The Young Thief

The head was still on the sand.. Cayde notices that the head's lower body was hurried under the sand only to show his head to Cayde. But who is exactly this man is? What does he wants with Cayde. And what kind of trickery did he used to trick Cayde of thinking that he is indeed a Trickster.

A week before this moment. A man can be seen standing on a rockey mountain. Staring down at a Fortress, a huge Fortress in the middle of the desert. He looks down as if he was thought to find something in this Building. A money perhaps, gold, jewelries and many many others.

He was strucked by this gigantic Fortress. Only darkness is what This Man sees inside of the Fortress. He breathes heavily as he takes his final decision. He closed his eyes, he connected every single parts of his body to an unknown force that is driven inside of him.

A force that would allow him to do tricks, and magic. Something that he's been using for over 15 years. He was a young man, and yet he was trained to do what other young man can't do. He was driven by his ambitious,to get inside of this strange Fortress.

And so as he closes his dirty palm, the wind suddenly change along with his body. It was like travelling with the most fastest horse or a vehicle on the world. The wind moves along with his motion.

He whispers "Feleus Le Rey bring me forth to that Fortress, now!"

And as he feels the process happening in his body, the wind following his body, like a tail. He could feel every energy within his body, like an electric energy flowing through his body.

He opens his eyes to see where he is right now... He is now in front of The Fortress, so closely to the wall. He suddenly teleported. He lowers his body as he moves around the walls of the Fortress, looking inside of the building. Like he's looking for something inside.

He then noticed a man sitting inside of some kind of a small chamber with table and chairs, the man inside was writing. He couldn't make out what it is that he's writing, but that's not The Thief's target is. His ambitious fills upon his mind, like a gigantic flood of water slowly drowning the people in a city.

"Bingo" He said to himself.

He stares directly to The Stranger sitting inside of the chamber. Like a wild animal looking for his dinner. When The Stranger turns around to the window where The Thief was hiding. He ducked down. So quickly. But The Stranger inside continues to write in his piece of paper on the table.

The Thief sneaks his way into the front door of the Fortress, to get inside of the building. But the door is locked. He has nothing else on him that could unlock this door. He doesn't have the keys to this door. But as he looks behind him to check if there is anyone spying on his back, he raises his hands up.

And he once whispers again to the wind. "Feleus Le Rey, bring me the key of this door." He looks at the window of beside the door of the Fortress. And witnesses a certain key, flying towards the front door. He gives the key a look of happiness in his eyes, as his smiles widened opened as the key goes Through the Wall of the Building, so that The Thief could catch it outside.

"Heheheheheh, now we're talking, baby." He catches the key outside of the wall, when the key flies towards the wall of the front door, and slowly goes through the door like a lost Ghost wandering around.

He then uses the key to unlock the door, the door opens slowly. No one was still on the Fortress, no guards, not a single person other than The Stranger on the back of The Fortress writing in his desk.

His gun appears out of his sleeves, a small pistol that is as big as his thumb. And loads the gun while he sneaks to the chamber where his target is in. But as he does so, a hint of smile in his face can be seen while he sneaks.

He slowly opens the door, like he is expecting The Stranger to come for him outside of the room. And as he does opens the door, he could clearly hear a sound of a chair moving out of the way. He the once breathes again this time has breathing for a perfect shot this time. And as he enters inside..

No appearance of his Target can be seen inside of the room, his target dissapears out of the thin air like a bubble. He saw no signs of him. This is where he started to worry. He begins to sweat rapidly as he turns around to look for him. But no one is seen around him. But when he turns his head around to a dark corner. He saw a haunting message, as if it really IS a message for him.

He saw a naked woman, chained on a dark corner of the room hiding her face from him, out of fear. He noticed the bruises of this woman, dark purple, like an eggplant. Her smooth flesh, covered in water or sweat disturbs The Thief. His face suddenly changed from scared to completely terrified.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy.. I only came here to kill this son-of-a-bitch. But now.. This is something different." He said to himself, as he points the gun out of the door. To see if his target was out in the door, waiting for him to turn. He tries to look away from the naked girl on the dark corner to focus his aim on the door, in which he left open.

The girl removes her hands out of her face to look at this young man inside of the room, a next victim of this mysterious Stranger that this Thief wanted dead. The girl makes a noise as if she wants to talk. And the young man hears the noise. He turns his head around the girl to see what she's saying.

But the young man realise that there's nothing on this girl's mouth to be able to not speak. And yet as he stares at the woman, panic is what she can see through his eyes. She points her finger to the table in which is behind The young man right now.

The Young Man looks down underneath the table with his guns aiming first under the table. But he saw nothing under there, he looks back at the woman. "What are you pointing at?" But as he was about to turn around to the chained girl, she was asleep this time. Her eyes are closed and yet he can still hear her heart beats to make sure she's still alive.

And suddenly, a hand appears out of the shadows grabbing his head, and disarms him with his weapon that he is holding. He put his head on the young man's shoulder and stares at his eyes. As he realises that he was done for right here. He doesn't know what to do. His whole body shakes in fear, like there's something resisting inside of his body to move. And The Stranger in the shadow speaks.

"Ssshh.. Don't make any noises, boy. I don't want her to wake up. We have something to discuss, Thief Ryder..mmmhhh."
