-Break-

  Φ It kind of weird to just be sitting here doing work. Ihan a week Gevurah might attad destroy everything on Skydust, I just guess it really hasn’t hit me yet.

  I heard some people have started panig, while others have started to devote themselves to their craft even more. I guess if our try is going to be destroyed, they at least want to reach the pinnacle of their craft.

  Pumping myself up I say, “Then I will do the same, I will bee the best pawn shop in all of Skydust. But aren’t I the only one in Skydust, doesn’t that make me the best by default.” Realizing my greatness, I let out a ugh of victory.

  Suddenly I hear a smag sound, then, “Hello.”

  Looking down, I see a small boy no older than 10 years old dressing in a e with a crest moon mask. But, behind the little boy is a giant bag of stuff. “Hello dear er, what I do for you today.”

  Staring directly into my face the boy says, “Why do you look like that?”

  “Look like what?”

  “A disfigured troll, why, I would like to know?”

  “HEY, YOU LITTLE BRAT DID YOUR PARENTS EAANNERS.”

  Frightehe kid says, “Sorry, but should I really be o pawn scum like you?”

  “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY YOU BRAT.”

  “I just called you what you were, a low-css man who pawns things off people instead of actually making anything. Now let’s get to business.”

  “Hey, you brat, you must be misinformed if you think I am just your average pawn shop owner. Listen here, everyone on this isnd is a sociopath so if any little thing they make is imperfect they either trash it or sell it to me.

  But what they call trash would go for about 5 gold s anywhere else or 750,000 lupas. So, I buy their trash for pocket ge, then resell them at high prices. Despite being a lowly pawn shop owner, I happen to be the third most affluent person on Skydust.

  I am the ultimate pawn shop owner, unmatched in heaven and oh, the one who causes wars to stop at his presence, L?i.”

  Looking down, I see the little boy g his hands, and says, “Cool, how cool, then that means I trust you. Thieves and pawn shop owners have always been friends.”

  “You’re a thieve?”

  Sweat starts to tickle down the boy's face, theurns it to the side and says, “Did I say thieve I meant relieved, I am relieved that I have the best most handsome pawnshop owner in the world.”

  Happy I say, “Well since you seem to know your stuff, I will let that one go. Now, what do you need.”

  Reag into his bag the kid pulls out a bunch of ridiculously high-end things and says, “Give me money.”

  “What the hell, where did you get this stuff.”

  “I found it ying oreet.”

  “Do you expect me to believe that?”

  Throwing a tantrum the child says, “Stop overthinking things, don’t you want my stuff.”

  “Well, I ’t deny that.” Now how should I rip this child off. While examining the things he hao me I say, “All these things belong to dy Dush.”

  Using my arm, I grab all the things he pces in front of me and bring them behind me.

  “What are you doing, aren’t you a pawn shop, just give me money no questions asked.”

  “That’s not going to happen. Everything on Skydust is made by someone p their hearts and souls into their craft and to steal that is to spit in the face of all of that, not a single person here would buy that stuff off of you. So, hand over all that other stuff.” I say reag out my hand to grab him.

  Jumping back, he says, “You suck, BLEH.” But as he jumps back, he nds in the arms of a young boy with snow-white hair.

  Φ “Hey little boy, just know if yoing to rob someone, A don’t walk around in a e that obviously makes you look suspicious, then B don’t carry all the stuff in a bag with the crest of the person you robbed on it.”

  From my right I hear, “Anto, we got to run!”

  Looking over in that dire, I see someone in the same kind of e as the boy but more femihe is also holding a box over her head.

  While looking away, I hear the boy move his hand towards me so I move my head away. But he mao cut me in the side of the head, looking at his hand I see he has a dagger which looks like a legacy.

  Despite his attack, I keep my grip on him and say, “Your too slow.”

  The boy throws his dagger in the dire of the other and sticks out his to me. Then suddenly he disappears, and the box the other was holding appears in my arms.

  Looking over to where he was, I see the other holding the boy in her hands. I go to give chase, but then I feel something e over me and I fall to the floor.

  Φ Finally catg up to Orb, I say, “You really didn’t have to walk so far ahead.” Looking up I see 2 s with one holding a bag of stuff. Their clothes just scream we robbed that old hag.

  Walking up to Orbs ched over body, I say, “You ok!”

  Suddenly ets up and puts his hands on my shoulder and says, “Atanta we o go have sex right now.”

  “Huh, what.”

  “Atanta did I stutter, we o go sleep with each ht now.”

  “Wait, but why the sudden ge?”

  “Because I really just want to -sor- you in the -sor- all night long.”

  Did he finally e to his senses, wait Atanta think about this logically. “Hey you brats, what did you do to Orb?”

  “Idiot, why would we tell an ugly girl like you, isn’t that right Anto.”

  “She is so pretty.”

  I use this. “Please Anto help me, my brain is too small to figure out what you did.”

  “My legacy has the power to ihings. So, I used it to ihe order of importan that boy's mind. The least important thing in his mind became the most important thing.”

