The Invisible King

Chapter 12: Roh

Chapter 12: Roh

The evening streets were wide awake with crowds of people, coming and going through the bazaar stands scattered all over the alleys and open spaces.. Lanterns were flying above, like jelly fishes acting as stars, brightening the whole town of Dansilum.

Roh in his hood, walking through the line of crowds, pickpocketed everyone who he passed, like collecting flowers in the aisle. He had complained earlier, So I'll harvest money, 'cause this is the job I was being paid for? Didn't you get the logic? If I can just pickpocket money to earn money, why do I need to join this crew and work to pickpocket money for this crew, to earn money? Wabushishabiblashu!

Xienorra told him, First of all, you're here because you have to pay me your freedom from the prison. Second, we have funds, but we need to divert everyone's attention once all people bother the guards to find their lost belongings and catch the thief, and at the same time, we'll have more money. Two birds in one stone, isn't it nice?

Pay you? Or the invisible man? Roh had asked and quickly got an answer. Our client gave me a potential list to be my crew, and the answers were through my fingers. Satisfied? Or maybe I should just pick someone else.

At that moment, he didn't wonder how this invisible client wanted him to put in the choices, because he was pretty famous and pretty cool. But what questioned his mind was Efran.

After, he went to the old wooden toilet cubicle, sorting out money from pouches and wallets to put in one satchel. He then put it in the window. Wolfy's head slipped in the window, almost surprised him, and snatched the satchel out, together with other bags. Then a snow owl followed, landed on the sill. He almost jumped when he saw its eyes popped out, bungeeing at its bloody veins like ropes.

"Oh my J!"

The owl dropped a note and flew quickly.

Date: 8-07-1710

Snowy says it is nice to meet you. You already met each other, though you might not see her in the dark in the prison because she was shy with her eye.

-Sierra

Roh arranged the letter by the date.

Snowy says it is nice to MEET you.

YOU already met each other, though you might

not see her in the dark IN the

PRISON because she was shy with her eye.

8-07-1719 - Eight words per line, and other remaining numbers were the position.

Roh gulped. He just stole hundreds of piloncitos and he would read a letter like this after. He hissed. This was all to break Efran from the prison, but they needed to confirm which prison first, and Dansilum Town was their first checkpoint. He crumpled the paper, threw it on the stone toilet bowl, and flushed.

Roh creaked the door open and was bumped to a giant soldier–six feet, huge chest and biceps like made of copper, almost breaking up the fit brown civil guard uniform. Staring his grumpy turquoise eyes at him, like seeing a cornered rat ready to pierce his shiny giant lance, as tall as the user.

Roh froze. Was he about to arrest him?

The soldier's eyes furrowed deeper. "How long would you stand there and watch me pee my pants?"

Roh came back to his senses, wore an awkward laugh, "Oh, right! Sorry! I just happen to be stunned by your cool weapon!" He patted the soldier's intimidating shoulder. "I'm gonna go now!"

Finally, he was able to release all the breath he held back in one sigh and straightly went to the quiet space of stony walkway with trees and post lamps.
