The Immortal Assasin

Chapter 1 part 3: Moving

Digging through some old contacts, Mitabell found something that shocked her. Most of these contracts weren't by the black sacrament but by someone who had bought the brotherhood. They were nothing but a bunch of thugs at this point. Now she had to find this Maven Black-Briar and take her out. So she went around the sanctuary to see what people knew. All she learned was that she was a noble with Riften in a chokehold. She must be dealt with as soon as possible." My child, please talk to Cicero before you go. Just tell him these words. Darkness rises when silence dies. He will understand."

Mother seems more talkative, but Mitabell did as she was told." Good afternoon, keeper." She enters his bedroom." Cicero wishes an excellent afternoon to you, too." He said, asking for her to come sit with him." There is something I want to tell you. Something from Mother." His eyes lit up with joy. Mother had finally chosen someone." Darkness rises when silence dies. Mother said you would understand what it means." Without Saying a word, Cicero jumps over the table and onto Mitabell." Mother finally picked someone. Cicero is so happy. He's served Mother well." He says on top of the vampire. The impact would have indeed killed her if she were not already dead." Can you get off me now?" She pushes him off her, and he starts to dance around the room. " You are the Listener." He keeps saying over and over again. Then he kneels before her and plages his soul to serve The Dread Father, The Night Mother and now The Listener. 

A few days have passed since Cicero learned that Mitabell was The Listener, and his behaviour changed significantly. He was either at Mitabell's side or Mother's. He was following her around like a lost puppy. His world had just become whole to Cicero, and he wouldn't let anyone take it away. Arnbjorn had left the brotherhood, meaning Mitabell was one more step to freeing the brotherhood. She came out as the listener and was made the leader of the sanctuary. Everyone seems loyal for now, but only time will tell. Gabriella joined Mitabell in the map room to plan an attack." If we only Kill Maven, it won't send enough of a message. We need people to fear us and join us." Mitabell says." Let's kill all the Black-Bairs, sending Riften to a state of chaos, and if we mark the kills, then people will know it's us." Mitabell agreed but only had one problem: the thieves' guild. With Maven at the head of that, too, it puts a big target on our head." I agree, but the only problem is Astrid worked with the guild, so our position is compromised." The guild knew the location and the passcode to get to the sanctuary, so killing the Black-Biars at this point wouldn't be wise." So what do we do? All the other sanctuaries have been destroyed." That's right, there's nowhere to go, but there might be a place. " There might be a place. I used to be a noble in High Rock before I was turned. My family owned a place in Skyrim. It might be worth checking out." She pulls out a map. There is a manor on the coast by Pinefrost Tower." Only those with my blood can see it and enter. I put a spell on it long ago just in case I needed to lay low for a while." She says and shows Gabriella where it is. "I will get a carriage arranged. Tell everyone we are moving." With Mitabell's vampiric powers, she contacts her spawn to come to Falkreath to help move their stuff.

The spawn arrives with two big carriages, and everyone loads up their stuff, another for The Night Mother's coffin. Everyone gets on one of the two, and the journey begins. It should be at least a day or two, but that wasn't the least of Mitabell's concerns. The roads had become dangerous, but that shouldn't be anything a bunch of assassins should be worried about. Babette had borrowed one of Mitabell's cloaks to hide from the sun. Through day and night, they are not stopping unless they have to.

A few days passed, and they finally reached their new home. Mitabell spoke in an old vampiric language, and the ancient manor appeared. It is just as old as Mitabell herself. The spawn helped move everyone's things into the home. Miabell walks through the dark hall, directing her spawn to an alter room for The Night Mother." It may take some time, but this is your new home now." She says to Mother. Now to the matter of making the manor expressible to the others. She could enchant rings with her blood so that the manor thinks they are of her blood. First, though, she would need to find a smith to use her blood and turn them into rings. Not too many bloodsmiths are left, but she might be able to find one yet.
