Take care of your health
-----------------------------------------------------------
I was woken in the night by a noise downstairs. I instantly
sat up in my bed, alert, then silently went down the stairs
and peeked into the dining room. There were two men inside,
both dressed in black. One was holding open a large bag,
the other was putting my silverware into it, being careful
not to make any noise; a small light on the table eerily
lit the scene. They were definitely experts in what they
were doing.
I thought about waking up my sister, then decided against
it. She hadn't waken me up the last time this had happened,
so I wouldn't wake her up either.
I grinned to myself. "This is going to be fun" I whispered
to the darkness, clutching my staff in both hands and
preparing to face the thieves. I would not kill them, of
course, but they had a lesson to learn. It isn't healthy to
steal in a mage's house.
