Herius finally has the time to travel to the Leyawiin Sanctuary. He had been told by Speaker M'aiq that he could find this Sanctuary in the basement of the old Blackwood Company Building. Herius had heard that years ago the Hero of Cyrodiil helped the Fighter's Guild get rid of them.
When Herius arrives at the Building he knocks at the door. "What is the color of night?" Herius heard in his head. "Sanguine. My Brother." Herius replied as he rememberd being told this would be what he had to say. After the answer the door swings open. Herius walks in as he looks around. The door closes behind him.
Herius walks toward the basement door. The smell of Skooma was at first nose burning, but was now pleasing the body of Herius. He opened the door and saw the Dark Brotherhood sign on a banner by the wall. He continued walking down the steps to the Sanctuary. It seemed newly refurnished to the likes of a Khajiit. Pictures of many things, common and unusual. Of course there were pictures of Elsweyr, the homeland of Khajiits. Plus loads of Skooma, but there was also some out of the usual things. Herius noticed all the Calipers on tables and ground. He even saw a bucket of "Fishey Sticks" on the ground.
Herius was glad he had chosed Leyawiin as his new home, but something inside of him made him feel that he had been here before. Just like when he met M'aiq he begins to have day-dreams of a past he never had. These thought scared Herius, but he just pushed them aside. Herius waited for someone to arrive at the Sanctuary that was at the moment empty besides himself. He wanted to know the past about this place.

Alderon got to the old Blackwood Company building, where he was told the Leyawiin Sanctuary was located. He got to the door, and heard in his head "What is the color of night?" Alderon quickly replied "Sanguine, my brother" as the door opened and he saw the banner of the Dark Brotherhood by the wall.
Alderon entered the Leyawiin Sanctuary, happy that he could finally get a chance to meet his new family. He walked in, and immediatly smelled the skooma. He noticed the calipers, and found those odd but strangely comforting.
He was suprised at first, but as he continued to look around he understood perfectly. The posters of Khajiits, of the Khajiiti province of Elsweyr, and the other common and unusual things made things clear to Alderon.
"Newly furnished to the likes of a Khajiit, yet there are none here. I wonder where they have gone off to," Alderon mumbled to himself as he continued to look around.
As he walked downstairs to the basement, he noticed the other man in the room.
"Hello there, Brother. Are you the Speaker of this Sanctuary?" Alderon asked as he moved closer to the man.

Herius turned back to see someone else in the sanctuary. The person asked if he was the Speaker. Herius at first didn't know if he should say anything. He heard the Brotherhood had rivals, but he felt that he could trust him.
"No, I am not. The Speaker for this place is a Khajiit named M'aiq." Herius replied still wondering who this person was.

M'aiq's sensitive ears perked upwards at the sound of voices in his sanctuary. He rose from his bed and peered across the room to see two men. One was Herius, his new murderer. The other he didn't know. Of course, he wasn't worried. This stranger could only be an assassin. The Khajiit was curious though and approached them.
"Greetings Herius," M'aiq said with a nod. "If you're looking for a place to sleep, you can have any room upstairs that you like; M'aiq has no use for the upstairs. There's food in the pantry, so help yourself."
The Khajiit then turned his attention to the newcomer, saying, "And you. This scent is unfamiliar. Who are you?"

"I am Alderon Morvaiin. I was told to come to this sanctuary and meet a Speaker named M'aiq." He turned to the Khajiit, now that he knew the other man, named Herius, wasn't the Speaker.
"Can I safely assume that you are the Speaker of this sanctuary?" Alderon asked with a hint of curiosity. "If so, I am here to prove myself worthy of belonging to the Dark Brotherhood."
This Khajiit doesn't look like he could be a Speaker, but he also seems quite familiar.. Alderon shook himself out of the reverie, confused but knowing things would become clear in time.

Herius looks as M'aiq stands up and talks to the assassin that had showed up. Herius overheard that his name was Alderon Morvaiin. "You can trust him Alderon. He is the Speaker of Leyawiin."
Herius turned to grab a seat when all of a sudden he saw a tall Nord in a black hand robe and hood."Who are you?" Herius asked, but then the vision dissapeared. Confused on what he just saw he just sat down and listened to what M'aiq and Alderon would say.

