Atyna was busy packing the things he would need for the trip. His guild boss had been easy on Atyna for the last six months, after all he had saved the Boss's daughter, Asano, from a rival gang. She was seventeen and it had been a heat of the moment things that happen when two young people end up trapped in a small space for two days. There had been tension between the two of them but, that warm night hidden in a warehouse, the energy changed from potential to kinetic and now the evidence of that conversion was showing. Master Nisun Choi, the guild boss, was under the impression that Atyna had killed the man who had done this to Asano. But Nisun was observant and had a different inclination of what really had happened to his daughter. The problem was Atyna.

There were three problems that Master Nisun had with Atyna. The first was racial, like the city he was between the east and the west, a half-breed. His mother was from the east and his father was western. He was a part of both but belonged to neither culture. That made him troubling as he didn't think or act like either group, he picked and chose how he acts. The second was that Atyna was like his father, an actor and a confidence man. You could never know when Atyna was setting you up or telling the truth. The final thing was that Asano had eyes for Atyna and Atyna was not good enough to be her husband. When she was around him, she acted.... Western expressing her opinion and worse, saying no to her father's requests. Atyna had probably only done honest work a handful of days in his entire life. To make matters worse, Atyna was wearing Asano's necklace pendant and family dagger in the front of his pants and Master Nisun knew it. The trouble was that Atyna was loyal, well as loyal as a thief can be to the clan and had helped setup some big jobs. Nisun needed to deal with him quietly and quickly.

The meeting that happened a mere thirty minutes earlier was quick and to the point. There was a caravan leaving town into new territory and Atyna was going to be part of it. His messenger bag was loaded with items that were "to hot" to fence in the region, so he could sell them where they ended up or killed by the guards for having them, a new set of thieving tools, a set of throwing daggers, a small bag of coins, and letters to help him negotiate and establish the illegal side of the caravan route. The merchant did not need to know everything that was coming with them. He packed what he thought he might need in a pack. He included some packets of healing herbs from his mother's shop, in case of bad water and other traveler's afflictions. He had been living in an apartment above the shop, so she could keep an eye on him.

As he came down, Asano was there visiting his mother who knew the truth at this point. She had heard from the houe staff what her father had decided. Atyna's mother slapped him and said, "I knew you would bring shame on yourself." 

Then the three of them hugged. His mother said, "Come back when you have made something of yourself." Asano kissed him to the shock of her maid and told him "Come back alive."  

As he arrived at the caravan, one of Master Nisun's lieutenants was there to see him off. A few words and a handshake with the merchant sealed his fate. He loaded his pack of stuff under the front bench of the wagon. Being told to stay out of the wagon. As he climbed on the front bench and waved to the assassin, he watched as his new fellow guard came running in, probably being chased by the guards and dive into the wagon.
