Cobblestones shimmer under a sliver of moon as the final lanterns gutter and die. A biting wind sweeps the deserted lane, carrying the distant rattle of bolts being thrown.

A low, amused voice slices through the quiet: "Are you a fool, or simply daring?" The thief you know only from whispered warnings now stands before you.
