The fourth and final Sanctuary. Fort Farget lays just outside the city of Bravil. The fort is protected by summoned creatures whom have been serving the Brotherhood since it's creation. Withing the first hall of the fort there is an ominous door. There one must state an answer to a question which the Listener chooses. Each member of the Brotherhood will know this password.

You are like a gift from the Night Mother herself Pyyra Ebonfold With in the main room, creatures were stationed at every door way. Some had been gifts of allegiance from necromancers, others the Brotherhood had summoned themselves but a majority had been gifts from Sithis himself.
Pyyra looked around at the gathered Dark Brothers and Sisters. Some revealed recognition on their faces but others were ignorant, those few didn't know who Pyyra was. All of them stared, it was unusual for three to enter a sanctuary at once. "Go about your business." Most followed her order and resumed what they had previously been doing. Though one slayer approached the group and scowled at Pyyra. "Who are you to order us around?" he asked. May the Night Mother wrap you in her cold, loving embrace

Elrienn Demetri
You may say he was annoyed, he disliked those who disrespected and who never listened. He was Pyyra's left, maybe even right hand.
"Watch your tongue or you won't have one by the end of your sentence."
He said with a sharper tone, he went through a rough journey and wouldn't allow any interruptions.
He sighed and looked at Pyyra, with eyes saying 'Im sorry sister'.

Freya looked around wide eyed, she had never seen anything like this before. The place was more amazing than she had expected. The atmosphere was wonderful and it didn't matter that people were staring, she simply didn't look at them but past them. She giggled when Elrienn made his threat, it was so homely

You are like a gift from the Night Mother herself Pyyra Ebonfold Pyyra's eyes snapped to the man whom approached them. She felt her anger rise momentarily but before she was able to act upon it, Elrienn spoke. This calmed her and allowed her to focus on him. "Calm yourself Elrienn, after all, why waste your breath on an ignorant child?" she said, reaching out and putting a hand on his shoulder. "I am the Listener and I suggest you go about your business before I allow Elrienn to follow up on his threat. The Night Mother's tenets may prevent from killing each other, but the loss of a tongue is hardly murder. Wouldn't you say so?" The Slayer's eyes widened and glanced toward Elrienn. It was easy to see his displeasure. "As you wish, honorable Listener." He said, backing away quickly and disappearing through a door.
Pyyra turned to Freya, letting her arm drop back down to her side. "Freya, go through that door," she said, nodding to a door on the right, "Find armor and a weapon that suits you." Turning back to Elrienn she smiled. It was time to tell him his new position. "Come my Silencer, we have much to talk about." She lead the way down a dark corridor into a large chamber. There were two beds. It was customary for most Speakers to rest in the same room as their Silencer, it ensure protection for the Black Hand.  May the Night Mother wrap you in her cold, loving embrace

Elrienn Demetri
Elrienn looked at Freya, his thoughts calmed as Pyyra cowpeas her hand on his shoulder.
"Sister, I expect my blade back at dawn, you won't find another one like it; the blade was crafted by a Mage I killed, one of a kind in these parts."
He grinned then looked at Pyyra.
'much to talk about' was the phrase that sunk into his head, he wasn't sure what was going on, when he reached the room he sat on the rightside bed, the left side was always closest to a heart, in this case he figured it resembled how she was closer to the Night Mother, he always respected Pyyra but now there was something else, his suspicion grew as she met his eyes with her own.

You are like a gift from the Night Mother herself Pyyra Ebonfold Pyyra grew quiet and the room quieter still. This was something that all Listeners needed, without the Black Hand would fail. she didn't know how Elrienn would feel about her decision, but either way she would bestow the title upon him.
"Elrienn, at every turn you have served our Night Mother and the Dread Father Sithis. Through training you were faithful, and when I, someone who was lower then yourself rose to become Listener, you accepted me and followed me." Pyyra began. She wanted to reflect on why she was doing this, "You kill without mercy, you fulfill every contract, following it to the letter. As my Silencer I have grown close to you, bestowed my trust unto you. I tell you now, in this time of need, though the Black Hand needs to be completed, you will not gain the rank of Speaker as of yet. But, instead I lay in your hands something far more important."
Pyyra stopped her pacing, coming to a stand still at the end of Elrienn's bed. "Instead I hereby name you my successor. When my soul takes its leave to join our glorious Night Mother, you will take my place as Listener." May the Night Mother wrap you in her cold, loving embrace

(I think you're talking to me because my sig is so much better than cashews~thank you)
Freya nodded and let her eyes watch the strangers carefully until she opened the door, it remained open as she wandered inside and inspected the armour then the weapons. Settling on some light armour that did not cover her limbs and inhibit her movement, "Finally..." She said looking at the weapons, a small dagger in front of her, much better than the heavy cleaver
(Stupid slow comp...took twenty minutes to write this...)

