And all that s**t.

Sinner's Group:
Sonja
Albino Breton form high Rock. Primarly uses Stealth as main combat weapon abilities also in magic, Conjuration. Comes across as someitmes cold, rude and heartless. Cold in the matter of self protection though has a tendancy to push her own luck at times.

Farkas
Nonr Warrior. Member of the Companions inner cicle and a werewolf. Heavy armor and wapon considers hitting rahter than talking.

Vilkas
Nord warrior. Member of the Companions inner Circle werewolf. Heavy armor sword and shield. More inquisitive of than his brother Vilkas. MAssive trust isses often appears cold and distent.

Garreth
Nord hunter and werewolf. Gareth came to Skyrim for a unknown reason other than claiming to find better hutning grounds. Sarcastic, cocky and ultimatly wild both in attitude and apperance he at times considered more toruble than he is worht, even to his allies but evne more so to his enimys.

Ahzidal
"... the elves had sacked the city, and all that lived there were dead and gone. Amid the ashes, in the smoldering ruins of his home, he swore a terrible oath of vengeance. And from that comes the name the legends gave him: Ahzidal, the embittered destroyer."
―Halund Greycloak[src]
The man that would become Ahzidal grew up in the first Nordic city of Saarthal during the late Merethic Era. As a child, it was clear to his tutors he had an aptitude for magic and because of it he was mistreated by his peers. As he grew, his skill vastly surpassed that of his kind. With nothing more to learn in Saarthal, he left his wife and child to train under the elven masters.[1]

He returned to Saarthal several years later, only to find his hometown had been sacked by the native Snow Elves who had lived in peace with his kind for many years. Enraged, he took the name Ahzidal meaning the "embittered destroyer" and swore revenge against them.

Years passed and Ahzidal traveled the land and studied deeper into the arcane arts, biding his time. From the Dwemer, he learned the seven natures of metal and how to harmonize them. From the Ayleids, the ancient runes and dawn-magic. He sought out knowledge from the Snow Elves, Chimer, and Altmer, taking what he could from each, all the while plotting how he might turn that knowledge against them.

When he heard that Ysgramor had arrived from Atmora seeking revenge for the sack of Saarthal, Ahzidal offered his services to his army. Imbued with the magical powers Ahzidal had given them, Ysgramor's army decimated the Snow Elves and the oath of the "embittered destroyer" was finally fulfilled.

However, in his lust for knowledge and power, Ahzidal had become corrupted, eventually falling into madness with his obsession. Not satisfied with the knowledge of man and mer, he sought out the secrets of dragon-runes, which eventually led him to join the ranks of the dragon priests. Even this was not enough, though, and eventually Ahzidal turned his focus to the planes of Oblivion.

In his lust for power and knowledge Ahzidal finally lost himself, falling victim to his own pursuit of perfection. Eventually, he fled to Solstheim and was sealed in the depths of Kolbjorn Barrow, together with the last of his relics.[3]

Sonja had found SKyrim to be frightfully cold when she had first arrived, Windhelm had not only renforced that thaught but had amplified her defenition of cold. Her clock and leatherrs weren't helping in keeping her warm at all glancing at Zev nexted ot her he was as cold as her.
Was that frost in his stubble... Gods above it was'
The walk from the stables outside the city to the gates felt like they were goign threw a blizzard, hard ot belive THIS was a GOOD day! What in the name of the Void was a bad day than? "Riften would be more preferable you know." She muttered not really tryign to strike up a conversation with him at the moemnt. Though the Rift was controled by the Stormcloacks Zev had been insistent that they stop here for the night if only to escape the cold.
Why coudnt' they go to the Inn just down the road a mile or so away than?
Oh right Zev had developed a phobia of traveling at night recently.
The gaurd gave them less than welcomign glares which didn't surpise ehtier of them. Windhelm was famous for it's xenophobic nature.
Though her hands were gloved and havign pulled the frotn of her clock around her face to keep her face warm it was mking no differance. She was surprised that Zev hadn't froze in his armor as she was convinced she saw peices of frost falling off it everytime he took a step.
"Aren't they welcoming." Sarcasim was etched into her voice as they passed intot eh city to behold .. even more Gods forsaken cold wind and snow. "I'm hating htis city already."

