The dead end that was chosen by the dragon perfectly fit the occasion Despite the good weather and shi+ning sun, two shops shi+elded it froon walked into the alley, filled with anticipation for the upcoht, even round, shrouding the entire alley with a chilly breeze and dark spots

Nisha passed by various miscellaneous items, such as broken crates which held items the shops had delivered, various scraps of spoiled foodstuffs, a ragged coat fro of the sort underneath, and even a broken dagger, cast aside by someone who had dealt with other people in this place in the distant past

Grinning like a child who just got a bunch of candy, the elven girl stopped in front of the wall that signalled a dead end, turning around and waiting for her pursuers to show their faces

While she hadn’t had any issues with her vision, both her innate nightvision froht] covering any blind spot, the thieves weren’t that lucky

Scanning theave up the pretense of silently following her and accepting the invitation for a shon, the dragon suddenly picked up a detail which only widened the feral grin on her face An unexpected elest the crowd, yet it would only serve tofor her

All in all, they really underestihters that were mainly on the second level and only a few of the third level, they really ought to be wondering how she was able to effortlessly take the purses of h second level thieves At least they should have estih end of the third level, or even the breaking through into the fourth

Well, I should be breaking through to the third aura level soon, but if I tell thee that their hearts ht stop

While the festival in the harbor was still on going, her very own festival started to coagulate as well So far, she liked this situation farat the festival

Okay, maybe not the fish on a stick, but besides that, this is so much more fun

Contrary to her exhilaration, thereood tiroups: the pickpockets entered first and didn’t e surpassed their fear They finally irl that had eain! How often did they return to their hideout after a big haul, only to notice that their purses, that had beenfilled with shi+ny coins, had been replaced with pebbles

After exchanging their experiences and recounting the appearances of their victiirl, even younger than their youngest thief, who had bested them all

Their lithe builds were clearly focused on agility and speed to reach perfection in their trade However their thin fra at the second rank wasn’t just for show

Glancing around, they entered one by one, walking down the alleyway, spreading out in front of Nisha while glaring at her

The second group of thugs entered directly afterwards, grouping up to block the entrance and seal her escape route

With uys were froleader when he collected fees This time, they moved as a favor for a related branch, who hadn’t told them much besides the need for brahen they made their request

Nervously roup due to the unnatural darkness and coldness inhabiting the passage - only the two fighters, ere at the third rank, were able to fight off any creeping fears - their huge bodies slowly advancing Originally, one or tanted to tra halfway down the alley and whoever was under it, however the oppressive dark air got to theonize anything else in this abyss and evaded the figure on the ground with a slight arc

Of course the dragon turnedsince retrieved one of her [Taurith Short Swords], her figure only added to the air of oppression, bea her feral s pickpocket He was a since established a reputation aather the aid of the protection business without too much details

Scowling angrily at the reason for his recent ain toto pickpocket Nisha every time he spotted her in a crowd - the thief stepped forward after the foret wouldn’t be able to escape

“Look e have here! The petty thief who doesn’t abide by the rules! And you even prepared a weapon Do you think you can stand up to us? Today ill pay you back for all the losses we suffered by your hand”

No matter what happened, he needed her to attack now and teach her a harsh lesson, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully in the future As long as nobody questioned the events that were about to take place, he still had a chance to recover these favors in the future

Unfortunately, he wasn’t dealing with a normal thief How could he have known he had stepped on the scales of a sleeping dragon?”

“You’re calling me a thief? That’s funny What exactly do you think I did that allows you to call me a thief?”

“You lying imp! No matter what lies you spout to cover up your deeds, the thieves guild will punish you for breaking the rules, so that you will never have a chance to disrespect us again!”
