The sun was bright, but with the threatening of rain by the dark clouds that were moving in from the north. Though there would be rain sometime soon, the residence of Adeluna didn’t pay any mind.One traveler did, A young woman moved quickly through the crowd of people. She had just hitched her house and it was time for supplies. Her new home near the viren’s forest needed many things to be updated. It was a quaint place, but it needed homey touches and food.
As Katerina made her way through the mass of people, she finally made it to the marketplace. It was filled with many different vendors. Clothes, jeweler, different foods, armor, and so much more. The wolf demon stood frozen for a moment wondering what she should get first. “What to do first?…” She thought to herself as she glanced around. Her eyes catching glimpse of the tall white marble walls of the city. The houses covered half, but the wall still entered the sky high above.
“Clothes.” The red- hair woman said as she look down at her clothes she had thrown on. A brown low cut leather vest over a button up white top, leather brown pants and thigh high brown boots. This was now her usual attire, but it needed something more. Her children also needed clothes, and much more blankets than the house held. With a sigh, she walked on while looking at each vendor.
As she made her way along the mass of vendors, her eyes caught sight of a waist coat. The arms and shoulders a teal with pearls lining in diamond shapes along the half sleeves. A smile curved on her lips as she touched the smooth leather. “This would go perfect with my outfit.” She thought as she made her way up to the high collar. “Yep. Getting it.” Katerina thought as she paid the vendor. Also, buying a few dresses and shoes for her girls.
“Clothes. Check.” Katerina mumbled to herself as she continued on. Far in the distance, a steel wolf ran into the crowd. No one had ever seen a wolf made of pure steel, with gears inside that you could seen. The wolf made its way up to her master. She didn’t need to bark once when finally reached Katerina. The wolf demons fingertips touched her head and continued on.
The red-haired woman’s eyes caught site of a few vendors selling blankets. Instead of making her way towards them, a commotion caught her attention. “Just walk away, Kat..” The wolf demon said to herself, then sighed and turned in the direction of the gathered crowd.
Pushing her way to the front, she saw a teen aged boy on the ground, his face bloody. “You want to steal from me!” The older man kicked the boy in the side, making him drop an apple on the stone ground. The man took out the sword and raised it. “You know what the penalty is for sealing, kid?” The man chuckled as if he was enjoying this.
“Damnit…” Cursed the wolf demon as she moved forward in a blur. Her sword appeared in a mass of flames and they soon dissipated. As the man brought down his weapon, Katerina was in between the boy and the older man; their swords connecting. “You will not touch that boy.” The wolf demon’s eyes were stern as she stared into the vendors eyes. Pushing against his sword, he fell backward.
Katerina took that moment to turn around and help the boy up. “You wench. He is a thief!” The vendor yelled as he rose his sword again. “He is just a boy. Now get out of here…” She patted the boy on his shoulder and he ran off into the crowd. “Now do you want to put that sword down? Or will I have to make you?” The wolf demon held her sword to the side as she spoke the the man. Not really caring for the fight ahead. The boy was safe.
