(Scipio/OC) Scipio, the Thief Lord, has grown up... but it's only been a few months and people are cheering for someone else to be caught, the Thief King... who may not be a "king" after all... but the Thief King is about to set off a trap on the ex-Thief Lord in order to please a client! But the Thief King may not be alone... "Qui viene il re del ladro! Tutti grandinano il re del ladro!" is what they'll cheer.


Perla-Regina Alessandro stood on the stage, her long white dress flowing down around her. She was a vision of angels and purity and white as the spot lights illuminated her in center stage. She raised her head and out of her lips came a ringing melody that could have gone on infinately if she wasn't confined to an auditorium that seated 50,000 people and had stone walls and a wooden stage.

Perla-Regina's voice came to the ears of one of her listeners, the Thief Lord himself, and enchanged him, giving him a wonder to behold. He looked down upon the stage and saw her glittering beauty and the glitter-studded dress and the silver butterflies pinning her hair back and her pale skin clashing with her navy-blue eyes and her black hair. Her mask was white and flying off the left were white feathers that covered her ear and curled down and brushed her cheek bone.

When it was over, when the performers came out to bow to the audience, when the crowd was on it's feet, she gently lifted the mask off to reveal her smooth face, her beautiful, natural beauty. She smiled as the crowd cheered and gave a slight laugh, as a boy with blond hair and red streaks got down on one knee and encouraged the crowd to cheer for him and looked even more happy when the laughed. The curtains closed, and the Thief Lord darted out of his box-office seat and he dashed down to go behind stage to see the white beauty, Perla-Regina.

As he came backstage, he saw the red-haired boy laughing merrily with Perla, who seemed more than happy to see a visitor. "Ciao! Can I help you?" She had a strong English accent when she wasn't singing. "Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked as he stood there in silence.

"My name is Scipio."

"My name is Perla-Regina Alessandro." She smiled. "Nice to meet you Scipio."

"Perla! PEARLA!" It was the girl who had played "Raven" in the performance. "Perla, a message from the Thief King!"

Perla and Scipio stared in wonder at the red parchment and the golden trim ribbon under the black wax with the mark of the Thief King.
