Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Or I can make myself out to be a bnashee and give him a heart attack .. tha'ts be an interesting way to kill someone." Sonja thaught allowed which made the other two women laugh. Cicero ... she coudln't ever tell if he found things genually funny or simply alughed becuase that was al he did, laugh. "Though considering I sort of screwed their beloved Emperor's cousin you'd think te private security force would tyr and .. oh I don't know hide their movemnts alittle bit more." It was more her htinkign allowed while Bebette arranged a satchel of potions for her joruney, if nothign else there was always a useful posion in the bag.
"I take it I forefit my bonus if I turn Marro into a walking undead htrall as well?" She asked snickering picutring the image in her head.
"No you may not od that Sister. You'll lose out otherwise." Gabrelle coudln't hide the humor in her voice.
"Can't blame a lady for asking."

"Vilkas isnt liek that. It's nothing to do with race he just done'st give repset out to jus tanyone. Everyoen has to work with it titles mean ntohign to him if your not one of th ecompaions actions are everythng to him. He says words are like winds to outsiders but their actions give you the real isnight into their real selves.. or somehtign liek that. He's always een good at judging people." Farkas felt twitcy being in the darkend forest. Teh air was cold and uneasy and depsite him bieng used to the cold of Skyrim this place just neve rfelt right othim even as a young pup.
"Aela and I repsect you like ya even, Vilkas will come around he just .. goes at his own pace." Zev was honroable of that Farka coudln't deny and very skilled, even more so than many seasoned warriors he had met though out his life. "Besdies if Vilkas really didn't like ya trust me you'd know." Vilaks had always been the slowest to trust out of the Circle but that was what gave him such a good outlook on people at least ot farkas anyway. "Besdies afte rhe hears how you cleaved that necromancer's head clena off his shoulders he'll like you a whole lot more."

"Charming request Keeper though I fear you would give our dear sister away." Garella spoke, oddly enouhg not entirley in a deaming way to Cicero. Thoguh with Gabrella it was often hard to tell if she was being hoenst or sarcastic. "Just remeber Sister you'll be entreily on your own for this one. Should somethig go amiss your own skills will be what saves you. Though I doubt you will find muchif any resistance."
"Assumign no one sees me kill him. I'd be poor at my job if that were the case, though preferably I"m going for a sleep kill." She had no interest in engaging Marro in front on combat she had no doubt that he would win and kill her. "So .. leave tonight for Dragonbridge and I should be able to catch and fallow him than. Sounds eay enough leas tI cna make the exucse easier wiht my horse with me." She would just pretend to be heading to the same hold he was once she found his travel shcedule that is.

"Oh that. We don't righlty care here. Sense if you ahvne't noticed life isnt' exaclyt easy or all together long here, take what you cna get kinda thing." Farkas shrugged while going threw a small stream and kicking the water off his boots when he reach the other side. "Vilkas is the better one to ask on that topic .. couple reasons but yeah." This forest always smelt like death.
"Lot of poeple experiment I guess is the word for it I havne't never really found a reason to." He admitted snese growing up it was jus him and his borhter and he dind't like anyone taking him away. "and if it makes you feel better Vilkas toned hte glares down on ya sense you havne't goen crazy form the beast blood yet."

That Night

They were headed to the Tomb of Ysgramor with the freforged weapon of Wyuthrad. It took take at least three days ride from Whiterun to the far north even with ridding hard. Though still inWhiterun hold despite them tyring to get their horses to run the beasts seemed shaken and stressed. So they were forced to go at a fast troot which didn't sit well with any fo them.
"There's blood on the wind." Aela said after sniffing lightly as her mount gave a startled whine at a distent sound. Despite her hightned sense she couldn't hear a thing. "Farmers ahve been saying their animals have been spooked of late, all of them."
"The Battle-Borns said they've lost three cows in the last week alone. Two compelty disappeared and one seemd to ahve dropped dead depsite being helahty." Vilkas had heard the reports and yes dragons about stood to reason that perhapes they had made off with the ocw. Though no one had heard it as far as he was aware.
As of late everything seemed ot be cowering form everythign ese. The howls form the wilds were different and quiter than most nights. "Gettign to quite I don't liek it." Farkas muttered while he was forced to make his own force continue forward despite the best's clear desire to run in the opposite direction. And these horses had seen battle and hardly ran.

'Get to your dmaned city already Marro I grow tired of waiting.' Sonja thaught with increassing irration fallowing, very carefully, the Penitis Oculotis agent. The man was so military brad she wanted to vomit, hell she'd prefer Whiterun if it was possible though sadly it seemed that wouldnt' be the case. Naturally covered and concealed her horse walked at a careful pace far enough behind the man to where he woudl think he only a traveler. 'Your headig to Windhelm so am I. Just hurry it up already.' Her inpatience needed to be kept in check yes she could kill him now without worry but where was the fun in that?

"Dragons, Dark Brotherhood, end of the world just me or are things getting alittle to exciting?" Farkas asked after finally gettignhis horse going forward again.
"And here Brother I thaught you'd be all excited about all these happening." Vilkas smirked at his brother wiht a small laugh.
"I have my limits." Farkas shot back while listneing to a far off howl, that sounded more like a death howl than a call to the pack.
"Teh Dragons cna't be disputed and considered myth considering Helgan. The dark Brotherhood well .. they havne't exalcyt been doing very well the last sevrle years. If we're lucky theyll all be whipped out son." Aela commented as they rode. "Though there are speculations about the wedding you three attended people are conviced it's them. Persoanlly I have no reason to say it isn't but they havnet tired anythign big for as longas I can remeber."

