Dark Brotherhood: Ancient Blood 001

Chapter 1: "Fool's Gold" ***Author's note: This on-going story has a handful of chapters that have a "mature content" filter on them due to subject matter and adult situations. Everything is written in a tasteful and relatively non-graphic manner, but to abide by Deviantart's terms, the filters are there. To view these chapters- you MUST be logged into an account and your mature content blocker must be OFF. These chapters are typically very important to the plot's progression, so skipping them will cause holes in the story and result in confusion. The crisp northern air smelled fresh and clean to Jade as she trudged down the cobbles

Chapter 3: "Cold Hearted" *Author's note: If you are wondering where chapter 2 is- you need to turn off your "mature content" filter under your account settings. Also, if you are not logged into a DeviantArt account, you will not be able to view mature content chapters either. Skipping mature content chapters will leave huge holes in the story and cause confusion. The filters are in place to abide by DA terms, but I keep the content itself relatively tame. Jade shivered a little, as she opened her eyes. She squinted up at the clear morning sky. Little droplets of dew glistened on her skin. The crackle of the campfire blended with the so

Chapter 4: "Family Jewels" A few hours since they left camp, Cicero and Jade finally reached the outskirts of Morthal, a small town hidden in the dense marshes of the Hjaalmarch reach. The swampy surroundings made it difficult to travel, but also provided some decent protection from attack. Jade groaned, trudging through the mucky shin-high waters, her boots suctioning into the mud. Even tho the elven girl weighed less than a hundred pounds, Cicero's arms felt weak and his back was hurting from carrying her for so long. He had her piggyback now to relieve some of the strain but it was still taxing by this point. The docks became visible

Chapter 5: "Would the Real Hero of this Story Please Stand Up?" Cicero could barely keep his eyes open. The only thing keeping him awake now that the nausea of the poison berries had long worn off, was the sharp chill of the northern night air on his face. His head bobbed with the bouncing of the cart. Jade had moved over to sit beside him on his bench a while back as it got dark and the temperatures dropped dramatically. She now appeared to be dozed off with her shoulder against his, her chin bowed on her chest. Her urge to keep warm by sharing body heat was at odds with her need to not let Cicero see her as weak. Ruby, the elven

Chapter 6:“One to Bring Home to Mother” Cicero felt like his back was about to give out as he stumbled his way into the sanctuary. He was beginning to truly feel his age as he carried the young elven girl through the musty corridor. She was clinging to him tightly, still reeling from the dragon attack. That familiar humid and mossy scent was welcoming him home. “Mother!” He cheered rounding the corner into the main area, “Mother! Cicero has returned! Returned with a surprise! Oh, wait 'til you see!” He suddenly felt his energy jump as he bounded up to the large upright stone casket displayed

Chapter 7:“Awkward Silence” Several days had passed since Ruby's arrival at the sanctuary. Her muscles gradually strengthened enough to allow her to move around on her own. She seemed curious about everything she could get her hands on. Babette “found” an old blue and beige farmer's wife's dress on one of her evening outings and patched it up for her to wear. The shackles on her throat, wrists, and ankles proved impossible to remove yet with her wounds freshly bandaged and her confidence restored, Ruby rapidly became the mascot around the sanctuary. Her sweet and naive disposition was a welcome contrast to the dar

Chapter 8:“Renaming Pain” Cicero continued to stare at Zukira with curiosity. No sign of recognition in his eyes. She looked as if she could hardly contain her sudden excitement. She ran over to him and reached her hands out to touch his face, but caught herself at the last moment and pulled back. “I was sure you were dead... I was told that everyone was killed...” she stuttered. Her obvious recollection of him made Cicero's head start to hurt. He looked her over, but nothing was coming to him. “Miss,” he said lightly bowing, “It's a pleasure to meet a new Sister. I am the Keeper-&

Chapter 9:“Lobotomy” Assassins were known to be most active under the cover of night. So, it was not at all odd that the sanctuary was still and silent at the moment. One would assume the place to be abandoned still. It was a particularly cold eve, so the initiates who were not out completing simple contracts were wrapped up in pelts and linens in their beds. After being sure Ruby was asleep, Cicero silently made his way out to the main hall and sat down in front of the large fireplace. His jester attire ripped and worn from years of use did nothing to keep him warm since he had arrived in Skyrim many months prior. He tr

Chapter 10:“Somebody That I Used to Know” Zukira squinted her crimson eyes as she drew back the string on her bow. She stared down the arrow to the hay target on the other side of the training room. Archery was not her thing. She was way more skilled with pyromancy like most of her race. It just came naturally. But being back in a Sanctuary and in the presence of her superior, Cicero... or whoever he was now... Zukira knew she needed to make her mark. No more wallflower. No more awkward quiet girl who ran from battle. Archery was one of Cicero's best skills and she had admired his seemingly effortless abilities with th

