The Pickpocket

Eyes the color of spilled blood. That is the only mark by which the monsters known as 'Red-Eyes' differ from humans. The mages guild hunt these beasts and keep the city safe from their influence. That is all fine and well, but Glenn happens to be born with red eyes and despite just being a regular person, is now being hunted. This predicament has lead Glenn to take up the honorable occupation of a pickpocket. No gold coin or magical glyph is safe from his quick fingers and over the last few years, he has managed to build a quiet, hidden life in an abandoned house at the city outskirts. That is, until he takes in a cat that got lost in his hideout. Soon after that, a red-eyed child appears on his doorstep, asking for shelter. Days later its a profesor, who is prosecuted for his anti mage papers. Then its an Red-Eyes assassin with a broken leg looking for a place to hide. Before he knows it, his hideout has become a safe haven for refugees. But more people mean more mouths to feed, more coin to steal and riskier and richer citizens to target. How long can Glenn and his new found family survive in a city that hates their kind?
