Aragiel galloped through the streets, flanked by her sisters Ogol and Rein. It was a chilly day, spring snow barely covering the ground, which meant their footsteps were visible in the streets. They hopped up a ledge and onto the rooftops as the guards shouted angry cries below. A muffled laugh came from Rein as she raced across slick roofs. "You're crazy," Aragiel muttered as the two took off after their sister. When they set down their load, three loafs of bread, on the pile, Aragiel nodded her goodbyes to her 'family' and left. She dashed off onto the streets, looking for her next victim when she stumbled upon a young child. His face was streaked with dirt and grime, but little did he care. He was proud, his face tilted towards the sun, bearing the weight of the street-life on his young shoulders. Aragiel smiled, but did not take after the youngster, for she was in a rush to feed her own share. She took her favorite route, through the alleys, where there was less of a chance to get sick or run into people. The path lead to the back of a tavern, where she managed to pick up the remains of somebody's uneaten luncheon. Picking up the untouched bread, she jumped upon the rooftops, where the sun shined down on her. It was good to be alive, with the world awake after a sleepy, grey winter. She loved this world, though the rain and anger poured down on them. To have the sun shine in your face, with your belly full and your health good, is better than the despair and pain brought by death. Aragiel sat there, upon the rooftop, cross-legged, just waiting for something to happen. Anything.
