Chapter 3: First Advancement: Thief

The next day the thief hurried out of the apartment and ran down the street. Today was the day he would become a thief! He stopped outside of a place called the Fusion Bar.

This is it, he thought. He entered the building and walked to the toilet. Shuttering, he stepped in and entered the basement. There, a man was hanging upside down.

"Are you the Dark Lord?" he asked.

"Yes. I expect you're here to become a thief?"

"Yes I am!"

"Well, I announce you to be now known as a Thief!"

"Yay!" he exclaimed and ran back home.

Back at home he was confronted by his brother.

"So, bro, I guess since you have a happy expression on your face you are now a Thief?"

"Yes! I can't wait till I tell Mom and Dad!"

"Well, you sort of can't tell them." His face turned grave.

"What? Why?"

"They said they were going on a business trip, they haven't been home yet."

"Well business trips usually take more than one day right?"

"But, that's not the point. The trip was at Henesys. I went to Henesys to check on them, but they were no where. And then I went to their office and there was no business trips planned for today."

The Thief's face went grave too. "You think someone kidnapped them?"

"No, because you know our parents and they are too strong and stubborn to get kidnapped. I think they were lured away from our house for a reason. I think something bad is going to happen."

"That sounds worse than kidnapping. Do you think that someone wants us alone?"

"I don't know, but that's why I am taking you to Henesys right away."

"What? I mean I know I was going to go to Henesys anyway to train,but what about you?"

"I'll stay in the Inn in Sleepywood after I take you to Henesys. The world isn't a safe place and you know that. You saw that."

Memories of her went into his mind, but he quickly pushed them out. He had lots of things to worry about.

"Well, are we going?"

"Where?" his brother asked.

"Henesys! I want to go get a head start training now."

"If you insist."

And the two brothers walked out of their house and headed for Henesys.
