chapter eighty nine
(3rd person pov:)
While the main group stood behind the rocks The archers were getting into position, Shadow-step, Gila, and Zed were mounted on the overhanging rocks meanwhile Severn crept in first sneaking up on the guard facing the back entrance before reaching his scaled around his neck covering his mouth before driving the edge of Mehrunes razor across this throat footing his throat wide open causing him to drop to the ground dead without making a sound before quietly creeping around using his invisibility spell that he learned he turned invisible looking for his next Target just as Gila and the other two loosed one arrow each taking out the remaining three archers that were on top of the wall leaving only the other two left plus the guards on the ground Severin made quick work the guards on the ground meanwhile The archers took out the remaining two enemy archers clearing the way and then carefully dragging their bodies and throwing them over the wall out of sight. Severin used the flat side of Mehrunes razor to reflect the moonlight back at them signaling that the coast was clear nodding Gila did the same thing using the edge of her glass bow to reflect the light back at the group hiding behind the rock. Upon seeing the light being reflected back at them the group made their way slowly towards the keep with the archers coming behind them. Once they got to the wall they split off into two group one would stay outside and would act as lookout along with killing any runners that tried to alert the Thalmor embassy of the assault. Yamma, Asadelf, Suvvan, and Gila stayed outside while the rest went inside through the front door the assault was now well and truly in full swing. As they entered the main chamber Shadow-step put the gray cowl of nocturnal on so he could determine how many warm bodies was in the room. After looking he held up two fingers and then pointed one on the left and one on the right on each side of the door both facing their direction. As both him and Severin pulled up their Nightingale bow and daedric crossbow respectively swiftly coming around the corner marking their targets and delivering lethal headshots dropping the soldier and wizard on the ground before they could even react. Quietly making that way forward walking on the front of their feet to distribute their weight more evenly and to make less noise specifically for the ones wearing heavy armor. After making their way through a few hallways they turned to a hallway that had flood of stairs going down which Shadow-step raised his hand holding up one finger pointing down and then three more fingers around the corner signaling that any noise here would attract more guards so they needed to be swift and silent. One thing that made the renegades a real force to be reckoned with was because they didn't need vocal cues to understand each other they had an entire arsenal of silent hand gestures for when stealth was an absolute priority. Severin used the invisibility spell he learned before quietly creeping his way down out of sight just as the soldier was about to turn to walk back up the stairs he was suddenly grabbed from behind as the argonian assassin put his hand over his mouth before driving the blade of woe through his third and forth making the blade go right into his lung not only preventing him from screaming and alerting the others but making sure that he drowned in his own blood before swiftly slitting his throat and leaving him dead on the ground. Severin raise his hand doing a twirling motion with his finger as the group silently made their way down Severn used the invisibility spell before creeping in the moment he slit the one soldiers throat and the other two soldiers in the room stood up from the ground they were immediately dropped by ebony arrows shot from Shadow-step's Nightingale bow and Ebon-shi's bow of shadows. The group looking back at each other giving a nod before switching up with Shadow-step and Ebon-shi taking point while Severin brought up the rear walking backwards to make sure they weren't being followed as they proceeded down the winding hallways they made sure to keep their backs to the wall and made sure to leave no stone unturned. When they came to a large room they immediately halted when Shadow-step held up his hand in a fist signaling them to stop. He held up five fingers, he pointed straight around the room where one was asleep, he pointed around the corner where one was standing by the door and then held up three fingers and pointed along the upper floor moving his hand back and forth signaling that they were patrolling. The group gave a nod to each other they knew right now stealth was a priority and drawing attention to their presence even if some of the group was outside to prevent any runners the possibility that the Thalmor here could have another way to communicate with the embassy could not be overlooked. Crouching down staying behind the wall they quietly whispered a plan to each other after the plan was discussed they spread out and prepared, both Shadow step and Severn casted invisibility spells stacked with muffled spells in order to make sure they couldn't be heard and quietly made their way up the stairs not only to block off the guards from that door by the chest, but also the silence the ones who could alert any other soldiers who could be nearby. After mentally counting to thirty to give the group a time to get ready the moment the mental thirty second countdown was up both Severin and Shadow step grabbed two of the Dominion soldiers pulling them into the hallway and slitting their throats before delivering a brutal backhanded stab into the Temple of their skulls killing them swiftly and silently just when it got the attention of the one guard who was on the upper level when he went to investigate he was immediately dropped dead from a swift silver crossbow bolt to his head from Myra's silver crossbow just as the one around the corner was about to call for backup Myra through her katana like a frisbee and embedded straight into the middle of the soldiers chest straightened in his heart causing the high elf guard to slide down the wall as his eyes were widened even in death. Once she retrieved her blades sword door to her back immediately opened up as a Thalmor wizard came out only to be swiftly decapitated by Ebon-shi using his Ebony blade the ebony katana that was in his hand seemed to glow a dark red as it fed on the blood that was on it before he swiped his blade across the ground flinging an arch of crimson across the floor. Ebon-shi walked into the bedroom where the wizard came out of and found a complete set of Her hand armor dating all the way back to the tribunal days in Morrowind.
