Bruma's chapel stood tall in the tapestry of the night. The city itself was mostly silent and sleeping. Only from a few Taverns and Inns one could hear Nords laugh and celebrate, as they always do. Snow had fallen in the day and it had covered the road and streets in the city with a small layer of snow that crunched under the boots of the Imperial soldier.

He was looking for the office of the penitus oculatus. The Secret Serivce of the Empire. He had gotten their in no time thanks to a motorcar. But now he Inside the city he looked around for the office. Eventually after searching near the north gate he found the small wooden hut with two banners waving infront. On the banners you could see a red eye covered by three spikes. It was the Oculatus all right.

So the legionaire walked inside and greeted the men inside. About a dozen or something.

"Evening Legionaire... What brings you here?" One of them inquired.

"I have direct orders from Legate Marcus!"

"Go on"

"A dark brotherhood shrine has been found in Cheydinhal"

The Agents all looked up from what they were doing.

"How reliable is this infromation, soldier?" The chief asked when he walked out of his office.

"Very, I saw it with my own eyes. The black door with the red hand..."

"Sweet breath of Arkey..." The chief dwelled.

"Good. You can leave, legionaire, we'll handle the rest..."

The Imperial was about to leave but a question still nagged him. So he turned back again.

"I'm sorry... but is this it?"

"Is what it?"

"You know... you lot. The only Penitus Oculatus..." he felt stupid asking.

He felt even more stupid when the agents all looked at eachother and smirked.

"Of course not. Our head quarters is in the Imperial City, however we are closer by Cheydinhal."

"yeah, I know that but... still... You're all that is going to cleanse an entire Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary?"

"What? oh no of course not" The chief added.

"I don't understand' The legionaire replied.

"Hmm you will. Come aling with me." the chief then walked to the rug and pulled it away. He then opened the hatch that was underneath and walked down the steps

"You coming?" he asked the Imperial who was a bit hasitent at first. But eventually he also came down. once he did he saw an entire division working. Underground.

"Wow..." Was the only thing he could let out.

"yeah, wow indeed..." Now promise me you won't tell anyone else about it.

"Eh.. sure"

The Chief looked at him with seriousness

"otherwise we might need to pay a visit to your wife..."

The Soldier got the message. And looked scared, he knew the Penitus Oculatus was a secretive bunch but damn... this was just cruel. he nodded without saying a word and quickly climed back up and walked out of the door.

-

"Chief... We didn't even knew he had a wife..."

"I know"

They both laughed at it.

"But we've got a real crisis at hand here."

"Prepare the troops, we're going to cheydinhal. Tonight!"
