#swindledpath

  Sneaking up on a thief is nigh-impossible. It’s nothing surprising, really: it’s just something he’s learned in the time he has been companions with one. Still, not even those of that career path can focus on everything at once, right? Multitasking is difficult, no matter who you are!

  With that in mind, Alfyn crouches behind the nearest building after locking Therion in his sights. He packs some of the snow, forming a (mostly round) ball with a mischievous glint in his eyes. A grin is on his face as he stands, back against the wall. When this poor target steps into the perfect spot, he launches his makeshift ammo in the thief’s direction.

  As soon as it hits Therion’s head, Alfyn moves forward as fast as his legs will carry him. His arm is out, finding its way around Therion’s shoulders and pulling him into a side hug.

Thank you, your efforts in aiding the village has been acknowledged.

In a place of comfort, you will find something strange. Your bed appears to have some sort of parcel on it– it’s a box, wooden from toe to tip, with a simple metal clasp. Opening it will reveal another covering in the form of a warm wolf’s pelt… surely, this will be useful to you somehow.

But within, what you find is something much stranger. A dark, crimson blade, one that pulses with oranges and pyres like a raging fire within. Surprisingly, holding it within your hands does not bring pain, but instead a gentle and supporting warmth. Underneath it is a small note:

“ For the darkness and cold, take this light and wield its flame in pursuit of your wish. “
