Skyrim - Blood and Honor

[SinnerShadow]

'Great no I have to choose. Kill Marro and reuinite him with his oh so beloved son or finish this blighted job.Finishing goes iwhtout say but .. damn.' She had nealry strangled Mortere when he begna panicing when she had entered his room. Hell she wanted to strangle him on princible but she held back becuase he was presnelty her only source of information. Befre entering the city she stole a travelign clock from a camping band of farmers, who hadn't ntced her, so she'd be able to cover herself better.
Leaving the Bannered Mare, still in worse shape than she could recall feeling in a long time, she debated on seeing if Zev was one in the city and two if he was evne awake.
One of them was bound to be true but she didn't have time.
But damned people loved gossiping, it was reaching the darknest part of the night, normal time to turn in for sleep, and people couldn't shut up about 'Teh Destruction of the Brotherhood' what a load of crap.
The gaurds gave her strange looks as she left the city on eevne commented that she'd est find shelter this ngiht, she almost wanted to strnagle him and say her shelter was sort of burned out,
"Right where I left you." She said comign up to Shadowmere. "Guess where we get to go back to?" She asked hte dark horse who looked at her knowingly. "Yeah right back to Solitude where I'll probalby get more shot up wiht holes than I am already. So .. let's get this over with."

It was a while before Zev got back into town later than he expected. Though he did need to get bane first. it wasent heard he called him and he came. The guard didnt give them any trouble, they knew who he was and that the wolf was his.
'Its been an intersting day' he thought to himself as he walked threw the dark streets. Normaly he liked running threw the night, it was the wolf part of him but right now he was tired.
It was strange, he was always more reserved about doing anything with anyone. But that guy, he didnt know why he did that he normaly never did unless he really knew someone. He didnt know if it was jest the fact that it was another werewolf. After all he didnt know much at all about him. but he didnt think that anyone would find out after all why talk about someone you bearly know and had a one night stand with.
He got to Yourvasker and walked in, those that were up ether didnt care or were drunk. Not like it maddered to much he went down to the sleeping quarters, part of him hoped that he wasent noticed by the other cercle members, though they were most likely out or asleep right now.

She wanted to urge Shadowmere faster but for the life of her she couldnt' handle anythign more than a steady trot now. the non stop ride earlier combined with the purge and burns she was beyond phsycially spent. he burns she had stung with every movemnt but she coudln't stop. She had a narrow span of time that the Emperor remained in Skyrim.
Their deaths had to mean somehting.
"I know I should tell you to go faster and you know it but thank you for not going any more. I'll be bleeding by the end of this more than likely." She patted Shadowmere as the horse trotted steadily along the road. She was tense and consntatly looked over her hsoulder and aorund for anyoen fallowing her. she wans't ignorant for a second in thinking her own pursuers had stopped the hunt, luck them she couldnt' waste her efforts on them.
"Sense your not a normal horse and that's more than evident care to share any good helaing spells? Cause I'm reach the end of my rope of healing knoledge." she laughed lightly while trying to shift and not hurt her thighs anymore than they were already.
No such luck it seemed.

A cloaked figure watching the Brition did everything he could not to jump out and give her every healing potion he had. Cicero knew he could help, he couldent preform magic but he did know a little thing or two about magic. as odd as that seamed. He knew the potions even in his less than saine state. He may not be readdy to apper yet but he could still help. Up the road his dear listener was on was a dead bandit body, If she stopped to look it over he could leave some things that could help with the healing. He did jest that some health potions and supplys for healing salve. Things you would normaly have on the road. He knew she was smart enough with how to work magic and potions to figure out how to use these, He jest needed to hope that she would stop, or that Shadowmear would know that some healing items would be this way. He jest needed to stay hidden a little while longer.

