They got into mage city and were in awe at the colors and magic happening left right and center.
"Buy yourself some green lizard tarts." A woman called. "I sell the best in town."
"How about the eyes of a griffin. Three hundred centuries old and best in the city." Another man called.
Jasmine watched as a bird flew above and then came landing into a woman who walked by, a man followed past and disappeared into the thin space.
"This is amazing." Jasmine said in absolute awe of the city that stood behind her.
Anna didn’t seem to see it that way.
She was hovering down right behind Jasmine as they moved through the crowds.
"Can we just make it to wherever we are going." Anna scowled very irritated.
It was night but the city was still very bright and vibrant.
It was alive.
"Just hold onto me and stay close." Jasmine said as they went through the crowd.
Jasmine looked up at the different stores that hung from left and right to see which was more likely to direct her in the direction where she would find something that would lead her to where she was headed.
She saw a sign that hung with a writing on it.
She turned back to a not so pleased looking Anna and asked. "What does that sign read?"
"I didn’t ask you to be an illiterate." Anna snapped back.
Jasmine shook her head and wondered why she had even bothered to ask in the first place.
They continued to head up down the street and soon there was some noises of what seemed to be celebration.
As they got closer they saw a procession leading up to them. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Jasmine grabbed Anna’s hand and they steered off the main Road.
A number of horses passed along with some carriages and the people waved and greeted.
Cheered at them.
Jasmine watched as the procession went further down the road.
There was a woman beside her.
"What’s going on please?" Jasmine asked.
"It’s the grand Mage." The woman replied through the loud crowd.
"What’s the grand Mage?" Jasmine asked further confused,
The woman looked at her as if she was a stranger and ignored her.
"Let’s go." Jasmine said pulling Anna alongside.
Then they went past the noisy crowd and were soon down the streets once again.
Jasmine looked around and saw a young boy passing.
"Hey." She called out to him. "Where can I find the mages?"
He crossed his brows together. "Which of the mages. There are so many of them."
"The fire serpent flames." She said.
His face went grim and he started to back out as if she had slapped him.
She gently caught his wrist and pulled him back to her.
"Hey hey. I’m not trying to hurt you." She said "I just want to know where I can meet a mage."
The boy looked at her warily.
He seemed very cautious and then he pointed down the street at a store. "Go down there and ask the woman at the bar. She would tell you what you need to know."
And then he withdrew his hands from her grip and ran away.
"You even scared that child." Anna said.
