The small manor's windows shone light upon the dark of the night, the outline of an Elf was noticeable through the windows. Undoubtably a 'Faendel' who; my talks in Riverwood had let me know was a friend of the Dragonborn's. Killing this Elf and leaving a sign would show the Dragonborn he had an Enemy. Me.

With the draw of my blade I thrust it into the window, the glass shattering into a thousand small pieces, a quite odd looking elf jolting up and drawing his bow. With a quick reach to his quiver it was loaded, the arrow skimming past my breast as I charged toward him. As my body neared his I cried out in agony, a sharp steel arrow having pierced my left shoulder. My blade drawn I butted it against him, he quickly drawing one of his own as our swords began to clash. The dance of death was graceful and elegant yet sloppy and brutish all at once, however it did not take long for me to gain the advantage, my sword up to his throat.

"Any last words Elf?" I mumbled out, my face covered in a cloth

"Just know he'll avenge me!" He cried in agony, before his blood was spilt on the floor.

"Oh he'll try..." I murmured softly "Let him come...." I growled out alone in the manor, the place feeling so.....alone. Quickly I tore threw his belongings and took what I needed, as well as a sharp glass sword that had been in his armory. Before I left however I grabbed a sheet of paper, sloppily writing two words and leaving it on his table as I rushed off into the darkness.
