I've got a basic idea of a fantasy story. I've got a swarthy thief as the main character. He's of the Shadow Clan, the elite of the thieves' guilds and the most hunted. Rhe swarthy thief mentioned previously (let's call him Castor for the moment, yes?) gets captured and is going to be hanged when a nobleman comes and claims him. Castor becomes a kept thief, and the nobleman is envied by others. The thief hates being kept and is looking for the right chance to escape.
I want the two to travel somewhere where the nobleman wants to use Castor's skilled, but I have no clue what they would try to steal and why Castor just doesn't escape on the road. I'm toying with the idea of giving Castor the ability to speak to wind or something, and the nobleman wanting to steal something that would control people with abilities similar to the thief's, but that's as far as it will go.
Anyone have any suggestions? Any? All are greatly appreciated!!
