"There we are", said Ma'Ravi and smiled as she stood by Rikki's side in the mirror. "You look just as cute as your mother did in that robe."

Rikki stared back at her reflection. The robes were black and had the markings of red hand and skull printed on it. An equally black hood donned her head. She thought that she would have looked pretty handsome if not for the tail sticking out beneath the robe.

A Khajiit should never wear clothing like this, she reflected.

"Rikki looks like she could be part of a theatre troupe", murmured Rikki.

Ma'Ravi chuckled and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Don't mope, Listener. This is a day for celebrations to be had. The golden age of the Dark Brotherhood has just begun now when you have returned to as, as it was foretold."

Rikki sighed. "So... what must this one do now? Rikki is not a killer. Bandits are one thing, but innocent lives?"

"There are no innocent", stated Ma'Ravi sharply. "The Dread Father judges."

"Just who is this Dread Father? And this Night Mother you are speaking of? Rikki has no idea!"

Ma'Ravi looked at her worryingly. "Oh, dear. That uprising among those thieves must have really damaged you, my poor Ma'Javi. But this one guess that it was to be expected. The Night Mother said that you would return for the better, and here you are..."

"But who is she?"

Ma'Ravi's eyes glimmered. "You want to see her?"

Rikki would have said no, if she had dared, so she simply nodded. This seemed to please her aunt.

"We will leave for the Dawnstar Sanctuary as soon as possible. We have couple of affiliates there whom Ma'Ravi expect are eager to see you."

As the old Listener left the room she had redressed Rikki in, the Khajiit looked down on her black robes. From the daughter of an infamous assassin leader, to a thief, to a Companion, to the target of a bunch of assassins and now the leader of the assassins. Either her life had taken a new turn for the worse or maybe there was some light at the end of the tunnel for her.

She still wanted Xad to be there. But when she thought about it further, she would rather not. The male Khajiit had wanted to kill her just for being a thief. She would hate to know what he would do to her once he found out that she was now the official Listener of the Dark Brotherhood...
