5th of Ash, 4623
For most of the afternoon, the sun’s splendour waned into the distance. The amber-eyed thief, whose humble beginnings started from Alistian, was currently prowling through Rioven, the capital of Couronne. It was well-known by most that the splendour streets of the inner city were merely a side that was presented and sheltered those who were high in status. At the same time, the outskirts showed the true extent of the inequality where the cunning, the cutthroat and the weak lay their weary bodies to rest.
Equally, the buildings were marred in filth and grime, which to the Draedan of Saren was more akin to a home than the glamour yet the fake reality of the inner city. Yet in this false reality where the hours meet, the amber-eyed thief was currently skulking through the alleyways, using the limited light to his advantage, seeking worthy prey to catch and line his pockets and, at the same time, growing his skills to be, able to develop further; cultivating his divinity and his divine spark.
His tattered black cloak hides his features from top to bottom; the only distinct characteristic that can be seen is his glimmering amber-hued eyes, which flow with radiant divinity. His divine energy would bleed out onto his cloak, infusing itself into the very fabric of its being, altering the colour to blend into the surroundings as a whisper was formed into a material that shrouded those—and causing those to disappear with a glance.
Once his entire being was cloaked, Jared started to check the many buildings, his fleet footwork masking most of his sounds as he touched the windows, peering inside to check if anyone was home before attempting his thievery. With his trusty lockpicks, the thief would nimbly start working away at the lock; at times, even in the open, but confident in his abilities to hide in plain sight and use his magic, the thief could quickly get in. At times, the thief would touch the door, infusing the pure refined ether into the locks and opening them with a subtle flick of using Bypass.
Yet despite all of the precautions that were taken, Jared knew that someone who was rather perceptive in their surroundings or who could heighten their other senses would be able to detect him, which was all the thief needed to be on high alert as his recent string of robberies generated a large amount of notoriety and with that, a fated encounter was waiting behind the seconds that past in time.
"Come on, Jared, just get in and out. You don't need to over-extend yourself, but push just enough to test your limits..."