 

[anubisgirl]

It was officel, in Zevs mind the Gods themselfs were trying to make this place a frozen wastland devoide of all life that could possably live there. The cave bear pelt he currently had on wasent helping much ether. A nice night at an in and a clean shave would probely help calm his nervs a lot. Though He would Agree that he wished there were, friendler in this city. "I dont exactly want to be robed" he argued about the hole Riften thing, Though it would be a little warmer there, The other reasion was beause it was getting dark out.
Now a few moths ago, that wouldent have been a big deal for Zev, No he had travled at night many times. But as of right now he knew that it was not safe for him to be out at night. He had liked the Companions to, a guild ware you could get honor threw fighting. Growing up something like that seemed so far away. He had liked most of the people there to, true they treated him lower than a mudcrab but he was the new guy, that was to be expected.
What he didnt expect was that he would have ended up locking himself inside a cage and finding out that the inner cercial of the Companions were werewolfs.
Rightfuly so he had run, and he was still tecanly running. He knew that they would come after him and most likely kill him. So he kept moving, didnt go out at night if he could, and tendted to draw his sword whenever he hurd a wolf anyware. Ofcorse he haddent told anyone, He was already in trouble he didnt want to add to that list.
"Its only for a day at the most Sonja, jest to rest and stalk up" he said. "Though...I would have to agree with you about heating it here" He jest wanted to find the in and rent a room

 

[SinnerShadow]

Pushing the door to the Inn open and feeling the warmth wash over their bones made boht visibally relax. The women at the coutner gave them both a unfriendly grimace, even the Inn Keepers it seemed were Xenophobic.
"I turst you two ain't ganna break nothin'." The women asked with her arms crossed and givign Sonja a weary look. She was used ot the odd looks that tended happen whenver someone looked apon her. Despite itmakign her feel like a pinned insect under scruityny she didn't let it bother as much as it had when she was a child.
"No." Was all she gave Nord while fixing the women with an equally unfriendly glare.
"Ain't stelaing ntohing than etheir?" She asked.
"No."
"You want ale or mead than?" Se wasnt hiding the fact she would prefer not talking to them.
"Room. One night that's it." Sonja had to remind herself at times not to reach over the coutner and smack the women's teeth out of her mouth.
"Twenty gold than." And clealry the women decided to charge them double tha normal price evne more of a reason Sonja wanted to ring her neck.
"..Fine." Zev should be thankful that she wanted to get into a room away form these people rahter than fight with a racist b***h of a Nord. The owmen's constnet glanceing between them was making the Breton grow incressingly annoyed.
The room was small and with one bed, great. Least it was a room. "You know with how often we end up havign to share beds at Inn's I'm startign to belive people's first assumtions of us." It was more a off hand comment as she removed the black cloack from her head and shoulders. Snow sprinkled the floor aorund her and began melting into water fromt he fire. "You sure your armor hasn't frozen itself onto you?" She asked looking over at him.

 

[anubisgirl]

