《Queen of thieves》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Morgana joined the queu to enter the city limits purposefully hiding the cherry blossom mark on her bag in case any of the guards or travellers had been to the city of thieves (the cities agreed name) and new the meaning of such a symbol, afterall if she was caught out this early in the game it would make things considerably harder to maneuver from the shadows later, not to mention the fact it would hurt her pride considerably.
As Morgana looked around she saw people of all different sizes and raced including a few elves and some goblins in the line, but what caught her attention most was a young boy around her age who was obviously attempting to disguise himself as a peasant.
He had golden blond hair and a plain and simple tunic, any thief however could tell you that the tunic was made of high class magical beast skins, the bulge in said tunic was gold and the thinly disguised "big brother" next to him was clearly a bodyguard. Morgana smiled as she noticed three more unsavoury looking people also staring at the boy, this was interesting.
Purposefully walking near the boy she stopped at the larger guard next to him who was staring at her with thinly veiled contempt, "Excuse me sir," she said in a small and pittyful voice, the guard almost snarled when the blond boy shook his head and smiled gently "no need for the sir my name is Arthur and this is my....brother Cain, what can we do for you?"
Morgana hesitated as if trying to decide something before nodding firmly to herself "You're being followed." Cain quickly tensed and Arthur looked around worriedly "can you point out who?" he said clearly distressed, Morgana nodded trying to hide her laughter before pointing to the three unsavoury looking men.

The three who noticed scowled and groups together trying to look intimidating, seeing that Cain was staring at them Morgana turned to Arthur and "tripped" Arthur quickly went to catch her "thank you Arthur." said Morgana in a sweet voice ignoring Arthur's blush "Your welcome, thanks for your help with the people following us, they must be thief's."
Morgans hid her smile before nodding and waving goodbye, making sure to loose the two in the line Morgana smiled and held up the bag of gold that had previously been in Arthur's tunic, it was way to easy. Sneaking past the guards Morgana finally entered the city limits, ducking into a nearby alleyway Morgana opened the bag she had stolen from Arthur.
Inside was twenty gold coins a necklace and a ring, the necklace had a solid gold chain and a sapphire blue pendant dangling from the bottom, Morgana whistled Arthur must have been a seriously high class noble to have this, turning eagerly to the ring Morgana froze. "Shit." she recognised the crest on the ring, afterall how could she not?
It was the crest for this countries royalty, that meant that Arthur was a prince and not only that he had seen her real face and voice "Shit." she repeated aloud again before sighing. In truth in past she had had limited dealings with royalty and though one of them knowing her hardly mattered on her rise to power later on if anyone happened to put together the uncommonly talented thief girl together who arrived around the same time as the on the rise crime boss who used a little girl as her carrier it could be troublesome.
Morgana sighed again but was let out a huge grin anyway, afterall no matter how troublesome she claimed it to be she did love a challenge,still smiling Morgana headed towards the city slums, afterall where there were desperate people there were people willing to abuse that desperation and that was her first target.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
