A Sparks Flame: Chapter 5

  Early Monday morning, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thick canopy of the glasslike ceiling, casting a golden glow on Agneyastra's gleaming glass armor. The armor, a feat of craftsmanship, shimmered with iridescent hues as if it were alive. The reflective surface reflected the surrounding landscape, making her appear like a radiant specter gliding through the heart of Dweller City.

  Agneyastra's horse, a magnificent creature forged from fire and coal, exuded an otherworldly warmth. Its hooves seemed to barely touch the ground as it carried its fearless rider towards the Dweller Warrior training building. The rhythmic sound of its gallop echoed through the streets, announcing Agneyastra's arrival.

  As they approached the training building, Agneyastra's eyes caught a glimpse of Marudeva, he stood near the entrance, engaged in conversation with Ramil. Agneyastra dismounted her fiery steed with grace, landing on the sandy ground without a sound. Her presence commanded attention, as the glimmering armor and its intricate designs caught the eyes of onlookers. With each step she took towards the entrance.

  Her gloved hand reached for the handle of the heavy door, its wood polished to a sheen. As she turned it, the door creaked open to reveal a spacious training hall, filled with the scent of sweat and seasoned warriors. Upon hearing the door open, Ramil and Marudeva turned their attention towards Agneyastra. Marudeva's grizzled face broke into a weathered smile.

  “Good morning,” Agneyastra's voice cut through the silence.

  Ramil and Marudeva entered the building, greeting Agneyastra with a casual “Morning.”

  As Agneyastra made her way down the grand hall, flanked by Marudeva and Ramil, Aurgelmir stood alongside Saichi near a colossal window that offered a breathtaking view of the vast training arena. Aurgelmir's eyes lit up as he caught sight of her, and he waved her over with an air of anticipation. “Did you think about it?” he asked, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and hope.

  Meanwhile, Ramil brushed past Agneyastra and extended his hand towards Saichi. “Good day, sir,” Ramil greeted the seasoned warrior with genuine warmth. “How is the family?” It was a customary gesture, but beneath the pleasantries.

  Aurgelmir steered Agneyastra a few paces away from the rest, creating a bubble of privacy amidst the bustling hall. Agneyastra cast a quick glance back towards Ramil's form, her gaze filled with conflict. “I can't,” she whispered, her voice heavy with disappointment. “Ramil truly desires this position.”

  Aurgelmir's eyes narrowed, an unmistakable disapproval etching across his face as he followed Agneyastra's gaze towards Ramil. “If we were facing ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, Ramil might make a halfway decent General,” Aurgelmir remarked sarcastically, a hint of resentment tainting his tone. “That is, if he wasn't too preoccupied indulging himself with his female comrades.”

  Agneyastra's eyes flickered downwards, her heart torn between loyalty and her own desires. “I simply find solace in helping those who have been ensnared by the clutches of demons,” she murmured softly, her voice tinged with determination. “I will not go against Ramil.” With that resolve, Agneyastra led the group into the resounding training arena.

  The training arena was a sprawling expanse, filled with anticipation and energy. Agneyastra perched on the bleachers, her muscles still tingling from her own rigorous practice session. She glanced at Ramil, a fellow warrior seated a few spots away, his silver armor gleaming in the daylight.

  In the center of the arena, three figures commanded attention. Aurgelmir stood tall with his broadsword glinting in the sun. Saichi, the stoic and revered general, was by his side, his presence exuding authority and wisdom. Marudeva the Leader of the Dwellers looked out the faces in the crowd.

  The air crackled with anticipation as Aurgelmir's voice boomed across the arena, commanding attention. “General Saichi, would you like to speak?” Every eye was trained on Saichi, as he stepped forward, his presence radiating power and respect.

  The training arena buzzed with anticipation as Saichi stood at the center, addressing the gathering of Warriors. His voice carried across the space, filled with a mix of authority and solemnity. “I am retiring to spend more time with my family,” Saichi announced, his gaze sweeping over the attentive faces before him. “I will be the one solely responsible for selecting my replacement.” A hushed murmur rippled through the crowd, curiosity and apprehension intermingling.

  Saichi gestured towards Marudeva, who stood nearby with a stack of papers in hand. “Marudeva will be handing out the papers to the chosen candidates. However, let it be known that if you choose not to compete for this opportunity, you will be resigning as a Warrior and no longer be allowed to return to the battlefield.”

