=============================================================================
Distraction failed! A quarter of the way to the edge of the forest I started hearing loud noise coming from the direction of the village. I couldn’t think of a reason for it to become so loud so I started to walk faster. ‘I hope that is them looking at the fire rather than chasing me’ I think to myself. For a distraction I wanted to get all of the council members involved so that none of them were free to chase me. Because I don’t want to get caught, for the last four miles I have been ducking into bushes avoiding sounds of patrols. But patrols are only getting more common this can only mean that the council members sent out their personal guards after me. I guess they were offended.
Shoot I hear them coming!" I pause and hide watching as an attractive she-fox leading a squad of the black-iron kit guard sweep past my location. "It’s not like I even did anything wrong... not really. OK maybe I shouldn't have stolen all the clans’ leader's shoes and put it on the main path in-front of town hall. Or lit it on fire, but come-on! I was only helping them relax (and stop them from following this was the distraction)!
Who doesn't want to be free? And what better freedom than... ahem, anyways it was my goodbye gift to my mother and all the other she foxes making up the council. What better "goodbye forever" gift from a kitsune than a prank? Well maybe gold but I already took care of that 'giggle'. I took it right after the 'shoe incident' I will call it. They deserved it anyways, and I deserve the gold to make up for my trauma.

Trauma because their dirty rooms! the things I saw in there... and they say women are cleaner than men, Not These Women! (Darn elders can't even clean up after yourselves). ulblrrp I think I threw up a little bit just remembering the crusty... 'shiver'." 'Did you hear that!? He's here!' "Oh crap they heard the bush as it shook with my shivering as I remembered my new trauma from the incident. Here they come! What do I do?! Uh Uh Uh MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!"
Maybe I can confuse them with noise to escape. I hear them coming closer, it’s Not a good time to pop up my head and have a look around, and so I keep my head down and stay quite my ears turning in their direction to listen as they approach. I can hear the captain speaking saying,
“Gaia! It’s just a cat.” Soldier- “um shouldn't we check inside the bush?” Captain- “if you want to go ahead! I will stand watch to make sure it doesn't escape”. Soldier1- “um I'm good, I just brushed my tail this morning and it takes forever to get it right “. ‘Holy cow! The most elite combat unit in the kitsune forces and they don't want cat hair and bush in their fur? I wish I could have known this before! I could have gotten back at Alicia and maybe even the whole kit barracks!’ ”ARRG!"
Captain -“what was that?! It sounds like it's a wounded beast”. Soldier2- “yes what a terrifying noise! When we get back let's alert the commander so we can kill it once it comes out of its hole. Cuz I'm not crawling in after a wounded animal that sounds like that. Let’s get it when it comes out.” Captain- “soldiers we will report this later, the commander will have our tails if we don't find kit and bring him back.”

Soldier1- “I heard that the council is putting a lot of pressure on the commander to find him and bring him back. What's the point? It’s just a male. He probably can't survive out alone anyways.” Captain- “girls what you don't know can't hurt you. But between us I heard he held all the town elders hostage in front of the town hall. How anyone could hold the most powerful of our race hostage at the same time I have no idea. But he is dangerous. So find him!”
Kit- "what did I just hear? Hahaha I guess they didn't want the truth spread. The council members don't want it to be known that someone stole their stuff, or just didnt want anyone to see the disaster zone that starts at their bedroom door. so they changed the crime location and said that I held them hostage. The council members must really want to catch me if they spread a rumor like that. The only way to muster 100% of the kitsune forces is when it involves the safety of us as a people, or something threatens the safety of the council. So if the council is spreading a rumor regarding their safety.... i better get out of here. It was all worth it though, Oh man that was fun. I guess I should really leave because even the gaurds sound really angry, goodbye forest hello world!"

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
