Chyoa Quest

Chapter 1

The Good Thief

By XP Author


The city was... huge. At least compared to the tiny village the young 18 year old mouse had grown up in. Honeydale was one of the more wealthy cities in the kingdom thanks to its bees. More accurately, thanks to its honey, and the meed it was used to make. The village Chyoa grew up in was not so lucky, at least anymore. Angfan used to be one of the more prosperous towns, but a blight had come through just before she was born and wiped out a lot of the crops they used to sell, and the fields were still not back to even half their usual production. Especially since many in the town left... or died. Her family was stubborn, and tried to tough it out. But her father had fallen ill and died when she was young.

And then the bandits came. They raided the town, not for food, but people. She and her mother had been captured, along with a great many others, mostly women. All to be sold as slaves. Though not before the bandits would rape their captives. Thankfully, she was spared that fate, as a lone hero came into the camp only days after her capture. The rat was so stealthy, he had dispatched half of the bandits and picked the slave cage locks before anyone noticed. During the chaos of the fight that followed, most of the slaves managed to escape. Her mother... was not so lucky. She used her body to shield Chyoa from arrows. At the age of only 12, she was left an orphan.

Even though she never learned his name, or even if he survived the raid on the camp, she was inspired by the man that saved her and so many other women. She had always been fascinated by tales of adventurers that traveled across the land, finding riches, battling evil, and making a name for themselves. So she trained to become stealthy, quick with her hands and her feet. She became adept with a dagger, and even more with throwing knives. She also learned how to steal, pickpocket, and pick locks. Though technically a common thief, she always picked her targets with great care. She only ever took from those that would not be put out by the loss. Mostly wealthy merchants on the road that would not miss a bag of food or a few dozen coins. Though she had robbed a noble, gaining quite a bit of coin from that. Coin that she had given to the poor lady that let her stay the night in her shack.

Now she was in the city, and there were a great many opportunities. She had a few choices. Most in her... profession... would likely seek out the Thieves' Guild, the worst kept secret in the land. However, she had no intention of joining their numbers. They were more than just a group of thieves and robbers. They were murderers, rapists, drug traders, and slavers. She had only killed in self defense, and only twice. She had no intention of raping anyone, and she could not abide the drug or slave trade, both taking advantage of the already disadvantaged.

She walked around the market district, a full purse of coins tucked within her old travel cloak. Her first stop was an armorer and clothier store. She desperately needed new clothes. Her travel garb was both well worn, and barely fit anymore. She spent more than she likely should have, but after a few hours of fitting, refitting, and tailoring, she stepped back onto the street feeling like a new woman. Now she wore a pair of brown leather trousers, which she had convinced the clothier to add a pair of hidden pockets into the sides of. Her top was a leather armor in brown and black that fitted over her body far better. No longer did she feel her breasts were at risk of falling out if she bent over wrong. It, too, had hidden pockets, both for goods, but mainly throwing knives. Though she only had four to hide. Her iron dagger she kept at her hip, plain for any to see.

Lastly was a new cloak. The old was full of holes and tattered, as she was not good with stitching. The new travel cloak was simple, a dark green that hung down to her calves, with a hood that would cover her blonde hair. She preferred the darker colors, even if they did not play much with her cream fur. Though they did match her dark red-brown eyes. But covering her naturally light colored fur would let her hide in shadows easier, and the green of the cloak would help her blend into the bushes on the road.

Nuts, dried meat and fruits, and whatever she could managed to forage made for a filling enough meal on the road.

Now that she was finally in Honeydale, she had some options for how to begin her adventuring life. The first option was going to the local tavern and seeing if she could find someone in need of some aid. If nothing else, the tavern keep or servers might have heard some rumor that she could follow. It was a good way to make friends, and make a name for yourself with the locals. Though as these were deals done by handshake, and not official, there was every chance someone would try to take advantage of her. And the task could be less than legal, if she cared about such things.

The other option was a bounty board at the local Mercenary Guild. More official bounties would be posted there. Not just for people wanted by the law, but also for monsters. Though sometimes there were much simpler quests. Gathering ingredients, finding lost items, or simply bodyguard duty for a person or merchant caravan. She didn't see herself as a bodyguard, but she could find things pretty easily. And bounty boards were official, sanctioned by the local nobles and law, and could get her in with more people of influence. Though these tasks could often come with some amount of danger. Especially those hunting a person or monster. If they were easy, the guard would likely have done it themselves.

So, now she had to choose. Bounty Board for an official task, or local tavern to see if someone was in need of less official help?
