Shang Griffin Part 4


"So how have you liked your life as a thief?" Semonie asked Red, late one spring night after a hard days
work.

"Well to tell you the truth," Red took a sip of his ale' "In the beginning I didn't much like it, but now I'm
used to it and I like it just fine."

"Good, good." Semonie shook his head, "I have a favor to ask you." Now he looked straight into Red's
eyes. "We, you and me could pull of the biggest job anyone has ever seen."

"What are you talking about?"

"The Dominion Jewel. You and me together could get it."

Do I really want to do this? This could really get us in trouble. Red looked back into Senonie's eyes, and
what he saw made him say, "what do you want me to do?"


"May I help you?" a young hustler asked Red as he rode inside the castle gate.

"yes, you may. Please take my horse an stable her please," Red swung down from his horse and handed the
reigns over to the hustler. " Oh and one more thing… do you know where I could find Eda Bell, the Shang
Wild Cat and The Shang Horse?"

"Yes sure they should be in the practice courts if you follow that path it will take you right to them."

"Thank you." Red told the hustler as he started down the path.


Red reached the practice courts and saw the two Shangs teaching a ground of young squires.

Red walked over to the fence and called out. "you too still here? Last I heard the young horse was flying
through the air with the help of a girl squire."

The two shang looked over and the fence and saw the Shang Griffin grinning like an idiot. "Oh so we have
to pleasure of being watched by the one and only Shang Griffin." Eda Bell called back.

"No, no, not any more."

The Shangs looking confused turned to there students and gave them pairs to fight against while they came
to the fence and talked to Red. "What do you mean? Not anymore?"

Red looking down at his feet gave the reply, "I was framed and Shang Judge took away my title."

Eda Bell lifting Red's head replied, "Now why don't you and I go to lunch? We can talk all about it."
Turning to the horse she said, "now you stay and watch these squires and don't le'm slack like they did last
time I left them in your care."



"Thank you for telling me what happened. I will do everything I can do to get your title back"

Red looked at Eda Bell, "No that ain't necessary. I plan on finding my own way to get my title back. Thank
you though" Red finished with a smile.

"Do you have a place to stay? I can get you some rooms if you like."

"Thank you. I would be very pleased. But only one room is necessary."


Later that night Red could not go to sleep so he laid up and thought about everything he had done and
everything he was about to do. What am I doing? I should never have gotten envolved with the king of
thieves I most go right now and tell him that I can't do this. I just can't do this. Tortall is my home I can't
steal something that belongs to my home. I most go talk to Semomie right now.

So what do you think? Tell me tell me don't be so cruel and not tell me! J/k just glad you read it.