Sonja wasent alone, Zev wanted to hit this woman as well. And they lost twenty septioms, much more than needed to be spent but at the moment a warm room would not be argued with. Though the fact that there was one bed and it was getting more and more commen was not something he was happy about "Why is it more and more inkeepers seem to asume were married" he asked as he let the pelt drop to the floor next to the bed. "Well looks like its the floor for me again" He may not like women in that way, but when you had three older sisters and a strong willed mother you learn not to disrespect women. That ment letting them have the bed in situations like this.
"And no my armor isent frozen" Well it wasent yet, All the same he took off the heaver parts to let them get warmed by the fire and he shook the bits of frost from his hair and stuble having it melt almost instently. "You want something warm to eat. I have some Horker we could cook and split for the night" He offered. It would be the last of there food and something warm sounded good. He would have bought some mead to but that inkeeper would probely charge more than its worth for them. "You know you would think that these Nords would be a little more worried about the dragons" Apperntly he was wrong about that. Well atleast wong about the ones in this city, atleast the Jarl in wightrun was worried enought to sent some guards to the villages in his hold for extra deffence.
And weather or not Sonja wanted anything to eat or not it didnt madder, He got out the horker and threw it on the spit over the fire to cook, He wasent the best cook ever, infact he was horred at it but letting some meat cook with no seasions was not that heard to do. He ran his hand over his chin and let a low grown out "Hey how sharp is your dagger, I could use a good shave" He had one but it was rather dull at this point, he would have to sharpen it when he has a chance. And trying to shave with a greatSword was never a good idea.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Least you admit it this time." Sonja reached to her side and pulled her dagger from it's sheathe. "It's extra sharp don't nick yourself this time." She had offered to help him wtht his shaving in the beginning but Zev always seemed off put about the idea of her holding a dagger that close to his thraot for some reason. "Almost a shame to see the last of our food go but I'm going to guess the food in this city is as cold and tasteless as the people." The few herbs and such she had collected into her poutch she checked ot make sure none had been ruined by the moister or cold, fortuantly they were all still usable.
"Zev if we're going to be ridding all day tomorrow I'd rather not have one of us sore and stiff. You take half the bed and I'll take the other half, not liek I take much room anyway." When they fist decided to adventure out together they had shared bed's in Inns, nothing happened between them of course, but Zev had appanrelty foud it unconfrotnable for whatever reason.
His taste in bed partners didn't bother her.
"Also if they decide to kill us in the middle of the night your body will block any sight of mine out and they'll go for you instead." Sitting cross legged ont he floor next to him both trying to warm themselves she removed her gloves to get feeling in her fingers again. Her white skin glowed an eerie glow int he firelight whiel she flexed her fingers to get feelign in them.

 

[anubisgirl]

"Im not going to ask why its extra sharp" Zev wasent one for sneeking up behind someone and stabbing them in th back. That was jest no fun in his mind. He liked to look who ever he was fighting in the eyes and come at them full force. Atleast that way they knew they would die. He took the dagger from her and rolled his eyes "Im more worryed about you nicking me" He would not put that past her, After all how much could you really trust someone that used stelth and magic. Oh Magic itself was not really a bad thing but when people lie Sonja used it well he jest didnt trust her. But yet here they were. He guessed it was better to be killed by her then by wolfs.
He started running the sharp end of the dagger over his stubble, cutting it off and letting it fall to the floor. Well that would be something for that inkeeper to clean up they never said that they wouldent leave a mess. "your generactiy never seases to amaze me my dear Sonja" he said sarcastecly, Ofcorse she would use him as a sheld. "Hows our medical herb supply" he asked her "We could run and see if theres any place that will give us a good deal on some supplies tomarow." Since they didnt have anything and they didnt always catch anything while hunting.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"We have enough ingridents for a few potions but for nothign major. I can make a run for the apothecary while you tidy up if you like." She offered while shakingoff the sitll clinging clumbs of melting ice from her leathers and fabrics. "It's just down the ways in the main squar I shouldnt be more than ten minutes." Thinking more on it ti woudl be more advisable to stock up while they could.
"You keep shaving, you need it your growing a mane on your face." She told him when he attemtped to give her the dagger again. "Small level conjuration can handel anytign anyoen in this city can throw at me no worries." Hopefully the Alchemist woudnt' over charge her as the Inn Keeper had. "Back in a moment." She said pulling her clock on again depsite it still not being dry and headed out.
Giving space between them was neeeded at times there was only so much the two coudl handel of each other before temptrs started flaring. It was dark when she stepped out into the cold again the lights in Skyrim's sky greated her, the one thing she foudn she liked about the place.
Gaurds and townsfolk gave her odd looks as she made her way to the square and to the alchemy shop.

