Chapter 4: Thief in the night

Alexia and I walked up to the Kaffra.

"Hi, can you send us to Alberta?" The Kaffra looked down at me and smiled.

"Why of course." She held out her hand.

"Yeah, well, ya see, that's the problem. I really don't have any money."

"Sorry, but I can't do it without the money."

"I'll pay for them, I'm going there anyways." Alexia and I turned around to see a thief walk up behind us. "Here," She handed over the money and we were transported to Alberta.

"Thanks, um..... I'm sorry, I didn't catch yer name."

"I see, and that's important why?" She quirked an eyebrow at my question

"Well it's not; I'd just like to know." Wow, talk about touchy.

"Oh, ok," She laughed, "My names Mandis."

Mandis

Name: Mandis Daelome

Eye colour: Misty Blue

Hair colour: Red

Distinguishing marks: None (which is always good for a thief.)

History: Mandis is very secretive about her past; she keeps to herself and tries to avoid forming bonds between people. Her only real history is before she was a thief. She grew up in Morroc but left at the beginning of the civil war, she came back later to become a thief, then kind of fell of the radar.

"Cool, well, I'm William, and this is Alexia," I pointed over to Alexia who just gave a short wave and went back to her business; she was talking to a merchant about a rather pricy bow. I suddenly remembered what I was supposed to be doing. I held out the picture of Iciris to her. "Have you seen this boy?" She pulled it out of my hands and looked at it, and her eyes lit up, "Have you?"

"What? No, he's just got some pretty cool eyes that's all." She handed it back to me. "I bet he's not a thief, eyes like that wouldn't be too good for a thief." I fell back to the ground.

"Not again," Alexia rolled her eyes and helped me up.

"What's with everyone's obsession with his eyes? They're really not that interesting." I brushed my clothes off and looked around.

Wow, that's a lot of Merchants! The whole place was packed with them, like cockroaches in a McDonalds' bathroom, what is a McDonalds anyways? What ever. I turned back to Alexia and Mandis.

"Well Mandis, thanks for your help, come on Alexia, we better get looking. Alexia just waved me away like an annoying bug or something; she was really interested in this bow.

"Hey, why are you looking for this kid anyways?" She asked, eyeing me suspiciously, what was with people doing that?

"Oh, nothing, just a friend of mine that disappeared," It probably wasn't too smart to go around telling everyone who he was.

"I see, need any help?" She asked.

"Well sure, the more the merrier, and of two heads are better than one then three are better than two right?" I asked, and then I looked over to Alexia, who was fixated with the bow.

"So, you're saying this bow will make me a better shooter?" She asked, the Merchant just nodded with a broad smile. "Wow..." I laughed.

"Well, maybe two and a half." Mandis just laughed.

"Well, I'll be back, how about we meet back here in an hour; I need to go replace my Main Gadge."

"Sounds good." I relayed the info to Alexia then headed off to look for a merchant that good give me a good price on a staff, I had a little bit of money and really needed a weapon.

A/N: Sorry it's so short but I got to leave class soon. R&R plz.
