Chapter 28: Quarter Finals (1/2)

In an alleyway, three figures stood together under the cover of darkness and were discussing so

”I am sorry, there are bad ruuys that died were said to be on a job for you” A voice spoke

”What are you talking about? I pay you and you do whatever I want you to do, why do you care about any of that?” Another voice replied

”There is a limit on e can do, even for a Black-Briar” A reply came ”Especially when our lives are on the line”

”You coward, don't talk to master Sibbi with that to” Another voice interrupted but halted when he heard footsteps

”Who's there?” He said

No reply caures, one of the three drew out a sword and the other two drew daggers

The ure and e I hired, he came back” One of the three who appeared to be Sibbi Black-Briar spoke

The , then he fell on one knee and froround

The three were taken aback, what they saw on theinto it

Panic started to take over and the three started feeling e bird landed on a rooftop, it looked like a spectral owl

”G, Ghost?” The ruffian that Sibbi was hiring panicked even uard to fall into panic too, this was not a usual sight to see, specter birds were a bad oure appeared, it was of a girl wearing robes, a hood and holding a dagger, this spectral girl ca trio were struck with fear and tried to run to the other side, yet they came to a quick halt

On the other end of the alleyway, two irls with the same description walked into the alley and stood there

”What is that? Why are there so ?” Sibbi spoke as if he was about to cry

They wanted to act but suddenly they heard the sound of air breaking, an arroards the bodyguard and pierced his neck

Blood splashes dyed his surroundings as the bodyguard fell on his back struggling his last breaths out

Sibbi, who saw the blood flying everywhere and even reached his face could stand no urls ju hi as the short specters filled the man with holes

As they stopped they turned to Sibbi who started crying and begging for his life

The surrounded hi, Sibbi was pale as fear controlled every inch of his being

Footsteps could be heard froure clad in a black cloak holding a bow in his hand

Sibbi knew this was the archer that killed his bodyguard, and the one who e's body an stretched his hand, a horas voice sounded, ”I call upon the ancient powers of Oblivion to bring forth this dead and raise a zombie”

Sibbi was terrorized, these were so with undead, he could only say ”Necroe's corpse started toweird voices

The Necromancer looked at Sibbi and walked slowly towards hi in a weird walk

Sibbi started apologizing and begging for his life, yet the Necromancer snorted in disdain

”That's an appearance suitable for a Black-Briar” The Necromancer said and removed his hood

Sibbi looked at the necro from conflict in emotions

The necromancer as naturally Jon, crouched down to see Sibbi face to face, ”In the gaant asshole, but you were not a coward” Jon said and continued, ”Why are you so persistent on killingfro him, he looked at Jon with mixed expressions of fear and hate, he didn't answer Jon

”Forgot about hih” A voice cae, it was supposed to be dead but now it's talking, Sibbi as reliving a traue and e as Rusning reer from his back, ”That's just a hilt”

”So, so, it was like this?” Sibbi already understood he was being played

”Yeah, it's like that” Jon said, stood and flicked his fingers, as he did that the spectral girls disappeared

”Show is over, you can leave” Jon said

”What?” Rusning and Sibbi were surprised as they looked at Jon

”No really, you can leave, this way, just go” Jon said while pulling Sibbi andyet, Jon took out another arrow and with the bow on his left he aiht and started running to the end of the alleyway

Jon so

The arro after Sibbi and pierced his neck

”The Lannisters send their regards” Jon just wanted to say that

Little did he know that there were a prying pair of eyes watching not far froures were ' Conjure Undead: Ghost']

Tonight, one of thepeople on Nirn and the heir to the Black-Briar empire was sent to Oblivion by me

I don't think Maven will leave this matter alone, she will look under every rock for the killer

I am not really afraid of her If I let Sibbi live he'll keep sending killers after me, if Maven knew, she'll also send killers after me, at least she may not know so I'll be at peace for now

After the deed was done, I put some final touches on the crime scene, erased any evidence, and went back to the inn with Rusning who changed back into his college clothes

Rusning asked me why did I have to trick Sibbi and kill hiical answer that if all victims were dead in one place this will tell that they were aht and robbery

We found a big coin purse on the bodyguard, that was clearly Rusning's last half of the payave it to me, 200 Golden Septi was not known to the public so we had to make an appearance in the inn as an alibi and ood are the cri like that but clearly, Solitude guards will at least ask questions, and Maven will use her influence

After an apple pie and so off and headed back to bed, I have only four hours before the match starts

Today's matches are only four, White Wolves vs Stormcloaks, Companions Second Team vs Warmaidens, Golden Swords vs Companions First Team, Snow Bears vs Arcana Wisdoe as aifted to , it was enchanted so Wulfur had to uidance, Wulfur and Battle-Born wore theirs too

Noe looked like a teae was already to its fill, Viarmo made his introductions and my team, as well as the Stormcloaks, were already on the arena

Their style was sianized, an axe and a shi+eld to all the five members
