The Thief Of Varrock (Pt.1)

[Erinwolfrus]

Varrock market is a thriving center, the air abuzz with merchant advertisements, idle chatter, and the clink of gold-exchange.

 

 

 

In fact, most citizens of Runescape would call it the finest and most rich. People idolize it and respect it, knowing that economical deeds of integrity are being held there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which is exactly why Erin decided to scrounge her income here, whether it be by honesty or astuteness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's introduce Erin Murphy, merchant and thief, but also, unknown to these townsfolk, a member of the genus "Homo Lupus".

 

 

 

Right now she's in a dark green hooded robe, so we can't see the effects of the moon. Typically during the full moon period, Erin is a human with large coyote-like ears, a bushy tan tail with a black tip, and with a pair of canines larger than normal. Of course, this isn't her full form. She resembles the common werewolf then, but with tan fur and black markings on her ears, snout, and tail-tip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now Erin doesn't normally need this robe, because during times other than the full moon, she can remain in human form. Equally, transforming from one state to another is doable, but doesn't work when the full moon comes. Then the tail, teeth, and ears will remain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since we have some time, let's explain who this young werewolf is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erin grew up in a small household in Varrock, Runescape. Her mother was a werewolf from Canifis, and her unsuspecting father was an alcoholic from the Blue Moon Tavern (He grew up in Ardougne). When Erin was 8, her father died of intoxication after his liver

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

failed. In grief, her mother left her to a kindly old woman who owned the Blue Moon Tavern. Erin became a waitress at 15, but was never really that good at it, and decided to find some other more suiting lifestyle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, Erin never knew her real race, and was immensely suprised when her other form started showing during puberty. Sani Pillu, Erin's best friend, was suprised when Erin stopped talking to her and hanging out with her. Erin was just trying to conceal that she was a werewolf, of course, and never really came clean to Sani.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erin then went to Canifis in search of getting pointed in a sucessful direction for the highway of life. There, she met many shopkeepers who instructed her on the community. Johann "Dexty" McFaes, the clever merchant who owned the general store,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

smuggled large amounts of necessities- chisels, tinderboxes, hammers, food- from Varrock, where they were dirt cheap. Erin agreed to help Dexty out, and in doing so improved the economy of Canifis drastically.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After Dexty retired, and Erin had moved on, his son ReiÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¸zÃÆÃâÃâähne took over the buisiness and still runs it to this day. Erin, however, made money out of smuggling high-quality Canifis silk colored gloves to Varrock, where they payed immense amounts of money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erin lived off this money for a long time, and enjoyed her mercantile job. She still does it occasionally today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, while Erin enjoyed doing what she wanted (she earned it), Sani Pillu had joined a rebel group called the "Myreque". The villagers of Canifis called them terrorists, and the people of Varrock called them Crusaders. Needless to say, Erin and Sani waged a bloody, and unintentional war against eachother. Erin helped her fellow villagers by sponsoring a new shop that sold building supplies, and Sani's crew stole from the village and blessed the river that runs by Canifis. The Salve, as they call it, burns werewolf flesh when it comes in contact today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erin presently lives in a small, two story shop in Canifis that sells supplies for adventurers who go into Mort Myre swamp to get to Mort'ton.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where was I? Oh, yes...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erin's still creeping around the square, oblivious to the crowd. Occasionally, a tanned hand darts out of the sleeves of the cloak to grab a loose item or some money. Suddently, a gold goblet just sits at a merchant's stall, looking very alone. Our thief approaches like a woman possed, or more accurately, a woman who *wanted* to possess. It doesn't look like anyone's taking notice... But that

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

guard near the fur stall, he's whispering to his mate. They rush to the scene, eager to grab the literal moonlighter. Erin darts East into the Varrock slums, crawling around stone rubble. Flee or fight instincts kick in, and the black silhouette against the blue sky sprints across the roofs of many a home, the guards still in an eager ground pursuit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heart beating to a frightful tune, Erin now has reached the far end of East Varrock. She fumbles for her grapple-hook, and is just able to catch it on some stone guard towers ahead of her. A quick leap, and she swings from the roof to the guard tower, and momentum works in her favor as she swings upward in the height of the swing. Here she lets off, catapaulting her a great distance from the guard tower and Varrock's sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agile legs touch the ground, and the thief springs into action. Pure adrenaline and fear sprint her halfway into the edges of Canifis,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where the long-gone guards wouldn't dream of advancing to. Saving her pelt and still being able to keep her satchel on hand, Erin gasps for breath, taking a good rest before walking the rest of the way to Canifis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She walks into town with a prideful swagger- she had right to her claims of glory. The one thing Erin didn't have was honor, and she didn't believe she needed it. ReiÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¸zÃÆÃâÃâähne came out of his shop, looking dusty, and with a sly smirk on his face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Been findin' things again?" he mused.

 

 

 

"Eh, let's just say I found something and someone found me..." Erin replied with a concerned look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ReiÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¸zÃÆÃâÃâähne approached her with a sympathetic expression on his face, and a pat for her back.

 

 

 

"What happened this time?" he murmured.

 

 

 

She told him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"... I think the guards saw something. They didn't chase as far as usual this time- I may have to hide out here for a month or so..."

 

 

 

The young man countered with a frown "N' what makes y' think that?"

 

 

 

"Well... I- I *think* that they were watching me even before I was about to pickpocket the merchant. I caught this guard that could

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

have been him staring at me. " Erin explained with a tail-twitch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ReiÃÆÃâÃâ¦Ã¸zÃÆÃâÃâähne shook his head, his grey eyes meeting hers. "Ya'er jumping to conclusions- you should rest. Take the day off- I'm sure people will understand."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Erin heeded her accomplice's advice, and ambled over to her shop. She pushed the key into the knob of the door...

 

 

 

Only to find her shop in a dishevelled void of chaos. Vials lay astrew, ropes in knots at her feet, papers in odd places, and chisels

 

 

 

scattered here and there. It was as if someone had been searching for something...

 

 

 

To be continued... sorry folks, wait for it.

[Erinwolfrus]

I wish someone would give a () enough to post a quick review, because I hate having to self bump my work.

[Erinwolfrus]

Wow, since this is pretty much dead I just thought I'd leave a comment for the hell of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I still think this is an overly egotistical work. I don't mind if you flame me, either. I'm used to RPing and sometimes I forget that if I make a story purely out of my character it gets boring and stupid easily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I admit this may have really sucked :lol:

[gothic_halo]

no, it's pretty good actually...

 

 

 

congrats

[cya_tremend]

hey I am learning the hard way that people are just to lazy to read here. whats the point of writing the stories if no one gives a damn. I am writing a story right now, I have the first 3 parts posted and there just collecting dust. I will actually read your story and post my feedback, I just wanted to see what side conversation was going on first, I realy like reading fan fictions.. I just wish someone would read mine in return..

[cya_tremend]

well I never really critisize work, I love it all, but your approach to the story was rather dull. it was interesting at the end when Erin found her place scattered about, who would be searching? all in all, it was rather interesting. I just recommend that you have a little more action to keep your readers attention, suspence and all that jazz.... Post the next part, i'll read it. I just wish someone would read my story... it is good....

[mchief117]
