The underground city of tor, A gracious and certain place for all the unwanted, ranging from petty thieves to world class criminals.
Displaying a wide revertoure of illegal activities if you can name it they most likely have it.
Surmounting it as the haven of mischief but the only illegal thing is that title, like come on could they not pick a better name. There's literally the den of thieves.
Whos to say this wasn't a copy, well that's enough criticism for the day especially on this one as no matter how corrupt, there's always a backstory.
Some fall from grace others get driven down that path from cruel accidents or that's what is written on the reports.
Well this city is one of them- A city built from rebellion but forced down by oppression due to a wide chasm of power between their enemies, however embers of rebellion whisper within the darkest of caverns.
The reminder clucking in their ears every year, sharpening their blades, a place where silent wisps turn into mighty blazes.
The hidden forge of tor, the pathbourne ceromoney . A month-long celebration where all kinds of tournaments and talent get picked though it sounds like a nice thing to everyone.
To others it hangs akin to guillotine, mummers of hell calling out because don't forget no matter how righteous something is there will always be lingering shadows and theirs is their past.
Acting as a double edged sword, one side reminding them of their light whilst a veil of darkness hides behind.
Lets find out the path a certain young one might take, either one of execution or a lone hero.

' Fuck being righteous ' kade thought whilst passing a board of spreading awareness.
What was it about ? well he didn't know as he only caught a glimpse of it, Rushing toward the workshop
' being late for work almost got me killed, what will happen now '
A feeling of dread overcame him as sweet dripped down his cheek. Weaving through the many crowds and turning corners resembling a seasoned criminal.
Kade was on a roll, turns out years of forced parkour actually helps out as his nimble movements drew looks of envy from the crowd. The way each muscle moved, the precision they acted in was simply mindblowing and Kade had a blast testing that out.
He felt free, unrestrained and his body indulged him, this is what life was all about. The feeling of peace- no stress of what might be upcoming and for the first time ever he smiled.
Earning a look of unease from the nearby maidens.
Well he didn't care as of right now that was the least of his worries.
After a hip hop and scoot he finally made it to the shop, rushing in he earned a glare from Theska.
"You're late "she stated leaving her word to sink in within kade then she added
"must i remind you a slave represents their master " she commented coldly.
Her words grazed him akin to a chilly draft- he shivered immediately bowing his head in apology
"Him sorry for the tardiness mistress" he replied making sure to make his voice one of submissiveness.
Deep down he was swearing her in more ways she could count, in fact her whole ancestry has become a victim. Leaving them squirming in their graves if that where they are
Feeling the sincerity within his apology she left him off lightly, though jotting down an increase in his work hours.
"You will work an extreme shift within the furnace for the next week " she stated. This instantly lit kades face up.
' more time for training' he thought, grinning internally.
" Thank you for your leniency, " he replied, making sure to add some enthusiasm.
Moving to the back he began his work and started splitting his mind and body in two. One for researching and understanding his abilities whilst the other worked in tempering his body in the heat.
Kade began, but this time he wanted to go on a little digging within the furnace
He remembered back then his deduction he made about the place and knew there should be places deeper filled with a stronger effect and that's what he needed.
A feeling of greed so strong that it pushes his already nigh perfect control to the brink of destruction. He wanted to drown in tidal waves and reach that feeling of collapse because he couldn't lie; it felt euphoric.
The feeling of constant evolution was akin to cracking that one bone and every time he felt good another one came just for him to pop it once again.
That wasn't the only reason he also had to grow for many reasons, those present and those to come. He couldn't be caught lacking like last time or he might really die.
Believing all those seemingly events as a row of coincidences would be foolish as no way that many death grade disasters could happen in a short time and kade knew the rumble government was in on it-
But the only thing killing him is what was the objective. Why did they do it and when would he find out.
Would it be too late or just time a series of rhetorical questions rang through him.
Walking through the hall kade just went with the flow, going wherever his instincts took him.
You didnt think kade was just blindly going through the caverns right, like come on he's too smart for that- well sometimes.
As it did take him a while to realize he was considered ugly like come on if many people gave you a face of disgust it means something.
Heightening his feeling of obsession and primal instincts, he could practically smell the evolution and it was sweet. Saliva dripped from his mouth whilst a maniacal grin spread across his face resembling a rabid dog.
Corner after turn after turn he went deeper from this point he wasn't even thinking straight as battling the constant thought whilst making sure not to cross that line was a delicate process.
He was clearly struggling. The push from the furnace was just too strong and many times he had to focus more on suppressing his desires instead of enhancing them.
Moving on he realized the change in environment moving from a once serene of neatness, polished cobble whilst the lanterns glowed with a humming peace.
Gazing forward he was baffled at how different they looked. Lanterns flickered, telling him not to be trusted, whispers drifted with the draft just added a hint of emotion to the picture.
Messy cobble, uneven road. Everything was just a mess at the end of the story. Still pushing forward he went on his way watching how blurred the lines between present and the past blurred then the world went white.
It appeared that door once again, its cozy yet menacing aura was the limelight of his memories or what's left of them. He was so lost on why he would forget most of his memories.
He doesn't remember a sliver of what happened after that night. The night his family began to snap, resonating with the heart for all those connecting and the one needing it most didn't react just thought of this like anyone of those days.
It became a common thing for him for mom and dad to take a break and disappear for a few days or weeks but he never complained as every time they came back they showered him with love, giving him all sorts of things.
His favourite was the books he would get as those kept him busy for most of the time allowing his imagination to run free. The only other piece of fun he had and doing.
cooking , cleaning and all the basic things became second nature to him and taught by yours truly mom and dad.
This process continued for a while an obvious game of cat and mouse Kade thought as sometimes one would come whilst the other left behind thinking it as just one of the many quirks to his family.
One day Kade bumped into something called music, an ongoing trendsetter in his life. It drew him in making his previous imagination with nothing but pictures and with music he felt of peace within it something he never gained from his family.
A common interest rapidly turned into an obsession as his proficiency in making beats and rhyme was the most satisfying thing to him, one day he tried experimenting with both on And that changed everything
kade found his new escape, one evolved from common interest
