Julia's Final Fan Fiction

This is my first fan fiction. Hope you guys enjoy reading :)

I don’t own Skyrim or The Elder scrolls

I returned back to the guild to get my reward after successfully completing the Nazir’s contract.

As I walked down on the stairs, Astrid was standing besides the stone table as usual. She seemed quite concerned about the new problem happening around the guild, the Night mother’s listener.

“Ah…now you’re back…This is going to be a long conversation”

“This isn’t just about the Night Mother; I don’t know what she is up to about the guild. However I sense that this opportunity will grant us the honor and glory which the clan hasn’t had for centuries. But don’t misunderstand; I am still the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. You are going to start working on Night Mother’s plan and also you must work under my command as well.”

“Understood”

Astrid became more confident than before the conversation.

“Good! Then let me get to the main point. I want you to do something for the guild. There is a public wedding held in the castle of Solitude. I want you to go there and assassinate Victoria Vicci, the Emperor’s cousin. I will give you a bonus cut if you succeed to kill Victoria during her public speech on the balcony.”

I remained silence.

“It would be a lovely affair. You’ll mingle with some guests, eat some cakes…stab the bride…and they will say the romance is dead”

This is going to be a great chance to nail my name in the guild.

“As you wish”

As soon as I arrived to the castle of Solitude, I could hear loud noises coming out from the Temple of the Divines. I walked towards to the crowd, kept an eye on their movements. I could clearly notice two guards standing on the left gate. I looked around the place and carefully started to choose a best spot to kill her. The small lookout on the left rear wall of the castle caught my eyes. That place would be the best place to aim her with my bow and escape after the assassination.

I moved quietly among the crowds and entered the door. As I got to the top of the stairs, there were few arrows and an archery potion under my foot.

I sat down, drank the bottle of potion, took out my bow, and pulled the string

The bride and the groom entered the door that leads to the balcony. They came out of the other door and stood on the balcony.

“My husband Aesgir and I give thanks to you for participating our wedding. We appreciate your love to us”

I slowly aimed to her neck. But I was afraid to shoot; the place where I was hiding was directly opposite side of the balcony. If I shoot her, the groom will notice me

As I was hesitating to shoot because of my cover, she finished her speech and both the bride and the groom went down.

I lost my chance to earn the bonus but I know my own safety is worth more than the bonus.

As they returned back to the seat, I knew that this is going to be the last chance.

I pulled my arrow, aimed towards her neck and patiently waited until she sat still.

My heart was bumping fast like a Dwarven Pumps

Patience is the best weapon I reminded myself

I finally let the arrow go. A deadly shot hit the target. I killed with one shot

Her body fell down to the ground. The crowd started panicking.

It was lucky that I’ve killed her with one shot but there’s no time to enjoy the mood. If I don’t hurry myself it would be a meaningless victory.

“Victoria! No!”

The groom cried out

“The bride has been murdered!”

“Somebody help!”

The crowds went mad and they started to search the assassin. I had to find the way out before I get caught by guard.

Suddenly, I heard someone’s footstep coming towards me.

It was my companion from the guild.

“Astrid ordered me to keep an eye on you. I guess you could use my help to ex-filtrate.”

He smiled

“I’ll try to hold them off as best as I can. You go back to the Sanctuary!”

He went down to the quad again. I could hear him fight against the guards.

I changed my shoes to muffle and drank an instant invisible potion to escape.

I sat down quietly, moved down to left corner of the quad along the corridor to get into the temple.

Fortunately, no one noticed me getting inside the temple. I began to notice my hands sweating like an overcooked cheese wheel.

I looked around and found a stairs leading outside of the castle. I quickly sprinted and got out of the castle. Soon after, I journeyed back to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary.
