Since people started wondering what the lords are doing, I could only say wait for it, because I'm going to write about them the last.

Harbor's Greatest Gambling Scandal

Guy and Matthew's story

"Hey Guy! This way!" Matthew said while panting. The poor myrmidon followed his friend through the small alley. Behind the two followed few fighters and a warrior. "I'll try to hold them back. You run with the money!" Guy yelled and tossed a bag of gold to his swift friend. Guy drew his killing edge, turn around and dashed toward the fighters. Although Guy's actions were spontaneous, the axe wielding men were already ready for this. The fighters halted, drew their hatchets and hurl them at once to the running myrmidon. Guy's eyes widened at the sight of the numerous axes coming straight at him, ready to cut him to pieces. Guy quickly gave up strength on his legs and let himself slide. All he had to do was block a single hatchet and lounge again. So he blocked the oncoming hatchet and stood back on his legs. But the warrior, behind all the fighters, aimed a bow at him. The silver bow was pointing straight a Guy's left leg. The warrior let go of the string which made a 'twang' sound and launched the arrow in a forceful speed. At a nick of time, Guy let himself drop again. He somersaulted away from the angry mob and ran towards where his assassin friend took off to. His head was filled with the thought of not trusting Matthew from the beginning….

"Come on Guy! You're the only one who can help me." Matthew said to Guy. "No, I don't trust you." Guy said and looked away. Matthew quickly moved to where Guy faced. "Come on! Why not? I said I'll even write a contract for it. You know I'd keep my words." Matthew pleaded to Guy. Matthew had the about-to-cry face on. Guy couldn't resist a request with that face on, no matter what gender. As a sacaean warrior, he couldn't just look away from a helpless person. But Matthew, he over used that look.

"Alright! I'll help you. So what am I supposed to do?" Guy said finally. Smile casted upon Matthew's face and said, "It's simple. You just play look out while I do some gambling with these 'gentlemen' on the harbor." Matthew said slyly. "And I'll make sure we share 50-50 on the winnings." So Guy guarded a warehouse entrance that Matthew went into. "Sigh. What did I get myself into this time?" Guy said to himself and thought about how to win Priscilla's heart with out being cut to ground meat by Raven. Then, Matthew suddenly leaped out of the door. He was holding few bags of money. He handed a bag to Guy and grabbed Guy's arm with his spare hand. "Run you myrmidon!" Matthew yelled as he tugged at Guy. Guy, still trying to figure out what's going on, got back on his rightful balance and started following Matthew in a quick pace. "Matthew! What going on! Why are we running?" Guy asked while trying to catch up to the nimble spy. "Those guys and I were just having a fair game of poker. And I got accused of having some cards under my cloak. Long story," Matthew replied shortly. "Don't tell me you got caught cheating in poker!" Guy yelled furiously at his friend. Behind the two followed the angry crowd of gamblers. "Hey Guy! This way!" Matthew said while panting….

"Dead end! Then where is Matthew?" Guy said. He panicked at the sight of a huge wall stopping his path. "grab the rope Guy!" a voice said from above. It sounded like Matthew. So he obeyed and climbed the rope to the roof. When he got to the top, the quick assassin rolled up the rope so no one may use it against the two. "How in the world did you get up here?" Guy asked while trying to catch his breath. "Thief skill 101. We could jump on walls. Two parallel walls like the one over there, perfect for quick getaway." Matthew explained to Guy. "You got to teach ME that some day. I'll need to know everything I can to become a great swordsman." Guy said in his proud voice. "Sure, I'll teach you to pick pocket while you are at it." Matthew teased the Sacaen. The two jumped around the roof top, looking for a safe place to land on and spent the night in a warm quiet room with their so called "hard earned" money.

Back at the warehouse……

"Colm, this is the place I'm talking about." said Rennac as he entered the warehouse. But when he entered the gambling site, he saw that no one was in the warehouse, except his former partner rogue. "What happened to this place?" Rennac asked his old friend. "We all got robbed. The rest of the fellows went home but I wanted to stay and wait for you. So you won't be wandering in the dark hours." said the rouge. "Thank you, dear friend. Tell me, who doing was this? Who dared rob men at our gambling warehouse?" Rennac said. "A assassin and a swordsman, I believe. The rumor says it that the two call themselves Guy and Matthew." answered the rogue friend. "I will report this robbery to Lord Ephraim. And good luck to you friend." Rennac said and left the warehouse with Colm, the blue assassin.

Moral of the chapter: Never trust thieves.
