“So, how much for the shape shifting stone?”
“Only twenty five gold coins dear.”
“Twenty five? You have to be kidding me.”
“Other merchants sell it for fifty, some for even more. Twenty five or no deal for you, sweetie.”
Irene knew the old lady from the shop too well. She knew her stones were some of the best in Luria and the truth was that they were pretty cheap. She sighed and took twenty five coins out of her pocket. “Here is your money ma’am.”
