In the palace of Altaza:the home of the royal Acharya family,A dark figure quietly rose up from the shadows.It slipped into one of the main towers in the castle.
Like a cat,they landed on their feet and parkour their way up the stair ways.At the top was a locked door with a golden panel that read : Royal Jewelry room (no touching).
The door was bolted shut with at least a dozen locks,passwords and other thingamabobs of kinds.
The thief thought for a moment,found an open window and slipped out.
They turned back night sky was beautiful,stars twinkle overhead.
The thief climbed their way up by using the gaps between the bricked tower.
Another open window appeared in front of the thief.
They got in,then started looking for something.
Guards were at every corner of the room.They held staffs,spears,swords,any weapon imaginable.

The figure shuddered,as if wincing because of the loud and almost eardrum-piercing shouts from the soldiers.

Clank!

Damn it! Thought Brynne.

Dark and bright at the same time.So unique.
