A week had past. Isran was found dead near a vampire and goblin filled cave. Agmaer left the fort and has gone missing, no trace found. I stood on one of the balconies, gripping my hand on the stoned rail. "(Y/N)?" I turned to find Celann waiting for me. "The others are waiting for your command.." I nodded and made my way. As Celann said, everyone waited for me at the main level. I stood at the upper level, Celann and Serana by my side. "We have gotten more recruits today and yesterday," Celann said to me. "I want you to be in command for now," I told Celann, "I'll be heading out to find Agmaer."
"What if he's dead?"
"You'll know if I come back without him. You can give the order, I'll be gone now. If I don't come back at all within the next two month, well... I want you to take over. You take order, even if I come back after a long period of time."

Now late at night, I entered Riften. It was empty with the exception of the guards and a lingering thief. I didn't bother trying to stop the thief, as I was one myself but I haven't reported back to Brynjolf in over months. I went up to one of the guards. "Excuse me, have you seen a Dawnguard pass by here?" I asked. "Hmm. The young farmer-looking boy? Yes, he was here about three days ago, but he left yesterday." Damn. "Thank you." I walked off and sat on one of the benches. I dug my head into my hands in thought.
After a few minutes of thinking, a man, Imperial I assumed in what appeared to be a Jester outfit, ran past me. My eyes followed him. He seemed to be chasing something, I wasn't sure what though. As my eyes followed, someone tapped my shoulder. I looked up. A cloaked being stood by me. The hood prevented me to see who it was, though the eyes, which were glowing yellow within the hood, had pretty much allowed me to know that the hooded being was female. The hooded person took out a note from the cloak. The hands also let me know about my assumption. I took the note from her and read.
'I sense that you're looking for someone, someone I know. I can help you, if you let me.
I know the man you're looking for is Agmaer. Please allow me to help. My friend, the jester, and I can help you search for him.'
Just... how did she know? I looked up at her. "How did you...?" My question trailed off. "Lord Hercine has his perks," she said faintly, "...I'm looking for my husband. He's a new member of the Companions, though he left not to long ago.... I can help you find Agmaer if you let me. I can find my husband in the process." Although her voice was quiet and soft, I heard sadness in her. I nodded. "You can help."
Days, possibly weeks, passed. I discovered the 'mysterious woman' was Caitlin. She revealed to me that she was leader of the Companions and the apparent one of the Dark Brotherhood, though she rarely does any of the contracts the 'Night Mother' gives her, whoever that might be, and the crazy Jester named Cicero takes care of the Night Mother whenever Caitlin doesn't need his company. She also told me not to worry about putting her 'on edge', says she doesn't hold grudges that have her to end up killing another being and learned it from Ulfric Stormcloak. I may see why. Some of this I noted from Agmaer when I first met him. He often told me stories of her but never mentioned her by name. He always told me how lively she was, always trying to set everyone in a good mood, even at the hardest of time, especially when her then 'new' husband was around to catch the moment with her. I can see now that when he's not here, this side of her is rare for those who personally know her.
"Cicero! I told you not to go to far!" Caitlin yelled. "But Listener, Cicero is keeping a lookout!" Cicero yelled back. It seemed Cicero was about to yelled again until he shut his mouth. "Oh, Listener! Cicero has found the big wolf! He found the wolf!" Cicero happily danced, then ran over the hill. "Hold on! What do you mean?!" Caitlin hurried her horse and followed. I then followed her. By the time I got to the top of the hill, I stopped my horse. Just at the bottom, a werewolf stood over the dead corpse of a bandit that seemed to be eaten by it. Caitlin continued and it seemed as if the aura around her lightened up. She got off her horse and tackled the 6-foot wolf in a hug. "Sinding, you jerk!" I got off my horse and walked up, dragging my horse behind me. The moment they fell to the ground, the wolf transformed into a man. His eyes appeared swollen and his cheeks were wet with tears.
About a day or two later Caitlin left, leaving me alone under cloudy skies. As soon as it started to pour rain, my horse and I took refuge in a cavern filled with darkness near a small town. I didn't have enough gold septims on me to rent a room at the inn. Under the dark stormy skies, not to far from us, I saw a figure that was near —yet far from—recognition. This 'figure' was cloaked, similar to when I first met Caitlin. Yet when it came down to the only visible bottom part of this 'person's' face, it was too familiar, only difference is it being much more pale than what I remember. "H-Hello?" I called out, stuttering a bit, "i-is there any trouble?"
Then, when they took down their hood, who I saw brought back all the hope I lost in my search for him. Agmaer stood alone on the empty land getting wet from the rain. Ignore the pouring rain, my instincts instructed me to go to him and embrace him like there will be no other day left, and that I did. I wrapped my arms around him, soon letting tears run down my cheeks. "I thought we lost you... I thought I lost you," I broke out quietly. "I didn't want to hurt anyone, not even you..." he told lowly. Agmaer began to quietly sob. "Let's go back in the morning and get you fixed up."