 

[anubisgirl]

"Dont do anything youll regreat on the way" Zev said. more meaning that he hoped she didnt kill anyone on her way there. He would not put it past her. After she left he got the last of his stubble off, Some men liked a little stubble on them but he found it jest got itchy and was heard to keep a beard clean so he liked getting it off as soon as he could. Now this didnt mean that he didnt like a little stuble on other men, oh no given the right guy it looked very good. He found that a lot of Norn men looked good with a little stuble on them. Not that he would ever say that out loud, He learned at a young age to keep the fact that he liked men to himself. He didnt want to die because of something silly like that after all.
Setting the knife on the stand by the bed he pulled the bear pelt closer to the fire to help it dry. Another reasion he had it was because he hoped it would mask his sent at least a little. Watching the meat he took it of so it was only a little burnt at the ends, Like he said he never was good with cooking.
He left half on a plate for Sonja when she got back and started eating, while he was doing so he listened to the gossip going on outside. There was nothing else really to do so he might as well see if there was any kinds of leads going on. He tuned into what he guessed were two guards talking. Something about a string of murders was going on. Women were being killed, He was worried about Sonja, He guessed that it was Norn women being killed by the sounds of it though, and one jest happened so there shouldent be two in one night. Still it was unsettling to say the least.

 

[SinnerShadow]

The Alchemist was fortuanlty non-prejudice to non Nords, thank the Gods for her coin purse. The walk back was more or less unevnetuful though she had to be honest these people had the weirdest town gossip she had ever heard.
"-trying to contact the Dark Brotherhood."
She glanced over hearing well THAT. There were always whispered tales of the Brotherhood of course but you didnt' need to be a town iddiot to know that they werent' eaclty at their origonal level of fear and respect these days.
"I'll invite him out to play he lives right over there!"
'Appanrlety kids are allowed to paly in the dead of night here. Explains why there all deaft in the head than.' The boy speaking sounded more defient of thewarnign hsi nanny was giving him. No surpise boys were always unrully at such ages.
"That boy and that house are cursed! I will hear no more of it! I am the only friend you need let us be off." The dark elf women clealr didnt' want to be there spekaign of such dark things.
It took Sonja a moemnt to realize what she had over heard. 'A child wants to contact the Brotherhood? What poor b*****d got on his bad side?' She thaught ondering about it. Such thaughts though needed to be stowed away she needed to get back to Zev witht eh herbs she had gotten least he think she got nabbed in the night.

 

[anubisgirl]