  The weight of Saichi's decision hung heavy in the air, causing a shift in the demeanor of those present. Ramil, sitting among the crowd, couldn't help but smile as Marudeva handed him a paper. His eyes twinkled with a mixture of excitement and determination, knowing that this was a chance to prove himself.

  But Ramil's smile faded as he watched Marudeva approach Agneyastra. A sense of unease settled into his heart as he observed the conflicted expression on her face. With a heavy sigh, Agneyastra reluctantly accepted the paper, her eyes glistening with unspoken emotions.

  Ramil's curiosity got the better of him as he stood and followed Agneyastra towards Aurgelmir. It was a sight that filled Ramil with a sense of foreboding. Agneyastra spoke, her voice laced with disappointment and frustration. “Why act like you were going to give us a choice, when you were already planning to force me into this anyway?”

  Agneyastra's frustration boiled over, causing her to plant her feet firmly on the ground. She defiantly stuck her finger out, pointing it directly in Aurgelmir's face. But despite the intensity of the moment, Aurgelmir remained serene, his calm words acting as a soothing balm to the fire within Agneyastra. “Calm down,” Aurgelmir advised, his voice steady and composed.

  Yet Agneyastra's determination persisted, refusing to be quelled. “No,” she retorted, her voice tinged with both irritation and weariness. “I am tired of everyone making decisions for me.”

  Aurgelmir, ever the wise mentor, recognized the importance of understanding Agneyastra's desires. He pressed further, his voice gentle and curious. “What do you want for your future?”

  Agneyastra's brows furrowed in contemplation, uncertainty lacing her response. “I don't know,” she admitted with a hint of frustration, “but it's my life, and I should be the one who decides.”

  Aurgelmir nodded, acknowledging the validity of her statement. “Well, until you figure it out,” he proposed, “you can continue your training to become a general.”

  Angrily, Agneyastra kicked at the dirt beneath her feet, her expression marked by a mix of dissatisfaction and rebellion. “I don't want to be a warrior forever,” she declared.

  Aurgelmir's eyes studied Agneyastra, his words tinged with a touch of wisdom and encouragement. “But remember,” he said, “you mentioned how much you enjoyed helping others. As a general, you can guide and support them, becoming a beacon of strength and wisdom.”

  ***

  As the afternoon sun cast its warm golden glow upon the Dweller Warrior training building, Ramil approached with purpose in his step. With each stride, he could hear the faint sounds of clinking weights and the rhythmic thud of training swords, filling the air with an atmosphere of determination and discipline.

  Peering through the wide glass windows, Ramil's gaze fell upon the familiar sight of Agneyastra, her lithe figure gracefully hopping over the twirling rope. Beside her stood Aurgelmir, his gaze fixed upon his student, offering gentle guidance and encouragement. The echo of his words drifted to Ramil's ears, “A few more minutes and we are done for the day.”

  A bird of vibrant plumage perched upon the windowsill, its curious eyes locked onto the trio within. Ramil stepped inside, his eyes meeting Agneyastra's as she paused her rhythmic movements. A playful smile tugged at his lips as he spoke, “You can't help it, Agney.”

  Agneyastra, her breath slightly labored, arched an eyebrow inquisitively. “What do you mean?” she asked, curiosity dancing in her eyes.

  Ramil chuckled softly, a hint of mischief in his tone. “Always the teacher's pet, aren't you?” he teased, the playful banter between them filling the room with warmth.

  The jump rope came to a rest, as Aurgelmir's icy gaze locked onto Ramil. His stern expression revealed his disapproval. “We have reserved the gym for our training,” he stated firmly, a touch of authority underscoring his words.

  a small bird perched on the windowsill, its beady eyes fixed on Ramil in front of the gym, his determination apparent in his stance. “But I have to train as well,” Ramil insisted, his voice laced with a hint of desperation. He yearned to improve his skills, to become stronger and more formidable.

  Agneyastra, a fellow warrior, attempted to ease the tension. “Aurgelmir, it's okay,” she said, her voice soothing. “We can train more tomorrow. Ramil deserves his time too.”

  Aurgelmir, known for his tough and uncompromising nature, scoffed in response. “No, he can go somewhere else,” he retorted sharply. “You always give in to him, Agneyastra. It's about time someone stood up to his constant demands.”

  Undeterred by Aurgelmir's words, Ramil flashed a mischievous grin in Agneyastra's direction. “Not always,” he quipped, his eyes twinkling with a hint of playful defiance. “But I still keep offering.”