TES: Indigo Children 068

Chapter 068 "Collecting Information" Raz took a deep breath and quickly gathered herself. She turned away from Len and made a long stride to the other end of her lab where a large leaver was embedded into the floor beside a workbench. After pulling it, she turned her attention to the wall at the head of the room. It gradually became translucent as a blue light on the ceiling brightened. The silhouettes of several bodies faded into view within a line. They were all in a suspended animation within a pulsating magical field. Like treasures on display, this was her pride and joy; Raz’s collection of the rarest specimens she could get her hands on. They were of all different races, from all different times and lands, some of which no longer existed. Her means and methods of obtaining them were without bounds. She would go to any length to secure a living token. She called them her ‘Indigo Children’; Individuals born with special and rare abilities. Freaks of nature and in some cases

Chapter 067 "Broken" “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry!” Len whimpered as Raz continued to drag him down the narrow corridor like a frustrated mother removing her rambunctious child from the market, “I-… I don’t know what got into me. Please! I don’t want to screw this up!” Raz refused to acknowledge him. Other scientists stared as they moved quickly through the hall. She was absolutely humiliated on so many levels. Once they reached her personal lab on the far end of the building, Raz shoved Len inside and frantically slid the metal door closed. “Unbelievable,” she hissed through her teeth and turned to look at him, “Why didn’t you just use the Calling? Hmm?” Raz tapped her finger on his forehead, “Does the entire city need to know your paranoid concerns about anything and everything?” “No, ma’am.” “Not only did you make a spectacle of yourself, but you humiliated me in front of Master Kyrin!” “My apologies, Madam Yzrazara. There are just so many coincidences

TES: Indigo Children 066

Chapter 066 "Error 333: Connection Not Found" *Headcanon disclaimer. Please check the description below* In the subterranean city of Bthar’zel, the upper ranks of the Dwemeri society consisted of the most brilliant and dedicated intellectuals. The hierarchy was strict and there was no place for distracted minds. Domestic courtship was seen as time-consuming and in a society that ran on efficiency, there were much better ways to go about such things. Arranged marriages was a simple way to cut through the emotional toll of finding a partner. Upon request, senior members would gather the appropriate data needed to secure a suitable mate. But under these restrictions, love was a four-letter-word. Again, it was just another distraction from more important things. The work of the Dwemer was always meant to benefit the race as a whole. There was just no tolerance for selfish desires… no matter how natural or tempting. Stepping away from your station could result in demotion and the very

TES: Indigo Children 065

Chapter 065 “Thanks for the Memories...” Kyrin hesitated to react as he pushed through his emotional cycle. The very sight of the hollow-eyed stranger was terrifying. He wanted to laugh at the fact that Sebastian was apparently already experiencing a sort of nightmare. Though it was frustrating that Kyrin’s time within his father's mind may be cut short due to the instability of the dream to begin with. In fact, Seb was likely to wake up as his heart rate increased from fear. Sadness washed in as Kyrin began to feel guilty for even planning to torment his ailing father. The old guy didn’t get good sleep as it was and having a double nightmare would render this moment of rest moot… As Kyrin’s mood cycle finally subsided and he could think clearly again, he could see Seb’s projection forming back into the Dreamscape dressed in his casual house robe. He lifted his head and took a deep breath as if waking up from the previous experience. He only managed to look around the void for a

TES: Indigo Children 064

Chapter 064 “Bad Omen” Kyrin first discovered his dreamwalking ability at age fourteen. It came about as a result of an amateur alchemic experiment knocking him into a deep yet lucid dream-state. His consciousness rose to a level of such intense self-awareness that he unwittingly stepped through the fabric of the Dreamscape into the dreams of those around him. It was there that Kyrin had experienced true sight for the first time. The Dreamscape is a prolific plane of reality that exists between the conscious mind and the Quagmire; Daedric Prince Vaermina’s sphere of Nightmares. Often times, dreamers would fall through the walls of the Dreamscape, either due to illness, madness, curse, or simply bad luck. Their dreams would quickly turn to nightmares and if unfortunate enough, they’d meet the Daedric Prince herself. Somehow, Kyrin had remained under Vaermina’s radar. His inexperience as a dreamwalker and overall naivete of the world in general had kept him safe within the dreams

TES: Indigo Children 063

Chapter 063 “The Meaningful Joys of Apophenia” “Excellent segue,” Sheogorath’s voice faded in as Jullien felt his consciousness returning, the scent of fruity tea hitting his nose, “Hm… I never understand these games that the kids play nowadays. What’s this one? The planking thing?” “Nah, he’s just sleepy,” Eris chirped and made a loud sipping sound, “The big boy’s had a big adventure. He’s not used to such excitement.” As Jullien’s senses returned, he could feel the pressure of Eris sitting on his stomach. He opened his eyes to see a wooden ceiling high above his head and realized instantly that they were now indoors. Did they move him? Was this a dream? Eris leaned forward into his line of sight. She had a wide and almost exaggeratedly warm smile on her face. Sheogorath slowly leaned over him as well. They were both holding mugs of tea and without saying a word, closed their right eyes in unison. “Eye, yai, yai,” Eris said quietly and lifted the mug to her lips to sip. It

