James smiled. “Oh nothing. Does
the word Creed mean anything to you?” Raven paled. How could he know that name? No one knows about her mother. “No.
Why do you ask?” She noticed as James heard the lie in her voice. “Oh no
reason. I heard a customer come into the store while I was working at the
forge. He mentioned the name Creed to Henri. She told me about it last night.”
Raven was troubled as she and
James walked into the Warrior’s Folly. James greeted his wife, Henri, with a
kiss before she could greet them. “James Ironhide, shame on you! I’m working!”
She turned to him, hands planted on her hips but a smile tugging at the corners
of her mouth. “I’m sorry dear, I could not resist.” James nodded in Raven’s
direction. Henri frowned as she watched Raven sit down at a table looking
troubled. “Is she alright?” James nodded, “She saw him today.” Henri tilted her
head, as if asking a silent question that only they understood. James nodded
and turned to join Raven at the table.
I need to just ask him. It’s James, he would never do anything to harm
me. Raven looked at James. “I lied. Creed means something to me. How do you
know that name?”
James crossed his arms. “A lot
of what you think you know is about to be turned upside down. Are you sure you
want to know”

The hooded figure watched from a
corner table in the Warrior’s Folly. His face was shadowed so that if the
black-haired elven woman would not recognize his features. He shouldn’t have
revealed himself in the market, but she had to be the woman Creed had told him
about. Her skills at swordplay were very impressive and her eyes reminded him
of Creed. It was time for James to put her to the test and see if she was the
one they had been looking for.
James had come to him earlier
that month. As leader of the Thieves’ Guild, it had been his job to make sure
all of the members had been informed of Creed’s disappearance. It was very
disturbing with the reappearance of The Illusionist. Creed had only trusted him
with the information of who she really was, and this elven woman he needed to
find and protect. They had agreed that she would be recruited to be a part of
the Guild so that he could keep a watch over her personally.
He only hoped they could recruit
her before Creed’s fate became her own.

(I'm going to start adding all of this onto the page titled "Thief's Honor". That way you can read it all at once. I'm going to be experimenting with pages so there might be a couple changes in the next couple of weeks. Be forewarned!!)
