The Nightingale(Skyrim fanfic)

A Nightingale?

((7:00 pm 13th of sun's height 4e205))

I licked the blood off my sword I'm no vampire but I am a werewolf and to me blood still tasted good I sheathed my ebony sword and looked around it was a sad sight imperial soldiers dead in a pile I had to kill them to savor my hunger for flesh most of them were ripped or had their heads chopped off I shook my head and looked around Riften I had pondered a question of leaving the Theives Guild but I wasn't sure if I should since I had done so much for them to just leave would be destroying it.

But they can take care of themselves which is another argument going on in my head I looked down and saw I was breaking the wooden railing to make sure no one falls in the water I giggled a bit and walked away to go to the Theives Guild. I was wearing nightingale armor which seemed to intimidate people when I got close to them even though I was pretty small for a high elf which if someone pointed out I would put my sword to their neck.

As I thought of this I bumped into the secret entrance for the Theives Guild I shook my head and went inside and pressed the button it opened with a slight scratch on stone I went inside and through the trap door and down the ladder.

Now I know this might sound crazy but I actually like Brynyolf I don't know why but I would catch myself staring at him randomly and thinking about him which reminds me...

"Hello guildmaster" a new theif came up to me it was a nord male who didn't look like much but I knew he had a big crush on me since the day I let him be apart of the guild.

"Hello, Sover" he smiled and blushed then walked away I shook my head and went over to Brynyolf "how has the guild been going since I was gone?" He looked at me which made me blush I'm glad I had a mask on...

   "things have been running smoothly lass, but I wouldn't say the same for you" he pointed out the burns and cuts I had on the nightingale armor "eh...it's true after I left I went to go kill Alduin the world-eater" he looked shocked and I smiled "Alduin? How did you defeat him lass?" I heard as others started to gather around "well I'll tell you it all started at Helgen..."

After reenacting my whole story for the Theives Guild I was asked a bunch of questions which I answered but I hadn't exactly said I was the dragonborn for a good reason. Then a girl theif asked "but I thought only the dragonborn can defeat dragons especially Alduin?" I sighed "I am the dragonborn" she looked at me "prove it" I took off my mask and looked up "YOL...TOOR SHULL" fire came out and onto the stone ceiling everyone clapped I put my mask back on quickly to hide the scar's across one side of my face.

I walked away and went back up to Riften once I got outside I was greeted by a courier "I've been looking for you" I muttered something about shouting the courier dead "what is it?" He looked at me a bit scared "something about your inheritance I'm sorry" he gave me a letter and a package and I took it and walked away I looked at the letter first:

"Jarl Igmund
It is of great regret we inform you of Kaliah's death"

I shook my head as I read the rest saying this must be a dream I smiled there was only one way to be sure I ran to my home Honeyside and looked carefully at it "it's too big for it to not be a dream" I closed my eyes and woke up from the dream.

The first thing I did was curse myself for being in the service of so many daedric princes I got off the bed and looked around I was in Breezehome I shook my head and looked down I always slept in my armor for some strange reason.

I shook that thought from my head and went out of Breezehome and out of Whiterun I went to the stables and patted my horse on the snout.

I got on her and made her go into a slow walk I needed to clear my mind as I tried to clear my mind I wasn't paying attention to where my horse was going and she stopped and went on her hind legs which threw me off I muttered something then got up and brushed the dirt off my armor I looked at what had spooked my horse and saw a ghost horse and rider running on the path.

   I shook my head hoping this wasn't another dream sure enough I woke up again this time to see stone and I heard someone yelling my name "Drotty! Get up!" I shook my head and got up I looked around and saw I was in a cave I tried to remember when I had gone in a cave I took out my journal and looked at the quests then I found the one I was on it was about me getting rid of the Summerset Shadow's and the only person I took was...

"Oh sorry Brynyolf I just passed out" I looked at him and saw a questioning look on his face "you started to grow fur is there something wrong lass?" I looked at my armor sure enough there was fur coming out I sighed and looked at him "it's nothing let's just keep doing whatever we were doing" he nodded and I went further into the cave only to have one of the Summerset Shadows swing a sword at my head I dodged and took out my ebony sword and sliced their head off once I saw the blood and flesh my mouth started watering I shook my head and kept walking through the cave then someone slashed a sword at my leg and I yelled out in pain and a force left my mouth to push back the Summerset Shadow which killed them right away.

Brynyolf stared at me surprised my eyes started to glow not their regular color but a dragon like color then my dovah side took over and I charged into the leader Linwe's room he looked at me shocked then I shouted "YOL...TOOR SHULL" he yelled out in agony as his body was burned from the fire. My eyes stopped glowing and I leaned against the wall holding a hand on my head Brynyolf was about to ask if I was ok but I cut him off "no, I just need to be left alone" he nodded and walked away I sighed and looked at the burning body.

I wondered if I should eat him I nodded to myself and changed into my wolf form which was painful my bones twisted and reshaped themselves into that of a wolf and I grew fur I went to the body and started to eat the flesh and I ripped out the heart and ate it. I backed away and changed back which was even more painful my bones twisted and turned to reshape themselves into myself now it might sound fun to be a werewolf but it's not it's super painful. I sighed when I was done changing and started to walk away I licked my lips and smiled.
