Sweet Sanity

Sweet Sanity Chapter #4

    I start to approach falkreath, but then I spot Cicero's carriage. I quickly hide behind a very thick tree. It was hard to look at him. It seemed he had broken my heart, by not being the person I thought he was. He didn't look how he looked when we were together. His eye's were drained and no longer tinted with an amber glow, they seemed to be grey. The corners of his mouth however hung high. He was acting like he wasn't fazed at all. Perhaps that's how he deals with tough situations.

Stranger then all of this though, he didn't go into Falkreath. No. He went down a different path. I knew that falkreath was known for their large cemetery, but he wasn't heading that way. Where was he going? His mother needed a resting place, that's what this was all about. I guess my curiosity took over, I slowly followed behind him being very careful to make zero noise.

He went down a path which looked like a dead end. All that I could see was a dead end with a disgusting shallow pool of water that looked completely black.

He hopped off his seat and went to one of the side's of the carriage. He stroked the box that held his mother. He looked very worried, but also a bit relieved.

" Here it is sweet mother, Our new home. I hope you love it. It took an awful lot to get us here. I bet Corrina would have loved to meet you. Ha, for a second there it looked like she might have been the listener. That would have been grand. Well, I'll head in and get help...I can't lift you on my own." He says to his "Mother".

What was he doing? What was he saying? None of this made sense. Listener? He thought I was something called the Listener? None of the conclusions I made up in my head made any sense.

He walked away from the cargo and it looked like he walked into a wall. It was just my angle though. I made my way over there to get a better look. It looked like he went through a black door with a skull on it. Was this the hall of the dead? No. That was in the city. Did he pay money for a special resting place? What the hell was going on?

I heard the door ask a question, which was added to the list of things that didn't make any sense.

" What is the music of life..." The door slurred out with a terrifying voice.

" Silence my brother." He said replied back to this magical door.

" Welcome Home" It said to him.

The door creaked open. Cicero skipped inside. I was stunned. This...this was NOT normal. My whole brain went dumb. Every rational thought that I possessed was now gone. I couldn't think of one thing that would explain this.

I waited for someone to come back out. So they did. Cicero walked out of the creepy door with three other men.

A giant nord looking man with white hair, and no shoes.

A argonian.

And an older looking man, he was wearing different clothing than the other two.

" Right so how do we move this...Thing?" The stronger man with white hair said to the three others.

" Oh well that " Thing" Is our mother, our sweet night mother. We have to be very careful, she's an old woman hehe." Cicero says to the big man. The big man doesn't seem to like Cicero. Actually, he looks disgusted by him.

" Right then I'll slid it out the back, and you three can each take a side." The argonian says.

Night Mother? All of their mothers? Surely none of them were related. How was this all of their mothers?

" Ohh yes, brilliant idea. You men our sure to win our Matron's favor."

They make their way back to the carriage. I wanted to continue watching them so I tried to move. But I stepped on dead leaves, they made a loud crunch and the older man looked over to where I was. I quickly ducked down before he could see me.
