Shade though she was home free but then heard a roar.She knew that wasn't good so put a hood over her face to hide he self and a raptor landed in front of her hitting her in the gut and pinning her to the ground Dropping the coin purse
Shade was terifided and made no move at all with her face still covered

talen got close to the theifs face and hissed making sure she dosnt try anything funny. "Excuse me, I'll be back to talk buisness." said Brev as he walked torwards the theif. he picked up his pouch and looked at the theif. "Now why would you try and steal from someone that was with a raptor? are you seriously that hungry to do something that stupid?"

"I say that we kill this theif and feed to the hatchlings." hissed talen.

"Now now talen. we just cant go and kill people like that. but i'll give you a choice. you can either join up as a raider or you can spend time in the prison. your choice and your choice alone."

Shade looks at the man through the hood and her stomack Growls
She sweats as the raptor talked
' i dod not know he was with the Raider's'
"iii-ill Join with you"
She said in tarror

"smart call. now stand up and stay close up to talen and if you try and run he wont have any problem hurting you." warned brev as he headed back to the hunter. "now where were we?"

Shade stands up. she clutches her stomack from the hit earlyer and it Growls
"hhuh so your name is Talen? How did you get that name?"
Shade backs up a little scaired of what he may do to her

"from these." he replied as he clicked his claws on the ground.

Shade looked at Talen's talons and imagined what they could do to her and backs away a little more
"So Talen w-what do you do?"

" i carry brev into battle against the ones that have exiled his ancestor. me and him have fought side by side on numerous occasions. his pain is my pain." he replied. his stomach growled also. he just hoped brev could get the food soon. "do you have a dinosaur companion?"

Shade tool another step back hearing that he has been through battles
'this guy has no problem killing'
Shade jumped hearing Talens stomach growl
"Nnnno i don't"

walking up behind behind Brev "gratings Brev i am a merc a might be able to help your group i hear that you are in need of well trained colleagues i can help you for a price "

" i guess that means you have to pick a hatching for your companion." replied Talen as he shifted his weight.

Brev turned around to face the merc. "You wish to fight for money? then we'll talk buisness at the raiders compound. ill be there after i finish my buisness here."

Shade sence that now was the best time to run so she did. Shade ran by a fruit stand and climed to the top and jumped for the roof she got up but her hood fell of but she didn't care she just ran hoping that Talen would just watch

talen was about to give chase but brev called him back. "Let her go talen. if she wants to keep her word she'll know where to find us."

jumping cleanly to the roof and pick up the hunter by the base of the hood stepping off the roof landing next to Brev "it seams this one almost got away " setting her down next to Talen "that was free"

Talen smiled evilly as the theif was placed next to him again. "Hey brev i like how this one works."

"here just bring what you catch to the compound to me and i'll make sure to pay." he said as he placed the pouch into the hunters hand. (the bag had about 39 gold coins) "Now lets go to the compound to talk you terms of service." he said as he led the way to the compound. talen was always right behind the theif ready to strike. they soon approached the 'compound'. it was more like a massive stone fort. they entered raptors and furs could be seen all around. some are training overs are doing drills while some just resting. "This is our compound. it is connected to the other compounds that make up our military. so if you go further into the structure you'll meet the other [SPAM]. all [SPAM] protect the hatchery at the center of this stronghold in a cave dep below. we also have tunnels connecting us to the castle on the otherside of the city." explained brev as he lead them out of the large court yard/training ground and into their building. they walked pass a pair of raptors and their riders.

brev called them over and explained to them to take the theif and get her some food and then take her to her new quarters and dont let her out of their sights. they nodded and led her away. "now that she is gone we can get down to buisness." he said as he opened his door to his and talen's room. it was a large room. it wasnt to over furnished with expensive things. it had a few rugs and some trophies hung on the wall. there a bedroom, a bath room and a cooking area branching off from the main room. in the main there was a table with some chairs and a couch.

"before i can hire you i just need to ask you some things. first: why do you wish to join us? second: what can you do personally? and finally: what is your price?"