  Aurgelmir's frustration got the better of him. With a forceful shove, he propelled Ramil out of the gym, causing him to stumble back in surprise. However, instead of harboring any resentment, Ramil's smile only grew wider. Dusting himself off, he glanced back at Agneyastra and nodded appreciatively. With a newfound determination, he turned towards the gym's exit and began his journey home.

  As the sun cast its warm afternoon light upon Ramil's house, a small bird alighted upon the porch, and in a breathtaking display of magic, transformed into Alura. She held a tiny vial of glistening crimson blood in her delicate hand, her movements graceful and purposeful. With a cautious glance around, she brought the vial to her lips and took a sip, her eyes glistening with a mysterious power.

  In a swift motion, Alura's form morphed into that of Grace, her ethereal presence filling the air as she pushed open the creaking door and stepped inside. In the midst of his rigorous training, Ramil's muscular form glistened with perspiration, his shirtless torso revealing his dedication to his physical prowess.

  Caught in the mystifying grip of the moment, Grace paused just beyond the threshold, her eyes fixed upon Ramil's sculpted physique engrossed in rhythmical cadence. The sound of his breath mingled with the echoing clinks of metal, creating a melody of determination and unwavering discipline. She stood there, captured by the dance of muscles and the elegance of his movement, unable to tear her eyes away from the captivating sight before her.

  As Ramil paused his weightlifting and caught sight of Grace. Setting down the weights, he unzipped his pants, revealing the impressive expanse of his large member. With a mischievous grin on his face, Ramil beckoned for Grace to join him. “Don't be shy now,” he teased, “you've always yearned for it.”

  Grace's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she glanced over at Ramil's massive phallus. The tip gleaming in the dappled sunlight, as he caressed in his hand. Slowly, Grace made her way towards him, her steps tentative yet filled with anticipation. She couldn't help but comment on its grandeur. “It's very large,” she breathed, her words an understatement for the magnificent sight before her.

  Chuckling softly, Ramil shook his head. “Don't compare it to your husband's again. You act as if you've never seen it before, even when we laid together just a few days ago.”

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  Grace, a determined person ready to face the daunting challenge before her, as she steps closer to Ramil. Rami with a mischievous glimmer in his eye, delicately presents his arousal to hesitant Grace. “I don't know,” Grace murmurs.

  Unperturbed, Ramil's confidence radiates as he assures Grace, “Try it, place it upon your tongue, and let your mouth dance upon me.” With a gentle yet persuasive motion, he places manhood into the Grace’s waiting mouth.

  Seconds transform into an eternity as Grace closes their eyes, surrendering themselves to the symphony of Ramil’s member in her mouth. The initial skepticism begins to dissipate, replaced by a revelation of satisfaction that spreads across their face.

  “You feel so good,” Grace proclaims, With a steadiness in her gaze and a twinkle of anticipation in her eyes, Grace took him further into her mouth, as her hands gripping on his ballocks.

  “More, more!” he bellowed, his voice ringing with admiration and encouragement, as guided her with his hands. Grace to push beyond her limits, she goes faster with vigorous moisture. With a determined look in his eyes, he gripped her waist, as he peels away her garments as if they were made of paper.

  Slowly, he lowered her on to his manhood, Ramil's muscles strained and flexed as he exerted every ounce of his strength. Beads of sweat glistened on his brow, a testament to the intense effort he was trusting her onto him. With a determined look in his eyes, he gripped her, as switch position with him on top pushing into her.

  In that moment, time seemed to stand still. The gym faded into the background, overshadowed by Ramil's unwavering determination pushing himself more in to her. Each repetition became a battle, a testament to his unyielding spirit, wanting more pleasure. The moaning of her satisfaction echoed through the air, a melodic symphony of strength and perseverance.

  Ramil could hardly believe his eyes as he held Grace in his arms. The softness of her form was slowly fading away, replaced by a radiant glow. Her delicate features began to change, morphing into something otherworldly, her eyes now glistening with an ethereal light.

  Confusion flooded Ramil's mind as he tried to comprehend the transformation before him. “Who are you?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper, as if fearing that the answer might shatter the fragile reality he found himself in.

  In response, Alura smiled gently, a sense of familiarity and longing in her gaze. She reached into her belt, revealing a tube filled with a crimson liquid - blood. With a grateful nod, she spoke the words that echoed through Ramil's heart. “Thank you. Tell your brother Emathion, My husband Devereaux says hi.”

  Alura swiftly tucked the tube back into her belt. Time seemed to slow as Alura gracefully moved toward the window. With a flick of her wrist, the latch sprang open, and a cool breeze swept into the room. In one final act of awe-inspiring transformation, Alura's body shimmered, and she took on the form of a majestic bird. Her wings spread wide, vibrant feathers catching the moonlight, as she soared out into the night sky.

