If you guys forgot what I was doing, I'm going to go back and save the thief. I'm already making Cailyn and Valerio worry but I don't care. Personally I have no idea what I'm doing either but let's do it anyway. "Where are you?" I mumbled. My hearing isn't that good, I have to trust on my sight. I keep getting the attention of most people but I don't really mind them.

"Stay still!" I heard the guard shout. He sounded really angry. I followed the guard's voice and noticed that they DID caught the thief red handed! But they're with laelaps, female dogs who were destined to catch its prey!

"No I won't!" The thief struggled, wanting to escape the guard's grasp. The guards grumbled,

"Send him to the court!" The Commander demanded. The loyal guards and the animals nodded and proceeded to move.

Of course, do you expect me to just watch? I maybe weak but I've got to help! I unsheathed both the swords, too heavy for me to handle, and strike one of the guards. I stabbed him from the back and took a step back. The sword is already covered in blood. I couldn't help but look at the dead guard, now covered in a pool of blood. "Oh... Okay then..." I said out loud. The laelaps suddenly growled at me and started to bark!

"Get her!" The Commander once again commanded. Everyone except the two guards are pointing their weapons at me! "Don't let her escape!" Pretty sure you all notice that I'm not good in situation like this!

I looked at the thief and our eyes met. He's motioning for me to give my other sword. I have no choice but to throw the weapon at him. He quickly grabbed the hilt and attacked the guards who were holding him down.

I didn't actually notice that one of them slashed my back! Now I got a huge cut at my back! I wince in pain as I watched them grab hold of my wrist. Oh hell no I'm going back to Rakyrgronnerok! "Sir, I got her!" The guard behind me shouted. I can feel shackled around my wrist already! I looked at the sword in front of me as I took it with my mouth and turn my head to the side, hitting the left leg of the guard.

Again, I didn't notice that the thief grabbed both of my wrist as we took of running. Wow, we're running all morning.. I didn't notice that... I swear those annoying laelaps are chasing after us! I really need some training alright! The shackles around my wrist was gone. I was confused at first but then the thief looked at me, "Come on, this way!"

I can't help but make myself feel like a liability. There I go again, thinking negative! What do they say? Think positive? Yeah, that must be it.

The man gave me back my sword when we hid at alley. We panted for breath, it's good that those lealaps didn't follow us here. I unexpectedly sat down and hugged my knees, heads down. I let the blood flow behind my back as I wince every time I make a move. "Are you okay?" The man asked me, concerned.

"Isn't it obvious?" I feel myself becoming weak. I heard a shuffling of items as potion came into view.

"Here, drink this!" I slowly reached out for the potion and began drinking it. Surprisingly, I feel the potion's effect flow through my body. Then I feel something behind I couldn't describe, it's not painful, don't worry! I put my head on top of my knees and closed my eyes. Resting.

I didn't fall asleep... I DIDN'T just fall asleep! Why did I fall asleep?! Ugh, Wyneria knows where I am already!

"You awake?" He asked me. "The name's Ryker, what about you?" I feel like he's looking at me. I sighed and looked at his brown eyes.

"Sylene." I said while rubbing my eyes. I touched my back to see if the cut is still bleeding. Nope, it's not! "You know it's kind of weird seeing that we were chasing each other and now we're helping each other!" I smirked. "That reminds me, where am I?"

"Still the same place! Now that you mention that we were chasing each other a while back, I guess you're right!" He gave a hearty laugh. "Sorry about stealing your money! Need something to survive!" Ryker is just a normal thief who was looking for survival after all! He's pretty well built if you ask me! Don't bother thinking about me having a crush on him! I shook my head and slowly stood up.

Of course I almost trip on an imaginary item! Glad that this guy over here caught me before my face met the drity ground! "Thanks!" I stood up and focus my balance.

"No problem!" I noticed that he eyed me for a while. Gosh, you guys know how I HATE being eyed at! It's feels like a stranger memorizing every detail! Sheesh! "Ahem..." I crossed my arms.

"Sorry!" He immediately blurted out, "You look like complete shit!" Yeah, I DO look like a complete shit! I guess I should clean this cloak off once I'm back... Nah, I don't give a fuck... Maybe Cailyn does....

"It's alrigth, don't worry about it!" I stretched both my arms and put the hood of my cloak down, revealing my brandeis blue hair. I saw he has a shock expression. I just rolled my eyes and took a peek to see if any laelaps.

"You look like you're not from here. Where did you come from?" He asked me out of curiousity.

"Nowhere!" I immediately answered. I may or may not sound angry because I have no idea where I am at. This is Glaenshire alright!

"Why are you suddenly mad, Ms. Moodswings? Are you on- oh, okay, nevermind!" He grinned nervously, putting up his hands. Okay, I'm pretty confused right now. I'm on my what? Oh, THAT time of the month. Oh... Oh...Oh. Now I get it...

"No I'm not!" I protested, just sounding calm now. He just shrugged it off and looked around.

"Yeah, whatever!" He swayed his head left to right when he said those two words. He looked at his wristwatch. "Ah shit, I have to go back and report!" He immediately shutted his mouth.

I tilt my head to the side, "I'm going to guess you're a member of the thief guild?" I crossed my arms and smirked.

"Well shit, you got me!" He chuckled. I'm not even going to notice how we ended up having a conversation. "But by the looks of it, you look like you can be a thief..." He mumbled out loud.

I put back my hood on as I walk beside him, "Me? A thief? Hah, I don't even have the skills! Did you even see me back there?" I palyfully glared at me. For some reasons, I feel like I can trust him. Do I know him from somewhere? Or his attitude just reminded me of someone? I like how this town is so dull yet the children are playing, a smile plastered to their faces! Never noticed that Glaenshire has a LOT of civilians.

Fuck it, I'm not even going to ask. I secretly fix my things behind my back. "Yeah, you suck..." He said like I'm not even BESIDE him. I accidentally punched his left shoulder hard. I took a step back, surprise what I did. Although watching him suffer seems fun. "S-sorry!"

"Don't apologize...! I deserved it!" He grabbed his shoulder as we continued walking.

"You do deserve it..." I said coldly. I watched him flinch for a second. "Scared?"

"Nope." He faked a smiled, also put on a fake bravado.

'Hey long lost drinking buddy! Where the fuck were you?' A 19 year old man raised a beer, "Fuck you for being late!" He gave the other 20 year old man the middle finger.

The other one ignored and went past the drunk idiot. He slammed the door opened, frightening the brandeis blue haired girl who's busy reading a book.

"What the fuck?!"

Who are they? Why do they look familiar?
