That day, i was unaware of the path i was taking.
Why screaming so much dear mother ? Your dear son just practicing what you always taught him.
Yet you were screaming so much...
My dagger was planted in his skull and its ground which had given birth to me ceased to exist. It had been so easy, so simple, and so deliciously pleasant, though the smell was a bit boring to think about.
My father had a strange surprise when he got home, I tried to explain it to him, but when I saw him running towards the exit of our house, an arrow in the back of the neck had been more effective than long speeches.
The same night a man simply dressed came to visit me he announced to me solemnly that I was a harvester of life, an executioner, and that I had been noticed by his boss.
There was no question of my madness, which is a detail that I particularly liked.
I thought the brotherhood of the night was just a myth, an urban legend, but I was wrong, it existed, and represented a way of life that I had sought all my existence, the thrill of an destiny that goes out, a brotherhood, the fear of being noticed, the feeling of being able to lose your vitality at any moment.
But make no mistake, as a civil servant I delight above all in a job well done.
Monsieur Lachance (it's his name) had given me a very light blade which, according to him, could kill a target with a well-placed blow, and, to join the dark brotherhood, nothing could be simpler, I had to kill a person.
The person in question was called Syrawin, an old and mute elf, no need to ask who she was or whatever, I knew she resided in a nursing home near the border of Morrowind was good enough.
After a few hours of travel, I arrived at the "divine rest" nursing home. The irony made me smile.
It was dark, the entrance hall was dark and poorly lit, but I could see a guard with a torch approaching me, he wanted to know what I was doing here.
When I took out some gold coins, he smiled and looked more closely at the gold coins I had put in the palm of his hand.
Big mistake.
All I needed was a quick gesture to push my dagger into his throat, which had the effect of preventing him from screaming, then pulling it out and chopping off his head, before recovering my gold.
It is also from that day that I decided to act with more finesse in my way of killing, a severed and bloody head rolling on the ground is far from being aesthetic.
When I entered Syrawin's room, she looked at me strangely, but when she saw that I was locking the door, her gaze became simply superb, a mixture of fear, anger, anguish...
"-Shameless craving must have a shameful nay... "
Subsequently my attempt to lighten the atmosphere with a joke did not have the desired effect.... I need to work on my punch lines in the future.
She tried to get up, but a poison arrow grazing her face stopped her.
Indre venom, as I call it, paralyzes the whole body, but allows you to speak and breathe.
It was absolutely hilarious to watch her try to scream and then cry due to her inability to do so.
I cut her neck, let her blood bleed out, healed the wound and concealed the blood with a few basic spells.
The corpse of the guard was embarrassing, but I put it in the closet of Syrawin room, wishing the investigators good luck in interpreting this.
That same night, Lachance came back to see me, I could meet my new family in Cheydinhal, at the Black Shrine.
I was relatively well received, and I received a rather elegant ceremonial dress, although it would make it difficult for the whole world to clearly understand that I was part of the brotherhood of the night.
It was like I was starting to live.
When they asked my name, I replied that I was nobody.
A week after...
This morning, when I had just woken up, Ocheeva had come towards me with a very serious expression. Ocheeva is very predictable, when she makes this kind of face, it's because she has a contract that she considers too difficult for a simple murderer like me.
- Greetings, my brother, how are you today?
I returned his salute and asked her to come straight to the point.
- Well you see my brother, I have a contract of a rather high level you see, I thought of entrusting it to Taleandril, but she is already on something... It would be a question of executing a family of former archons living in the nearest city, Jean Traevis, Maria Traevis, and their daughter Sophia. The first two are great mages clearly above your level, the girl ran away and still lives with her "friends", the bonus would be yours if you eliminate the targets without error, witnesses and other victims.
Do you think this contract is suitable, my brother?
I smile before giving my answer.
I had, in short, quite a bit of information on the family in question, but no matter, I would investigate outside.
As I was about to leave the sanctuary, I heard a slightly annoying voice.
- Oh, my very dear brother, how are you? I'm so happy to see you, so happy you're not dead! Uh... Finally... You understand me, i guess.
Marie Antonetta whom the lord did not hesitate to provide with "feminine attributes" which does not leave indifferent , is a little too warm for my taste, but her qualities as a killer are not in question, she has a certain sense of humor which is not too unpleasant.
- What are you doing, my dear brother?
I briefly explained my contract to her, asking her to give me her opinion, she thought for a moment, then spoke.
