The Night Mother's Daughter
First Tier II within the Dark Brotherhood
The second Beta of the Dark Brotherhood
You step cautiously through a particularly rocky sect of the Sanctuary, ears twitching as you follow the faint trickling sound of water.
Your path quickly breaks into a large opened cavern, and you blink as the sun suddenly reveals itself. Its light flickers down onto a lazy river that drifts through the cave, and you're dazzled briefly by the reflection of the sky in the water.
A dragonfly darts past your muzzle, and you flinch back, expression turning to one of bewilderment as you hear the soft chuckle of someone next to you.
"Hello, newcomer." She smiles, brushing past you. The feathers braided into her fur tickle your flank as she moves. "I see you've found my personal quarters in the Sanctuary. I'm Cassiopeia."
"The Beta," you acknowledge, dipping your head. "It's an honor."
She nods to you, laying down on the flat boulders that line the stream. "Not for long, of course. My daughter only appointed me for my guidance as she begins her reign. I don't mind. She's headstrong and needs the assistance these first few moons."
You approach her, and she rolls over to make room for you to settle down on the rock. You rest your head on your paws, sighing softly as the warmth of the sun soaks into your bones.
"You know, lots of Initiates fear age. They don't want the weakness that comes with it." Cassiopeia looks over to you. "But I think it brings about an appreciation of the smaller things in life."
