<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/7f/Ibuki_eyes.jpg)</div><strong>Name :</strong>Heini (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=231826.msg11399165#msg11399165)<br/><strong>Element :</strong>火 Fire<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time :</strong>Market Place, heading for the river.<br/><strong>Tagging :</strong>Li Shin & The Wardens (performing their latest hit, Yakkity Sax!), also, everyone on the Rolling Stone...<br/><br/>"Uh...!" Heini wasn't exactly sure of the legality of arresting her simply for attempting to buy something. She was reasonably sure that she would be more than able to talk her way out of such a trumped up charge. However, that wasn't really the issue. The fact that her arrest would almost certainly result in a search, and that would result in the discovery of the various stolen items on her person, was the real problem here.<br/><br/>And then the Judge announced her intent to use a stone scattering palm? Whatever that was! Heini had already taken three steps back even as the Judge was talking. Her reaction to the sudden strike was instinctive rather than planned. The shock wave raced toward her, followed by the rickety wooden cart. Heini  planted her right hand on the suddenly solid wave of air and somersaulted over the wave. She rose about six feet into the air, then descended feet first.<br/><br/>Whether it was good fortune or bad, but it was certainly not by design, she landed directly on the cart as it raced past beneath her. Balance was something else instinctive and she grinned as she sped away from the furious judge (at least, Heini assumed the woman would be furious). The thief gave her Nemesis a cheery wave, then turned to see where she was going and yelped.<br/><br/>The polearm swung at her and she leapt over it. The cart was falling apart as it raced down the cobbled street, scattering the crowds before it and leaving a trail of debris in it's wake. Heini wasn't exactly sure whether she was enjoying the ride or not. It was exhilarating, but terrifying at the same time.<br/><br/>A group of women wearing brightly coloured dresses scattered from her path to reveal a small child, toddling out directly into her path to retrieve a dropped doll. Heini threw all her weight on to one side of the cart, managed to make it turn. She was now heading directly for a carefully piled stack of fruit. The fruit flew in all directions and of couirse one found its way into Heini's hand. She took a bite from the peach and smiled. This wasn't so bad after....<br/><br/><br/>AAAAAH!<br/><br/><br/>The side of a warehouse down by the river loomed in front of her. Heini grabbed the fruit with her teeth, unwilling to relinquish it and just before the cart smashed itself to smithereens on the wall, she leapt, high into the air and her forward momentum carried her in an arcing somersault through the open loft window high in the wall.<br/><br/>On the other side of the window, Heini was again both lucky and unlucky. Lucky because the metal chains hanging there gave her something to grasp and arrest her fall. Unlucky because they clanged against each other, a cacophony of sound that alerted every warden in the vicinity to where she was.<br/><br/>She scrambled down quickly, making even more noise, then peaked out through the door of the warehouse. Sure enough three burly men with big sticks topped with metal blades were advancing on her. One spotted her and pointed, yelled "Hey, You! Stop!"<br/><br/>Heini slammed the door and sprinted the length of the warehouse, finishing the peach as she did so. There was another door that let out onto a wharf in the river. Heini ducked out through it and sprinted along the wharf. In front of her was a stone disc in the middle of the river with people fighting on it, and a large crowd watching. If she could get into the crowd she could get away - and have some pretty rich pickings as well.<br/><br/>She reached the end of the wharf and skidded to a halt. Between her and safety was the Captain of the Wardens. "Oh shit". Heini risked a glance over her shoulder. That way was cut off too, by the two wardens she had seen earlier.<br/><br/>The side of the warehouse was sheer and far too high for her to jump. The river was deep at this point and Heini couldn't swim. There seemed to be only one route open. She leapt for the nearest of the wooden poles that stuck out of the surface of the river, just as the Captain grabbed for her. Light as a feather, now, she bounced from foot to foot along the marker poles, looking for a way back to the river bank. It seemed the only one available was via the stone disk.<br/><br/>With a shrug, Heini jumped from the last pole onto the platform, changing it's centre of balance and causing someone who was fighting desperately on the edge near her to fall backwards into the water.
