<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Nimble fingers brush silk fabric before wrapping around a woven pouch, heavy with gold pieces. Silent, but quick steps navigate through the shadows. This was a the best kind of night for people like the small brunette that now grinned with glee at the adrenaline coursing through her veins. Stealing being the only thing that would give Marina any kind of happiness anymore, considering it's really all she knew. But something wasn't right, people were rushing to their homes and guards were running to sound the alarm. Marina knew it could not be about her, for no one had ever actually caught her stealing and by the time they realized something was missing she was already gone, faded back into the shadows. So what had gotten the city guards riled up in such a panic?<br/>
<br/>
But then she saw it, the large ship coming to dock. Pirates, the pirates she had heard whispers about on the streets, ruffians with no regard for anyone's life what-so-ever. But with wealth beyond what she could ever imagine, and with that thought crossing her mind the girl couldn't help herself she was already moving briskly toward where the ship would dock and release it's terror upon the city. If she could sneak on and line her pockets with as much treasures as she could manage, and then get back off before they set sail she would never have to steal anything ever again. She could travel, and live in luxury for the rest of her life. Just the thought of sleeping on an actual bed made her shiver with delight.<br/>
<br/>
Marina waited in the shadow of a building near the boat, waiting for the men to flood the city, that would be when she would make her move. With the men in the city there wouldn't be anyone to guard what was already on the ship, they may be pirates but they were still men and men tended to not think ahead very well in her experience, not that she had much. After all even if there were still men on the ship they would never be able to see her, she is the 'Queen of Shadows' after all.<br/>
<br/>
But as a precaution the brunette still pulled the hood of her clothes over her head, watching the boat intensely until it was time to make her move.</span></span>
