5. Prologue V - Setting the Stage

Prologue V – Setting the Stage

A glorious room.

A room that left the residents feeling as if they were living in luxury.

It was a room suitable for a king.

However, this room belonged to a group of people who acquired it in the most dubious of ways.

This room belonged to thieves.

It was a little hard to believe that a rag-tag group of thieves would be able to steal an entire room, but for it to be in the middle of a city and still no one was suspicious of them.

This was the group that had dubbed themselves 'Volnus'.

It was quite the achievement, to not even have a photo of them flying around. They were humble thieves, and didn't like to gloat about their success. It started with just two members, but the other three soon found their way in after proving to be the best of the best. Over the course of several years they started making headlines and took the galaxy by storm.

Despite the fame growing for several years, it was only a few months ago they gave themselves a name. Spray-painted on a window of a police station, no less. Their new name is already commonplace on the news.

"This is incredible! Can you believe what we've been able to do, Brother!"

"Ah, Sister, it is indeed the most incredible sensation I have ever felt."

The brother-sister duo that founded the group gloated among themselves. Scratch what I said about them being humble, they are simply...

Cautious.

"And we can reach even higher!"

"Nothing is impossible, Sister. Is that not right, fellow thieves?"

The brother turned to the three other members. Laughing filled the room. Soon the members were downing booze and celebrating amongst themselves. Making cracks about the police force, and bragging about who did what in the operation to capture their rare alien specimen, which was kept in a cage in the brother's bedroom, as he was the self-appointed leader. No one would really argue that, though.

"And soon, my friends, we're starting an operation on such a large scale, we'll blow every thief in the history of thieving out of the water! We'll begin a new age!"

"Ohhh, sounds incredible, Brother!"

The brother laughed wholeheartedly.

"We are the elite! We are the masters! We are..."

All five members chipped in,

"VOLNUS!"