She was convicned Marro and his horse wer taking their sweet time. The agents white stallion was a beacon int he dark and was going at such an annoying pace she was tempted to shot the beast to make somehtign happen. She wondered if she would still get credit if somethign came form the wilds and killed him.
Best not to test her luck.
"At the speed your going I'll be dead by the time we reach Windhel ugh." Her gray mare sensing her annoyance flicked her ears and continued wlaking at the strianed slow pace.

"The storys and legends say that's what the Dragonborn is supposed ot do in order to leanr how to fully use their power." Vilkas said as a light rain began to trickle down on them, becuase that was exaclty what they needed now heading to the most norhten part of the provicdence. "Besdies if this is really the beginning of the end I'd rather be fightening than coering in some hole somwhere. Go see them."
"You'v ekilled like what? Two already? Samethign happened both times why not go?" Farkas added in sense the secodn time they had all seen what ahppened, and form the sotrys of their childhoods they knew what that meant. "And if a dragon is here to eat the world I'd think anyone would want to stop him."

'Great.' Rain of course it had to bloody rain! "Marro I am so tempted to slit your damned throat here and now if you don't move!" She cursed under her breaht as the loud roar of thunder was heard and sharp gust of wind as well. At least the furt clock she wore was thick and wamr enough for the time being, also helped ot conceal her armor as well. The ground was slowly turning muddy as the rain begna getting thicker and thicker to the point where she wanted ot thow her knife at the man many yards ahead of her and be done with it.

"Hate traveling this far north." Farkas muttered as the group was huddled around the fire their current hold out more than enough to keep the widns off them. Everything north of Whiterun in Farkas's mind was far to windy for him, and he was born in the cold of winter for Divine's sake!
"The tombs up near Winterhold you think this is cold and windy? Wait till we're up there going threw the forzen wastes." Vilkas muttered under his breath while shaking the forst off himself. The fire kept the cold at bay and yes htough he was a Nord he wasn't bloody immune to cold. "Relaze though Brother week at most we'll be traveling though with how this whether is going it'll take a week to get there."
"Some larger game would be preferable over these scraps." Aela muttered as she chewed on some slated meat htey bruaght with them. She codl hunt as well in the blinding snows but thaught better of it, better to not risk the blood attracting unwanted company.

Sonja was on the verge of missing company anyone's company in fact. She'd take Cicero's nonstop chatter if only to entertian herself till the oaf in front of her got to his desitnation.She wished he had stopped in Whiterun but appanrlty his schedule witch she had stolen sai he was checking that city on the return trip, better to throw off pursuers. "Not good enough though."
The emperor's life required that this man's sould be sent to the Void, Sonja had every intention of delivering it to the Dread Lord persoanlly .... now if only he'd hurry up!

"Well whenever you eat certian vegetables you get sick." Farkas threw back at his brother as the two seemed to have gotten into a borhterly dispute about something. "And you chocking on the chicken bone WAS funny!"
"Because I was so haertfelt to find my own borther snuck a bone into my soup that nealry killed me!" Vilkas threw back, yes it had been years ago but Farkas seemed ot love reminding him of that litlte mess up. "At leas tyou knew how to get it out without killing me."
"What you told me hitting someone never saved them. I kept hitting you in the back till you threw it up. See? Hitting saved you." Farkas snorted while going back to chewing his cold salted meat .. what he wouldn't give for some warm meat regardless of the source.
"I swear you look for any excuse to hit me with somehting it seems." Vilkas sighed but foudn his own food sustainable for the moemnt. Though nothing was making the sittion any easier on any of them. Curgn Kodlak yes that was the plan than what? They had no Harbinger nor a full Circle anymore. 'All becuase this one didn't have the balls to stay put.' He threw an icy glare in Zev's direction and breifly wondered what his Brother saw in the Coward to warrent him tot rust him. ' Farkas always trusted far to easily. If I wans't wathcing his back as pups he'd problay would have walked off wiht a Necormancer thinking it wa s fairy ... Talos I hope not though.'
"I'm surprised that's even still drinkable." Aela commente dseeing Zev's drink. All their drink along with their horses had to be cored and kept warm least they freeze to death and became solid. Dead horses menat meat but also meant walking the whole bloody way to the tomb and back again.

Vilkas wans't in the right state of mind majority of the trip and he knew it. He was angery at well nealry everything, except his brother never at his brother. "I'm not going." He said suddnely which made Farkas stare at him as if he were mad, perhapes he was. "I don't .. I don't feel right going in. I don't regret avenging Kodlak but vengence never helps, it ruins. I let it contorl me and I dont' feel right entering the tomb." He wans't proud.
"Brother," Farkas began seemign to be nealry distraught at the idea of being sepreated form him.
"No Farks I am doing this becuas eI must. At this time .. no I cannot enter. It woudlnt be wise. But you go ahead and give Kodlak the death and end he wished. And give my regards to Ysgramor while your in there." Vilkas was speaking turthly he felt worng and angery, and now looking back on it shamed. Shamed that his emotions had contorled him so uttelry for so long.
"Your sure? Kodlak would understand and .. he'd want to see us all one last itme I'm certain." Aela offered but she understnad Vilka's reaosnings. Vilaks stirved to be the reaosnable one while his brother the brash one, both ahd been brahs the last few months.
"Aye I'm sure.And you," He said looking at Zev. "My brother had better return when this is done .. or I'll slit your throat."
"Always a chamrer Vilkas." Aela gave a cold smrk.
