Chapter 8 - A nice stroll through the City

Jiembe arrived at his house at dusk his home was a humble place it had a wooden frame and was built with red bricks, the windows where tinted with yellow and orange patterns Cris crossing, it had a small wooden balcony on the second floor, the door was made out of a light oak there was a little wooden fence with a small but colorful well taken care of garden. As he went inside he saw his mom and dad talking and laughing. When they saw him Alkina and Mokk smiled and gave him a hug and welcomed him back.

So how did it go, Is the new light glyph a success?Mokk asked

Jeimbe smiled at his dad and explained the details of the hunt and the use of the light glyph and it's effects.

Mokk and Alkina were astonished, since they both acomlished And had the title of Zakitok they made several inquiries as to how the glyph functioned. Jeimbe answeed thier questions and went up to his bed room and went to bed.

The fallowing morning jeimbe woke of feeling refreshed, he decided to go for a walk in the markets of the city of Apotorek was a small city compared to the 4 great city's in the kindome, it was on the edges of the kindome close to the borders of the barbarian expanse and and the United merchant city's of Dorian (UMD). Trade was the main source of income in the city as it was close to the UMD although only merchants who where desperate would make the trip to the city due to the close proximity to the barbarian expanse it was not rare for a few caravans to vanish.

He asked his parents if they wanted any thing from the markets and left the house early the sky was clear and the sun shining, the city's roads where built from cobble and gravel, the street was filled with carriages and people on thier mount the most common was a horse occasionally a group of adventures would pass each with a different type of mount sometimes a reswand not many building stood out except for a few of the guild halls and a couple merchant posts, the real eye catcher was the great strong hold in the city where knights and Zaki trained, patrolled and rested as they guarded the city. The building was huge spanning almost 600 meters in length and 400 in with with a height of almost 250 meters tall, its walls were a white marble like material that was carved dwarven runes that made the walls and fortress glow the main fortress was also the city gates and there where a 6 axillary fortress towers as well as 4 massive watchtowers at each corner with powerful telescopes that each one covered 270 degrees and could see up to a distance of 6 miles.

The knights and Zaki were some of the best trained and well equipped in the kingdom.

As Jiembe admirers the city's defensive capacity tinkering with ideas on how to improve the defensive efficiency while he roomed the city's streets. the market place has always He saw somthing in a merchents stall that cought his eye, it was a old looking pice of jewlery that had vary tiny dwarven runes Ingraved the runes were so small that only his increasible eye sight could see them, the bracelet looked worn and Lacked any gems or precious materials. Jiembe aproched the merchants stall.

Good morning sir, I was wandering where did you get that bracelet and is it for sale?

The merchant like any good sales man smiled brilliantly and responded in a polite manner, "Good morning young sir it is indeed a valuable item and to get it was filled with hardships..."

Jiembe laughed" this thing is made out of copper and it looks worn, I'd pay at most 3 coppers for it.

The merchant lost his composure for a brief moment as he wasn't expecting a 10 year old to so quickly call him on his bull shit as a experience sales man he almost thought he was talking to a grown up....

" young sir, although it worn it's actually a family hair loom it would take at least 5 coppers and a shining to part with it." The merchent said as he looked at it as a old family member.

Jeimbe started laughing really hard as he looked at the old trader," Did you really think the old family heirloom gag would work? That's like the oldest trick in the book. Look sir as you have made me laugh a few times I'll give you 3 coppers and 2 shillings for the bracelet."

The trades man had a incredulous look on his face as he looked at Jiembe, then asked" are you really 10 years old?

At this comment jeimbe smiled at the man, took out 3 coppers and 2 shillings and handed them to the trades man.

The merchant reluctantly took the money and handed the bracelet over.

Jiembe put the bracelet in his bag and began to walk back to the house to study the bracelet.

Jiembe arrived home and began to inspect the bracelet, although he could see the bracelet had runic i symbols he couldn't make out the finer details, he grabbed a microscope he had invented around the time he was 6 and placed the bracelet under it. What he saw was incredible craftsmanship the runes that he had seen with his eyes were already small enough that ordinary people without his enhanced Physic couldn't see yet when he saw the runes through his microscope he saw that there were many layers of microrunic symboled that looked completely different than dwarven runes.

After inspecting for some time he channeled mana
