"I see. Well, now that you saw what they can do first-hand, you know how dangerous they are." Cassandra noted, her tone becoming serious.

"Two factions fought them in the shadows to keep them from expanding too far since the long-forgotten Planemeld Crisis. Yet despite their best efforts, the Blackhearts returned and rebuilt, as tenacious as the Orcs of the Wrthgarian Mountains."

Cristus picked up on what the bosmer was talking about, and said "You mentioned fighting for one of them before, right? After you cut ties with the Mages Guild and Fighters Guild?"

The bosmer nodded after turning to face the four and taking a seat.

"Yes. I was there. Fighting those fighting those highly-organized criminals was no joke. They're practically the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood mushed into one with a mix of Sanguinare Vampiris.

We fought them in a major battle before in the Crypt of Hearts in Rivenspire with the assistance of House Ravenwatch, and even the noble houses of Tamrith and Dorell. The siege lasted for almost a week, with so many dead from both sides." she shrugged, preferring not to remember that one battle where she saw so much bloodshed in one sitting.

"...And the Blackhearts still got away with it. But how?" Cristus asked.

"Their leader's really smart. He used countless body doubles to act as him and play us for fools. And he has a large network of contacts in the criminal underworld, and you know how it goes." the bosmer noted.

"...I can tell that you want justice for those who died, kid. I see it in your eyes. But knowing the strength and capabilities of the Blackhearts, are you willing to undergo the journey, despite what it entails?" she asked.

"Yes." Cristus said, "So many innocent people, Jo'Khar included, died because of me. I don't seek vengeance. If not for justice, then I'm doing it so the Blackhearts don't smash the lives of others ever again."
