The state of Rakshasa was a small nation. It was one of the many nations on the L’agica continent. Green lush fields and forests spread out as far as the eyes could see,with the occasional village or city in between.

It was a dark night In “Silvermoon City”.A slender youth was standing on the tallest building, gazing at the city below him.

“...It’s been almost 12 years since that damned god tricked me and i was transported here.Time to establish my base of operations.”

-------------------------------------------

Earth, 12 years prior.

Rive Halden ,35, was a connoisseur of art, clothing, food ,jewellry and women . He wore the finests suits,ate the best food and owned several pieces of fine art ,some of them he made himself. He lived a lavish life as a famous artist.

Of course, this was just a front. In truth he was a wanted criminal. Wanted for theft. forgery. and many other crimes. Some of the Heists he pulled off weren’t even noticed. To this day a fake “La Belle Ferronnière” is displayed in the louvre.

And he is already planning his next heist. A month ago an ancient wooden necklace was found in a coalmine near cologne,germany.It was perfectly conservated. The stone cavity in which it was found had nordic runes depicted on the walls.Thus it was estimated to be about 3 thousand years old but the carbon-14 dating showed that it was billions of years old. As you can imagine, this caused a massive uproar and caught Rive’s interest.

The necklace was in form of a fox coiling its tail around a crescent moon.It was displayed in a museum in cologne.The museum had to upgrade their security for a treasure like this but this would take at least 2 months.So they hired more guards for the time beeing.

Rive worked for 6 weeks on a forgery. It was perfect only the woodgrain had a small discrepancy. He had to hurry,when the new system is installed the heist would be incomparably harder.Although he loved a challenge, the new system was impregnable and thus the heist would become impossible.

He assembled his team, “The Diamond Dogs”. The Diamond Dogs had seven members in total. These seven were practically raised by Rive.They were family. He saved them from a miserable live in poverty. He imparted them with all the skills they needed in this line of business. From pickpocketing to climbing. But of course some didn’t have the aptitude for this skillset so they pursued other interests like engineering or martial arts. They had great achievements in their fields.And taught some of their skills in return.

For this heist he only needed 3 of the Diamond Dogs, but the others also went to the exhibition in case something went wrong. Harald,with his steeled body, has infiltrated the museum as a guard and was working undercover this past month,the other two Rainer and Katherine were tasked with creating a division.

The day of the heist came. Today it was Harald and another guards turn to guard the room with necklace. The museum was crowded Katherine and Rainer were standing not far from me admiring the necklace.

I gave the signal and the two began to make a scene. They acted out a lovers quarrel. Harald told his “colleague” to get reinforcements while he tries to break two parties apart.

“Hey, stop right this instant!” Harald roared.

“Fuck you! This is none of your business!”Rainer replied and threw a Punch straight to Haralds face.

Harald dodged skillfully ,grabbed his arm and threw him in my direction. I dodge with a jump right into the dais,knocking it over. I grabbed the necklace mid flight ,with the intention to switch it with a sleight of hand.

But… something strange happened. I saw a bright flash,felt a strong suction power from my hand and everything went dark.

*Did i faint?Fuck!This can’t be happening! if I am found with both necklaces on me i will be in prison for the rest of my life!Wake up! WAKE UP~~~~!*
