21 21. SHOPPING SPREE WITHOUT CARE

Kuro talk with the one who were managing on the top floor, giving out his preferences. In a minute, he found us a big white wolf. Apparently, after making a contract with it, they can change their shape into smaller one.

I said it's a wolf but it had horn on top of its head and fangs like sabertooth. Its white fur was silky and thick yet it was chilly around it.

"This one is four star beast. It can utilize sub magic of ice, after water. Don't worry about the cold, because it can adjust its temperature to suit its owner" said the shopkeeper.

"We'll take that." Kuro nodded in satisfaction and then turn around to look at Miya, who was on her tip toe, looking at Kuro with her bright, expectancy gaze.

"Is it my turn now? Is it? Can I choose now?" Asked her non stop in single breath.

Kuro laugh."yes little one. Tell your dad, what do you want"

"I want pink color! Cute, adorable and can fly!!!" She shoot both of her arms up.

Kuro look at the shopkeeper and he grinned widely.

"We have just the right one!" He brought us to one place with a big goldsn cage. It looks like a peacock with a short feathered tails. Its glowing soft pinkish, and its eyes were like the eyes of deer. It had three gems embedded on its forehead. It was glittering red, and look really pretty.

"This one can fly really fast and can control fire. Its also four stars beast and a little bit wind attributes. It could use its wings to create a torrent of small tornado"

"Awesomeeee. I like it"

"Then, we'll be taking it both. How about you, my wife? Does anything hold you fancy here?"

I shook my head because really.. I don't find any of the beast that resonates with me.

Don't get me wrong, all the beast pet here sure does look great and strong, but none of them interest me much. I'm just basically window shopping here and it's a bonus to see Ailee and Miya's smilling face getting what they want.

Kuro told them to prepare the beast and slowly, approached me.

"They didn't get to buy anything yesterday, do you think this will make them really happy?" He asked in a whisper. I chuckled.

"They are really honest with those who they are close with. If you see them smiling, then it is at it is"

"That's good then." Then he cleared his throat. "Girls, lets look around different shop. Lets go and spend a lot of coins around this town"

"Yay!" Both of them pumped their arms and follow after Kuro like a small duckling. They had a serious look on them and it was like they were having a serious talk.

"We totally score for a rich daddy, didn't we?" Whispered Miya to Ailee. They really thought they were whispering, when in actuality, both of us can hear it crystal clear.

"Yeah. I don't care if he is a wuss or weak. As long as he had heavy pocket full of cash. Ka-ching."

"Shhh. Money is not that important, Miya. Its all about heart!" Miya tapped her chin before nodded in agreement.

"Okay. Money and heart" I rolled my eyes and thought how they act like a bunch of teenagers in that young bodies of theirs.

They soon excused themselves to the inn, excited to pet and play with their new pets. I don't blame them.

We took a stroll and saw a bard singing out few stories with a group of street performances. The bard had similar to harp but the strings were glowing blue.

"It's a mana string. To make it sound more softly and soothing one heart." Explained Kuro. Wow, no wonder everyone was entranced by him.

There were once a boy who stood tall and brave,

Wise and powerful that catches our ears

Prodigy among the best the world ever crave

He was lost for three hundred years,

Then the next day he appear to save

The whole land that trembled with fears

Peerless beauty of jade

That make Women weep with tears

Ohh.. yaqesh, yaqesh

Where he walk, the thunder roar

Where he dwell the darkness descent

while people fear him they respect

A celestial being that makes our heart soar

Oh… yaqesh yaqesh

Woman will fall on their own blood

Crazed by his grace, beauty and power

Where he walk, the the storm will flood

For he is almost a god that gains millions worshipper

He comes,

And then he was gone with our woes

Not before swallowing the nation's corrupts

And the mountain Deferh's walking corpses

Now we called him and sang his names

Oh yaqesh, yaqesh…

The name that had many names and fames

Trail of blood will soon followed where yaqesh set his foot on land

Oh yaqesh,yaqesh

Woe our fate for yaqesh had gone

Hiding Behind the cloud, yaqesh kor…
