"Hey Cadet,you planning on sleeping here?" Hanabi,Head Watcher Garle's personal assistant,asked Rashen who sat in the corner of the files room surrounded by multiple documents and dozing off.It was dark out and the files room was empty save Rashen and Hanabi. She had her casual clothes on which meant she was ready to leave."To tell you that truth Mi- I mean Hanabi...I just might" He said as he took another file from the stack, "I've been through like a hundred of these files and I can barely find anything on gangs and organized crime" "Well you should know that the Watch has only been around for a few years now and most of the major crime gangs are gone and the gangs that are still present are mostly just street thugs that keep low profiles. I'm sorry cadet." Rashen sighed, "I at least thought they'd be something. There has to be." Hanabi sighed,"Cadet,how do you even come to the conclusion that what you're looking for is a criminal group just from barely seeing a tattoo on a gir
"How is she?" Asked Rashen,"The human body reveals a lot of things Rashen," started Garle the Head Watcher, "And from what we've gotten,the girl has been through a lot.""Bruises all over her body and she's heavily malnourished." Hanabi, Garle's personal assistant,added. Rashen sighed.The three of them,along with some other members of the Grittshore Watch,stood just outside the interrogation room where Almyrah was currently being questioned by two members of the Grittshore Watch."I can't thank you enough for letting me use your interrogation room Garle" Rashen said, Garle smiled and patted him on the back,"It's the least I could. I only wished I could've been more active in this case but I'm afraid I was far too busy with Macy and Ga-"Just then the two people that had been questioning Almyrah walked out,"We tried everything" one of them said,"She wouldn't talk. She's just not cooperative" said the other."This is the third day and she's still not talking" Rashen said,his voice
Madam Rosaline woke up with a brain splitting headache. She walked up to the mirror as she usually does,her long dark braids were messy and looked poorly kept,her ebony skin was pale and rough and she had bags under her green eyes.She undressed herself and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. She was taller than most women her age,her figure was curvy and her body was well toned. She made sure to scrub every inch of herself before stepping out. She breathed a sigh of comfort as she stepped out in her white puffy robes and slippers. After eating her fill,she took her precious time in freshning up and applying her make up, surely to hide the wrinkles that were beginning to appear on her face. She wore a long,red,silky dress and on top of that,a black leathery jacket. She showed no signs of discomfort walking around in her heels. She also held tightly,a silvery purse. Well fed and properly dressed,she walked out the door to her house, a house that seemed to be situated in th
In that instant Rashen thought,he had kicked Madam Rosaline right in the abdomen with so much force it sent her flying and crashing into her throne,her throne which in turn was pushed back and toppled over with the wooden frame snapping. With the fact that he wore metallic boots coupled with force at which he kicked her he should've assumed Madam Rosaline was either seriously injured or dead but he knew it was neither,he could feel it, that Madam Rosaline was extremely strong.He turned to face the children who looked far beyond what Rashen could call surprised,they were mortified. His eyes glowing bright red and his flames shooting out his back,they must've thought he was a demon or something,he couldn't blame them. He turned off his flames as he walked towards the Dontei who still laid on the floor,"Don't touch him!" Lekan snapped, "You stay away from him!" He looked like he was still trying to process what just happened.Rashen didn't stop however,he knelt down to meet Dontei,"St
Rashen couldn't breathe,he couldn't struggle,he couldn't do much of anything. He could feel the cold grip of death,it wouldn't be long now before it's finally over,he closed his eyes. Suddenly he felt instant relief on his neck and the sensation of air being forced into his nostrils. He opened his eyes but couldn't see anything,he could hear muffled voices. His senses were only just returning to him when he heard someone call his name, "Rashen! Rashen are you okay?" It was Macy. "Is he dead?" Asked Gayle, his voice sounding strained. "I can't tell. I can't see a thing in here." Macy replied.Rashen took a sharp breath and sparked a flame from his hand to provide light, "Rashen?" "Macy? Gayle? You're....you're here." "Yeah cuz where else would we wanna be eh Rashikins?!" Gayle said,his voice still strained. Rashen's head had been on Macy's lap and she had been trying to revive him by forcing air into his lungs. He slowly sat up,his flame still dancing weakly on his palm. Macy g
The walls of the earth construct Gayle made to shield himself and the others from Madam Rosaline's vines crumbled. Fortunately at the very last second and just before the vines could grab hold of them Gayle forced the earth beneath them to launch them upwards with so much force they crashed through the top floor and all the way to the roof of the building."Good thinking Gayle." Rashen said forcing himself up."Yeah but now what eh? What exactly is the plan here!" He asked breathing heavily.But before he could get an answer the building began to collapse."Crazy vine bitch is going to destroy the building we need to-" The building collapsed as large vines burst through from beneath their feet. It didn't take much for Rashen to launch himself upwards with his flames. For Rashen it was like time stopped. He was mid air, his flames dancing beautifully behind him,to his left was Macy keeping herself afloat with her wind taming and to his right was Gayle in his earth armour. They were hi
"So let me get this straight." Rashen said with sheer fascination in his voice, "You compress the air around you and focus it into a single slashing attack?""Yes." Macy replied,"And it can cut through anything?" Rashen asked again,"For the hundredth time yes Rashen." Macy replied glaring at Rashen,"Sorry but I just think that's so cool. Gayle don't you think it's cool?" "Supah cool." Gayle responded absent mindedly,"It's just that I know a very skilled wind tamer but I don't think I've ever seen him do something like that. In fact I don't think I've ever seen any wind tamer so something like that." Rashen said excited but Macy on the other hand looked terrified,her face turning a slight shade of red,"Drop it already Rashen!" She warned and Rashen complied. He didn't get why she was so against him complementing her,but then again he had never been one to understand how girls function.It was a beautiful morning, one week after the defeat of the Madam Rosaline the Queen of Thieve
It was in the evening Rashen headed home after helping Hanabi and the Grittshore Watch with the children. By tommorow they'll be set to leave Grittshore for Lambrid where they'll start their new lives.Rashen was still amazed at Almyrah's taming ability. He had never seen a lightning tamer before,he never even thought it was possible to tame lightning,there were still so many mysteries surrounding the art of Taming he didn't know. One thing he did know however was that taming abilities can be affected by strong feelings and emotions and that Almyrah living in constant fear of Madam Rosaline probably stunted her powers. He was still impressed that she could gain some level of control over her powers in such a short period. He wondered if Lekan,Dontei and the other children would also awaken their taming ability now that they don't have to live in constant fear.His thought process would come to a halt as he saw a lanky and awkward man walking towards the building with a bag over his sh
