Chapter One- The Sewer Route
In a completely different location, the sewer is a damp and dark place. The smell is one of the worst ever, but it's obvious the sewers have been abandoned for years. From the ceiling there is the noise of a trapdoor being open. Then, a slender man jumps down and land on a dry platform. The man wore an outfit like a Ninja; he had a bag over his back with the tip of some object poking out. Ninja or not he was a thief.
The man began his travel at a normal pace, he had a rough night and a fresh scar could be seen on his cheek. After gaining his sight and footing in this dark forsaken place he began to run, this was his escape and he needed to make it quick. Next to him there is a flowing river that was created by a week long rain and run off. The man noticed that this sewers may have not been as abandoned as commonly believed, straight ahead he could see a few larger-than-normal rats and flying snakes. The man made a quick stop by braking with his left foot after doing a leap. Quickly he drew a few throwing knives and eliminated the snakes that started to hover in his general direction; the snakes drop without making an attacking strike and turned into orbs of floating light. The man pulled out a pouch and absorbed the light. For the rats he simply avoided by keeping close to the wall and only moved when the rats were looking away. The rats took a different tunnel after a few minutes and the man continue to head on the path he was already taking.
The man came to a quick stop, he was looking down a deep waterfall. Not too far down he could see a platform that was once used as a bridge; gathering up his will and courage he step back and went into a sprint and leap. The man landed on the platform and tumble, but with his control landing he was able to avoid rolling off the ledge of the bridge. The waterfall continued a few yards down, but the man wasn't here to admire old architect and continue his travel.
The sewer was now very dark and the man couldn't rely on his night vision anymore. Drawing a candle stick he had hidden in a pocket near his leg he closed his eyes and mutter a few words and the candle wick burst into a bright blue flame. The man could tell that it would be awhile before he will see natural light again and was thankful he packed some magic candles before heading out last evening. The man encounter flying snakes again, but this time in the middle of the snake horde was a larger rat than previously encountered. The rat let out a big roar and the snakes flew at the man in a furry. The man did a quick backwards jump to make sure he had enough to counter; reaching for the pouch he used earlier to absorb the orbs of light, did a quick downward motion with his arm. There was a huge flash of light and the snake and rat became dazed, the man then took the small opportunity and jump over the horde and continue on. 'This sewer was nothing for Brian the Thief' he thought to himself.
