In Search of the Call of Destiny

             "Tale was left asleep somewhere in the dead sea...                Heat is rising from the rippling waves...                And now the Call of Destiny...shall echo again"

+*.｡..+..｡.*+

               Long ago, on the peaceful shorelines of the American continent, resided a city controlled by two kingdoms that came to union after their children got married despite the long-time grudge between these two kingdoms.. The streets were at peace, the fishermen worked together, marketing was at its best and lively. Other things that stand out are tales about infamous inhuman pirates under codenames of Windy Jonny and Phantom Thief. Some admired them, while some hated them, but respected them.. However, no one knows what had happened to these two. Some say after Windy Jonny retired, he was taken to the "Dark Island" where he met his end. As for Phantom Thief, some say his apparent execution was faked, while he is still living likely undercover.

               Just as everyone thought Phantom Thief's criminal street life before piracy was over, they were wrong... Someone replaced him, and that someone is related to him by blood. Her codename knows even the kingdom... A relatively tall young girl around 17, possessing demonic wings, tail, sharp white horns sticking out from her head and fluffy wolf ears. For a street thief, she looked somewhat well-dressed: white but sort of dirty buttonless shirt that exposes her chest and abs and possesses two tight belts around her waist: one is black with a large golden ring and a rope attached to it, and the other is brown, holding a gun swept to the left. Her pants looked fashionable and probably made out of animal skin, and her boots were somewhat dirty. The feature that stood out the most was a black necklace with a unique symbol: four-tipped star rimmed in a thin oval and two lightning bolts crossing it. As soon as people saw it, there was no doubt; this girl is Phantom Thief's daughter. The one and only Thorny Menace...

               Once, on a sunny day, the guards of the Longclaw Kingdom patrolled the royal grounds to keep the territory at peace. While everyone was busy, two guards snuck out to finish eating breakfast that they never started since they overslept "Goodness Jesus, finally we did it" One of the two exclaimed preparing to eat his meal. The other caught up "Agreed, but that's what we get for getting up late today-" "Are you serious? I swear, if the Queen hears about this-" "Uh..." "What?" "Harvey... Your bread... It's gone" "What do you mean it's gone?" The first guard, Harvey, looked at his hands and was surprised that his meal suddenly disappeared "Wha- What?! Where did it go?!" "Well, I don't know- It was gone in like- in a blink of an eye!" "Don't be ridiculous Earl, you know things don't disappear just like that!" Harvey complained and then his friend, Earl, sighed in distress as he prepared to eat his breakfast too "Maybe you're right, I'm just seeing things.." Then Earl looked at Harvey who stared at him shocked "What? Harvey-?" "Y-Your bread's also gone..." "No way-" Earl checked his bag and saw that it was empty "What?! How?! It was literally just there!" "Are we cursed?!" The two kept on panicking. Little did they know that the culprit behind the evidentless theft was Thorny Menace herself...or should she be called by her true name Nya InkDemon.
                Nya put the loaves of bread into a bag she carried with herself and laughed "Heheh, aunt Rose is gonna be proud of that. Unless she doesn't ask where I got 'em from-" "THERE SHE IS!! GET HER!!" An angry voice sounded from above. That meant only one thing: Nya got caught "OH! MY! GOD!!" She ran as fast as she could 'Bloody HELL, these guys are smarter than I thought!' "DON'T LET HER GET AWAY!!" More angered voices of the guards sounded from afar, they gave a chase. As soon as Nya looked back and saw a bunch of guards behind her, she hid behind a corner of a house so the guards could lose track of her. Once they ran past, Nya sighed in relief "Heh, easy as pie-" However, one of the guards waited for her to come out and tackled her from behind "GOTCHA!" "AH-! LET ME GO MAN!" Nya yelled as she struggled to break out while the guard just 'hugged' her tighter "OVER HERE, I GOT HER!!" "NOT FOR LONG!" Nya then headbutted the guard so hard that he lost consciousness, giving the demonic-like young woman plenty of time to run away and lose track of the Longclaw Kingdom's guards.
                As the day was coming to an end, each chase that started with a theft was intensifying, which led to the city streets being patrolled nearly everywhere just to catch Nya in the act. Finally, after so long, Nya finally made it to a small residence where she and 'aunt Rose' inhabited "Aunt Roooose, guess who's back~? I've got us a buncha-" Then suddenly she was slapped in the face by a middle-aged woman with graying brown hair, tanned skin and furious olive-green eyes. It was Rose "WHERE. HAVE. YOU. BEEN?!" Nya rubbed her cheek "Ugh, bloody hell- I was doing my job, aunt Rose! I got us a bunch of food! There's enough even for tomorrow-" "How many times do I have to tell you to not go missing when it's dark outside?! First of all, I'm worried about you; second of all, have you lost all SHAME?!" Rose yelled again, more furiously this time. Nya looked unconvinced and sighed heavily, trying to change the subject a little bit "I know, I know, but..aunt Rose, I'm not a little girl anymore, I can handle myself just fine out there. Thanks to my stealing abilities, I'M able to keep us alive, more particularly you.." Rose sighed "Anyway, let's see what you got.." She took Nya's bag to see it's containments. There were spare loaves of bread, raw beef, lamb and chicken along with lots of corn. Rose smiled "That's quite the achievement.. Great job" Nya smiled out of the feeling of appreciation "Thanks...".
