Kraft was annoyed. Something bothered him. He could use this thief but he certainly had no grip on him. What could buy his loyalty? The thief seemed to like women. And gold. But he didn't break. He didn't obey fully. Kraft was getting used to his high position now and his other servants bowed whenever he passed. He had a large share of followers in Delfia and the other cities of Etruria as well. Most people didn't know his face but they knew his name. They respected him out of fear or out of belief. After all. He was the prophet.
He sat down and poured himself a glass. He had locked his office and didn't want to be disturbed. His hands were shaking. It was getting worse.

Elise knew Hiro was a good person, well as good as he gets. Sitting next to him she put her arm around him. "So, what do you mean by I owed you something? Hunny I've had better then you so I know you can't be talking about that." "Hahaha, gonna let her talk to you like that Hiro? Anyways this is what he means." Tom dropped the bag on the counter. "He paid your tab off and his, then useing the leftover for both of your tabs."
Hiro's head dropped becuase of the way his friend's were talking about him. A few hours passed while Hiro and Elise drank away the tab almost dry. It was now ten and both of them were drunk off their minds. "Hey Hiro! I'm bored wanna go back to my place." "I think I needed to be somewhere... Oh yea now I remember it was your place, or was it more important. Bah who care's I need to feel a real woman after that thing that called itself a girl." Hiro and Elise both left to her home.

Wakeing up Hiro noticed the sun was riseing. He had a splitting headach but he was used to wakeing with one. Looking to his right Elise was laying next to him, both still naked. Sneaking out of the bed he got dressed and started to turn the know. "Leaveing without saying bye? So unlike you, atleast towards me." Turning back he gave her a half smile then went back to the bed and sat on the edge next to her.
"Promiss not to tell anybody, I'm not even spose to tell you this. Remember that bag of gold I used to pay our tabs? Well I got that legaly. I know crazy huh, a theif like me makeing an honest buck. I had to do illegal things to earn it, that guy that I 'killed' I broke into his house and stole some papers from him and it just happened, he killed himself. The person that hired me was Kraft himself so I'm the man in the shadows for him now I guess." Elise just looked at him for a moment then sighed. "You know I worry about you sometimes, one of these days you're going to get killed doing that stuff. I know you don't care but if you really haven't noticed you've only got me and Tom left becuase everybody left you when you desided that you was going to be that way. What would I do if you were to be killed? Your my best friend."
She couldn't see it but Hiro was smileing. He stood up "Get dressed, we're going to my place real quick. I still have all of the documents I stole, I'm giveing them to you for safe keeping. If I die by Kraft or while doing his dity work take him down with them papers. I'm working on trying to find away to bring my connections to him but there isn't anyway for me to do so right now. I'll prepair a place without him knowing just in case it comes to that. I would hate to do that but if you're so worried about me I'll risk my job and my life for you."
The two went to his place and he gave her the papers and she left to her home again to hide them. He sat there thinking what to do next, and how he was going to get a message to Kraft.

Kraft was furious. He had waited for two hours on the damn meeting place. He was mad. He had left the tomb and ordered guards to be stationed there again. He tripled defences on the castle and got his bodyguards ready. Kraft would teach this thief a lesson when he'd come back. Oh, that thief would learn his lesson quite well. Normally he would've grinned, but right now, he was too angry, too pissed off, to be happy at all. Kraft wasn't a happy man anymore. Power made him happy but extremely sad at the same time. He looked at his desk and suddenly he put his knife in the wood. He calmed down a bit, he was breathing loudly. His hands were shaking again. It was only noon, now.
He started to work on some documents. The Soul Notes were selling well. Mercenaries were in place. He sent some agents here and there to have some non-followers dissappear. They would be sent on a long vacation, indeed. The church was recruiting and his official army was getting bigger by the day. There was one thing that stood in his way. The Ruler of Etruria. Why not kill him? He had killed the Marquess. His representatives at the Ruler's palace told him the Ruler knew what he was doing, but was waiting for an opportunity to stop him. So, it was simple. The Ruler had to be killed.
But who would be able to do this?

