he inquired, his eyes scanning the young man's weary face. The thief hesitated, unsure whether to trust the captain's intentions. "I... I haven't eaten in days," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't mean to cause any harm." Captain Rodgers' expression softened, understanding the struggles faced by many in the community. He reached into his pocket, withdrawing a small pouch filled with coins. "Here," he said, extending the pouch towards the young man. "Take this and seek shelter and nourishment. There are better paths to choose than thievery."

"No, all I know is that they mistook me for the woman they were looking for, and that woman was in debt to them," I said quietly enough for him to hear.

On the screen, the lending company's registered officer was unmistakably his father's name. He looked at me, his eyes burning with obsessive madness. "Two choices." "One — stay with me. Be mine." "Two — I make sure your father jumps off the roof of his own factory tomorrow." I felt like I'd been plunged into a frozen lake. I stared at him as though seeing him for the first time. I'd never imagined anyone could stoop this low. Using my family's lives to threaten me. Did I have a choice? I didn't. For my parents, I could only surrender.

To refuse their master was cause for dismissal. Rage had destroyed Tanner's sanity. He'd killed his master, killed the man with his bare hands and then fled. Now, seven years later, he'd established himself as a professional thief for hire, one of the finest. The deft of hand talents, and the ability to go unseen by everyone, a footman's trade, worked even better for him as a specialist in acquiring items desired by paying clients. The man, Thomas Blankenship, was certainly able to pay him well. His sources had confirmed it, though they also warned he was dangerous and deceptive.

It was a far cry from what she had been just the day before. I met Joel back at the den and we went to another meeting about the shipyards. The human law enforcement had let the thieves be killed in their custody. The wolves had no leads on the potion they were sure was involved. As far as anyone could tell the men were just regular, low quality burglars. It was a long unsatisfying meeting. "Except for the fact they kept claiming to be invisible, which the police did not understand, they were normal humans," Joel told me shaking his head.

Other less obvious thieves ran sleight of hand attractions to lure in the naive. I saw a fairy peek out of the pocket of one thief, and a family of imps hid amongst the display of a florist. The brethren lived amongst the people of Nerith, but discretely, I thought. I wondered if the people of Nerith were in general tolerant or intolerant of their non-mankind neighbours.

When the shopkeeper was busy with a customer, he grabbed some bread and began running away. The shopkeeper saw him running, so he chased him down the marketplace. He yelled at the people around them to catch the thief. He hardly had the strength to run away. He was extremely unlucky, and the shopkeeper caught him without much effort. The shopkeeper was so angry with him that he began beating him. He shouted, “How dare you steal from my shop? I’ve spent all morning baking this bread. I’m not about to let some filthy beggar steal from me! I’m sick and tired of all you beggars that steal from me on the daily.”

Their armor is dark, their weapons gleaming under the faint sunlight filtering through the trees. They don’t look like ordinary warriors. They look like executioners. One of them—a massive man with scars running down his arms and a cruel smirk curling his lips—steps forward, holding my bag of gold in one hand like it weighs nothing. “You’re a bunch of filthy thieves,” he sneers, his voice dripping with disgust. “Tell me, where did you get this?” “It—it’s ours!” one of the rogues stammers, the man with a patchy beard and missing teeth. “A gift!
