You remember when I told you that the Falkreath Sanctuary got sacked? Well, that's because the Sanctuary Mistress, Astrid, sold me out to the Penitus Oculatus in exchange for them agreeing to let the family be. The Oculatus went back on their end of the deal.

I survived, obviously. Most of my family wasn't so lucky. Astrid didn't believe in the Night Mother, but she used her own charred, burned body as a Black Sacrament, to put a hit on herself. She repented for everything, right before she asked me to kill her.

I went through with it.
