“And all you had to do was treat me like a living, breathing creature. There’s a reason your species is always at war with everyone around them: you can’t even tolerate yourselves. Gods forbid you take a moment to step back and realize that maybe you’re the problem,” the thief hissed. “One...

Qieane watched as he approached, considering her options. She knew she was more than capable of fighting the man, and if it meant he killed her, then so be it. The elf didn’t have anything left worth living for. And perhaps that was why she’d taken this job, particularly. She took a single step...

That may have been his intent, but Qieane was bound and determined not to go. She waited, appearing to have given up by all appearances. When he reached to pull her by that chain again, the woman suddenly swung a long leg upward, hooking it around the metal links. She wound her leg up under it...

Qieane’s head twisted to the side, blood pooling in her mouth as her cheek busted against her teeth. Her chest heaved, ragged gasps for air leaving her chest wheezing. Those red eyes flashed hatefully, then a red spray of saliva left her mouth as she spit at his face. She made no further attempt...

“I’ll sooner die,” Qieane responded coldly. She’d vomited several times along the way and her body was bruised and battered; when she got sick, she ended up being dragged. Blood caked her body, and in some places the wounds appeared deep. Qieane was crazy though, and that was part of why her...

“I don’t know, is it? Do you enjoy throwing women around?” she sneered, resisting the guards. She turned around, prepared to dart once more before she felt Dimitrius’s fist connect with face. Qieane swore, feeling her jaw crack under the force of the blow. She went down, and when her head was...

Qieane choked on her words the moment the man flung her around, and when she went down, her face hit the ground harder than she expected. She heard the crunch of her nose as it hit rock and twisted to the side, cartilage snapping beneath the force of his shove. For a moment, she though he might...

It had been a long time since Qieane last felt the cool metal of a blade against her throat. A rush of adrenaline flooded her body, and a lopsided smirk widened her mouth, curling it at the corners. “And what makes you think I’m afraid of death?” the thief spat, crimson eyes opening to fix on...

The words rang out just as Qieane snared the book, honestly believing she’d go unnoticed. It was a foolish thought, made worse by the fact that the item was held by the library in such a way that she had to use amateur tactics to achieve her goal. Taking a step back, the woman lifted her gaze...

Qieane didn’t like being in Nurum, but money was money. It wasn’t often that the thief was hired for any sort of job that involved espionage, but this was one of them. And it was an opportunity to find a new career, one that paid better for her services than the freelance jobs she’d taken for...

“I don’t think we’ve got a choice,” Qieane said a hair’s breadth before Yrael spoke again. She tugged a dagger from its place at her hip as she looked back over her shoulder. She waited for Kala to employ her cantrip, and the moment the stone shifted out of place, Qieane reached toward the...

Qieane pursed her lips into a thin line at Yrael's observation. She didn't trust magic, and she trusted mages even less. The thief was here for the job, and only the job. Her gaze turned back to the red line, staring at it as Yrael issued the command. "Wait," she said, reaching for Kala. Her...

Qieane watched the hole grow in the wall, her jaw slack. Damn magicians, the thief thought to herself. She'd seen plenty of card tricks in her life, but this was a new one. A whistle of approval left her lips as she watched Kala crawl through the gap, though whether it was the result of watching...

Qieane watched as they both dropped to the ground, her eyes nearly flashing in the moonlit darkness. It was unnatural, and though it was nearly a genetic mutation that affected her, there had been rumors back home. Demon-spawn, they’d called her. How dare a strange looking girl be better than...

By time Yrael reached for Kala, Qieane was no longer at their side. She gripped the bricks that comprised the wall with a familiarity honed by years of practice. Considering the amount they'd seen her imbibe, it was nearly impressive that she was still capable of moving as swiftly and gracefully...