Shadowmere's ears flicked hearing the smallest sounds and snorted a large white puff of air from her nostrils. Sonja was so tempted to get off the horse and try her luck at walking at least she thaught it couldn't hurt anymore than riding was. A black mass on the road gave her slight pause but apon discovering it was a dead bandit she gave it not a seocnd glance.
Shadowmere ad other ideas.
The mare stopped at the corpses side and sniffed it, and Sonja wanst lookign forward to forcign the horse forma free meal. Clearly sniffing intnelty at the body Sonja sighed loudly. "We don't have time you know that.... What are you looking for on him anyway?" She asked right as she heared clinking from the body, and a few small bottle slipped out form the bndits bag. "... Well .. I don't think he'll be needing these..."
Slidding off the horse nelarymade her cry outloaud at the stinging. Keepign ahnd on the saddle she careuflly knelt down and sifted threw the bandits supplies .. well salves and potions she oculdnt say no to. Shadowmere kept sniffing but not eating than her head went up and she seemed to be lookign aorund intnelty. "If you now more than me now would be a grnad time to share." She told the horse who sijply gave her a look far to intellegent.
"Right evne if you could speak.." Stnaidng up shakly and with more stiffnes than she liked decided wlakign could hurt her much. Other than time but damn she coudlnt handel the saddle anymore and what could she do against the Emperor if she couldnt' even stnad? Carefully tying the dead bandits poutch to the sddle beofre they begna walking she noted how there was no blood stains on the ba nor dirt inf act .. it was very clean. This kndolge made the hairs on the back of her neck stnad up and her hand clentched Shadowmere's riengs evne tighter.
"Faster pace yes?" Thoguh she wans't asking. using one hand to carefully open the cork on the potion and she braced herself for the horrid taste that was about to overcome her. "I'll kill that bandit agian fi this is poison."

This was all Cicero could do for the moment. It was not time for him to return jest yet. Ofcorse he would, But part of him wanted to see if she really could go threw with killing the Emproer. it was no small task and weather or not the killing she had in her he knew she did, but it was more if she could get to him. and she would ever be able to get to him like that. He would find out sooner or later, after all world will spread fast if she is susscufil in the contract. it was all jest a waiting game.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Shadowmere walked slower than halted for a moemnt though Sonja hadn't noticed and kept walking till she nealry stumbled without the support. "What are you doing? Time limit job to do yes? Now move." Shadowmere hand't hesitated for a meont in getting her to safety nor gettign hr mvoign but now the horse was simply dragging her hooves for seemignly no reason. "Solitude now! We have till ealry moring to get this done and it's not getting any earlier!" She tried gettign Shadowmere to move butthe horse woudln't. "No! You are not doing this now!" There was no way! No way would Sithis do this! He had called for theEmperors'death! Why would he than start stalling her?
"Shadowmere, listen to me," She walked up to the horse, or limped and took it's head in her hands. "we need to go. I need to get to Solitude so I can get on that ship and deliver the Empeorr to Sithis. I NEEd you to help me." She begged the horse who stared back in her eyes iwht it's own red ones. Red and red.
'What are you telling me?" She asked staring at the glwoign eyes that seemed to communicate .. somehting. Shadowmere titled her head ever so slighty to Sonja's left and the Breton just wodnered breifly unless ....
'Someone's fallowing me.'
A chill colder than any she could rember grippd her. 'I"m a ******** idiot!'

 

[anubisgirl]

' get going i know you know im here but get the listener to the job' Cicero thought. He knew the horse was smart and knew that he was around but she should know enough to keep on the job. After all he would not do anything to Sonja, she was his listner after all and he was sworn to protect her at all costs. Though that would be a lot easer if he wasent mad, atleast he wasent so mad to ware he didnt know what he was doing. It could be destracting at times yes but he learned to live with it.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Shadowmere gave a flick of her head lighlty nudgeing her nose to the side of Sonja's face indicating they had work to do. Sonja hesitated for a second before deciding she didn't have a choice if someone was fallowing her than well .. she'd handle them later. "You know what? Walking suddnely isn't workign forme we ride yes." Pulling herself up onto the saddle wtih more difficultl than she knew she should have had.
'Just get this done with any luck whoever is fallowing, or not fallowing, will know better than try anything.' Or she'd had further unfortanle luck and she'd get anbushed again. Shadowmere began her hastened trot again though sliglty faster as yes time wans't on their side. The Emperor needed to die and the only assassin cable of peforming the task was barley able to stay sitting up on her horse ...the Empeor wans't in for a quick death appanrelty.

