The Dark Brotherhood [ON HOLD]

The Lunatic

"Hehe he. Oh lonely Cicero thinks he and the Mother will be just absolutely fine here! And Cicero must agree you have such nice skin, to hide under Shrouded Armor..." the man said in a high pitched voice. He was rather short, wearing a jester's clothes.
The blonde woman was rather annoyed at his weird way of talk.
"Flattery won't make me like you. There's a chamber ready for the Night Mother and her keeper." Astrid snapped.
Cicero carried the Mother's coffin into the room where Astrid pointed. Arnbjorn stood beside Astrid "Is that the keeper? He seems a little crazy..." He commented. Astrid was just about to answer when Cicero interuppted. "He he he. Crazy? Cicero? That's madness!" Then he laughed. Neither Arnbjorn or Astrid could understand why he laughed, but they sure believed he was insane.
Astrid turned to go "Keep an eye on him. The last thing we need is a homicidal lunatic running around ruining our master plan."  She whispered to Arnbjorn.
"Enough for being careful but I really don't think he's a threat to us."  Arnbjorn said. "If there's something I've learned, it is to never jump to conclusions and never underestimate someone." Astrid said with poison in her voice.  Arnbjorn looked down "I'll watch him" he said with a low voice.

Afternoon tuned to evening and darkness was slowly spreading across the vast landscape. Shadows grew and turned to a deep blue. The moon was the only source of light and its silverish shine enlightened the night.
General Tullius and Lydia had already gotten to Morthal, on their way to Solitude. They had met with some Stormcloaks along the way, who now lay dead.
The General urged them forward, early in the morning and late at night, determined to arrive in Solitude as soon as possible.

It had been two days since Maro caught Rhila in her membership of the guild.
She had sent a letter to Brynjolf asking him to cover for her.
Brynjolf,
I need to ask a favor of you.
If Commander Maro of the Penitus Oculatus wonders about my membership in the guild, just say I'm a member who doesn't bring much coin to the guild.
I would be the most grateful, and you would keep your head. When you're done reading - burn the letter.
Hail sithis, Friend.
Rhila enjoyed threatening people, it made her feel powerful.
Over the days passed she had been planning the ambush with Maro and was going to take them to Astrid that evening.
Rhila has made copies and brought them with her when she went to Katla's farm.
It took long before Astrid showed and when she did, she wasn't the nicest.
She barely greeted Rhila, took the plans from her hands and was on her way.
"Trouble in the Sanctuary. That lunatic stabbed Veezara and went to Dawnstar. Gotta go." Astrid said in hast before she mounted Shadowmere and galloped off.
Rhila blinked at Astrid's shape disappearing in the shadows. What just happened? She thought. Out of the blue she saddled a stolen horse and rode to Dawnstar, certain that it was where Astrid was going.
