The Lost Gods(#WATTYS 2017)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 ◆◇◆The Traders city

I arrived in a dusty street, much like my image of how Egyptian deserts would be. I was surrounded by stalls and buildings as tall as giraffes. There was chatter every where and the normal smell of sweat and foods was wafting everywhere. I noticed that all the people were giving me strange looks. Not the kind of look that says whoa-you-just-teleported-to-a-strange-place, but the kind of look that says who-the-heck-are-you. I shrieked as Master Zander arrived behind me. I stepped back in shock ,almost tripping on a reddish fruit with a twig sprouting out of either sides. I turned my glare to Zander as he approached me. He frowned bending his head to the side before saying,

"We're here to buy the materials you'll need In the hunting school"

He put his hand in his pocket before bringing out a yellow parchment. He gave it to me and I opened it up. I noticed that the hand writing was swift and bended slightly to the left. He person who wrote obviously used a quilt and black Indian ink.

I quickly went to catch up with Zander. He stopped in front of a shop that had a large plastered sign that was yellow which said, Vale's robes and hunting accessories.

He entered inside and we were greeted by a beautiful sight. Five golden pillars held up a stairs in the middle of the shop. There were several racks of robes of different colors. I eyed a black one with simple golden flecks in the shoulders .The floors were some kind of glittery substance that seemed to bounce like sawdust. Zander grabbed my hand and took me to an old woman. She wore a widows net and a black hat. She was measuring a boy of my age. His dusty brown hair and green eyes seemed to compliment his slightly freckled face very well. She had just finished measuring the boy when she disappeared around the back racks. I went up to the boy shyly rubbing my arm. I looked down at the floor before saying,