- Be careful, brother, the Traevis are powerful mages, if you give them the chance they will kill you horribly, and that will annoy me, I will really be annoyed ! Just know that they love their daughter very much, and have been desperately looking for her since she ran away, play this card to the maximum, befriend them, and use poison... Or weapons, they're just old folks after all! Just make sure to neutralize one before killing the other... And say something like "See ya in hell", hee hee! As for the girl, do things like me, you're probably my age I guess? No? Well, you're young, rather handsome too, do I have to paint you a picture, my dearest brother? Oh, I heard she had weird tastes too, but you'll see soon enough.
I thanked her while adding that talking was not something that amused me too much during the murders, she smiled at me, then went to train, hoping that I wouldn't get burned alive.
Once arrived at the city, I knew immediately where to go, Ocheeva having given me the precise address of Mr. and Mrs. Traevis.
I knocked on the door, I heard footsteps, and a smiling old man opened it.
- Hello, sir, who are you?
I replied that I had seen their daughter around Leyawiin.
The man began to smile and cry with joy, he took me by the arm and led me inside.
- Honey, honey! This young man has found Sophie!
- Not possible!
An old wood elf woman came running, she was wearing an apron, she took me in my arms and kissed my hands several times.
They offered me to sit in an armchair in the living room and offered me a tray of various delicacies, the cup placed in front of me.
- You are our saviour, you know... we miss our daughter so much, I don't know if we were bad parents but we...
These two old men released an important magic aura, one spell, and I was finished, it would be necessary to be subtle.
I pretended to sympathize and asked them to tell me about themselves.
- My wife and I met forty-three years ago, and...
- forty-two!
- Yes, excuse me my darling, and since that day, we still love each other so much her and I...
They held hands and looked at each other lovingly.
- This girl is our whole life, you know, young man, we are eternally grateful to you.
I finished my cup of cumin tea, and asked the hostess for another cup, along with her delicious cookies.
- Do you like them? You're part of the family now... wait, I'm going to get some in the kitchen, don't you get up.
She got up smiling and frolicked to her kitchen, leaving me alone with the husband, obviously very happy and talkative.
- Tell me about yourself, my friend, what do you do for a living?
-Entertainer.
I got up quietly, grabbed a bread knife and thrust it between Jean Traevis's eyes, who didn't even have time to cry out, then I sat down again.
- Here is the tea, watch out, it's hot! John, you are all...
She looked down at her husband's carcass, then looked horrified at my smile as I cast the silencing spell on her.
As a good housewife, she hadn't dared to throw the tray she was carrying in both hands to cast a spell on me, now that she was silent, I could have a field day.
I had no idea what you could do with a fork and a pick, I hope the investigators will have a strong stomach !
I left the house quietly saying goodbye in the void, and calmly, no one had noticed me, I even discussed with a guard about a strange murder in a nursing home.
Finding Sophia was easy, all you had to do was go around the inns and pay attention to the cries of the hysterical turkey.
But she was indeed permanently surrounded by a group of friends, killing them would be simple, but it wouldn't be fun.
After a few minutes of reflection, I went to a post of the Boinoir company, mercenaries not asking too many questions.
I simply asked them to send four or five men to tickle and seduce Sophia, the price is exorbitant, but I will soon recover my investment in a practical way i dare say.
A few hours later, the five men approached Sophia as agreed, I was not far from there, ready to change the plans of the Boinoir company.
- Hi beautiful ! Drop these kids, and come with real men.
- We're not going to eat you, cutie!
It was predictable, the boys of the girl's group Traevis did not move.
- Do something guys!
- Uh... I forgot to run an errand for my family.
- Me too.
- Wait for me!
The street was deserted except for the men and the girl.
I drew my bow and solved the problem as simply as possible, one, two, three, four arrows.
Sophia looked at me, then threw herself into my arms, crying.
- Oh, thank you, thank you my hero!
Unfortunately, his friends chose this moment to return.
- Took you a long time to kill them, Dunmer.
- Now get out!
Sophia suddenly got angry, insulted them, took my hand and led me to the main street.
She spoke to me laughing about her discovery of the stupidity of her friends, of my physique, of my heroism.
I offered him something to drink to recover from his emotions.
After her fifth skouma at the bar, Sophia couldn't keep still, she yelled that she wanted a room for herself and me, then she pulled me there violently.
- *hic* I want you now!!
She took off her sweater and lay down on the bed.
- *hic* vi... come here *hic* my darling *hic*... ti... *hips* ...ie me in the bed quicklyyy!
I locked the door, and tied her to the bed with a bedroom cord, she seemed to be enjoying herself. Antonetta was right about her tastes.
- Make me boo *hips*... make me scream... take me *hic* me to seventh heaven now!
I pulled out my blade of doom silently.
Sometimes I really love my job.
