A/n: had some employment drama to deal with .

"Hey, my face is up here . "
"Oh, sorry . "
Normally, the first sentence would be said by a girl to a rude guy staring at her feminine assets but the situation was reversed in this case .
Ever since Miranda broke her leg trying to kick Little Jon, somehow, everyone kept staring at where Little Jon is for the past week .
"Hey, I just want to ask a question . " Isha spoke .
"As long as it is not about Little Krilon, then don't bother asking . " Jon said .
"You really . . . fine . Just why do you keep such a thing a secret?"
"What thing?"
"Your little brother . It can break a mountain at this rate . "
"Hey! Stop spouting nonsense . I was just using an armored plate at the spot . "
"Ha! Who would believe that?" Isha dismissed Jon's answer .
Indeed he was lying . Jon has refined his bones and skin to the peak of humanity . Unless it is some sort of specially enchanted weapon for piercing like the [Spear of Bitter Mercy] or [Mehrune's Razor], nothing can really wound him especially when he uses his Aura . One of the reasons why Jon only uses [Greed] as armor and passed the [Savior's Hide] to Aela .
"By the way, where are the other three? No signal yet?" Jon asked .
"No . These elves are not your best fans anyway so they lump us together all the time . " Isha said annoyed .
"Hehe! Sorry about that . "

The two were sitting on a large tree overlooking the road between Mournhold and Narsis . It was dead night and the two were good at hiding .
"So . . . how were your advances on Mirren?" Jon asked .
" . . . Not good . " Isha groaned .
"Oh! I told you before, stop creeping the guy every time you meet him . "
"I don't creep him!"
"You smacked his butt . "
"By mistake . "
"You peep on him . "
"Wrong place, wrong time . "
"You cornered him to a wall when you were drunk . "
"Fine! I did all that! I like cute boys . . . not some muscle freak like you . " She said as she threw the wineskin at Jon .
"Dude, I know it is hard to find cute boys in this day and age but take it easy, you will have a million chance to save your prince in distress and be the gallant damsel . . . Wait! Shouldn't it be the gallant prince and the damsel in distress?"
"Are you trying to say that girls can't be gallant?"
"Who said so? One day I'll introduce you to my wife . . . pray she doesn't hate you on the spot . "
"Whatever, man . Just help me with Mirren this time . "
"Okay . "
"Thanks . . . Hey, here it is, one of them is out?"
As the two found what they were waiting for, Jon focused right away .
"Won't you wait for the others?" She asked .
"Just give them a signal that we found a way in once I infiltrate . " Jon said and quietly jumped off the tree .
He hid behind a large mushroom tree and waited for the target to arrive . A minute later, an Argonian brute appeared around the area and seemed to be out to water the flowers . As he was getting started, he heard a swift swooshing sound and the world darkened around him .
The head of the Argonian fell on the ground and Jon picked it up . He hid [Mehrune's Razor] back in his pocket and took out a potion flask .
"Here goes nothing . "
Jon checked the Argonian's appearance then swallowed the potion in one go . Little by little, he started transforming to the Argonian's appearance .
"It turns my stomach every time I see you do that . " Isha said .
"Just, keep, watching . Ah! The tail! It hurts! It fucking hurts every . . . damn . . . time . "
He changed his clothes and got used to his body before turning around and walking to where the Argonian came from .
Fifty meters from Isha's position, Jon entered a small encampment of Argonian marauders . They looked at him and didn't seem very impressed or moved, the same guy who went out to take a piss is the same guy who returned .
"Hey, gather around! I have found something!" Jon suddenly called to the bandits .
"Heem-Jas, what is it?"
The other Argonians gathered around some out of curiosity and some looked bored .
"I have found this blade . " Jon, in disguise, took out the large Nodachi blade from the Cube .
"What is that?"
"Hm? Looks a bit rusty?"
"Is that Ebony?"
"No, stupid . Ebony never rusts . Maybe some old Telvanni antique or something . "
The Argonian started arguing .
"Well, none of that is true . " Jon said, "It is an Akaviri Nodachi or Odachi, the first means 'field sword' and the second means 'great or big sword' . That's just the shape but the origin is really different and it is really ebony despite the rust . "
"Oi, Heem-Jas! When did your wise scaly ass become that of a scholar . "
"""Hahaha!""""
"Sigh! Ignorance . . . Anyway, it is about time you all gathered around . I really hope that the relationship you guys had with me so far was good and you will never hold a grudge against me . "
" . . . What is that abou . . . "
*Swoosh*
"♪ Let's get ridiculous! ♪"
Jon waved the Ebony Blade around like the wind and beheaded all those in his reach . About seven heads rolled on the ground with smiling expressions freezing on their faces . The Ebony Blade is a blade of deceit and those who are killed by it die with a smile on their faces if they were on good terms with the user .
"Heem-Jas! Have you gone mad?" The Argonians saw the seen of their comrades getting killed by their comrade and their reverse scales twitched .
"Sorry, guys . I really hold nothing against you . This is just as you see it, me killing you for no reason . "
"Stop! I said sto . . . "
As an Argonian who looked like the leader came out, Jon teleported behind him and thrust the Ebony Blade all the way through then took it out so fast that a fountain of blood gushed out from the leader .
"No! This is not right . This blade . . . it is evil . "
An Argonian shaman seemed to have sensed the whispers of Mephala from the Ebony Blade and shouted in a fright .
"Your have some keen senses . " Jon waved the sword splitting the Argonian from head to waist .
"Stop him!"
"Kill him!"
