Scene.

 

 

Before all this Lili had gotten on the bad side with a powerful noble Lady Catherine De’Angeline and they well seem to like the same guy… A dark haired handsome young man, Demetri Rosetta, and they have been fighting about him tooth and nail. Till one day a young stable boy runs into Lili at a local Tavern and tells her of a wonderful necklace and knows how he could get it, and also knows of her and Catherine’s feud and is willing to help Lili get at Catherine by stealing this necklace and sending it to her in the name of Damian (Lilies Dead uncle) then She wears it around and gets thrown into the dungeons for theft and Demetri will be all hers… Lili being young and naive is intrigued by this idea and so does she listen to the boy and decide to go along with it but she’ll need help.

 

Lili: “Orion… Come on... you have to help me! That is you are my friend right?” The little one asked with a pained look upon her face.

Orion: “Ugh… yes Lili we are friends. But that does not mean I will break into a Royal Treasury for you.”

Lili: “But that’s what friends do for friends… you know I would do it for you”

Orion: “But this is just another one of your foolish schemes… I can’t be part of it I won’t get into trouble with the king!”

Lili: Lili just smiles cleverly her arms folding over her chest “That is where you are wrong my friend we wont get into trouble with the king because he wont catch us its fool proof plan Orion please that Harp was part of my family for years.” That smile faded into a saddened frown her back now turned to her friend.

Orion: “Fine Lili Fine! But you owe me big time for this… and we are only getting the harp nothing else…so keep your paws off anything else.”

Lili: She smiled brightly clasping her hands together then leaning over to give him a kiss on the cheek before rushing off to get ready Orion following at a slower pace his head bowed slightly.

 

Later that night the two appear before them the castle wall with a small drainpipe. Lili dressed in leather breaches a bright blue poets shirt and a deep green cloak with matching ribbons in her hair while Orion come out behind her bent low due to her size a frown on his lips, he too wearing breaches a more dark leather with a white shirt and black cloak a sword at his side. They move slowly very weary of the area around them.

 

Lili: “Alright here we are… shh! Don’t let your feet make so much noise you big lug!”

Orion grumbles something inaudible and walks to her side looking to the wall.

Orion: “Unless you can pass through stone we are not getting in.”

Lili: “Oh don’t be so stupid.” She took up one of her daggers tucked away in her boot holding the blade gently she tapped around the stone, Orion watches on with a scowl mixed with utter confusion.

Orion: “And you’re calling me stupid? What in the gods name are you doing?”

Lili smiles with glee slipping the blade once again in her boot.

Lili: “Okay Orion gives this part of the wall a good push will you?”

Orion blinks a few times then sighed knowing that asking why would be fruitless and so he moved to the wall and gives it one mighty push with his strong blacksmith arms to his surprise the wall falls into a pile of rubble Orion stares wide eyed.

Orion: “Stars!”

Lili smiles and giggles softly slipping into the hole Orion soon to follow and so they emerge into the Royal Treasury the place is bright with gold and rubies but one thing stands out over all else something upon a golden stand adorned in precious gem stones upon it is a wonderful necklace made purely of rubies diamonds emeralds and other very valuable gems.

Orion: “Hey Lili I don’t see your- Lili! What are you doing! That’s not the harp!”

Lili does not seem to hear him as she makes her way to the necklace lifting it up she smiled almost wickedly then put the necklace into her pocket and moved back to Orion who stood there looking far less then happy.

Lili: “Alright I’m ready”

Orion: “Well I’m sure as hell not! You… you little chit you lied to me! I have half a mind to strangle that skinny little neck of yours!

Lili: “The guards will ring both our necks with rope if you don’t stop yelling I’ll explain later!”

Orion glares at her then take her roughly by the arm nearly dragging her out as she looked at all the gold with a look of longing in her eyes but she was shoved out before she had time to pocket anything else.

Lili: “Ow! Hey not so rough!... you’re bigger then me!” She looked up to him to see Orion standing there pale faced and wide eyes.. Lili looked over her own eyes become round before them is a dozen of armed guards and Liles worse nightmare Lady Catherine De’Angeline standing in the moonlight a cruel smile upon her lips.

 

Catherine: “Well well well what have we here… a Blacksmith and a Rotten little Thief. Take them away”

Lili: “What.. Wait!... you… you knew but how did you?”

Catherine just laughs as a small boy came forth the same boy who had given Lili the plan. Lili gasped her lips parted to say something back but Orion grabs her and starts to run.

Catherine: “Get them!”

The guards run after the two who have a head start and no armor upon their backs to slow them down.

Orion: “I swear… if.. If we get out of this I’m going to kill you!”

Lili: “I rather be killed by you then them.. Now run faster!”

And so the two ran for a little longer before Orion grabs Lili and drags her with him as she throws himself over a small ledge right into some bushes after a few moments Lili goes to get out but Orion pulls her back just in time… the two get low seeing the Guards run right past them. Lili speaks softly.

Lili: “Well… That went well..”