Deciding not to leave such a rare treasure in the hands of the vile Dominion he quickly picked everything up including a ebony morning Star and made his way out. Once the group regrouped they made their way through the hallway again with Myra running forward seeing one of the guards sitting at a chair she immediately ran over before decapitating him on the spot from the room acrossed on the left hand side they could hear muffled groaning of pain signifying that's where their person of interest was now they needed to secure their escape. However when the interrogator came out to see what was going on and Myra saw his face her eyes turned dark recognizing him as the thalmar agent who executed her parents when she was little. "Boss he's mine, the rest of you go secure our escape." Myra said she charged the interrogator with her blades sword and shield drawn as the rest of the group nodded storming down the hallway butchering any Thalmor soldier that got in their way making sure none of them escaped. Myra's blade class with the interrogators ethereal sword caused from the bound sword spell. "Remember me you one-eyed fucker?" Myra shouted as the interrogator pushed back his arrogant tone full of disdain and mockery. "I've seen many pathetic humans such as yourself so I don't memorize the faces of the insignificant worms, however I do recognize blades armor when I see it why don't you surrender and I promise to Grant you a Swift death." The Interrogator sneered as he went for an overhead swing with his bound sword which Myra blocked with her shield before jabbing straight in a forward thrust cutting the interrogator across the cheek. " You think I'm a fool? You gave that same option to my parents promising them a merciful death, you burned them alive in front of the entire village of Karthwestern, I know this because I was there hiding in the basement of my families burning house. The armor I'm wearing now is my mother's my sword was one she made for me and my shield is my father's, I will never forgive the Dominion or the Silver-bloods for what they did and I won't stop until every last one of you is dead!" She shouted dropping her shield before delivering a brutal right hook across the interrogators face and bringing her sword down as he stumbled cleaving his arm clean off at the elbow and then ducked underneath the interrogators attempted counterattack cleaning her sword straight across his midsection before the interrogator dropped to the ground unable to move. " What, what is this why can't I move?!" The interrogator shouted in fury as Myra approached a smirk on her face. "You see unlike other members of the blades my sword I didn't design to kill dragons, My sword saps the stamina from my enemies and paralyzes them. You are so focused on delivering that lethal blow to me you failed to notice the enchantment taking hold of you once again you're pride is your undoing." Myra said as she watched the interrogators intestines start spilling onto the ground while reached into her bag pulling out a small vial of black substance before throwing it on the interrogator covering him head to toe with the black substance that smelled foul. "What is that, pig piss?!" He shouted out before Myra walked to one of the walls picking up one of the lit torches off of one of the mounts before approaching him. "They say burning flesh has a very distinct smell and that it's almost impossible to bare and witness but I'll do my best." She said simply before throwing the lit torch onto the interrogator setting him on fire the black substance revealing itself to be oil highly combustible inflammable the interrogators pained agonizing screams echo throughout Northwatch keep on deaf ears as Myra stood there watching her parents killer burn resisting the urge to vomit not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing her get sick. Once the screaming died down and all that could be heard was the crackling and the smell of burning flesh and leather she turned around walking into the interrogation room before finding the person of interest they were supposed to find. Hanging on the wall was the form of Thorald gray-mane he looks like he had been electrocuted so much that most of his body was charred she walked over to him using her sword she slashed him down. "Can you run?" She asked as Thorald looked up and in a weak raspy voice he spoke. "I think so, thank you more will be coming we need to get out now.." the Nord man said weekly trying to get to his feet but collapse which she immediately helped him up. Ripping off the glass armor from one of the corpses before passing it to him to put it on while grabbing a glass mace off of the weapon rack on the wall and tosses it to him which he weekly caught as he succeeded in putting the glass armor on with a look of distaste on his face not being a fan of wearing anything elven made. "You know I really don't like light armor especially something that's made by elves, it's insulting to our ancestors who fell during the Great war." Thorald said only to be backhanded by Myra "shut the fuck up, where the fucking armor and get your ass up unless you want to stay here when your friends come back I guarantee you they won't be so lenient next time you think these burns are the worst they can do to you you are sadly mistaken now shut the fuck up and get your ass moving or I'm going to kick your ass all the way out the fucking door am I clear?!" Myra shouted her usual sweet and calm demeanor fracturing as she became much more authoritative before she literally kicked him in the ass to get him to move drawing her sword off of her hip and retrieving her blades shield off of the ground by the burning remains of the interrogator as they made their way out. Passing the corpses of the remaining dead Northwatch keep guards as the cage doors were already open signifying that the other prisoners have been let out as they made their way out the front door they were met with the rest of the group quietly watching five Dominion soldiers approaching who's very presence was much unlike the others they just killed. "Boss who are they?" Myra asked as Asadelf spoke up her voice trembling. "The Thalmor elite team, The Gilded Lions!" Asadelf spoke as the group nodded "Asadelf use your gate to teleport us to Pinemoon cave quickly!" Ebon-shi urged as Thorald gray-mane ran off in the opposite direction diving into the water to swim along the coast presumably to make his way back to whiterun. However the group can focus on that right now because the moonlight that had illuminated Northwest keep and now turned red as the sight of large fireballs could be seen hurling towards them.
