Disclaimer- I do not own the idea, I did write it. it is based on TP book the Lioness Rampant
All of you who have read the Lioness Rampant, know of Miache.
This is her story.
I was waiting for my partner to find a wealthy and stupid bag, (money person) to bring in my direction. I noticed that there was two men that looked like they weren't from around here. Most people around here have dark skin, but both of them had blond hair and strangely pale bleached looking skin (like me). They looked uncomfortable in the dockside market. I grinned and slid nonchalantly over, all innocent like. All the sudden one said something and they both looked at me. I stopped and suddenly there was this net, smothering me. I was lifted into the air but I couldn't see what was holding me up. One of the men said something and I blacked out.
I couldn't hear anything. I cracked open an eyelid. Suddenly there was a load of whispers. it sounded like the wind after a thunderstorm. it was a load of women sitting on benches surrounding a room. Someone clapped three times, loudly.
I immediately held my hands over my ears and groaned. my head felt like it was going to split in half. A woman told someone else, a servant i guessed, to go fetch someone. I missed his name. I closed my eyes again, starting another flurry of whispers. Most of the women came and surrounded me, almost making me choke on the smell of all the scented oils they were wearing. I opened my eyes as the huge door in the corner of the room opened. A man in discrete, but well made clothes. I as a thief would be able to tell that this man had money, but most others probably wouldn't be able to tell.
He walked over quickly, barely sparing a glance for the women who were simpering over him. I could tell by the way he walked and held his head that this was a man that usually got his way. When he reached me he looked down disdainfully and ordered, "Stand up, don't just lie there on the floor. Why were you going to steal from my men." I was shocked. I was one of the best thieves in the business ( at least in Carthak) How had he known what i was going to do? "One of the them was a mind reader." He said, answering my question without me even needing to ask. I have been watching you and I need you to do something for me.
As I slowly stood up, I silently wondered how he planned on forcing me to comply. I figured he needed me to get revenge on some other important politician without getting in trouble himself. I asked in a fake trembling voice, looking at the floor, " Why would one so great as you, nobility need me?" He laughed shortly, " you do that well, you know. I need you to do a little job for me. you will be paid handsomely. All you need to do is steal one small jewel." I looked at him from the corner of my eye. "Or die" He ended, as though I had asked about the weather. I looked at him for a few seconds and then nodded. "Good." He said.
If you want more review. if you don't review. this is my first time writing just so you know.
