Taj grinned as Maddie worked his way around the empty cages. He looked confused that they were empty. He turned to stare at his father, still sort of squatted down beside the cage.

"adad, ereht seibab on?" he grumbled, getting to his feet to look into the next larger cage.

Mystery's lips twitched upwards. He had been able to understand him entirely. Maddie not only spoke backwards in sentence form, his words were entirely backwards also. He was Taj's mad raven after all.

Placing the money down for the man, the god smiled. Perhaps the boy would get a creature to suit him. Whatever it was, he knew his son would love it.

With soundless step and gentle smile did Silence wander the Pantheon; at his side, following a step behind was a demoness dressed in silks. She carried within her arms some sort of wrap; richly embroidered and obviously not her own. Endiovar stopped at the harker's display, curious but quietly watching as a boy was given a darkling creature.

'I believe we shall try, would you not like a new companion, Alaska?' Without words but surely heard, even so - Alaska would bring forth the required gold so that her master might take up one of the numbers.

At Eft

Another customer! Rune was beyond pleased. At this rate, surely the pets would all be gone soon, and he could be on his way. He watched the pair as they approached, raising an eyebrow at the way the young boy spoke. The merchant could not understand one word. But, money is money, so he took the money from them and watched to see what number they pulled.

"An 8!" He rushed off to his trailer to fetch the prize. He emerged soon after carrying something small and rounded, though he seemed to be clutching it quite tightly. It wasn't very big, about the size of an ostrich egg, certainly not as big as the last egg that he'd pulled from his collection.

"Be carefully with this one lad. Maji are mischievous things. Better keep a tight grip on this here egg." He said as he passed the egg over.

The boy would notice that it was not heavy at all, in fact it was very light, but it wings were fluttering quite hard, trying to make an escape.

For Syrie

Rune watched as the next pair approached. He felt there was something different about the male, but what it was he couldn't put his finger on it. He watched them carefully before the female approached the stall. The merchant quickly took the money from her and watched as her hand delved into the bag of numbers.

"A five for you me lady!" He cried, before running back to his trailer once more. If anyone in the crowd had been watching from the start of his sales, they would certainly start to wonder how so many animals managed to fit in such a small space.

Moments later he returned with an animal very similar in stature to the very first prize. It was another Guardian, though this one seemed much more boistrous than the female that had been sold earlier.

"You've got the other Guardian! This boy here is certainly a handful, but very loving at the same time." He nodded as he ushered the creature to its new family.

Although Alaska was the one to initially put hands on the small creature, it struggled and thrashed until Endiovar placed one elegant hand upon it's crested head; then the tiny beak that had been clacking while the Guardian struggled stilled, it's bright eyes looking around as it settled in Alaska's arms.

"Lohrka." Silence murmured the name softly and smiled at Rune; obviously the other man had no clue what stood before him - absolutely fine by Endi. "And now perhaps I will try." This he spoke aloud in a voice that held within it library-quiet or the heavy silence of the grave. Once more, gold flashed as Rune's fee was paid for the second time.

At Syrie

Rune watched as the man silenced the rowdy creature. Interesting he thought as he looked on. I might have to learn that trick myself.

The merchant was excited to see the man now wanted a turn. His greedy eyes growing wide at the thought of the ever growing money bag tied to his waist. "Number thirteen!" He cried before disappearing again.

He emerged soon after, carry another egg, though it looked very different from the previous two, and also appeared to be quite heavy, judging by the way the man labored to carry it over. It had spikes all over it, though they were rounded on the top so it was not too difficult to carry, and was about the size of a large melon.

"This here be a very valuable egg sir. Inside it be a Riding Dragon, on of the most fearsome steeds one may have." He didn't mention that they could be quite temperamental.

Maddie's eyes went large as he watched the egg. He reached out to touch it gently, but then glanced up at his father before taking it. "Gub. Gub ytterp."

Taj smiled, reaching out to take the fluttering egg after a moment. He was certain that Maddie would let it go at some point, but he placed his own hand over his son's. The egg shivered for a moment, then its wings fluttered it closer to the boy. He bowed to the man. Maddie would pick a name out later he supposed. Siddhi would be back soon and he would make certain that she took the egg with Maddie when he went back to his room. Maybe they would even find a temporary cage for the creature though it did not seem to want to go anywhere now.

"Gub," he said glancing happily at his father. He petted the shell gently as if knowing it might be fragile.

