glared back at her, blood dripping from his mouth.

"No.. THAT was rude" Silver corrected him, offering him a hand up.

Vilkas took her hand, but span her round, resting a dagger against her naked neck. Silver sighed and this time didn't try to fight back.

"So your here to kill me then?" She asked.

"You think you can just waltz back into Jorvaskar, say a few noble words and all your sins will be forgiven? Well i've got news for you SilverEye.. I will NEVER forgive you for what you did to my brother. You ruined his life... Abandoned him and your own daughter to chase after your stupid little sister! You have no honor... You will never be one of us again" He snarled into her ear.

"You talk about honor.. Yet here you are holding a knife to my neck making petty threats. What do you want me to say Vilkas? Sorry for what I did? Well I truly am.. But apparently, that doesn't seem to be enough in your eyes" Silver growled back, though her tone was rather calm.

Vilkas dug the knife into her neck slightly, making a cut in her flesh. Silver winced a little, but tried not to let it bother her.

"I'll be watching you. But know this.. You are not welcome, nor forgiven in my eyes" He snarled, roughly throwing her to the ground before marching off back to Jorvaskar.

Silver's hand immediately went to her neck. When she pulled her hand away she could see it was stained with blood. One thing was certain... Vilkas wasn't with her in this fight.

[KingKivuli]

Rahks lost his balance a moment but quickly regained his footing Second best, if I remember rightly, it was a tie, that is with me being generous as well. I do seem to recall splitting not one but two of your arrows in rapid fire. Still no matter He took her hand and laced fingers with her I know as long as we have each others back, even dragons will run in fear Once more he leant down and softly began to kiss Aela

[Shadowfax]

"Damn right they will" Aela said and then she too kissed Rahks back.

The door slammed open and Vilkas appeared. He spotted Rahks and Aela and his fury only increased. With his lip bloody, the nord strode over to the pair. He grabbed hold of Aelas arm and pretty much pulled her out of Rahks arms.

"Hardly appropriate is it Aela? You and a thief? Have you no honor at all?! It is forbidden!" He growled at her, taking hold of her other arm, which Aela swiftly snatched back from him.

"What's the matter with you? You look like you've been brawling too..." Aela remarked, seeing the blood on his lip now.
