Zira the Mystic

The magic shop had attracted much of Lilly's attention and so she decided to wander down the dingy alley toward the sketchy building. Upon reaching the door she realized that "Jin's" on the sign had been scratched out and had "Zira's" written above it. Lilly shrugged and moved inside where she stood in the entrance of a small room occupied by a small, round table covered with a red and gold cloth held down by an orb. Past the table and its two chairs was a doorway with beads in lue of a door, "Hello?", she called out into the dimly candle lit windowless room and beyond. For a time there was no response until she heard a muffled noise followed by shambling in what heard like a cluttered room.

Heels loudly hit the wood clad floor, getting closer and closer until a woman burst through the head door. In doing so she made quite the stunning entrance...for a moment, as the bead came back down and hit her in the face and getting her tangled in the long strings of green and blue spheres. She fumbled then tripped, hitting the floor, then sprang back up and attempted to recover from her embarrassment.

She was a short girl of 5'4" with brown skin and dark brown hair, wavy and long and falling to her waist in the back and two sets of locks coming over shoulders but just above her firm breasts. Those twin orbs were smaller than Lilly's, but a bit larger than the average woman. A beautiful face and a tight and well rounded ass combined with her tits made her quite the jewl of whatever land she called home. Her manner of dress was that of vagabonds who roamed the lands in wooden carriages either alone or in convoys. A frilly white blouse adorned with gold trimmings showcased her cleavage and a long black skirt came down to the ankles of her brown leather high heeled boots. A beautiful red bandana went across her forehead and tied in the back under layers of chestnut locks. Gold bangles on her wrists and big hoop earrings accompanied by a few studs along the edge of her ears as well as a couple of necklaces completed the ensemble.

Moments of awkward silence had passed before the woman spoke, "I, am the Mystical Zira! Welcome to my humble shop of wonders! Please, have a seat...", waving her arms around dramatically. Lilly sat down and Zira followed, "What brings you to me girl?"

"I don't know..."

Zira took a pause then continued, "...Alright. So you were just curious?"

Lilly nodded in response, "Yes, I don't see much from within the castle walls. Oh, yeah! I'm the princess and this is my first time in the filthy peasant area. You're run down alley shop drew my attention and I just wandered in..."

Zira was slightly angered by Lilly's remarks but managed to retain her professionalism, "Okay. So. Since you live such a sheltered life, would you like me send you on a grand adventure?! Like those from story books you read to you when you were a child?" Lilly nodded, "Then you've come to the right place girl. I am in need of some mystical items and you could help me in exchange for adventure and blah blah whatever yada yada..." Being the gullible girl Lilly was, she was easily entranced by the woman's promise of excitement and adventure and sat there, starry-eyed, awaiting Zira's words. "Good. Good...Now let us look into my crystal ball and gaze upon an item of power."

Zira waved her hands over the orb in the middle of the table and dropped a little smoke bomb for added effect. Lilly coughed as the smokey mist clouded to room then broke away at the light that began eminating from the ball. It showed the image of an amulet, silver with intricate designs and a emerald embedded in the center. It fell away to the scene of an abandoned house in the middle of a untamed grove surrounded by a sea oaks. The image faded and Zira waved the smoke away from the table, "Ahhh, you are to journey to the Westwood and find an abounded house and retrieve the Amulet of Dumand. Go girl! Go!" Lilly swiftly pushed herself from the table and ran out the door, her chest a flutter with the excitement she had been starved of her entire life. Zira ,on the other hand, grinned evilly knowing that every item she sought was either cursed or well guarded. She would never take the risk herself and often sent fools to retrieve these artifacts for her and found pleasure in the effects they had on those fools as well as the customers she'd sell them to.
