"Don't be so suspicious, my young friend! The Examiners are not on their way. I just thought you should know that I am fully aware of the skill you possess." Stutim relaxed slightly, but not much. Welecta looked a bit out of shape, so that really just left Duncan, who'd left the key in an easily-accessible pocket. There were probably temple guards outside the door, but they wouldn't be expecting anything. On the other hand, there were rumours of dark magics that the High Priests had at their command. He'd go along with it for now. At least he was warm. "I have a job for you," Welecta continued. Stutim sighed. He knew it would come to this. "What do you want me to steal, and from whom?" "Oh, I don't want you to steal anything." Welecta opened a small box beside his chair and drew forth a ring adorned with a diamond that was smaller than the Nives Diamond, but only just. "I want you to put this on the pillow of the Princess." play: diamond - -- - --Alfvaen(Web page: http://www.terranet.ab.ca/~aaron/) Song In My Head--Sophie B.
