K'agosk had spent his entire life building up the art industry. He worked day in and day out for his money and as time goes on he realized he wanted more. More fame, more glory, more power. He needed it all and he wasn't going to let this one opportunity go by.

So, when he saw an advert for an auction for the newest pieces from one of their biggest rivals he couldn't help himself. The only reason why he didn't get his hands on any of these new pieces was because he was too busy working for the man who stole them all away from him. He could never forgive him.

But he knew he would never be able to take any of those pieces, he wouldn't allow himself the pleasure of seeing those smug faces in his office again. So, he went to this auction hoping to buy some of the best pieces and see if he couldn't get what he wanted.

And if you want to get something you have to pay a price, even if it's someone else's property.

He arrived early at the auction just after it started, eager to see how things played out. As soon as the host stepped onto the stage she immediately turned to face everyone and announced "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to introduce to you an old colleague of mine and I believe this must be the first time we meet!"

"My name is Sibylla and today my friend and I are here to auction off some of our most prized pieces!" She gestured towards the table behind her where five paintings sat displayed proudly. The painting at the forefront was the one with the largest amount of people sitting in front of it, it was the piece of art that everybody was paying attention to. "This one is a beautiful piece but not one that has been seen before!" She pointed to one of the smaller ones. "This is called the 'Blackbird' and it's a lovely piece but sadly it was stolen from me by my competitor! Unfortunately, I don't know who the thief is or if they are still alive, which would be very unfortunate!" There were a few scattered laughs around the room. "In order to find out where they went or how we can make them return the piece, we will need volunteers to collect some materials we need for the auction
