*Drago blushed slightly at Stiletta's compliment. He looked at Stiletta she certainly was a pretty young lady.*
"Well thank you Stiletta, your a very attractive young lady yourself."
"have you managed to turn anything into gold?"
*Lokie snorts trying to supress a laugh.*
"Urrhmmm do excuse me slight tickle in ones throat."
*Drago shoots Lokie a dirty look.*
"Sadly not Stiletta. Thats talant still eludes me, but with my skills as a theif i'm rearly broke for long."
"How about you my dear?? How did such a lovely young lady like yourself become a theif of more then men's hart's of which i'm sure you've stole plenty."
"And what was this tale of another diemension and treshure hunting you mentioned??"

*Stiletta thinks back to her childhood* "Well...my father was a thief before he met my mother. He really just stole from people who could afford it, especially the nastier ones who he said didn't deserve the money they had. He told me all about his thieving days when I was little, and I thought it was all rather exciting so I suppose I just wanted to follow in his footsteps. My mother hated the idea of me becoming a thief, but she's grown used to my profession over the years, bless her. My father died a few years ago, but I like to think that he's proud of what I'm doing now. I do what he did, and only steal from evil creatures if I can help it." *She pauses for a moment, then starts telling Drago and Lokie about the other dimension she was in* "You wanted to know about the other place I mentioned. Well, it was quite a while ago that I ended up there, and although I remember the actual place and the fact I was with a friend called Phoenixflame, I can't for the life of me remember how I got there and how I got back. When I try to remember, my mind goes fuzzy. It was a strange place though, and there were some awfully fearsome looking creatures there, I think they were called orcs - something like that anyway. They were the ugliest brutes I'd ever seen in my entire life. Extremely violent too, with terrible manners! I'm just glad none of them managed to come through to this dimension when I got back." *She shudders at the memory of the orcs*

*Drago & Lokie lissen intently to Stiletta's story.*
"Incrediable, Both in excitment and danger."
*Smiles and laugsh slightly*
"What us theifs and thresure hunters will do for some exitment and gold aye??"
"Indeed if you ask me your both addicted to the exitment and danger of your chosen life style as much if not more so then the rewards you may manage to reap."
*Lokie said.*
"Lokie always likes to apply philospahy to theiveing. He pretends he dosen't approve but he enjoys the thrill as much as your or I if the truth be told."
*Drago explains to Stiletta.*
"Huhhmmm i don't nesercerialy enjoy the "thrill" as you put it Drago. Its more I apprechiate the fineary and artistic value of what you may managed to aquire at times from your little "shopping trips"."
*Drago raises and eyebrow.*
"Yes and he also likes to chose items of "finery and artistic value" that he wuld like me to aquire on my next "shopping trip."
*Lokie snorts.*
"I Can't say my reson for entering in the theif world were not quite as nobel as yours Stiletta. Although my methords were. I went into it to support my Alchame practises originaly....and supplament my pitense of a wage as a Dragon Warden."
"They pay as little as possible in that job, how they expect a person to survive i don't know. Oh don't get me wrong i thought it a great honnor to deffend the Dragon race but a person needs to buy food etc to survive."
"Anyway i realised that often the pouchers i caught had a lot of money and or expencive items on them, weapons etc. So when i arested them i'd confiscate their money and goods. All of which would some how "get lost" some where between the confiscation and the turning in of said items."
"Well eventualy as you can well imagine i was found out and dissmissed and so i became a proper full fledge theif and have been one ever since."

*Stiletta smiles*
"Well, I know I can definately trust you now, fellow thief and an Airwan too! Although I've not been blessed with the company of dragons as you have, I adore them so any friend of dragons is a friend of mine! The good dragons anyway, I never really cared for that crazy one that Lord Fear kept for a while. It gave me a jolly big fright one time I was in his master's tower, nearly managed to bite my head off when I was running away with something I'd stolen from there. Put me off going back there, I can tell you!"

*Drago blushes slightly*
"Thank you Stiletta it is nice to be trusted..in our chosen life style it is a very rare thing for people to trust us. I always think that only a theif truely knows how importent being trusted is...beacuse we have it so little."
"Hmmmm never cared much for Red Dragons myself either...oh don't misunderstand me i feel they should be protected like any other dragon, but boy are they bad temperd and ungrateful."
"Humph Personaly I would not shead a single solitery tear if that whole species just vanished over night...they sully the rest of us dragons good names."
*Lokie said indignetly & hutily. Drago ignored Lokie's input and continued on.*
"So i take it then from your story about libberating some items from it that Lord Fear's treshure room is quite the golden goose to snacth from Stiletta??"

