"Sometimes destiny calls in the most unusual ways" This story is the first entry in the "Three Lives" trilogy that tells the story of Hitt Lightfingers and his journey of self-discovery until he becomes known as Slash Darkhand, a quest-giver NPC in my homebrew D&D game. Since I can't have my players suffer through the backstory of the very first D&D character I created and to establish the continuity, I decided to write down this story instead. Hitt Lightfingers is a thief and member of the "Thieves with many faces", a guild of thieves fighting to regain their lost power over their territory in the Azhar desert. Being the son of their guild master, Stain the Striker, Hitt is charged with the responsibility of helping the guild achieve its goals through any means necessary. This includes the mysterious and volatile power he was born with, a power that could pose a greater danger than any of them could ever imagine.