Chapter 062 “The Big Cheese” The rest of the walk to the city of Winterhold should have only taken a half-hour at most, but with Eris’s legs still weak from the poison and the predicted snowfall beginning to pick up, it had taken twice as long. Or, at least it felt like it did according to Jullien’s sleep-deprived brain. Though, simply reaching the entrance to the quiet town was enough to give him a small boost of energy. The clouds were low, causing the proud towers of the college to seem like titans looming ominously over the snow-covered settlement. The entire view was breath-taking, especially to an outsider. Jullien’s eyes were wide with wonder as he dug deep into his memories to recall all the information he’d learned of this historical place. Sebastian owned a dorm here which had been left unused since before Jullien was born. Dorm rooms were typically loaned to students while enrolled, but Seb- not interested in magic training- merely wanted privacy to study and organize

Chapter 061 “I Dream of Julie” The lift was slow and noisy but ultimately rumbled to a halt in a shallow cave high above the cavern. There was a large pair of bronze Dwemeri-etched doors at the head of the short corridor that had been barred closed. Jullien carefully shifted Eris in his arms to remove the plank blocking the exit. It was clear that someone didn’t want anyone entering the lift from the outside. The moment he stepped out of the cave; a blast of icy air engulfed him. Though jarring, the frosty sensation was an incredible relief. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, filling his lungs. He appeared to be standing on an outcropping above the settled avalanche. It was difficult to tell what time it was. The clouds were heavily obscuring the sun threatening snowfall. Jullien scanned the coastline below as he tried to rationalize the passage of time. It was likely that an entire day had passed since they had fallen into the ruins, but his lack of sleep and growling

TES: Indigo Children 060

Chapter 060 “Lifted Spirit” Jullien’s many layers of guilt were all that was keeping him awake at that moment. Guilt about leading Eris into harm’s way. Guilt about selfishly exploring the ruins for his own enjoyment rather than immediately trying to find a way out. Guilt about leaving his brother behind… his literal other half. The knowledge of sharing a single soul with him still had Jullien shaken. He was filled with so many questions and concerns. What if something tragic happened to one of them? Would the other feel the pain? If one were to die… would the other also? His sense of responsibility to care for his twin was amplified with this new realization. Jullien didn’t want to take the chance that his own recklessness could harm Kyrin even at an extreme distance. This new concept had made the urgency to get out of the cave even more dire. Jullien wanted to study and catalog everything he could about souls and more specifically how it affected him and his brother. While the

Chapter 059 “The 17-Year Itch” “Oh, Mister Creator. You have been working so hard in your lab… creating things,” Ruby spoke in a low seductive tone, “Your muscles must be so tired. Please allow me to massage them for you.” Seb closed his journal as his small yet squishy wife slowly climbed up onto the bed and into his lap. She removed the book from his hands and set it aside. “…Ruby,” Seb’s mouth had been hanging open. He licked his lips and cleared his throat, “Wh-what are you up to?” “Ruby is my peasant name,” she replied in an unnaturally prideful tone, “You may refer to me as your queen.” Seb’s eyes widened as a chill went up his spine. Holy Xrib, was she for real!? What had gotten into her? Ruby lifted the eternal flower and gently dragged it down from his forehead to his lips all while holding eye contact. She then leaned in to position her cleavage just under his chin. “I-… Ru-… S-sweetheart,” Sebastian stuttered as he carefully placed his hands on her hips in an

My Bio

Hi! I am known online as Digital_Replicant across most platforms~ But you may call me Digi (or Foolish! Whichever works for you!)

This account is mainly for my Elder Scrolls stories, "Dark Brotherhood: Ancient Blood" and its sequel, "TES: Indigo Children". I'm very active on here and post new chapters regularly and new art several times a week. The stories are mostly dramatic/humorous social conflict and lore-friendly, but I do use headcanon and lore bending ideas for the sake of entertainment. If this bothers you, you don't need to tell me. Just don't read it. For a quick synopsis of the first story Dark Brotherhood: Ancient Blood, just click the thumbnail below!

Apr 4, 2021

*If you are not an up-to-date reader of Indigo Children, this journal info may not interest you... unless you aim to catch up. In that case: It's the big one! I tend to take little breaks here and there between plot points, but at least once a year I take a BIG break. Now, when most people say they are going on "hiatus", it means they are just straight up taking it easy... Me? I'm doing the opposite. XD The hiatus is only from posting new chapters (next chapter will be up May 2nd! So an entire month) but everything else will pick up since I will have more time to dig through my to-do list. I simply ran out of teaser art and it's just too stressful to try and crank out new chapter art each week in time for the chapter to be posted... as well as squeeze in other projects and life in general... Instead of pausing on a huge cliff-hanger like I have in the past, I've left you all with a huge abundance of information to chew on. I've been promising that all of the major plots would

Once came a man in this heliocentric plan Who found that he was the center of the universe Soon there were three and whatever the choice may be Would the knowledge uncovered help more than it hurt? Soon came the earth, that was flattened upon its birth And the victims of edges were the ones who knew Negative one, as we spin around the sun And you know that I did it all for you Past seen as lies and the future was seen through eyes That held on to the faith of everything they knew Negative one, as we revolve around the sun And you know that I did it all for you... For you. "Just give me a little time..."