(( Certs are up to date, and are now found in the first post)

It seemed one of the eggs at least was quite eager to reveal what his beneath it. It was the first one that was sold, given to the purple woman. She might notice that there were sounds coming from inside, though certainly not chirping and pecking like one would expect from a bird. Rather, the sound was a scratching one. Peculiar.

Soon enough the shell would give way, revealing what was inside.

A baby Harpy.

Definitely not something one would consider a pet.

"Oh!" Lisana said, blinking in surprise as she began to hear sounds coming from inside the egg. Then she saw a crack, her expression almost on the borderline of tears. She had done nothing to make it crack. Her teeth tugged her lower lip, chewing slightly as she watched the egg.

In a few moments, the egg was entirely cracked. The shell fell way and she stared at the feathery and sort of downy. She watched him a moment as he slowly sat up in her arms. Then he began to squirm as if wanting free of her. The instant she put him down, he took off. She blinked, chasing after him. Just as she caught up with him, he simply sat down wings wrapped around him as if tired suddenly.

"You are quick, little one," she said softly picking him up again. "And wore yourself out too. Hmm.... a name for you... You are quick like the wind and you have feathers so... Zephyros." She cuddled him repeating, "Zephyros is your name." She laughed lightly. It would be fun watching the others chase him.


((Definitely Zephyros for his name. And thank you. He's adorable. ))

Cute things? A game-like element? Adi couldn't possibly resist, and had had to run off to find Rio to get the money from him. He did give her some, of course, he was easy to persuade. It didn't take much more than 'Pleeease?' and puppy eyes. The werewolf then dashed back to the stall to try her luck.

Rune was beaming. He'd sold over half of his stock. He made a mental note to try the game type sale again, as it seemed that the customers enjoyed the element of surprise in their purchase.

Another customer and more money, Rune couldn't be happier.

"A six!" he yelled as the wolf girl drew out her number.

He went to retrieve her prize, and soon returned with another egg in his hands. An egg which was on fire?

"Don't worry, the flames are harmless. It's a phoenix egg!" He said as he handed the egg over to the girl.

Where there were pets, often there was Elana. Her auburn hair had grown out and been trimmed, so that only the faintest bit of pink and blue remained at the tips of her chin-length hair. Seeing people walking away with baby animals and... creatures in their arms, she had to invetigate. Yes, there was a man, handing a flaming egg to someone. Her eyes grew round. A phoenix?! Oh, she had to see if she could manage to play this game!

She dug around in her jean pockets, pulling out bits of money Tempest had let her have, or that she'd been given in exchange for something else. She counted it carefully, not being adept with numbers. Yes, she had enough, with some left over in fact! Delighted, she surged forward, money offered eagerly. Taking her turn, she stuck her hand into the bag that apparently had numbered tokens in it. Concentrating hard, hoping for good luck, she chose one with her fingertips and drew it out.

Priscilla clung to her doll. She stared at all the people looking around at the things they were doing. It seemed to be a party but she was not exactly in the party mood. Yes, she was safe but still she missed everyone she had known. Arctang had been really nice to her, so had everyone else. Taj, the people with them that had taken care of the bad people, but she still did not know what to do.

The cages drew her and she wondered what type of animals were in them. Empty. Were they all gone? She stepped up on her tippytoes to put the money on the counter beside the man.

"Can I see the pets?" she asked softly, staring at the fellow. "What are they like?"

For Tal

Rune watched as two more stepped forward, first an older woman, drawing out the number 2. He took her gold then ran off to grab her prize from inside his trailer.

Moments later he returned carrying another sleeping ball of fur, similar to the blue one he had sold earlier, but much more natural in color. Another Dheln.

"Here ya go." He said as he handed it over.

For Eft

Rune watched the little girl come forward and put her money on the table. Sure she was just a small girl, but that didn't bother Rune. Any paying customer was well worth it.

He watched as she pulled the number 9 from the bag, and went to retrieve her prize. It was another Dheln, sleeping just like the one before.

"Here ya go little miss." He passed the snoozing bundle of fluff to the youngster.

Rune went to check his bag to see how many numbers he had left. Only 4 numbers remained in the bag that had once been full. He hoped others would soon come forward to claim them so he would be on his way.

(( Okay, gonna close this soon, there are 4 pets left! So if you want one, come and post!!! ))

Pris blinked in surprise. "I can.. have him?" Taking him gently, she smiled at Rune. "Thank you. I will take good care of him."

Wait until Arctang saw him.

"Um, I think I'll call you, Sandstone." she stated, carrying him close to her and her doll. Now to find Arc.
