A short story written for the OnePageRules Writing Jam #12.  The theme is "Creative Resources". 

Set in the Human Empire, this tells the story of a young street thief who is caught up in the power struggle between the Wizard Guilds who control the town and a Noblewoman seeking to take back her birthright.

The mood board is required by the jam. I tried to avoid AI art but I missed one :/
