It was a couple days after going to the zoologist shop that she realized a new month has started, and likely a new type of stock is available at the Curious Collections, hopefully one with a new type of crystal again. Packing her bag carefully with different items and tying up plastic bags with fish in them to prevent water leakage, she felt ready to head to the place and see if there might be something she’d like to get. And if not, it still would feel like a good day for a walk in the city.
The sky is only mildly cloudy, and the sun shines brightly when the clouds aren’t blocking the light from its path. Humming softly to herself as she adjust the backpack to feel less like something sharp is poking her, she walks in a grueling pace to get to the intended building, stopping only for small breaks when something catches her eye in different shops.
It is only when she enters the center of the market place and sees her intended target she really slows down and just breaths. ‘Let’s see what might be in store for me this time.’ She can’t help but think with a bit of humor tinging her thoughts.
“Hello.” She calls out as soon as she enters the building and sees the store owner behind the counter, still wondering even months after first seeing them what their gender are, or what they feel more inclined to be. When she knows for certain her greeting is received, she starts looking at the goods. Skipping any creatures on sight with the knowledge that they would most certainly be worth far more then she carrying right at this point, it takes a while till she finds what she is looking for.
A magical crystal, and this time, one she doesn’t see all that often either. “Chaos huh?” That means this one leads to chaos magic right? She might have read the book about magic, but her first attempt at creating the nodes to do magic with backfired badly.
She remembers laying all the ingredients down on the alter, eating the berries, and slicing.. something? A terrible pain, and then nothing.. Just waking up at home aching still but fainter, as if days have passed and is intermixed with sleepless nights, but without the ingredients and no Node within her grasp either. It was a frustrating time, still feels frustrating actually, but it doesn’t mean she is giving up either. She’ll just need to try again someday. And in the meantime, she does have a Fire Node she could experiment with at some point.
Picking up the crystal she brings it to the counter after having noted down what the owner might want for it in return. “Would it be possible to trade this gem for these fishes?” She says in a cheerful tone after placing the gem on the table and taking of her backpack. Zipping open the compartment with the fishes, she places them gentle next to the crystal. Taking careful note in her head on their worth, and stopping at a number she thinks might just be enough.
