The thunder rolled and the lighting struck ,but the baby didn't' cry. Daine jumped up from her bed and looked into the crib. Nothing, but blankets . Her baby, her only ,child was gone .The wails of every living creature could be heard the baby of the only wild mage was gone.
Artemis sat on the hill next to the castle where knights where trained. The caravan of boys would be coming in a week or so. They would be noble pompous boys. They wouldn't look twice at her or even give her directions. All well , She would rob them blind before they could they could blink. She didn't care about their money all she wanted was to be a noble, no be a Knight like them and show them what she is worth.
'Dear Artemis why do always gaze out in to that dreadful castle?' Asked Jezebel her stout tan pony. 'They will never let you in you are not a noble plus you are a master thief !'
"Even a master thief needs some fun!" She replied. "Come lets get back it is starting to get cold ."
'You're going to be the death of me I just know it.'
"Jezebel Don't talk like that maybe if I become a knight I could protect people like the towns people here. You and I Know better than any one what it is like to have to steal because of the lords blindness to common people needs."
'Talk like that could get you killed!'
"Talk like that can make changes!" Said Artemis bluntly. "This is the year that I will become a knight!" At that she hurried down the hill .The sun had set and it was dark. A thief's eye sight was ten times better then any other person so she had no problem sneaking down the hill or in to other peoples houses .She sliped in to the city .
This is when the real fun began.