"Ah, alright," M'aiq replied as he quickly looked over this new Dunmer. He wasn't quite sure what to make of him yet, but he would find out soon. "And yes, you can safely assume that M'aiq is the Speaker...because he is. No danger there. I have the perfect errand with which you can prove yourself, Alderon."
The Khajiit paused to think a moment, "Ah yes, out in the bay, there’s a fisherman who lives on his boat. He doesn’t catch any fish, but he keeps his boat out there anyway. He just won’t move the Nine damned boat, so kill Astran Thuril, Dunmer fisherman. Then, you shall get the honor of truly belonging to Leyawiin."
M'aiq's eyes averted towards Herius, who seemed to hold a distant look in his eyes. Humans are so strange, M'aiq thought.
"Uh, Herius, are you alright? Or are...you just...being a normal weird human," M'aiq asked, his brow elevated in curiosity.

Alderon nodded at M'aiq as he turned to Herius, who had a distant look in his eyes.
"Herius, are you okay? You seemed.. distracted by something." Alderon asked, ignoring the last statement M'aiq said as he looked at the other Murderer curiously.

Herius was still shocked at he saw. The man just popped out of nowhere, but he seemed so fimiliar. It was weird. Herius asked by the Speaker if he was alright.
"You two didn't just see that Nord?" Herius asked the two others in there.

Alderon looked around, confused. He didn't see anyone but the three of them.
"Uh.. no, Herius. I didn't see a Nord. Did you see one, Speaker?" Alderon asked M'aiq, his eyebrow raised out of curiousity.
He was hoping that Herius wasn't turning loony on them, but he wasn't sure.

M'aiq furrowed his brows slightly as he stated, "Of course M'aiq sees a Nord. You are a Nord, are you not? You are standing right there where I can see you. Now, the fact that you are seeing a Nord is...a bit strange. Perhaps you've been drinking more mead than you should?"
He didn't know what to make of the human's statement. Was he kidding? Or was he just insane? M'aiq didn't know much about humans, but he'd never known them to see other people.
"M'aiq thinks Herion may need some sleep," M'aiq stated after a moment, unsure of what else to say. He wasn't a Khajiit of medicine after all, though this type of occurrence seemed beyond medicinal help.

Herius looks around making sure nobody was there. It had been a weird day him. Knowing M'aiq, Sanctuary looking fimilar, and now the Nord. Maybe M'aiq was right, but he had not been drinking today.
"Oh well, um I hope you do good our your initiation Alderon, but as I have been waiting to ask you M'aiq. Tell me about the past of this Sanctuary. There may be reason I'm seeing things and stuff." Herius said to Alderon and M'aiq.

Alderon nodded thanks to Herius before walking off. "I'll return shortly, M'aiq."
Alderon turned and left the Sanctuary, heading towards the bay and the fisherman who needed to die. He would find out about the past of the Sanctuary some other time.

M'aiq nodded to Alderon as he left the room to fulfill his initiation quest. The Khajiit's attention was now focused on the Nord. M'aiq didn't quite know what to say to him now.
"Well," he commented, "M'aiq hopes his sanctuary isn't make you crazy and that you're just being crazy on your own."
He then stopped for a few seconds as he thought about the history of the Leyawiin sanctuary. It hadn't been a very long one, but a number of things had happened.
M'aiq scratched his head as he recounted, "Well, of course, M'aiq has not always been Speaker. Shady was Speaker before he was. M'aiq was a Silencer for quite some time for Shady. He did many quests. Shady disappeared though. The Khajiit has no idea where he went, really. M'aiq is Speaker now though. He wonders sometimes if Shady was killed, perhaps by the Morag Tong. M'aiq doesn't know."

Herius thought about the past he was told. He knew that even though M'aiq didn't wear one most Speakers wear the Black Hand robe and hood. Just like the man he just saw.
"So he just dissapeared? When was the last time you saw him?" Herius asked trying to get as much information he could to maybe solve these weird visions and thoughts.
