Nathen pov.

My story starts out at Fort Dawnguard with me sitting on the front steps leading inside to the fort. I wore my heavy dawnguard armor with my helmet on the steps next to me. I had one of my swords on my leg cleaning it from the recent mission. I was sent to some cave to save someone who supposedly cares about me. I rolled my eyes thinking about it before I went back to my blade cleaning the bloody ash off. I started thinking about how I was  expected to take the place of the Dragonborn ever since he left to live a peaceful life. "Hey Nathen!" I heard a female voice say and turn around to see the long haired elf running over to me in her slightly questionable outfit. "Isran told me to come get you for something." Legoliana said as she smiled at me.

"Okay I'm coming." I say standing and putting my sword on my back with its twin. (Basically the way where a long sword would go but the one handed swords go there.) I put my helmet on and started walking into the fort. I pushed my way in as Legoliana walked behind me to where Isran usually was. I smiled seeing the fort filled with recruits and veterans from the assault on the vampire castle. I then turned finding my way to the stairway upward. Legoliana had stayed down to talk with some recruit or something. I finally got up the steps and saw Isran looking over the railing.

"Ah Nathen. Glad you're here. We need to talk about something." Isran said before walking into his room behind him. I was a bit confused since I had never been in his room before. I was about to follow until my wolf senses picked up the scent of dried blood. I walked in and to the right of the room was a small area with torture devices and blood. The the left of the room was his bed and stuff. I steered clear of the torture area and walk over to Isran who was sitting down on a chair.

"What's up?" I asked a bit confused. "Did I do something?"

"Besides all of your accomplishments in the dawnguard?" He asked showing a tiny bit of humor with concerned me.

"Uh."

"Don't worry I'm just tasking you with a mission to go to the dark brotherhood and talk with them." He said seriously which for some reason calmed me down.

"Uh why?" I asked confused and still slightly concerned.

"I need you to talk to them about getting a spell from a certain place." Isran explained.

"Why not the thief's guild?" I question.

"I've already been to talk with them and they have sent an common ally. Mask will be joining you on your mission along with Legoliana. Also a newer recruit named Jesse will be taken under your wing on this mission to get her some time in the field." Isran said looking at me annoyed.

"What exactly is this spell you're going to have us retrieve?" I asked suspicious.

"I'm not completely sure but I know that the remaining groups of vampires are trying to get it so we mustn't let them." Isran said while I nodded.

"Very well." I say bowing before I start leaving.

"Be careful Nathen," Isran warned, "it's going to be very dangerous." I nodded again and finally get to the main hall which is filled with laughter and cheer.

"LEGOLIANA, JESSE, AND MASK!" I yell causing everyone to silent. "We're leaving now!"
