Fighting is all this one knows. Fighting made this one strong.
The soft tickle of new spring grass gave Sly Cat a shiver of pleasure up her spine. The warm sun danced upon her silky face, touching every curve and hair. Sly Cat raised her head towards the glowing source of radiant heat and closed her emerald eyes. She rarely enjoyed such moments anymore. This one was hunted. Blamed for a murder she had not committed, Sly Cat fled her home in Rimmen. She lowered her head and opened her eyes, the large pupils instantly reverting to tiny vertical slits. Perched atop a large rock outcropping, she scanned the distant ocean horizon. To her east was the Town of Daggerfall. Sly Cat had been running for three years. Since she was barely of age. Three years later and she had all but forgotten about her quest for vengeance, having found that gold and Skooma had more appeal and just as much danger. A shuffling of brush behind her. Sly Cat turned around in a flash, all while pulling her finely crafted Orcish Sword. Shield on her back, she faced down the thing in the bush, eyes focused intensely. A shadow emerged and then became visible. It was a Khajit by the name of Ri'sari. She had met him before in Skywatch.
"This one was not expecting you so soon." Sly Cat said as she turned back around on the cliff side to view the surreal ocean vista, sheathing her sword.
"Ri'sari has come to speak with Sly Cat. It is about the guild. A decision is made."
The sun was so warm this day. Sly Cat relished in the glow just a moment longer, then turned toward Ri'sari. A grin crept over Sly Cat's face. She already knew the decision. Skooma and trouble were her middle names. Deep inside Sly Cat an emotion stirred however. An emotion she had not felt since she was just a young cub, with a family, and no concerns but having fun. A sense of belonging. This could be an interesting turn of events. Sly Cat moved towards Ri'sari and spoke,
"Let us go and speak then. This one is eager to hear the news."
