In a past life, my name was Alex, I was 18 years old and was a fan of The Elder Scrolls series. Most of all I liked the guilds in them, one of the most favorite was the "Dark Brotherhood". I was crazy about her, in my room it was always dark, like in a crypt. There were posters of dragons and many members of the brotherhood on the walls, one of the walls was occupied by a large poster of Sithis and the Night Mother with their children. Also in the room were various figures from the Skyrim and Oblivion series. I also had a fraternity uniform and a Black Hand. In general, I was a fanatic of this entire franchise.
My parents did not understand this, but they did not try to "knock" this out of me, as they called "nonsense", for which I was grateful to them. Now I'm on my way home from work. It was deep night outside, and only the light from the windows illuminated the streets in which there was impenetrable darkness. Passing along the next lane, they grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and pulled me towards them. Once in a dark alley, I did not immediately understand what had happened, and therefore I did not notice how a knife was being carried to my stomach. The killer covered my mouth with his hand, plunging the knife deeper into my body. Feeling weak from the bleeding and burning pain, he drew a dagger that looked like a blade of grief from behind his back and plunged it into the killer's neck. He died instantly. His body fell next to me, I pulled the knife from my body, glancing at the killer's body and then at the bloody dagger in my hand, a smile appeared on my face. I started laughing madly, gripping the dagger tightly, I began to stab the already dead killer, talking madly.
- Accept my gift Father of Terror and Mother of the Night.
Having hit several times, I realized that there was no more strength left, my life had flowed out of my body. The last time I grabbed the dagger, I pierced my heart with words.
- Accept your child in the void Mother and Father.
Having stuck a dagger in my heart, I fell to the ground, my body no longer obeyed me, I didn't even have the strength to breathe. The last time I blinked, I heard a male voice.
- I accept you child, serve me with dignity in the next life.

After all the words, I opened my eyes and saw the jester. He looked suspiciously like Cicero from Skyrim. He saw that I woke up and started laughing and screaming madly.
- Yes, yes, yes, thank the Night Mother, thank Sithis, your child is awake. Ahahahah, thank you kind mother for such a great gift in such a dark time. O great one, please tell me what is it?
I did not understand what he meant, but my lips themselves said a phrase that made Cicero believe that I was a child of Sithis.
- Darkness comes from the death of silence, the keeper of my mother.
Then I almost went deaf from a strong cry of happiness or madness. Cicero started screaming about mother, about Sithis and about something else, I didn't hear. Until I began to consider where I was. What can I say, I was in a bed made of wood and hay, the rooms where I looked like ruins, I was dressed in a black hoodie, under which there were simple clothes, but most importantly, there was an open coffin in front of me, and there was a body in it, more mummy-like. A sudden thought entered my head.
"I ended up in the TES universe? Am I.... "
Involuntarily, I began to laugh, even crazier than Cicero. Wasting no time, I got up from the bed, under the curious look of the jester, knelt in front of the body and said.
- I thank the crown, mother of the night, for a second life in this world.
Then I heard a female voice coming from the body.
- Live here my child, return the former greatness to our brotherhood. I appoint you as the Hearer of the brotherhood, create a black hand and spread the influence of the brotherhood to all worlds.
I looked at Cicero out of the corner of my eye, there was devotion in his eyes, but also envy. I understand him, he was the guardian of her body and dreamed of hearing her at least once. Well, I'm using this dream to make him loyal only to me.
- Merciful mother, could you say a few words to our keeper. He deserves your words.
After my words, Cicero expressed surprise, and as soon as he heard the words of the mother of the night in his head, he fell to his knees.
- My dear Cicero. My best keeper, serve faithfully to my son.
After there were no words from her both for me and for the jester. Getting up from my knees, I went up to the jester, and he wasted no time in vain began to hug my legs with tears in his eyes.
- Thank you ooooh great hearer, my lord. For many years I dreamed of hearing at least a letter from our mother. Ahahahah you can do whatever you want with this keeper, I will follow your order.
Tired of his words, I said.
- Calm down guardian, let's go to another room and you will tell me everything, let's not disturb our mother.
Leaving the room, we found ourselves in a corridor that looks no better than the room. I began to ask questions about this universe, at the same time checking the memories of this body.From the words of the jester, I understood that our meeting was a few days ago. A shadow approached him, which he identified as the "Wrath of Sithis", and was ready to die, believing that he had violated one of the dogmas, but instead of death, the shadow told him where to look for me, namely in the Dunstar refuge. After finding me and seeing how the coffin of the night mother reacts with my body, he decided that I was a child of the night mother and Sithis, this was also facilitated by the fact that I was dressed in a black hand suit. I lay in my sleep for five days, and Cicero did not leave me for a second and fed me, the food was brought by the summoning animals that he called, so
My memories were extraordinary. I was a Breton, I almost don't remember my childhood, part of my youth, but it turns out that I'm a Dovakin. Yes, yes, I was on execution until Alduin appeared and burned Helgen, I fled with the Stormcloaks. They helped me get out, and after I went for the claw, I found it and moved on in the story. I visited the old people, they taught me how to scream, after that I visited almost all the princes and princesses and received their artifacts. Until I found this hideout and put on the robe of the black hand, which was well preserved and looked like new. That's how I ended up here.
While I was thinking, Cicero asked me a question.
- Hearing what are we going to do now?! We'll kill Astrid's bitch and perform a cleansing ritual?!?! Yes! Yes! All of them must be killed, they do not follow dogmas, except for Babette and maybe Nazira. But they must all be killed!!!! Yes Yes Yes!!!
Discarding my thoughts, I turned to the jester and said.
"It's not yet time for purification guardian, I know the future of our brotherhood, Sithis told me what will happen to the brotherhood so I'm here to fix it." I will personally lead the ritual, you will come with me. We will kill the traitors and give the rest the choice to be with us or die. This shelter needs to be repaired as well.
After my words, the jester began to jump for happiness. While he's having fun I'm starting to remember the members of the fraternity at the moment. I will kill Astrid personally, she does not deserve the place of the leader of the brotherhood and even the usual murderer of the brotherhood. Vizara, the dark lizard follows the dogmas and is devoted to the mother of the night and Astrid, because she sheltered him. He can be left if he is not so loyal to Astrid. Arnbjorn is Astrid's husband, so he will die. He is a wolf and very devoted to his wife. Festus Krex it can be left. As I remember, when the jester appeared, he was one of the first to support him, he also strives to comply with the dogmas, the magician of destruction, I would not want to lose such a person. Gabriella can also be left, although she is not so good with dogma, she deeply respects the Mother of the Night, probably the keeper respects her more, and maybe I. She's a great magician so you should leave her. Buttette and Nazir do not even need to be discussed, they will remain. Having developed a plan of action, I told the jester.
- Of all the members of the brotherhood, we will kill only Astrid and her wolf husband. If Vizara is on the side of Astrid and does not go under our start, we will kill him too. Until this happens, you need to clear this shelter of debris, bring at least the room of the mother of the night to normal.
After my words, the keeper wrote down his head and ran to carry out my orders. Yes..... He is a good dog. Finding a way to the surface and sighing fresh air, he said to himself.
- 'System, status'
A mechanical female voice of the system was heard in my head, and a black panel appeared in front of my face, with white letters and a black hand sign in the middle.