Elrienn Demetri
Elrienn's eyes widened,
'me? Listener?'
He Scanned her face for any trace of a joke, but she was serious.
He closed his eyes longer than several blinks then opened them to meet Pyyra's. He was confused and stunned, but he always wanted to serve. If her final wishes were for him to be Listener than he would obey. He faught for her and would even die for her, but now the table had turned, he was the one who's life was worth more, as much as he hated it he embraced the decision and closed his eyes with a grin.
"Master, why me?"
He asked quietly, his tone was sweeter than he ever spoke before.
"And why not the Speaker? Aren't they more eligable than I? What makes me more than... They are?"
He asked with the same tone, his voice was almost monotone but somehow sweet, he was about to show his weak side to her if anything.

You are like a gift from the Night Mother herself Pyyra Ebonfold It took a long moment for Pyyra to answer. Not because there was no reason, but it was the process of sorting the reasons and wording it. "Anyone can work their way up to Speaker, but it takes someone with endless amounts of loyalty and faith to be ready to give their life for the good of the Brotherhood."
"You and I have been traveling together for a while now. So much so that I have been able to keep an eye on you. You have had no time to betray the Brotherhood, even if you wished to. I have given you chances to walk away from this life, to sell us out but you always came back. With every contract completed." Pyyra smiled and lowered her voice to the same tone Elrienn had spoken in. "Over all. I trust you."
(Oh my...that post was almost all talking O.o. And yeah...>.> I'm Cashew Grrrr. I'm not a nut =x= Oh, what do you think of my Story so far?) May the Night Mother wrap you in her cold, loving embrace

(OOC: Inspiring, I feel like writing one now...)
Elrienn Demetri
He opened his eyes again and saw her smile, not the usual malevolent smile, but a casual unmistakable smile. She trusted him with her life, he lowered his hood and relaxed fir a moment.
"Pyyra, I have always followed orders, and I understand your decision. I... I accept the tasks ahead and follow you. I will always strive to protect the Brotherhood, if I do my job correctly we won't need a replacement Listener anytime soon."
He said with a more patriotic tone, then his voice dropped again and he looked at Pyyra.
"You have always protected us, all of us. I don't wish you to be gone, i almost would say I need you here. We're facing a crisis and as long as you live, I will be loyal and protect you."
He let out a tear and slowed his breathing.
"Pyyra, I won't let you die. If you do I will not let you die in vain."
He said as another tear rolled down his face, he was getting soft for once, the only other time was when they defended the sanctuary.

You are like a gift from the Night Mother herself Pyyra Ebonfold ((I wrote another part a little while ago if you haven't already seen it. =3))
Pyyra rounded the bed and sat beside Elrienn. Loyal to the end. She knew she had chosen well. Glancing over she saw a tear slowly making it's journey down his face. This was the second time she had seen his true heart and in response she allowed herself a moment where her own heart was exposed, even just slightly. She reached an arm around Elrienn, giving him a single armed hug.
"No matter the cost, you and Freya must survive. Listeners fall, I will one day, the Night Mother, no matter how much I wish it, will not grant me eternal life. But what I can do is do my best for the Brotherhood and leave it in capable hands." Slowly she looked down, her eyes narrowing in thought. the thought of death was both appealing and appalling. She would be with the Night Mother and Sithis but she would be leaving the Brotherhood and everyone she loved behind. All her Brothers and Sister. It was no wonder some had even found true love within the walls of the Brotherhood. The fondness that grows between members whom often work together can easily turn to romantic and intimate feelings. Pyyra looked upon most members as true siblings. She would protect them, all of them. May the Night Mother wrap you in her cold, loving embrace

Elrienn Demetri
Elrienn took a deep breath and soon felt Pyyra's arm wrap around him, he widened his eyes again and looked at Pyyra. It felt like he was with an older sister or something even more, he breathed and gave her a smile. He was always controlled at her touch, if it were anyone else he may have done something about it but with Pyyra it was the comfort he needed to remind him that there is at least one person in life that cared.
"Is it shameful, to... Love?"
He asked in a quiet tone, any less and it would be a whisper.
He let another tear out then wiped it with his arm. Then he made eye contact with her and sighed.
'what am I saying? Have I even spoken to a woman after my deceased sister in a loving fashion?'
He settled his hand back to its neutral position and he continued thinking mixed thoughts.
'Loving someone in the brotherhood, like she needed to take in another thing besides the entire 'episode' at the last sanctuary and bestowing her rank to me if she were to die...'
