Welcome to Gaia! ::

Biwako sighed as she crouched in a abandoned apartment that sat just across the street from the abandoned palace. 'No guards, not even a watchman at the front gate.. too easy..' Biwako thought to herself as she backed up towards the door of the apartment. She left the window wide open for a specific reason. "Three.. Two... One.." Biwako counted off as she quickly bolted for the window, and in one quick fluid motion jumped out the window onto a passing merchant cart and up over the wall that surrounded the palace. She landed on the other side with a quick roll so that she didn't break anything.

'Some people saw me, so I gotta do this quick.' Biwako thought to herself as she could already hear the people on the other side of the wall talk about what they just saw and that they would run to fetch some guards. Biwako quickly crossed what looked like what was left of a blossoming garden and went through a back entrance to the palace. She silently slinked through a small room filled with tools and made her way down a large corridor. 'Gotta be some gold around here somewhere..' Biwako thought as she pressed up against a wall and looked carefully around the corner to make sure the coast was clear.

The next corridor was empty so Biwako quietly moved down it as well. She saw a room up ahead so when she got to it she silently opened the door and peered inside. 'Jackpot..' Biwako though as she gazed upon a decent amount of gold vases, pots, coins, and various jewels. She luckily found a fairly good sized bag of coins that was only a quarter filled, which she opened and began to fill with the bit of jewels that were in the room. She liked grabbing the rubies first, then the sapphires, and finally the diamonds. She of course tied up the bag once she got all she could into it while being able to still lift it and hauled it over her shoulder.

Biwako then made one last look around the room to make sure she didn't miss anything small she could take. And that's when she saw a crown sitting on top of something. 'Bet that's worth a fortune...' Biwako thought as she silently moved over to grab the crown. It was sitting on something that was on the bed in the middle of the room, and when Biwako pulled back the curtain that hung around the bed she realized what it was on. It was the old queen Azur's pillow, and that's when Biwako remembered that this place was a tomb for her. "Rest in peace my queen, wherever you are... I'll just leave the pillow here, but that crown unfortunately comes with me." Biwako said in a sorry tone as she gently removed the crown from the old queens resting place then quickly moved for the door and started back down the corridor heading back the way she came.

When she reached the outside of the palace she could hear a commotion in the street, and what she thought was guards entering the front gate of the palace. "s**t.. Time to go." Biwako mumbled as she quickly ran for a back wall and started to climb it by throwing the bag over the wall first then jumping up the wall and climbing the rest of the way. She landed on the other side with a huff and claimed her bag of stolen valuables. "Alright, time to get out of here.." Biwako said as she quickly ran off down some alleyways towards the center of the city to escape the guards that would be heading for the palace she just raided.
