(Gah, Sworn, you could have told me Elisif was under wraps earlier. Furyon is on an elevated position (a tree), BTW, so shooting past the soldiers is not an issue. He obviously would have expected soldiers to die for their Jarl.)

Jean Francois saw the arrow whizz out of the treetops, it's point aimed at Elisif. He ignored soldier and immediately marked the exact spot he predicted the arrow was from, recalling immediately (out of magicka...). Francois slashed his sword down at the Altmer, but he missed, the Altmer disappearing into a flash of light. He turned and saw the arrow bury itself into the wraps that surrounded the Jarl. (You can still decide whether Elisif dies or not.) He immediately recalled to Solitude, downing a magicka potion.

Alyssa reacted along with the soldiers, spreading out into defensive formation.

Fulvia called one of the thralls over, saying "Fetch this potions and poisons to your King, he will know what to do with them."

She called the other thrall, this one a handsome young Breton, exactly 5'11, to come to her side. She smiled at him. He would be Vauban's replacement and more. She called Master Xiuhcoatl, who came running. She said "train this man into a Black Guard, teach him the spells he needs to know, all the knowledge he has to learn, all the skills he has to survive. I want him to be more skilled than my brother in as short a time as possible, can you do it?"

"I can, but that depends if he's willing to learn and fit for the role."

"While you are at it, make sure he grows a spine, musculature and some disdain for authority." Fulvia turned to the young breton, who couldn't be more than 17, saying "today, you are a thrall, in time, you will be a warrior, a warrior above all men, do you understand?"

Xiuhcoatl was about to grab the Breton's wrist when Volk reappeared with a pair of bags. One contained A set of Shadowplate (that it the name the Black Guard call their armor) and a Black Guard sword. The other was obviously the Ebony. Volk said "got it from a blacksmith in whiterun, master, she gave it after intimidation."

"Seems like scavengers got to our fellow comrades before us" said Xiuhcoatl, who passed the sword to the Breton, before saying "come with me, seems like we have extra armor for you"

(Xiuhcoatl takes the Breton thrall out for brutal training (Tommen probably won't be glad when his former thrall comes back as a master swordman with advanced tactical knowledge and magic skills). They will begin with sword lessons, meditation exercises and chain lightning training (chain lightning is the signature spell of the Black Guard))

(Another peek at Sorin's training)

Master Toraak-Shiae looked at his vampire disciple and said "Sorin, I have nothing to teach you in swordmanship, you have mastered my seven forbidden sword techniques a decade ago. However, your heart and mind still have much to learn."

Sorin looked at his master. They had locked blades 20 times already, he always lost.

(Lol, think of Sorin's master as Tsaesci Yoda if you wish)
