[Color=orange]City of Thorne - Running for his Life[/color][/centre]

There were times when "it doesn't get any better than this" springs to mind. This... was not one of those times.

It all started earlier today, when he had entered the city of Thorne for the first time in about four years. He knew there was a reason he had been avoiding the capital, though he figured that if he couldn't remember it probably wasn't [i]that[/i] important. Hindsight is kind of a bitch.

So, what was the reason Ryteb was avoiding the capital? Well, it's actually quite simple. In his infinite [s]greed[/s] wisdom, he had decided to obtain the legendary blade of Kyreth-tan. You know, standard treasure hunting. Only problem was... The sword already had an owner, namely the Kyreth-tan Assassins. Apparently they had a 2000 gil bounty on his head. Insulting really, Ryteb thought, should be at least 5000.

Naturally this offer of coin attracted much bloodlust, and almost as soon as Ryteb entered the city the cry of "Get 'im!" Began the rally of the uneducated brutes who thought a ponce like Ryteb would be easy to catch. Those guys were easy enough to escape from, but soon he sensed a much more terrifying presence, that of a professional assassin, and that just made his day a perfect storm of awful. 

[color=orange]"Look, I don't wanna die yet!"[/color] he called back to his mysterious pursuer, [color=orange]"Can't we settle this in a way that doesn't involve sharp objects?"[/color]
