I'M A PROFESSIONAL WRITER, BITCHES! Well...Kinda...
I was actually commissioned to write this one by a cat named ReaderPal.
Azarath is a world of infinite wonders. A dimensional crossroads where countless mystical and extraterrestrial species co-exist in peace. Well, relative peace. Azarath's capital, Azameta, held the Library of Azar. The single largest collection of occult knowledge and paraphernalia in any dimension. Most of the artifacts the library holds are only for display purposes, but the texts were available for anyone to read. With the obvious exceptions of any tomes with especially powerful or dangerous spells.
Those, however, hold no interest for the pink haired thief known as Jinx. The young girl worked for a Thieves'' Guild, an organization that steals from rich, powerful, and corrupt figures in Azarath and gives what they steal to the poor and defenseless. Jinx also happens to be one of their best...At least that's what she likes to tell people.
Jinx came to the Library to research a job she was assigned to rip off some rich old mage who gained most of his wealth from stealing other wizard's creations and passing them off as his own. It only seems appropriate to steal the latest amulet he created for the guy who actually made it.
The guy may be a lying, scammer, piece of shit but he at least knows his way around security spells. After spending two full nights staking out his house to figure out a way to break-in, Jinx realized the only way she could is by counter-spelling the old man's security system. And to do that, she'd have to figure out which spell system he's using. And thankfully The Library of Azar has an entire section for such spell systems.
While Jinx returns to the stacks after failing to find the right spell system in yet another tome, she catches sight of what looked like a red haired Green Martian. Huh...Don't usually see Martians in Azarath. She thought to herself. She couldn't help but think about her sister's new girlfriend; she was supposed to a Green Martian too. She shook her head and re-focused on her research.
A few pages into the new book, Jinx noticed the Martian again, but this time carrying something wrapped up in a cape. Jinx suddenly got a bad feeling about this girl, and followed her.
The Martian girl seemed to realize she was being followed and began to quicken her pace. With a flick of her wrist, Jinx sent a wave of pink energy into the running rug the Martian was walking on causing her to slip on the rug and fall. Jinx rushes to pick up the thing the Martian dropped when she fell. The Martian telekinetically sends Jinx flying to keep whatever she stole out of her reach. The Martian picks up it up just as Jinx sends another wave of energy towards a book shelf, causing the screws holding it together to fall out and making all the books (Most extremely heavy spell books) fall on the Martian.
She telekinetically pushes the books off her and sends them towards Jinx, but the thief causes the books to fall apart in mid-air. "For the record, I am SO not paying for those!" She gathers energy in her hands to continue the fight, but the pages still floating in the air suddenly came together and formed a cocoon around her.
As Jinx struggled to escape the magically bond pages, the Martian turns invisible with the thing she stole. A group security guards surround Jinx pointing guns at her. One of the guards gets a good look at her and exclaims, "Hey isn't that one of Arella's kids?"
"Yeah, it is," Another one, a thin wispy man with patch of hair on his chin and gold accents in his uniform denoting him as the head of security, said as he released Jinx from most of the book pages, leaving only a few still bonds around her wrists. "And she's a thief just like her mother."
Jinx just smirked, "Aw, what's wrong Zever? Still sore that mom stole all that fairy dust you had smuggled into Azameta illegally?"
Zever's faced turned a comical shade of purple when a number of his subordinates began snickering under their breath. Jinx's Mother really was the greatest thief Azarath had ever seen, and Jinx idolized her. Stealing Zever's illegally gained dust brought a lot more supposedly illegal activities of his to light. He was never convicted of anything, unfortunately, but he did lose his tenure as head of the Azameta Security Council. It's been over twenty years, her Mother has gone straight since meeting Arella, (A/N: She went straight after meeting a woman, bet that's never happened before...I'm not apologizing) but Zever has had it out for her and her kids ever since.
He roughly grabbed Jinx's arm and pulled her towards the exit, "Let's see, destruction of public property, and theft of a priceless relic from the Library of Azar. You should feel proud of yourself, you mother never caused this much chaos in one day."
Jinx struggled out of Zever's grip, which was surprisingly easy considering she was a girl barely in her twenties and Zever was a much older man, (Mages really need to start working on their upper-body strength) "Okay, wait! I'll admit the book case, and all the books were my fault. But only because I was trying to stop the actual person who stole...Whatever it was."
"Oh, and who was this other person?" Zever asked, clearly not believing her for a moment.
"I don't know! All I know is that she was a Green Martian."
Zever scoffed, "Please. Everyone knows there hasn't been a Martian in Azarath in decades. If you're going to lie, at least come up with something more believable."
"I was fighting her!" Jinx shouted jerking away from Zever, but was grabbed by two of his subordinates. "You can check the security cameras; we weren't exactly subtly about it."
"We did check the cameras," Zever said with a satisfied smirk, "And we didn't see anyone other than you blowing up the Library."
Jinx narrowed her eyes at him, "What...?"
"Looks like even Arella won't be able to keep you out of trouble this time. Call the city guard, and have this girl carted off!" Zever ordered, smiling as Jinx is taken away.
