9:09 am (5 1/4 hours of sleep)
Trailing on about the simple things in life, Terry Malone, didn't notice the jewel thieves take his one-in-a-million tiara. "Never again" thought the professional temptress Ruth Neikerbauker. She had stuck her neck out for the little people only to be snubbed by them. Sammy Panguina was a professional jewel thief before the accident that took his thumbs. The people of the weekend are a fickle crowd.
"Knowledge is the key to knowing things" uttered Professor Templeton only seconds before he knew he was full of shit. He would change career paths to become a plumber. He found his path change to not be rewarding at all.
Salidon Kreempf was a tyrant through and through. He knew there was only a small chance of an uprising as he had kept the people in a constant state of want with the latest piece of whatever's shiny. This had the desired effect of complacency which kept him in power. He had heard somewhere that knowledge was power. So he figured if he kept all the knowledge for he and his offspring while withholding it from the people. He figured he would have been able to keep his family powerful and in charge. He hadn't figured on a hit squad from the neighboring country to come and kill the entire ruling class. Salidon Kreempf was left bleeding out on his palace floor. As the life left his body, he thought of his childhood ambitions that he had all but forgotten. Then in a final struggle for life Salidon Kreempf dragged himself to The Hall of Hubris and it was there he drew his last breath.
Alchemists are a finicky and unpredictable lot. You never know if they're going to heal you or kill you. However, you are sure of one thing. They scare the everything out of you.