The bandits rushed from all sides at Jon . He thrust the blade to the side sticking it in one then waved the corpses with the blade and created an opening to retreat . An Argonian chased with a large axe but Jon's slash crushed the axe and its user . Another jumped from the side with a dagger rushing to Jon's vitals but Jon swung the blade and the Argonian's vision split . Another charged with a thorny shield but Jon took him on by jumping over and beheading him in the process .
Each Argonian tried to attack Jon was just slashed at by the sword then limbs and heads flew from their bodies . The beauty of it was the blood strokes . The Ebony Blade was not just a simple weapon, it could heal Jon and with a small trick Jon can add a bleeding effect to the blade .
Each body beheaded had a gush of blood coming from the neck, each limb, each stab, every swing were all lethal .
By the time it ended, the rust on the blade was all gone and the sharpness increased .
{Ah! I can feel their agony, their shock for betrayal swelling in my blade . }
A moan came from the blade insinuating the conscious of Jon .
==========
[The Ebony Blade] • [Awakening] (3/10) • [Absorb Vitality] • [Fortify Swordsmanship] ========== " . . . Well, it has been a week and I only Awakened two digits of the seal . It is getting harder . " Jon had to use the hard method to cultivate the Ebony Blade . Not all Blood of Deceit is equal . If one used the blood of their family, then the blade will awaken in no time . To understand the principle behind it is to understand who Mephala is . She is the Prince of Assassination and also Genocide, Courtship and Orgy, Tact speech and Poetic . These spheres made Mephala known as the Daedric Prince of Sex and Murder but that was an understanding or rather an underestimation . . . a fatal one .
Mephala is the Webspinner that connects the strings between mortals . In other words, she is the Daedric Prince of all sorts of Relationships . One can't even imagine what will happen if a social media got introduced to the current day Tamriel with the existence of Mephala . The Blade works by feeding on the strings of Mephala . The thicker the string, the more power it holds . That's why Jon not only change his appearance but interact with his victims using the faces he gained to make a relationship of any kind before he kills . It is not as effective as other methods and it is takes a lot of time but it is the safest so far . Jon looked around himself admiring how the blade made a great massacre . "Goddammit, Krilon . He did it again?" Outside the encampment, some voices could be heard . Jon hurriedly returned to his appearance and awaited . It was Isha, Galam, Mirren and Miranda . "Sup, guys? Look at this place, it's as if Sheogorath himself passed from here just a second ago . " Jon said with an innocent face . . . which was also stained with lines of blood . """ . . . """ "Krilon, what was the plan?" Galam asked with an angry tone . "Oh, Captain! Didn't see you there, you shouldn't dress in all black at night . " Jon, who was in all black, replied . "What, was, the plan?" Galam repeated . "Something something signal buzz buzz beat them . . . I may have skipped to the 'beat them' part . " "And?" " . . . Maybe I killed them all . " "You left no prisoners . " "Well, you know, Captain, the blade is a bit demanding . I finally got to remove the rust and get the blade nice and sharp . " Jon showed off his blade to Galam . The two were completely clashing with each other for the past weak . Jon didn't like the Champion of Azura for personal reasons from the game and Galam didn't like Jon challenging him around every turn . "When I say something, you better listen or . . . " Galam started making threats while pointing at Jon . "Or what? Frankly speaking, will I get Good Behavior points if I acted like I care? The plan was to come here and kill the fuckers, why keep watching them for a whole damn night?" Jon replied with a cold tone . The two seemed to be ready for a fight . As a superhuman as Jon is, Galam had the Ebony Mail and didn't fear Jon, even the Ebony Blade is not sharp enough to go through the Ebony Mail . "Okay, you two need to calm down . " Isha went in between the two . "He is your partner, control him . . . And search the camp for any letters or evidence . " Galam said and walked away . The five kept it silent from that point on . Galam, Isha and Mirren started looking around . "What's up?" Jon winked to Miranda . " . . . " She just stood there ignoring him . "Say, that guy Galam, is he okay with you as a partner?" " . . . " "Just asking . If you don't mind telling, then okay . " " . . . " "Are you always this aloof?" " . . . " "Sigh! It is about time I say sorry for the sparring day . I was putting a Codpiece (crotch armor) just in case your brother tried to crack my nuts . . . turns out we should be wary of you . " " . . . " Miranda didn't reply again but Jon noticed that her lips arched up a little . "Fine, I won't bother you . " Jon said and turned away . "I don't like the way he looks at me . " Out of the blue, Miranda spoke . " . . . Oh!" Jon didn't expect her reply so he turned around only to see her go away . "Hmmm . . . I see . " Jon looked around and reached to his pocket, he took out a bloody piece of paper he salvaged just a while ago . "Hey, I found something . " He then called out raising his hand up . The others looked at him and came closer . Galam opened his hand demanding the letter . "Looks like the Great House Indoril is tipping the Argonian Marauders on the supply wagons that travel from Mournhold to Narsis . This nickname on the letter is the same one from the shell company that the Indoril use for shady business . " Jon seemed to have immersed himself with the letter before handing it to Galam who snatched it away . "Hm! This is bad, we should report to the Old Woman . " Galam said . "My thoughts exactly . " Jon replied . "What do you mean by that?" "Nothing in particular . I don't think I am here to tell you your job so don't bother with me . " "We didn't hire you to think, Nord . " "Great, so don't make me feel like it's a vacant role . " The two went in another argument . "For fuck's sake . Let's go home . " Isha became fed up with the argument and left first follows by the Altmer twins then Galam . "Your mess to clean up . " Galam said and left . Jon stood in his place with a smile . "Nefertiti, did you do what I ask?" He asked . "Yes . " Nefertiti, in the child form, appeared while dragging a large sack with something quivering in it . Jon pointed the Cube Ring in his hand toward her and the sack and took them in . A mischievous smile appeared on Jon's face as he snapped his fingers and sat everything on fire .
