Akira had curriously walked into the city's libary. She was in awe at how much it had. But she could guess that there really wasn't alot than one of the more larger cities had in their libaries.
Akira walked around for a little while before a book caught her attention near the back of the libary, she was in an area that was in no one's train of sight. Looking at the book, It was covered in dust and seemed to be an old history book. Akira took it down and read the title. 'Brothers of Darkness' It was in a black binding with silver and crimson writing. There was also an insignia that she had sworn she had seen before. A black hand...
There were a few more and they all had the same insignia of a hand on them somewhere or other. She took all three that she had found to be the most informative after first skimming the books. SHe did keep the first one she found and went and sat down in a small nook, not being seen by anyone else in the libary. Akira started to read and she was becomming more and more into the information. She couldn't beleive what she was finding...

The Dark Brotherhood was infact a group of 'assassins' and 'dark wizards', composed primarily of sociopaths and sadists. now a days called a death cult. As the order began to expand, its expenses began to increase, and soon the Dark Brothers took a page from their almost unrecognizable past; they turned to enterprise. Instead of randomly selected victims, the Brotherhood began to conduct secret interviews and make its services available to those with money; before long, a thriving business had sprung up, and the profits allowed the order to afford more manpower and to employ more elaborate schemes.
Worshiping Sithis, the Serpent God of Death. The actual, literal truth surrounding Sithis is very difficult to interpret, as virtually everything said about Sithis is allegorical. He has been defined as definitely not a god, but rather, something "else". He has been compared to an extremely cold, cloudless midnight, as well as the state of mind involved in the act of cold-blooded murder.
One of the Dark Brotherhood's recruitment methods is; When a person commits murder in cold blood it is likely that the Dark Brotherhood have been watching from the shadows. The next time the murderer sleeps in a location deemed to be secure, a 'Speaker' will approach the murderer and ask him/her to join the Brotherhood.
Akira shook her head as her neck started to heat up, she could feel and uneasiness in her. This was becomming something she wished she had never found out about. But at the same time, she felt like she was understanding the world a bit better. She needed to become much stronger to stay alive in this world. If she hoped to survive.
Akira started to read again as she put down the one book and took up another. Before hiding the book with one about dragons, she had pulled down with the other three, and looked at a page with a large black dragon. Waiting for whom ever it was that had passed her to leave the area she was in.
