Journal of Justiciar Avanaire

by Justiciar Avanaire

Journal of a Justiciar who betrayed her squad for sisterly love

---

Sarocil tells me that the debt collectors are getting impatient. How funny this whole situation is. I had always dreamed of my little sister returning, but now that she's here in my home I feel only grief. She's brought nothing but trouble, yet I can't turn her away. Not now. Not after she's come to me in her time of need.

I'm still not sure she's clean. I hate to say that about my own sister, but skooma changes a mer. I could barely recognize her, she was so thin. Her bony fingers, clinging to my skirts. Her broken voice begging me to help her. I want to believe her, I want to help her make a good life but … I can't. Not yet.

Even so, I have little choice now. She owes money to some dangerous characters. How could I let my baby sister be sold to some Telvanni mage, or killed to make a statement? I can't take that risk.

The trouble is that the Divine Prosecution's reputation doesn't allow for underhand dealings. There's not a fool in Summerset who would agree to a bribe. Too suspicious. I hate to admit it, but this buyer Sarocil found is the only way out. What they want with the pearl, well, Auri-El knows. But what choice do we have?

I made sure to be put on Captain Telomure's squad, just as planned. I'll wait until we're close to Tor-Hame-Khard. That's where the buyer should be waiting for me. I'll take the captain by surprise, grab the pearl, and leave him for dead. If I know Summerset soldiers, they'll follow me into the ruins. And then, well … the buyer has assured me that they'll take care of the soldiers. Permanently.

I'll report that bandits stole the pearl, and there won't be a mer alive who can contradict me. If all goes well, my position should remain intact. By Oblivion, I may even be promoted for my bravery. And Sarocil will have the gold she needs. She'll be safe.

I do this for her. She's all the family I have left, broken or not. I'll take care of her. No matter the cost.