"What could I do that would benifit me the most. I could got crawling back to him and feed off of his table scrapes like a dog. Or I could stir something up and in the uproar I can get away with alot of stuff. Who should be the target of my skills...
I got it, and I could use them idiots Kraft calls his followers to do all the fighting while I loot one of the richest men in this country. But what would she think? Bah who care's if she gets pissed as long as I fill my pocket and themsome."
Hiro spent a few minutes getting ready and looking for his lockpick. He knew Elise refused to give him a key and likes to keep her door locked even when she's home, what if he forgot something there too, the witch. Checking all of his pockets then shoes still couldn't find it. Was he really loseing his touch or wasn't paying enough attention or even lost in thoughts to realize it had been on his hand the whole time.
Knowing he probly pissed Kraft off and how loose of a tounge some people had he went out his emerency exit just incase there was thugs waiting for him to leave. Moveing a box and crawing into a small hole he reached back and placed the box over the hole, crawling out of the space leading to a small room he jumped up grabing a string leading to a ladder to the roof, he climbed up and opened up the fake smock stack on his roof and climbed out and shut the door.
Checking his front door there was nobody waiting for him. Good for now he thought. Climbing down the tree near his home he headed towards Elise home, now he had his mind empty of all thoughts keeping a lookout of any guard or anybody that looked ready to pound his face in.

Half way there, so far so good. Some guy bumped into Hiro acting as if he was in pain. "Watch where you're going, you broke my arm now you're going to owe me like 10000 gold you punk. I'm a prized cage fighter and now my carrar is over cuz of your stupidity."
Knowing the man was just lying to get money out of it Hiro kept walking, this stuff happens sometimes to him and he responds the same way. "Go to hell basturd, you couldn't wrestle a lollipop from a dead baby." Shortly after a group of men surrounded Hiro. "You better pay up, we know you're loaded after stealing all of our former bosses riches you theif."
It was the group of gaurds that Hiro tricked. Scanning the group before saying a thing he noticed they had him trapped. "Well I did work for Kraft for a bit, and these guys don't know he did pay me so I guess I can try to bluff my way out of this." Speaking up Hiro kept an eye on everybody that he could. "My boss stiffed me on my pay, I knew he would so I had to get my paycheck somehow. I spent the whole thing buying my way out of Kraft's prison, why do you think I'm here now?" He knew if a fight broke loss he would lose, even if it was a one on one.

Scanning the crowd in between watching the thugs Hiro tried to find anybody that could help him. Knowing some people would gladly give their life for Kraft since he was a 'prophet' so he shouted as loud as he could.
"Somebody help me, I'm the apprentice of Kraft and these evil men are trying to use me to get to him." That had caught some people's attention but nothing else. With a sickening thud Hiro fell to the ground unconscious as a man stood over him with a club laughing.

Kraft was annoyed. He had miscalculated things. His first attempt at killing the Ruler hadn't worked. Luckily enough, he succeeded in blaming it on some noble. He wasn't important. A mere peon in the big game. As much as he hated it, he needed someone. And there was this thief. This annoying, bitchy, arrogant thief. He wanted to wear his skin. Yet, something prevented him from doing it. All of the sudden he had taken a decision.
"GUARD!" He yelled. A guard rapidly opened the door of his office.
"Dispatch 7 groups of about 10 men, right now. I want this thief that was captured here a few days ago. I want him, his belongings and arrest anyone who has to do with him. Use violence if necessary. Kill anyone that's in your way. Tell the people they're heretics if anyone asks. Don't tell people his name, only how he looks like. Give rewards, bribe and find him. GO!"
Kraft slammed the door. He needed to rest.

"Nugh" Hiro mumbled as he slowly raised his head. Hes been out for the past few hours. Thrubing pain in his head, what the hell did they club him with. "__ss _e's __ke." is all he heard, not only his head was in pain but he was having troubles hearing. Everything was blurry but he did see this much. The front door flying open as a group of 8 men come rushing in.
"We'__ _er_ to __ke him wi__ us, eve_ wit_ for_e if ne_ded" Everything was dimming again "Stay awake Hiro, who knows how much blood you lost. If you pass out again that could be it, the end of the road for you. But I'm so sleepy and I could be out again so quickly, even with this pain. Maybe these guy's are here to save me, maybe they saw what happened. Just maybe." Within seconds there were sounds of a battle going on, he seen more people rush the building and now they were heading for Hiro.
Two men lefted him up while eight more made a little bubble around them, carrying him away. Unknowing to him those were Kraft's men but all he did care about was getting away from them psycos. As he was being carried away he could swear he saw Elise. "ELISE" he yelled. "What are you trying to say?" the man to his left said. What Hiro had really said was "Orglse" just loud enough for them to hear. His body was still disorenited and the signals his brain was sending was scrambled.
He didn't look as bad as he felt, he now looked like a red head and there was dried blood on his face stopping around the top of his right cheek bone.