"Oh, absolutely! There are absolutely thousands of gold, silver and bronze coins, mountains of precious jewels, gold statues...rare magical items...and they all just lie there in his bullion chamber, doing nothing! He doesn't need all that treasure, it's just one more thing he likes gloating about! Yet he still makes sure it's intensely guarded by trolls, dragons and hobgoblins. It's also rigged with a spike trap too, but he underestimates thieves like me...it's common knowledge among us that makes us always test rooms for traps before setting foot in them. And disable them too"

*Drago ponders this and gets a mischevious glint in his eye, which Lokie spots.*
"Don't even think it Drago!!"
*Drago looks innocently at Lokie.*
"Think what??"
"You know fine well what!! Your thinking to try and raid that treshure room."
*Lokie snorted.*
"Why Lokie what a good idea that is."
*Drago smiled mishceviously.*
"WHAT!!!"
*Lokie said indignetly.*
"I'd have never thought of that.....but it wouldn't be right."
*Lokie sighed.*
"Well at least your not as daft as that...."
"It wouldn't be right of us not to invite Miss Stiletta along."
*Drago continued. Lokie didn't register this at first.*
"Well of course good manners dictate that you invite Miss St.......DRAGO!!!!"
*Drago laughed.*
"Well Stiletta what do you say?? The three of us make a little withdrawl from his Lordships treashure room???"

*Stiletta grins broadly at this*
"What a splendid idea! And Lokie, I can safely say that there is treasure there that would be to your taste...there's a whole area of the room dedicated to fine art, and it's just lying there being unappreciated..."

*Lokie looked at Stiletta, then bowed his head and gave what apperd to be a cough.*
"Ahummmm hurrmmm...eeeer yess....art work you say. Well I...errrr...it has been some time since i had a chance to look at and apprechiate fine art work........and such a shame that it gose unapprchaited.......and we do need funds in order to par-take in the wholesale buying and selling of goods in the local tradeing establishments, so as to purches supplies and Firestones after all."
*Drago chuckles and winks at Stiletta.*
"Indeed we do Lokie. Indeed we do. The only thing that remains is to plan this little escapade...dosen't do to go into these things on a wing and a prayer, other wise you can come an arwful cropper."
*Becomes very serious.*
"How far away is this Lord Fear's place of residence for a start and besides this spike room are there any other nasty little supprises we need be warey off?"

"Hmm...well there was one particularly dangerous obstacle - even more so than the spike chamber, I think. There was a huge pendulum swinging round and round a room that had no floor, only a stone path which zigzagged to the opposite wall...which went directly through the path of the blade! You've got to have nerves of steel for that one, but I've no doubt you have them. Oh yes, there was also the corridor of blades, that was the final obstacle I think. It's been a while since I was there, so hopefully he hasn't changed the traps round or we'll have our work cut out for us.
His castle's not that far from here, about three miles at a fast pace, I think"

*Drago Looks ar Lokie.*
"Three miles??"
"Pha!!! Why even a meer hatchling could cover that distance with out breaking a sweat."
"With two passangers??"
"The distance still posses no great challange Drago do remember i have carried you and sacks of your "liberated" goods before now, so extra waight is of no consequence."
*Drago smiled*
"Thats just what i thought. Errr that is of course Miss Stiletta is not adverse to dragon rideing?"

*Stiletta's face lights up at the mention of dragon-riding*
"Oh I'm absolutely for travelling there on a dragon, best form of transport I say! Just one thing, Lokie mentioned that you've travelled on dragons before with sacks of treasure...well I think the one I have here might just have to come with us too. I really don't want to leave it here where something could steal it and I can't see any tree with a suitable hollow that I could hide it in. Would that be ok?"

*Drago smiled.*
"But of course Stiletta i'm sure Lokie can manage any lugage you may have. Carn't You Lokie??"
"A Mere Triffle Miss Stilleta...why i once carried Drago and two soild gold statues he had aquired from a town center for upwards of a 100 miles."
"Slight egsageration Lokie it was more like 60 miles but still good point to ilustrate your carrying abilitys."
*Looks up at the sun.*
"If we set off now we should be there just as dusk sets in...what say you Stiletta do you preffer to go under cover of dusk or do you prefer to operate during the light hours??"
"If so your more then welcome to stay with us here. Your company is most enjoyable"
"Indeed Miss Stiletta. The added company and conversation would be a most welcome contribution."
*Drago smiles.*
"And your bueaty would certainly brighten up the place no end."

*Smiles at Drago's compliment*
"Yes I think I will stay with you, it is nice being in the company of a fellow thief...and you too, Lokie! Makes a change from constantly watching your back, I must say. And we've only just met, but we all do get on rather well, don't we? Well, what are we standing around here for...let's go and help ourselves to Lord Fear's treasure, shall we?"

*Grins.*
"An excenlent sujestion. Come on Lokie lets get ready for flight."
*Drago nips up quickly and starts packing away the few things he had unpacked back into his travaling bag. a couple of blankets and the remaining bread and cheese. He slung the bag into the carrying pouch of Lokie's saddle. Then he pulled out a lenth of rope.*
"Stiletta if you bring your sack of loot over here I'll tie it on to the saddle so we can carry it. Errrm I'm affraid its going to be rather....close quaters this journy as the saddle is realy only built for one but it can manage two."