It seems this city has more problums than Zev first thought. and It really did say something about Ulfric if he dose nothing about the people in his own city getting murderd. thic headed powerhungry coward. Zev was running yes but he would still stand and fight and do what ever it took to find out who was killing his people.
"this is the third girl thats been killed, I dont even want to go out at night anymore" he overhurd a girl say, He really couldent blame her given what he hurd.
"how do we know its not the dark brotherhood, i hurd that aventis boy is trying to get in contact with them" he hurd another say. Well this was jest great, warewolfs dragons and now the dark brotherhood. He may be scared of werewolfs but he would rather try his luck with those then the brotherhood. He ofcorse had heard storys about them, everyone has, and he knew that they were deadly. and he could also see why some people would put the two togather. from the storys the brotherhood are death incarnet. He was getting worried now about Sonja, Its been to long in his mind. He wondered ware she could be, Or if she ran into trouble. He always did worry about her out alone in a city, for more than a few reasions. He knew that a drunken guy seeing a woman, espicely as small as she was, tended to jest want one thing, and with these rumers he hurd he was getting even more worried.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Her caution had ridden over her curiosity, fortunalty, as she made her way inside the Inn and back to the room. Creaking the door as it opened she noted the small cooked meat. "I take it you've been hearing things?" She asked at his worried and than relaived expression. "The Alchemist belive it or not gave me a discount for these," She said putting the varies vials and pouthcs ont eh bed. "he said somehting along the lines of 'a pretty women shouldn't be charged extra for protection'." The boy at the counter had evne insisted she take a few extra vils of Nightshade extract and despite herself feeling somewhat annoyed at being assumed weak she wouldn't turn down a properly made poisen.
"Also this city is cursed I"m conviced of it. I mean you got almost ritualistic killing almos ton clock work here and rumors of the Dark Brotherhood. What other hold has this seriously?" She was more speakign to herself at the shere madness of it all. "Oh and before you start you know thinking anythig wierd about this," She said rumaging threw the poutch and came up with a small blueish white viel. "'Potion of Cold Resistenss' as they call it. The kid said it works great for warmign the muscles and keeping the frost at bay." She traded the potion for her dagger.
'Rumors start all the time about the Brotherhood not all true. This Aventius boy is no different.' She told herself wondering breifly why her mind kept going back to it. If a twelve year old wanted someone dead than good for him! Kil whoever it is and get the reputation to have no one cross you at a young age.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev was glad that she was alright. And they had some potions with them now. Puting some poision on his blade should help out a lot when facing bandits on the road. "Iv hurd people talking, the women seem scared, Well the Norn women anyway" he said "Saved you some meat" He indecated the bit he cooked, it wasent much but it should last the night any way. But they were out of food now officely and that ment that they would have to get something before leaving. "Also it seems people are starting to think the brotherhood have something to do with the murders. Like some kind of worning" though he could see why some people would want some one dead, depending on what went on between the two people.
"Please tell me you got two of those" He could realy use a resist cold potion right now. With all that was going on apperntly it would be better to get out of there as soon as they could. He acctuly planed on going to the gray quarter in the morrning to get some things. He figured that he would have a better chance with the Dark Elfs then he would with the nords. "Though....if the rumers are true....its a little disterbing to think someone so young is going down such a dark path"

 

[SinnerShadow]

Next Morning

Sonja woke before the sun had fully peeked over the horizen. Zev had sitll been snoring lighlty when she got up and equiped her dagger. These rumors were silly, foolish even. She knew by all sentiment she shouldn't even care more so about some boy tyring to get ahold of a group of assassins. Yet the curiosity was bitting away at her like a sharp knife in the night.
'I'll .. just poke around. See what it's all about and than .. just go on with myt life.' She thaught as she slipped outside the Inn though it hardly amttered what time anyone came or went when it came to Inns and taverns. By pure heresay and easedroppign she over heard where the Ariteno boy lived, two streets over from the Inn itself. Perfect she coudl be in and out wiht her curiosity sated and back before Zev woke up.
There were a few drunks lumbering around the streets but that was harldy anythign knew and she made sure to keep out of their line of sight. Of course once she was on the street she came to the relization she hadn't a clue of WHICH house she needed to look at. "Great." She muttered as she walked down the dark walkway. Severle houses down and still she wans't sure where she was initially going until she halted suddenly. Glancing up at home in fornt of her she noticed some lights glowing threw the windows but that was hardly unoridinary. Glancing back and forht down the street making sure no one was aorund she pressed her ear to the door and hoped to hear somehting.
...... There were muffles if she could guess at best.
She was about ready to step back and leae and feelign foolish in the process when somehting odd cuaght her ear.
"... -mumble- Mother ...-mumlbe- ... child unto...-mumble."
That .. was somewhat disconcerning. 'Kids prayign for his mother whatever nothign odd.' Her hands were on her lockpicks before she was fully aware of what she was doing.
"Just a peek." She muttered as she fiddled with the lock till it popped open and she slipped insdie the dark home.

 

[anubisgirl]

"...baptize the sins of the unworthy..." They young child kept going on, stabing at what was nothing more than a skeltian surrounded by candles. It was ovesaly there a long time, and jest anyone who hurd the boy could tell that he was repeating this for a very long time. longer than most would have. Well that was until he noticed that someone was there. "I-it worked it acctuly worked your here" Avintes said looking at the woman. Ovesly it had worked in his mind "and now that your here you can accpt my contract" He said exictedly about it, after all he preformed the black Sacrament and now there was someone he thought was in the dark brotherhood there to take the contract.
