The Blood Oath

With obvious disbelief I managed to ask him what happened.  He explained that the circle, a small group of elite fighters within the companions, made a deal with the deadric prince Hircine. The prince would give the elites the ability to transform and gain better sight, speed, and strength. In turn the elites would relinquish their souls after death, and Hircine will command them within the afterlife, for eternity.

After he explained his powers we continued on and now instead of draugr, we had to deal with the silver hand who had taken up residence in the tomb. We fought through the tomb and collected weapons and armor from the fallen along with other loot scattered about. Finally we arrived at the final chamber. A group of silver hand warriors were on us and I blocked as the first few attacked, Farkas and I fought back to back not allowing for our foes to flank us. As I took down my last enemy I turned as Farkas was slashed in the arm, he dropped his sword as he grasped his wound.

I looked around for a solution, and my gaze landed on a word wall. the blue light was faint from this distance but I could make out the word, it was "Yol" ,I had heard that before. The dragon that attacked me so long ago, had said that same word.  As the Silver hand was ready to give the final blow, I gathered my energy and shouted. "YOL!". This time instead of energy, a blast of fire raged out of me and the silver hand was thrashed into the wall in a roar of fire and ash. I helped Farkas up, and took a healing potion out and poured it on the wound.  As Farkas rested I grabbed the Shard that was placed on a pedestal and we left the tomb.

We made it back to Jorrvaskr without another issue. I was greeted with cheers and slaps on the back at my success with recovering another shard of Wuuthrad.  As the celebration and my initiation into the clan drew to a close, Farkas had told be that because of my valiant and impressive display of power and skill, I had not only been accepted into the companions but offered the chance to join the circle. I entered the Under-forge, residing underneath Jorrvaskr.  Aela and Vilkas were there, however Aela was in her lycan form.  She raised her arm and Farkas cut it over a bowl in the middle of the cave. Vilkas instructed me and I drank the blood, binding my blood oath and giving me the blood of the Lycan. What happened after that became a blur.
