Thread: Stealing From History (BlisteredBlood x TakodaVega)

The job was simple. All Nathan had to do was just look for something that pertained to the legend of El Dorado and he would find the mythical City Of Gold. After that, he had to report it to his employer and Nathan would get a nice cut after it was all said and done. Sure, the road to getting there was no doubt going to have some tricks up its sleeve, but when the job requires the best, then someone had to phone in someone like Nathan Silver Talon Leone, perhaps one of the best thieves money can buy in today's market. Upon arrival near the Amazon River in Peru, Nathan - dressed in his usual thief's garb for the day - only smiled to himself as he then began his trek through the jungles of Apurimac, slashing through dense foliage by using his own talons and athletic ability in order to safely maneuver this rainforest. It honestly amazed him a great deal that this place hadn't been bulldozed down already to make way for a new Dodge factory out here, but then again, where would be the fun in that? A good 30 miles into the forest went by before Nathan had to stop and rest near an old temple that was built during the ancient Mayan times. He could visibly see that the place hadn't been used in some time, given the fact that the structure looked to be at least five centuries old. On the outside of one of those temples appeared to have some sort of inscriptions about the ancient races that worshiped here, but that was typical for him. After all, the cat was a very revered and sacred animal to these people. So revered as a matter of fact, that sacrifices were often made in their honor. How touching... Nathan thought to himself with a laughing grin on his face as he inspected one of the ruins, seeing one of the inscriptions that looked as though it was pointing into the temple itself. A thought then crossed the male ebony nekojin's as he decided upon himself that one look inside of the temple couldn't hurt. Besides, what was the worst that could happen? As soon as he was inside the temple, he hadn't gone more than ten paces inside of it when... Click! Huh? Nathan sounded to himself as he glanced around, wondering it was he had triggered. Soon enough, the temple door came sliding down shut, sealing the male neko inside. Shit! He seethed as he ran back towards the entrance and began to look for a way out. There had to be something, ANYTHING that he could find to reverse the trap that he had to go and spring on himself. Well, that's just great. He muttered to himself as he then looked around the dimly lit temple. Perhaps there was another way out of this place. As he continued to look around, however, Nathan soon came upon a small glint of light that was on the ground, somewhat illuminated by the only light source within this place this being a small hole in the ceiling shining down on what appeared to be a solid gold coin. A grin was on the male neko's face as he then approached it, knelt down and picked up the coin. But upon closer inspection, it wasn't a gold coin as he suspected initially. It was an amulet, one that belonged to someone of high prestige. But even as he thought about reading the inscriptions on the amulet, something happened. It felt as though Nathan felt displaced or possibly even disconnected. The sudden feeling disoriented Nathan to the point where he became severely dizzy. Within moments, Nathan collapsed into unconsciousness, landing upon the ground with a dull thump.
