"A Dossier of Sly Cooper: Master Thief"
Written by Black Rosettes
From a tale long beginning,
Of a raccoon child, perched
On his father's knee, a
Story of his ancestry was
Disclosed; how only those of
His lineage earned themselves a
Spot of notoriety, having outlasted
Time and villains, reaping riches
Beyond measure—from other thieves.
But an unscheduled appearance of
The Fiendish Five, driven by
Greed, managed to take all
From the lad—his father's
Life; and born was revenge,
For the child survived and
Matured within an orphanage, waiting
For the day to reclaim
What's his, and restore tradition.
On the brink of his
Teenage years, the raccoon befriended
Two fellows, now called friends—
Bentley, the Brains, and Murray,
The Brawn, and together they
Conspired to gather the missing
Pages of the Thievius Raccoonus,
The invaluable raccoon family heirloom…
Conceived by thieves not made.
