I’m one-quarter fae on my father’s side, but I pass for human, which is
the best of both worlds if you ask me. Other fae underestimate me,
humans accept me as one of their own, and my latent magical abilities
are invaluable to my questionable and sundry career choices.
Whatever needs doing, you can bet I’ll get it done.
For instance, at this very moment, I’m slipping unseen through the
shadows of Ralossi Palace’s labyrinth of hallways. Down an old, stuffy
corridor, wiping errant cobwebs off my face, I sneak ever closer to the royal
family’s wing.
Silent as a sleeping tiger, graceful as a gliding swan, deadly as a daring
—no, wait. That’s a lie.
I’ve never killed anyone.
I’m just good at making their things into my things.
But I could be deadly if I wanted to be. Which I don’t. Because even
though I’m a thief, I do have morals.
I’ve been stealing to get by all my life. Well, practically all my life. As
far back as I can remember anyway. Don’t judge. I have my reasons. If you
knew, you’d understand. Maybe. Probably.
Alas, my life of crime will soon be behind me.
Luminia is a different land now, so they say. Fair and equitable and just
and boring for everyone, not only the royal bloodlines. We’ll see, I guess.
If it’s true, there’s no need to steal to survive anymore.
A pity because I’m excellent at my trade. The secret pockets sewn
inside the lining of my vest are stuffed with various jewels, shiny trinkets,
and little souvenirs from each noble whose room I’ve managed to burgle
during my time here within Lemossin’s walls. Nine so far.
My goal is a nice round ten.
After that, I’ll leave behind the snobby inhabitants of this snobby palace
in this snobby city and head home to farmlands outside of Irondale, where I
belong.
Not that there’s anything left for me there. My home is gone, and so is
my family.
One last hurrah and then I’m off into the night, southward bound.
But who’s to be my next target?
Only a member of the royal family will do for my last heist. Shall I go
after the new queen herself? Or perhaps one of her brothers, the two prickly
princes?
The royal wing of the palace is guarded, but I expected as much. The
three guards on duty, milling around and picking their noses, won’t be a
problem for me. A simple spell will do. One I’ve perfected over the years.
With a flourish of my fingers, I send a revolting whiff of passed gas
wafting in their general direction.
Like a charm, the first guard sniffs, scrunches his nose, and glowers at
his comrades with distaste. “If you have to drop a load, just say something.
Don’t stay here and make me suffer.”
“What?” The second guard catches the scent, his face twisting in
