The moon had settled high into the sky, a soft breeze pushing around littered posters of the town. One of the royal families many attempts to paint their home as a utopia. It certainly was not. It rained oppression while the royals relaxed, enjoying the comfort of their own luxuries and the townspeople's anger.
There was no other way to put it. The townspeople were angry. Taxed daily for the smallest of wrongdoings, held in cells for days on end. The royal family was corrupt. With power, with greed, with just the idea of being royal.
However, word had spread around, a kalon who at night would fight back, even if just for their own personal gains, managing to slip past every single guard without being caught to break in and steal back what had been taken wrongfully. That was, until, Nyx was hired. Nyx had been hired soon after precious items had been stolen, hired for his ears and his struggle to stay asleep. He would work the next night shift, no path given for him to follow he was allowed to just wonder...
Nyx never particularly liked the royal family, but he'd rather be on their good side, not to mention the pay. Of course, with the only command being 'Stand guard.' He never planned on doing much more than that... It's not like the royal family could see what he did... so what if he let a few crumbs fall down the cracks? They weren't hurting anyway... or well, not hurting him.
The light from the moon above was enough to illuminate the ground tonight, there was no need for candlelight, perfect break-in weather... Whether or not this Kalon showed up tonight or not was a different story.
