PROLOGUE:

I run deep into the town’s marketplace with a heavy cape on my shoulders, a hood hiding my face. The sun is high in the sky, and the gulls are crying up above as the merchants shout from behind their stalls—great bargains and deals at passerbys—I slip away, through the crowd.

If I listen close, the clinking of armor, of guards trailing my shadow, can be heard from afar. “Yvain!” A royal guard grunts. “Where did that bastard go!”

Though I’m nervous at the prospect of getting caught, a smirk still takes my lips, for…

YOUR FIRST CHOICE ❤:

A) I am a King, blessed with divine magic from my God—though the enemy Kingdom may have dragged me onto their lands by force as a spoil of war, it’s only a matter of time before I weasel my way out of here again, and reclaim my rightful throne.

B) Training like this with my childhood friend has always been one of my favorite pastimes—though he may have a twisted personality and we serve two enemy Kings now, as a royal guard myself I certainty appreciate the workout he gives me each time…not to mention we get to blow off steam afterward, and take turns with CENSORED, depending on who wins our fun little games.

C) I’ve never been faced with such a challenge before, it’s both exciting and terrifying, that I can’t predict the outcome of my future for once. As a vagabond mage, I’d always kept to myself and my books, until I took a job from hell and landed myself in this stink of a situation. The King and his royal mage are after me now, perhaps his royal guards, too…I don’t want to imagine what CENSORED they’ll all CENSORED, should I get caught…

D) This is nothing for an assassin and thief like me! We do this every week, and at this point, I’m surprised the royals haven’t simply given up or tired of me. I’m sure they don’t even miss the gold I swiped, but my people sure do appreciate it. Though…as much as these days are peaceful, and I hope they’ll last forever, there have been odd disappearances lately in these streets. Some say a monster has been unleashed. I say it’s rumours meant to scare us from doing business as usual.