Kraft was feeling pleased and mad at the same time. Someone else had roughed Hiro up before he had the chance. But at least he had managed to capture the little thief. He grinned. He looked into some reports. Seven men, Hiro included, captured. One woman. A bartender. Some thugs. They all knew Hiro. He had put them all away. In dungeons. They were guarded. It might be useful to use these people. Kraft wasn't sure if they were friends or foes of Hiro, but you never know. He made sure they dissappeared and that noone would hear of them, unless Kraft wanted to. He had put Hiro under extreme care. Two nurses and a doctor watching him every moment, and a servant to get him food. And 4 men to guard him. He had been searched. He only wore a small piece of clothing, just decent enough, but impossible to hide things under.
He entered Hiro's cell. Two days had passed. His condition had improved rapidly. He smiled and ordered everyone to leave. They had things to discuss. He talked to the sleeping Hiro.
"Well, hello. Wake up, thief. Wake up."

Hiro was in a trance of deep thought, on how to get his stuff back and out if this was the treatment he was going to get. It looked to others as if he was sleeping since he kept his eyes closed for awhile, to make sure there was no distractions.
Faintly hearing Kraft's voice his thoughts drifted away. Sitting up he looked Kraft in the eye then stood. "I don't know if it was your intent to save me because you like me or I angered you but I'm glad you did. Also sorry about the other night, owed a friend a decent amount of money and had to pay it off and get a drink. Ended up spending the night with a lady friend if you catch my drift. Oh yea, a bit of useing information I found while skimming that dude's papers. You wouldn't belive how stupid he was leaveing it laying around but it's going to cost ya to get that info."
Hiro started to grin, he was going to get as much as he could before even telling him what it had. Well unless Kraft resorted to tourcher, Hiro couldn't take pain too long before spilling his guts like a school girl.

Kraft sighed. Snapped his finger and a huge, bald man with a greasy face entered. The man was looking dead serious and was casually putting on brass knuckles. After this big, awful man, a weasel-like, shorter man with long, blond hair entered as well. They were both wearing casual black with the emblem of the High Inquistor on their chest. The blond man was grinning and breathing heavily out of his nose. He seemed excited.
Without a moment to waste, the big man slapped Hiro in the face, sending him to a corner of the room. He came closer. He adjusted the brass nuckles and stretched his fingers. He was warming up. Kraft hold him back. He took a small amount of bronze coins out of his pocket and threw them at Hiro.
"Get up." He pointed at a chair. He sighed once again.
"I don't want to hear excuses Hiro. And I'm terribly sorry for what my friend here did. But you haven't been fair with me. I had put up high hopes for you. Now. Tell me what you know. I can be your friend, or I can be your nightmare."
The blonde man started laughing. It sounded like a jackal. Terrifying sound indeed. Kraft smiled at Hiro.
"Well?"
(OoC: Is it okay the biggie hit you? I'll send you a PM on of these days, we got stuff to discuss.)

That son of a bitch hit Hiro, and in the face of all places. That was almost his best feature, usely the calm headed person Hiro was getting angry. Getting up and shooting a pissed off glare at the bigger man for a moment he headed to the chair. "Sorry idiot but you brung this upon yourself." he mumbled. Grabbing the chain and before the guy could turn to get his hands up to block he slammed the chair in the back of his head sending him to the floor.
Holding the broken parts in his hand he pointed the sharpened ends at the other man. "He got what he had coming to him. And also if you touch me you'll end up like Kraft, on the bad end of a rope." Hiro knew once he attacked the man he would have to speak up quickly, just enough to catch their interest so they wouldn't attack him.

"Ha. Well, this is funny." Kraft was amused. Little did Hiro know, that the big dude wasn't the one he should be scared of. The blond one, who laughs like a jackal was worse. He was a sadist. Knives on every part of his body, a skilled assassin who loved to inflict pain upon others. Kraft tilted his head.
"I just have to snap my fingers and a dozen guards will be standing in this room. Ready to kill you. You are starting to really piss me off, thief. You lowlife. You think you can get away with all this stuff you're doing? Do YOU?" Kraft raised his voice. He didn't mean too, but this was getting to him; this worm really thought that he could stop him? He, the magnificent, the prophet, the saviour of Etruria? The apostle of St. Elimine?
He nodded at Hiro.
"Now. What do you think you're doing? Also, I think you're on the bad end of the rope right now." Kraft smiled. He was calm now. He waited.

"I die and you lose any information I had. I gave it to a friend and they made sure to hide it due to my request. But I do wonder, how well a neckless made of rope would look on you. Keep this up the people will get to see. You're wasteing your time on a theif who ditched you to have a good time when your own 'people' are plotting." Hiro kept his guard up the whole time, watching the blonde man. He was acting as if he was caged tiger, ready to attack if needed. He was using the remains of the chair as a tool to keep some destance between him and that man.
