[b]Context (Situation):[/b] After leaving Falkreath Hold, Azumi Ian traveled across Skyrim on horseback in order to seek the other Hold in which her Assassin Order sect had based in the region, Windhelm in the east. However, she is held back in Solitude, capital of Haafingar Hold, and unfortunately runs into one of her "owners", Dani of the Collective, forced to do a series of errands for her that increase the power of the Collective in the region, whether she likes it or not.


[i]Outside of Solitude, Haafingar Hold
Skyrim, Tamriel, Nirn
4E 200[/i]

Black cowl over his head to increase the damage of a bow if he would use one, with a cloth mask of black over his mouth and nose, showing only the piercing aqua eyes. The black and red cloak of cloth and leather to decrease the amount of magicka expended with the Destruction school spells. Dark hand wraps to increase the damage of a stab from behind with one hand. Black shoes to muffle his footsteps, though armorless.

The Altmer Assassin watched the carriage riding to Solitude. He had been following it for some time. Some of his companions had fallen back, of course, but the blade always had to praise its lord, and this target had had a mark on her since the start of the Assassin-Morag Tong Alliance at the end of the Third Era. He and his team had followed her since Markarth, but there was only himself and the Dunmer here now. It would have to be enough.

He saw her, in similar clothing to himself albeit with a different fit hidden by other trees... and saw it. The signal, a flicker of an out-the-front switchblade. Out, then in. Silent, but visible as a very faint twinkle. It could have been the eye of a rabbit. The signal was there, the question out.

[i]Time to strike?[/i]

Yes. He just needed to set up. He concentrated, the purple lightning crackling on both of his hands... and fired.

The ball of electrical energy, the condensed storm, exploded from his hands, slamming into the road in front of the carriage. It wasn't an attack in and of itself, but rather a conjuration. What was left was something akin to a limbless, stone golem, electricity crackling all around it, the face emotionless and bald. Pieces of rock crackled around, held up by lightning as it prepared to strike. The [url=http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Storm_Atronach_%28Skyrim%29]Storm Atronach[/url] was indeed powerful, the strongest of the atronachs, but it was still just a precaution, a way to frighten the driver and a backup.

As the horse reared up, the driver screaming of the "atronach", another attack came. It was in the form of what appeared to be a concentrated, large blast of purple lightning, aiming directly for the woman in the cart's head as best as was possible. With that, the Dunmer disappeared, the Invisibility scroll working wonders to allow him to escape.

His life would be a worthy sacrifice for such a successful hit, and he needed to stay behind for more conjuration if necessary.