  “Anto, you stupid idiot, don’t just tell her that.”

  “You’re a stupid idiot, you idiot.”

  “The order of importance.” Realizing what the boy just told me I get angry.

  “Atanta, right now the most important thing to me is to bed you, I have no time to waste.”

  “Even when you don’t try, you still mao insult me Orb, and I have had enough.” Pumping spirit energy into my right hand, I crash my fist down against the back of his head.

  Getting up from the floor, Orb looks at me and then throws up. “I didn’t mean to hit you that hard are you okay.”

  “No, not at all, I just realized what I just said to you, and the very thought of it is far too disgusting for me. Oh god, am I going to throw up again.”

  Running out of his shop, a man says, “Give back those things you stole, if you do it now there will be no punishment.”

  “We refuse. It goes against what teacher taught us.”

  “Thieves rule number 3; those who get robbed are at fault, it sucks to suck.”

  “WHO THE HELL TAUGHT YOU BOTH THAT!”

  “None of your business.”

  “Bleh,” Anto says as they both run off.

  “Orb they’re getting away; you better hurry up.”

  “I know, I know,” Orb says heading in their dire.

  Φ Using snowboost I get up onto the rooftop they were both on in seds, “It is time for revenge yrats.”

  “Mime it seems he is like us.”

  “He is so handsome.”

  “Mime, focus!”

  Using their moments of versation I try to get close, but the Anto grabs Mime and throws his dagger, then just like before an object appears in pce of them. Looking over in the dire of his throw I see them both running across the rooftops, so I give chase.

  They are both rather nimble and fast. As they run they make very effective use of the enviroo hide, if it wasn’t for my hearing and sense of smell, I would have easily lost track of them. From the way they acted, I thought they were stupid, but these two are quite skilled.

  Sending some of my ice forward, I see them both jump through a window, so I follow them both through the window. As I enter I see we are all in a long corridor with a window oher and a set of stairs towards the right.

  If they go below me, I freeze them with ease, so I am guessing they will head for that window, all I got to do I catch up to them. In a straight shot, these kids have no way of staying away from me.

  Using snow boost, I dash forward towards them but Mime takes a dagger out as well, and then she seems to activate a lega it. She strikes the ground and the walls, which causes them all to burst open and i sending debris flying my way.

  I manoeuvre and dodge it all using the walls as footing. When I finally gain some nice footing, I use snow boost to dash towards them but then they disappear again and I am hit with a metal blo my face. “Now it is personal.”

  Dashing out of the window, I jump on the rooftop they are on, and using most of my strength I create a massive wave of snow that I turn to ice trapping the two s' legs.

  While they are bound, I say, “Awo legacies, I might really be cursed, though it is strange you both have simir powers.”

  “There is only one legacy here.”

  “Me and my twin sister share one.”

  “Because we are one body.”

  “One soul.”

  “I see, so that expins it, your sister is tangible things like buildings, while you i intangible things like thoughts.”

  Sweating Anto says, “Your way off, not even close.”

  But to my reassurance Mime says, “So not only beauty but brains as well.”

  “Mime, don’t give away all our secrets.”

  “Shut up Anto, you did the exact same thing.”

  “No, I didn’t.”

  “Yes, you did.”

  “Shut up, you dumb .”

  “Be quiet, you tiny cat.”

  “Don’t call me I cat, they're all demons.”

  “Then I guess that suits you rather well.”

  “I hate you!”

  “I hate you too!!”

  “Both of you o learn to be nicer.”

  “Yes, I will,” Mime says.

  “YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!!”

  Letting out a sigh I say, “You both don’t seem to realize what trouble you're both in, you stole from the richest person in this city, do you really think there will be no punishment?”

  “We don’t care about that as long as it helps us reach our dream.”

  “Your dream?”

  “Me and my brother both wish to one day have a house pletely posed of dy and chocote.”

  “So, no matter where we are inside, we eat sweet things.”

  “You both could have just worked hard for that.”

  “Thieves rule number 4; nothing tastes better than food you didn’t pay for.”

  “Your teacher o be sent to prison.”

  “Sorry, but I ’t let that go, even for someone as beautiful as you.”

  Raising her hand Mime tries to strike my ice with her dagger, but I vert some ito snow theend it and freeze over her hand.

  “Sorry, I will undo that soon.”

  In my peripheral vision, I see Anto throw his dagger towards Mime and when it is directly in the middle of them both they sotions, Anto catg his thrown dagger. Mime then uses her dagger to i and break my ice.

  They both make a run for the edge of the building and jump off of it. Following close behind I use snow boost to close the distance, but Anto throws his dagger at me. I mao move myself out of the dagger way, but suddenly the sights around me ge.

  After taking a sed to realize what happen I see I have ged position.

  “Get out of the way!” I hear someone scream. But it was too te, I am hit by a Buffanoa a flying. Soon after, I nd in something mushy, getting up I see that I am covered in shit.