-I might skip ahead in my next post to after she kills Tedus Mead unless you want him to pop up in yours. It's all your call-

 

[anubisgirl]

Well that was a show if Cicero ever saw one, Okay he wasent on the ship but he could hear the screams and word dose travle fast espicely with this kind of news. The listener had finished the job despite how injered she was, she was worthly indeed of the mothers favor. The Imperial stood by the black horse, knowing it was now alright to reapper. and he did need to help the listener is she so needed it.
And from the looks of the small form with whight hair crawling out of the water "Oh oh oh listener Cicero knew you were worhty to be the listener. Mother dose choose wisely to those she decides to speek to, " he said in his high pitched tone and laughed "But now that you have done the contrack...i have come to kill you, Cicero should be listener....Jest kidding oh listener you should have seen your face." he thought it was funny "Cicero is here to serve mother and the listener, jest like he always has"

 

[SinnerShadow]

Sonja actually screamed at the Jester's sudden apperance and hearing hsi voice. So much so that she acutally fell backwards into the water again which made her stare up at him with the dumbest expression on her face. "wha.." Was all she managed to get out in the whirlwind of her mind.
At the mention of him comeing to kill her she tensed than nearly fell over when he burst into hysterical laughter and giggle. She had actually forgotten she was sitting more or less chest deep in the freezing water at that point.
Than her mind began to fianly catch up with her and she fixed him with a tired yet plane expression. "So I take it you've been .. bust sense we last saw each other?" Pulling herself out of the water and though dripping wet once again she truged out onto the shore. At leastthe salt was burnign to much anymore in her wounds. She was cold she was tired and she was angery she had let MArro ecape her however, vengence would come later.
She knew she should be queshtoning if not asking how he had been able to find her but frnakly it wans't all that hard, fallowing her more than likely. "Sense your here now, you get to come with me to Whiterun to get our payment."

-If you want you can do the month skip=

 

[anubisgirl]

-a moth later-

Zev walked down the road heading to the location that he was told to meet at. Delphine said this is ware the next dragon would apper, though the woman really got on his nerves and he didnt trust her that much he knew he needed her for the time being.
That didnt mean he had to like it all that much. But he did need to do this and well he got to fight a dragon so there was that he had going for him. He had thought about asking one of his shild brothers to join him, but this he felt was more dragonborn stuff and maybe at this moment best delt with alone. But it was always boring walking on your own he almost wished that he had asked Alea or Farkas to join him. Well he wasent about to turn around and head back jest to ask now that would jest be a wast of time and he could handle this well enough, there would be other dragons they could kill after all.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Having to employ Delvin to refit the Sanctuary hadn't been as time consuming as she had thaught. She had insisted on going alone while NAxir had insisted she take osmone with her, preferably him. She insisted and evneutlaly won out on going on her own. Walking back along the road a sudden snow storm began and she was forced to pull her cloak tighter around her. Damn Skyrim wheahter! She gared as she snow at her feet as she held herself for a moent beofre wlaking frward again.
The wind picked up harshly as did the snow peling her as she drew closer to Windhelm. 'Always snowing and windy aroudn this frozen death trap.' She thaught while notign she wasn't alone on the road ahead of her. She moved to the side of the road to give the other enough room to walk past her while turning her head to the gorund to keep her face hiddenbenath her hood.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev hated this weather, atleast his armer kept some of the snow off of him but it made it heard to move. he thought about stopping setting up a camp to wait for this wind to stop but he wanted to get this done with. Though if it got worse he might have no choise but to stop. Curse this Skyrim weather and its constince snow.
He thought he saw someone walking tornds him, Anyone would have to be mad to be out in this weather but as he got closer he could see it was someone, someone small, and female. It was odd for a woman to be out on her own, it was dangerous out there once he got closer he saw she was wearing a cloke and couldent see her face, conisering the wind that was to be expected "Hey are you alright" he asked getting closer, There was no harm in asking and she might have been robed further up the rode.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Sonja halted hearing Zev's voice, no wonder she didn't reconize him he was wearign different armor, well more high end armor. "Zev?" She turned her head up to show her face. "What are you doing out here?" Well that coudl be sayign the same of her but hoenslty she hand't seen him in well over a month maybe more and well suddnely bumping into him in the middle of a desolate road? That was convient but in her new line of work such 'conviences' were never pelasent. "Okay nevermind what are you doing here than, how are you?" She correctedherself sense well she was curious about what he had been up to. The wind howled even louder than making the icy wind slice itno her body evne more so which made her hold her cloak closer to her body. "Actually what are you doign out in this whether? Also steelplate armor now? Looks good on you very fitting."
In the distnace she thaught she heard a beting of wings but over the scremaign of the wind it was hard to tell anything apart form it. The heavy sleet that was comign with it made n audable slappign sound when it connected with the ground and the trees around them. "But seriosuly Zev what in the Void are you doing out here?"
