[IC] the island of five elements

[Vampiretwilight]

The prisoner had weakened during her time in the dungeon. She barely ate and was lucky to get any sleep.

The man glared at them all.

The queen sighed.

[Shadow Dragon]

He appears in front of her, kneeling on the floor, pale blue eyes staring into hers.

[Vampiretwilight]

The young girl fell asleep. She dreamed of her dying mother, of her smiling father, of her little brothers and sisters who were crying.

The queen sighed and her worries returned.

[Shadow Dragon]

He sits in the cell with her, gently using his power to ensure she has a good sleep, soothing her.

[Vampiretwilight]

A tear rolled down the girls face. She missed her family.

The queen sighed.

[Shadow Dragon]

He stands up, walking away, and simply appears next to the king. "He's telling the truth. His daughter's in there, and the family's in a bad way."

[Jasper19]

The king nods then looks at the man" how about this I give your family enough money to live for a year but if you try to take my daughter again there's going to be a execution "

[Vampiretwilight]

The man narrowed his eyes. His wifes' grave appeared in his mind. a year would not be enough. They'd go through it quickly as there were nine children total, including the daughter in the dungeons.

[Shadow Dragon]

"He has...nine....children, and a wife. I'd suggest giving him a well paying job so he doesn't have to steal anymore. Maybe a tax collector."

[Jasper19]

The king shakes his head" no not a tax collector " he said then looked at the man" how sneaky are you? " he asked

[Vampiretwilight]

The man narrowed his eyes, refusing to speak. but an image of a successful trip into a mansion to grab a panting and get out within minutes without getting caught came to mind. Apparently, he could be as quiet as a mouse when he wanted to be, and skilled with magician tricks like hypnosis.

[Shadow Dragon]

He leans on one arm, sorting though the thief's thoughts. "He's a skilled cat burglar. And uses mental manipulation and hypnosis to distract others, though his mental tricks are a part of his practice, not arcane. His wife.....is gone. He thought of a gravestone."

[Jasper19]

The king nods" how about I make you the spy master " he said to the man

[Vampiretwilight]

The man blinked. He thought of his children and how he'd do anything for them, since they were all he really had left in this world. He sighed and have a hesitant nod.

The queen blinked in surprise.

[Jasper19]

The king smiled" very well you will be paid handsomely '

[Shadow Dragon]

"He'll do anything for his children. Including steal from the king." He nods to the man.

[Vampiretwilight]

The queen blinked.

The man sighed and nodded once. He looked away. He felt ashamed of himself for caving in like that.

[Jasper19]

The king nods" very well release this man and give him and his family food new clothes and release his daughter "

[Vampiretwilight]

Guards nodded. they rushed off to do so.

The man sighed and frowned. He blinked when his daughter managed to run into the room and hug him, crying. She looked to be about 14/15 years old.

The queen blinked. She frowned, shocked at how old the girl was when placed in the dungeons.

[Shadow Dragon]

He looks at the poor family, and gives them a knowing smile. He whispers to them, helping the small family up. "I know how you feel."
