I didn’t find the marketplace right away. It took me a few turns and a couple of hours, and I even thought that maybe it had already been dismantled for the week. Layla had told me it only stayed up for a few days every couple of weeks. But finally I found it again and it was busting with activity.
I hesitated before entering it. Ugly creatures strolled from stand to stand, just like the fae would in Sun City’s marketplace. It was quite disturbing to see them acting so normal. Some creatures were tall and wide and strong, others were small and weak, some seemed old, others looked quite young, and most of them had a hint of mythical. Of magic. Either they possessed it, or they were touched by it.
I had never seen so many different races in one place.
