John felt like it was his time to step forward. He gathered all his courage, it was now or never. He walked to the flames and started talking to them. He made sure no one else could hear him. This was easily achieved because the other people seemed to held a contest in being as loud as possible. “Great gods, you should know that I am not one that likes being on the center of the stage. Still here I am presenting myself. I came here because in my line of work, luck is everything. No matter how much skill one has, there are always some factors one can’t calculate. Yet luck came easily to me. And now there is nothing else for me to learn. I give you here the gatherings of years of hard work and perfecting my profession.” John threw the sack filled with gold into the fire. “I have you known, none of those coins were originally mine. And every one of them belonged to a different owner. It has been fun and exciting, but I am looking for something new. I now can get enough money for anything I desire with ease, yet I am with no desire. That’s why I came here, looking for a new purpose. This is my true offering. Give me a mission I can follow with my whole heart and I will give my entire body and mind to serve it.”

Roxy watched the people gather. She watched them give their offerings. She rejected many of them. Her champion had to be special. He or she had to be able to repressent the shadows. She looked through the theives, assassins, and treasure hunters. None of them seemed to want it bad enough. With the rumors of trouble she wanted a strong champion to represent her. Finally she heard someone that appealed to her. 

“I have you known, none of those coins were originally mine. And every one of them belonged to a different owner. It has been fun and exciting, but I am looking for something new. I now can get enough money for anything I desire with ease, yet I am with no desire. That’s why I came here, looking for a new purpose. This is my true offering. Give me a mission I can follow with my whole heart and I will give my entire body and mind to serve it."

Roxy weaves the shadows around the man. You intrigue me. I have searched many this day for a champion. I am considering you." She walked around the man studying him thoughtfully. "Do you know how to use a knife John?"
