Alright. This idea has been slowliy evolving in my mind for quite a while now. This story is intended to be a comic, but I prefer writing down my ideas first. It's a fantasy-adventure novel, based on real events in my life. The charactars are based on people I know as well. (I seriously doubt that you'll figure out who any of them are supposed to be, Bri xD). So, without further ado, I present to you "Triple Take", by yours truly, S.C Umbi. (Please excuse any spelling/ grammatical errors, this keyboard sucks.) Triple Take Chapter Numero Uno: From Humble Beginings Jinx chuckled softly to herself. "Now what do we have here..?" She asked herself as she lifted a glistening platinum chain arttached to a sleek, midnight sapphire pendant, masterly chiseled into the shape of an eye, even with a small ruby in the center for a pupil. Jinx grin grew wider as she examined it closer. She fingered it greedily, amber eyes gleaming in delight. She reached to shove it into her already full thieving pouch. She immediatly returned to her plundering. She reached into the leather pouch, feeling for anything valuable. Suddenly, a shadow fell apon the ground which she crouched in. She knew that today wasn't scheduled to a total eclipse of the sun (thanks to the thief's almanac), so for one mind-knumbingly suspensful moment, she was left to wonder what it could be. She slowly turned her head around, only to meet an unapproving, vicious glare. "...What..on EARTH...do you think you're doing..."?" The woman said through gritted teeth, trying her hardest not to break the White Mage's Oath. Oh, CRAP. Quickly, Jinx made a spur-of-he-moment bluff. But fortunatley, Jinx had spent a good deal of time building up her charismatic skills in her spare time, ment specifically for little fixes such as these. "Customs inspection, my dear lady!" Customs inspection...yeah, yeah, that was good. Work with it, Jinx, come on! "You see, as an officer of the law, I am under authority to suspect you for (dare I speak it) THIEVERY. I have been sent by the authorities to investigate. Now if you will excuse me, I shall be taking these valubles back to headquarters foe further investigatiob." At this, Jinx got up, and began to bid the woman ado, but unfortunatley, this woman's insight was far too prestigous for Jinx's pathetic lies. " JINX! THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW!! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU'RE CONSTANT ATTEMPTES TO ROB ME!!! ME!! YOU'RE MOTHER!! Does it not alarm you that ou're stealing rom you're own FAMILY?! We're poor melon farmers!!! I do my best to support you, but all you do is take! Based on you're latest attempt at thievery, I have reached a conclusion. I realize now that I cannot continue to support this family, as you simply desire too much. Jinx...get out of my house....I can't continue living with you any longer.....leave." Her mother said this without the least hint of remorse and perhaps with a tinge of joy. "..buh.." Jinx stuttered, not believing that this was actually happening. "Buh...buh...mom....it's cold outside..." "Yes. I know. But you have proved yourself ready to live oon your own in you're latest display of gred. I don't want to see you ever again...I've had it.." A sudden realization shot through Jinx. She still had that necklace. Heheh. That would probably cost enough to start a life outside in the cold, drunken village of Nimui. She'd show her yet. So, with nothing more than a sly glare, Jinx began her journey.
