Ittindi had his dominator at the ready, as the robbers prepared for their operation. Unfortunately for Ittindi one of the patrons, a small 5-foot wiry female was also in on the heist. While the man made it up the stares she had already demanded everyone put their hands up. Normally Ittindi would laugh at such a statement and let the villain shoot a bullet between his eyes. Then he’d get back up and be prepared for their inevitable screams. However, his memory of how angry Lady Lumikki was forefront in his mind. He had such a nice time with Captain Anika would the night be ruined if he let her see him die, even if it was temporary?

Who cares Ittindi, lets have a blast, in fact after they shoot you in the head. Wouldn’t it be fun to explode, you could say it was collateral damage, we could call the Rune Knights to heal the civilians. You’re the Colonel of Communication you could easily pressure the news to keep this out the headlines.”

No matter how much he expressed that he would come back, there seemed to always be a moment of pain for those close to him. A feeble thing since it didn’t let him use his power to its full potential. Meanwhile, Naki had become obsessed with that feeling of death ever since Ittindi had purchased his heart necklace. Now that he came back stronger than the other avatars, his body parts partially healed even after serious injury, Naki thought the only way to break him was with painful deaths. However, Ittindi still had yet to find a pain as harsh as the night he was kicked out of the manor, or when his parents were so happy to see him leave one less child to feed. Especially one who found his calling being a servant, they viewed his time in the Rune Knights with equal disdain. His other family members had become respectable businessmen and women something that was theirs.

The lady’s gun was now pointed in Ittindi’s direction in his mindless thoughts he had forgotten to put his hands up. She was shouting something at him, that Ittindi didn’t even register, when she went to pull the trigger. Instead of letting the bullet hit, his reactions from his awakening would allow him to effortlessly dodge the bullet. However the round would start to ricochet, luckily no one was hit this time. Another reason he’d need to put his hands up.

”You know its not to late to stop this foolishness. No one has been hurt yet, but once you kill someone than the town guards will have no choice but to throw you in a dungeon. If they even decide to take you alive.”

Ittindi’s hands in the air, his dominator was sitting in his lap, he was unsure if either robber would see it with their elevated levels of adrenaline. It wasn’t their first heist, but they seemed rather new to the whole thing. Thought their weapons were extremely deadly, they must either be rich or have a well connected arms dealer.
