Prologue
My Turn
Chatter buzzed through the streets of the capital of Tedre: Alred. The city was a bustling utopia built against a river, and crime free for many years. However, the greatest theft in Kondrania occurred here when the only known magician on the island destroyed an entire side of the bank to gain access, and then claimed any and all of the valuable possessions within the item stronghold.
Ryan Theo, a thief at profession, read through the history book of Alred, reading parts of it aloud. He had been stalking the city for weeks now; memorizing the routine of the banks security guard, and the times of highest activity. He continued to read through as he remained crouched in an alleyway across from the Alred bank. He closed the book, and looked up at the bank.
"Now it's my turn" He smiled with anticipation, and pulled himself to his feet. He reached behind his head and grasped a hood hanging from his clad black suit. He lifted up and then pulled it over his head. The hood fell to his forehead, and stuck out enough that it left the rest of his face in shadows. With a knife hidden in his belt and his identity concealed, he slipped from the alleyway and hurried up the path away from the bank. Someway up the road he turned and went back down, using the ancient trees bordering the walkway as a cover.
---
"Why do they even put me on guard duty?" The Akarv–the capital of the country to the east–soldier, ordered to keep an eye on the Alred bank, sighed to himself. "Nothing exciting ever happens, and I'm getting hungry.." He continued to mope, removing his flimsy red helmet. He held the bucket he called head armor at his side, and scoped around the area. "Might as well-" He began before being cut off by angry shouts from the trading center bordering the bank. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

"Get your hands off of that! Thief!" A male voice roared, and the shattering of glass ensued. The Akarv soldier quickly reequipped his headpiece and ran over to the square to find a dark-tanned man in armored robes standing in the square, a shattered bottle of wine at his feet and an angered merchant glaring at him.
"Him! This is the thief!" The wine merchant roared and pointed his finger accusingly at the robed man.
"You, come with me!" The Akarv soldier commanded, and took several steps forward. The thief stood still, then his eye twitched suddenly. After that, he bolted off; away from the trading center and the royal soldier.
---
Ryan continued to walk around the trees until he found himself at the wall of the bank. Making sure he stayed under the windows, and raced around the corner to the back side, and then around the next corner to the opposite side. From here he could see the guard racing from the bank towards another thief; his partner, Jack Ranzarr.
Ryan stared at Jack questioningly from afar, and then Jack's eye twitched, resembling a wink. Ryan nodded, and Jack ran. With the guard distracted, Ryan raced around the corner and turned quickly again into the bank, quickly diving behind a deposit box before he could be taken notice of.
"Damn petty thieves.." the soldier scowled to himself and walked back towards the bank, leaning against the wall on the right side of the doorway.
"Damn.." Ryan cursed under his breath, looking from his hiding place at the guard. "I need a distraction.."
---
Jack, having run off only a short distance, turned around and looked back at the trading center. Seeing the guard having returned to his post, he raced back in. Risking much, he charged through the trading center and towards the guard, leaping at, and tackling, him. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

"Ah! Get off of me you damn hooligan!" The soldier roared as he rolled Jack off of himself. "That's it! You're serving a good five years in the prison colony to the north!" The soldier roared furiously.
"I don't think so" Jack taunted, pulling a brightly shaded steel scimitar from his robes.
"A confrontation, eh?" The Akarv soldier asked, and pulled a long sword from his sheath, pointing it at Jack. Sneaking a quick peek into the bank, Jack knew he had to get the guard out of here. With an unexpected move, he shoved past the guard and ran north; out of the city.
"Get back here!" commanded the soldier as he chased Jack down. While he was doing that, Ryan leaped from his hiding place. He ran up to one of the three open stalls and smashed the glass through with his elbow.
"Give me the money, now!" Ryan commanded over the startled screams of those within the bank. He opened a bag he had hanging from his belt, and the frightened banker began to fill it.
---
"Stupid god damn kid.." the Akarv soldier cursed under his breath as he walked back towards his post at the bank; having failed to catch and arrest Jack.
---
"Thank you for your time" Ryan snickered as he pulled the bag away, money now clinking inside the bottom. He bolted through the doors and made an immediate left; diving through a small hole between two trees before the soldier could see him.
---
"Alright.. back to work-" the soldier sighed under his breath when a banker came running outside; freaking out.
"We've been robbed!" He screamed, and clutched onto the soldier, shaking him desperately. "We've been robbed! We've been robbed" He repeated in a voice of utter confusion and fear.
"Wh- what!?", the soldier asked in a baffled manner. "..How?", he asked again as he began to calm down.

Setting: This story takes place in a fictional world(East of Gielinor) of my creation. I will do my best to explain it throughout the story, but here's a guideline to get a basic idea of what this Continent is like.

•Year 1190
•Continent of Kondrania
•Hera(Era)–Most populated Country, home of the continents capital city: Akarv. Only country with a mountain range. Other cities include Ghern, Heran Port, Heran Point, and Rawn.
•Yoren(Your in)–The northern Country of the continent. Only Country with islands, and its capital is New Roy. Other cities include Jern, Yoren Port, and Taylen. The Thief's camp is located at the northernmost tip. Yoren is also the only country with a system of transportation: carts.
•Tedre(Ted err)–West of Hera, only Country with a river and beaches. The Tedre river cuts the Country in half, creating East and West Tedre. East Tedre holds the capital, Alred, and though it is smaller it has a larger population than west Tedre. Other cities include Tiern(East Tedre), and Tripoy(West Tedre). On the western most border of the Country, there is a village-like barricade referred to as the 'Barricade Outpost'.
•The Curved Peninsula–The only Country with a lava flow, and it is uninhabited by humans. This is the supposed hiding place of the reaper Jack is positive exists. Located West of Tedre.
•Prison Island–One of the islands bordering Yoren, though much larger. It is the farthest mass of land from the mainland, and is used as nothing more than a prison colony.

•Heran Sea–A sea bordering the southern side of Hera, and the Eastern half of Tedre.
•Blank Sea-Largest body of water surrounding the Continent, surrounding the northern half of Hera, Yoren, Tedre, the Curved Peninsula, and all of the Prison Island.
•Whirlwind Sea-Sea bordering southern side of the Curved Peninsula and the South Western side of Tedre, not including any beaches. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !
