Chapter 2 - The Birth of The Great Thief

After moving out from the examination building, the brokenhearted Nihan went to the seashore which was on the weatside of the capital.

Here on this vast silent beach, he took off his shoes and sat underneath a boulder while letting his feet talk to the water.

'how great it would be, if I had been selected' he lamented.

Soon the sun has started to sunk, down the horizon, leaving for the night to come,Nihan even then was like a rock, sitting there and seeing the night sky and the beautiful stars within it,this made his mood a bit bitter, but even then there he sat, lamenting about the fact that he was not chosen.

Time passed and night came, then when it was the middle of the night, laughter sounds came from the beach, it was Nihan, who was laughing.

"hahaha, So what if I am wothless, I have the night with me,The stars watch over me, even I who have no talent can atleast be pround of one talent of mine" he said

Then looking out towards the seas he meakly siad"Atleast I know how to rob".

Then he started moving, moving towards the silent streets, towards the streets he loved.

Nihan dud knew how to rob and he sure was really good at it, but he had never went stealing above the amount of 2 or 3 copper coins albeit he be caught and reported to the police, if that were to happen, he would be unable to take the mages exam because no such candidates were allowed who had criminal records over them, so he had to act low, and make due with what he stole.

But now, as he had already gave the exam and had failed in it he had no fears left, he could atleast rob greater amounts, atleast he could let his life flow on.

He reached a dark alley in one of the suburbs of the city, this place was dark, sullen, humid and cold but at the end of the day this place was home to Nihan cause at the end of the street layed a small hut over a small land, it was his house.

He entered the snall hut, it was bad, utensils and clothes here and there, the bed at the corner and a drinking pot at the other corner but instead of deciding to order everything he laid on the bed and soon slept like a sloth.

He knew that he needed this rest, because from tommorow he would have to do a lot of work, he had to become a one man gang if robbers, he had the becone a great thief.
