Large wagons of items are brought into this part of the country. People from all over come to sell there goodies, trade and to buy. Even some people come to just look, anyone is allowed here. There are nice people, and even rude people selling and buying, just watch who you mess with. It's possible you'd end up with a surprise.

Mina squinted her eyes, and peered out as far as she could. The view of large wagons came into view, sending chills of delight up Mina's spine. She clapped happily and began to run towards the wagons. Once upon there selling grounds, Mina began to walk around and look. Toys, cloths, food and everything could be seen. Mina smiled and held her hands in front of her stomach as she looked, everything seemed so lovely to her. One wagon stood out particle, the glass bottles of special drinks shown bright in the sunlight. The bright colors attracted Mina to the cart like a bug to a zapper. Mina looked at the many brands of drinks and picked out four bottles. It was quite a bit for herself, but she might need it sometime, and maybe she would share with Wolf. Mina paid the wagon owner a fair amount of gold, and thanked him for his time. She held the bag tightly in her arms and began to look around some more. As she walked around the stares of men made her feel uneasy, but they wouldn't even get close enough to touch her hair. Mina speed walked over to a wagon with some carts for sale. The carts were wooden, with one wheel. The person pulling it, would pull it from the front and the luggage would go on the back. Mina thought for a long moment about buying it, but soon turned it down. She spun around to continue on her way. Mina ran into someone standing really close behind her, it startled her how she ran into him and how close he was to her. The man reached his hairy, rough hand out towards her, in a perverted way. Mina reached into her bag and pulled out one of the glass bottles. She hit him on the face with it, and made a large smacking sound as it must have struck the bone in his face. The man instantly put his hand to his face, and backed away with his other hand up in fright. Mina looked at him angry and took a step forward, the bottle ready to hit. He ran off, and disappeared into the crowds. Mina shook her head in disgust and walked off, she couldn't believe how bold that man was, and how he acted towards her. The last things she purchased were a pair of leather sandals made from cowhide, fresh vegetables and fruits, some bathing supplies, and a case for her sword. This case could shield it from rain and any other water access. This cover only worked until the sword was removed from it's case. Mina walked around the wagons for some last looks, but nothing appealed to her. Mina shrugged and held her items tightly. She wasn't quite ready to head back to the spare room she stayed in, Mina decided she would head off somewhere else. She headed out of the markets, and back towards the direction of Wolf's house.

Mina slipped on her new sandals and tied them tightly around he feet. Shoes felt weird, for she hardly ever wore them. Mina looked down at her tan feet within the black sandals, and smiled, she was happy with her purchase. Mina spun around several times, as if she was dancing with the bag holding the rest of the things she bought. Her small dress like outfit twirling with her. Mina stopped slightly dizzy, and laughed to herself. She just needed to get out of the house earlier, she just was not use to sleeping there. Mina smiled and walked down the trail which she came, something felt weird to her. Like she was still being watched, maybe the man earlier just spooked her or someone was really watching her. Mina stared out at country like area surrounding her. She could not see anything, and it make her feel uneasy. Mina began to walk at a slightly faster pace, with one hand on her sword and one hand on her bag of goodies.

Mina's bottom lip quivered and she began to run along the dirt trail. The one thing that scared her the most, was being totally alone. Ever since she had gotten Miyo, she had finally had someone to accompany her. Mina really hoped no one was going to come out and attack her, she felt defenseless without her helpful Miyo. Mina continued to run, holding tightly with both hands on the bag holding her items. She felt scared, once for the first time in a long time. Mina was starting to grow angry at herself for being such a baby, but she couldn't help but continue to run. The feeling of someone watching her faded, as she came closer to the house she stayed at. Mina let out a sigh of relief and walked to rest of the way. She did not really feel like going back on the property, but she mine as well do so. Mina climbed over to front gate, and walked along the path leading towards the house.

Looking around, carrying a large sack, Yuna moved through the market, trying to find a trade house. Her eyes, dark chocolate brown, searched, trying to move without being seen. She didn't like being so far from home, but she had to now. She had to be far, in order to get money for her family. She was sure someone would pay big bucks for the meat of a young boar. she had felt bad. After all, killing a little thing was wrong. She knew it, but she had to help her family. Her father's black smith shop was doing badly.

Looking around, Yuna put the hood over her head and walked into a dark alley. Maybe someone here would help.

"Hello? I-Is anyone here? her voice echoed off walls.

Her steps bounced some more as she moved about. She had to get to someone who could help her out. She really wanted to be able to help her family. her hand moved, now stroking gently across the top of her egg. It was going to hatch soon, since her birthday wasn't too far away.

" Please help!!" she cried out, unsure of what to do. Yuna felt a little sad. Why was it so hard to find someone right now? Was it becasue she was so far from the normal market. She had to be able to sell the piglet before she returned home, so all wasn't wasted.

Rain allowed mina to do as shed wished. She called her little Nica to her lap and held onto her. She didnt want to leave her partner unlike mina who rain hadnt seen a partner with. She sighed and closed her eyes letting mina take her to the market. She yawned a bit and layed her had down on nica taking a small nap till they got to the market. Once there she felt so odd in a wheel chari beacuse every one stared at her. She pulled her hat down over her head embarsed. She had wanted to walk so much but it hurt her to do that

Mina pushed her friend around in the market, until they came across a mysterious stand. It was the same one as before, that she had gotten the potion from, a long time ago. Mina pushed Rain through the curtain flaps, and walked in herself. "Rain, tell her what you need." She told her friend, setting some money of her lap. Mina then walked out of the place without any further words. She figured her friend was going to be alright, alone for a little while. She continued down the market, window shopping at some of the stores. She saw the whine carts, but only passed by them. Mina didn't even acknowledge there goodness, she was trying to stop her drinking. And only sometimes would she treat herself to the whine, which had been stored at home. She kept on walking, until one cart began to take her view. Mina strode closer, examining the items of the wagon. At first, she could not tell what they were., but soon the man at the cart told her they were cigars. Mina shook her hands in front of her face, she would never buy one of those. She stepped away from the wagon, and began to search again. The market seemed unusually empty today, which gave Mina the chills.

Rain watched mina hand her the money and was confused. She looked at mina as she left and then the lady and bit her lip "Oh um..." She had no idea what she needed so she didnt know what to say. She blushed some embarsed as she sat in her chair looking so stupid. She sighed and wished mina didnt leave. She held Nica in her lap and sighed

An hour had passed, and Mina had found nothing. Often she couldn't find anything to buy, for she was usually picky on what she spent her money on. She began to wander back towards the mysterious hut, which she left Rain in. It confused Mina that her friend had not come out yet, and that maybe she needed help. She went on her way, looking at a few things as she went. When she came back to the hut, she hesitated before walking in. Sure enough, there was her friend, sitting there in her wheelchair. Mina sighed, smacking her head. She didn't know she needed to explain to Rain what to do, but she guessed she mine as well now. "Rain, you need to tell the lady what's wrong." She said calmly, pointing the the lady behind the counter. The old lady was looking rather annoyed, and eyed Rain. Mina folded her arms, and began to tap her foot impatient.
