@Pandora @SilverLongjohns The sound of people talking, trading and laughing filled the air. There's of course some drunks at the street's corners, plenty of kids running around as well and the white bearded once legendary mages now reduced to making fireworks or lightshows at this lively night. It's not like the Harvest Festivals back in Connlaoth mind you but today sure is close. Walking through the various small shops in these small village sure felt different tonight, it's like swimming in a kiddie pool of people, there's lots of new faces as well. When he lifted his head he could see the pointy ears, the rough looking faces, the graceful smiles and features that you wouldn't see in such a small village. He couldn't blame them though, a clear night like this in La'marri is so great that some say breathing in the night air would clear any sinus or nasal infection. No wonder lots of visitors came at this clear night.
Ash cracks his neck as he walked by, his eyes darting from left to right looking for the right shop to enter
"Nah don't need em, nah boss's gonna be mad if I got them"
Then something else came to view.
"Swords?"
The male paused at a blacksmith placing his weapons on display.
"Lookin' fer swords maybe shields?"
A blademaster without a blade is certainly shameful, he reached for his pocket and pulled out two pieces of iron.
"Um, A blade for two iron pieces?"
The man laughed, his voice is as loud as the thunder and he kept on laughing as he pointed at Ash's two iron pieces.
"You're out of your luck kid, try the wooden sword section"
"Come on I'm.. I need something to protect myself"
The blacksmith slammed his fist on the display table.
"I said no kid and when I say no that means no, now scram"
As if those words aren't enough, the big fat man shoved his shoulder and continued placing his items for display.
"Go kid! Maybe take those worthless junk to a fortune teller or gamble 'em or something!"
Gambling? There's no chance he's doing that, those iron pieces are the only thing worth mentioning in his pocket and what's this about fortune telling? Ash looked around and saw a caravan unlike anything he ever seen before, there are some people around it but he could feel the air of mystery surrounding the place.
"I'm broke anyway.."
He's had enough of gambling, maybe this time he found something in his 'life line' or 'fortune line'. He approached the caravan and pulled his pieces of iron out
"It's not a scam right?"
The man muttered wondering if he's seriously going through with this or not.