  Ramil mutters to himself, his voice tinged with uncertainty. “Perhaps...perhaps my father is right. It may be time for me to seek a wife.”

  As the morning sun rays filtered through the tall stained-glass windows of the Earth Kingdom Castle, Moriko found herself sitting alone in the grandeur of her larger dining room. The polished mahogany table stretched out before her, adorned with an array of tantalizing breakfast delicacies. But her attention was fixated on the vacant seat to her right.

  In her mind's eye, she could see Emathion sitting there, engrossed in his favorite book. It was in these quiet moments that he would share his vast knowledge and spark lively conversations about the subject matter. Moriko's thoughts drifted back to those cherished memories, a bittersweet smile playing upon her lips.

  Startled out of her reverie, Moriko's gaze shifted as Sir Brucie approached her. His tall figure cast a shadow across the dining room floor, drawing her attention back to the present. His eyes glanced down at her half-empty plate, concern etched on his face.

  “You must eat, my Queen,” Sir Brucie urged gently, his voice laden with worry. “Today will be a demanding day of healing the ancient trees of the Green Forest.”

  Moriko nodded, feigning appreciation for his concern as she forced a smile upon her face. Taking a bite of her breakfast, she chewed mechanically, the taste of the food failing to register on her palate. Her mind wandered back to the days when Emathion's voice filled the room, filling her spirit with warmth and laughter. As the morning light danced across the table, casting playful shadows, Moriko retreated once again into the depths of her memory, leaving Sir Brucie standing by her side, a mere specter in her nostalgic musings.

  As Moriko finishes her breakfast, the tantalizing aroma of fresh pastries and steaming tea still lingers in the air. Outside the dining room, she finds herself standing in the labyrinth hallways of the Earth Kingdom Castle. A tinge of nostalgia washes over Moriko as she finds herself drawn to the open door of the castle library. Memories of a time long gone flood her mind, where Emathion, would sit in the cozy corner, engrossed in a book. She could almost feel the weight of his arm against her shoulder as she nestled close, sharing stolen moments of tranquility. Gently, she would brush away the errant strands of hair that would fall across his eyes, a gesture of unspoken tenderness.

  But reality pulls her back, reminding her of the present. With a light shake of her head, Moriko murmurs to herself, “Snap out of it, Moriko.” The echoes of her own voice in the grand hallway bounce off the ancient walls, as if urging her onward.

  Leaving the library behind, she proceeds to the front door, her steps echoing on the marble floor. Crossing the threshold into the outside world, she is met with the sight of the stony path that leading her onward. The Earth Kingdom Castle stands tall and regal behind her, its towering walls a testament to its history and strength.

  Walking past the empty Stone City, once teeming with life, Moriko. The remnants of what was once a bustling metropolis now lay abandoned, a mere ghost of its former glory. The path takes her through a tunnel, enveloping her in darkness for a brief moment before she emerges into the enchanting embrace of the Green Forest.

  The sunlight filters through the canopy of leaves above, casting ethereal beams of light on the moss-covered ground. Nature sings its symphony, the gentle rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds providing a soothing backdrop to Moriko's thoughts. With each step, she feels a renewed sense of purpose, embracing the unknown that lies ahead.

  As Moriko ventured deeper into the Green Forest, a hush fell over the surrounding canopy, casting dappled shadows across the forest floor. The air, thick with the scent of earth and dew, carried an air of anticipation, as if nature itself held its breath in anticipation of Moriko's arrival.

  Her steps were cautious, each footfall blending seamlessly with the whispering of leaves beneath her boots. The first tree, standing tall and majestic, beckoned her with its outstretched branches. As her hand gently grazed the rough bark, a shiver of ancient knowledge passed through her fingertips. She closed her eyes, allowing the connection to deepen. With a surge of energy, her Earth Kingdom powers awakened.

  The tree responded, its aura shifting from sickly gray to a vibrant emerald green. The rotting spot trembled beneath her touch, as if startled by the sudden influx of life. Slowly, the decay dissolved, replaced by a burst of fresh growth. Verdant green leaves unfurled, reaching towards the sunlight that filtered through the dense foliage above.

  A smile graced Moriko's lips as she spoke softly to the tree, her voice a gentle caress. “There you go, my dear friend. Restored to your former glory.” The tree seemed to nod, its newly healed branches swaying in gratitude.

  But as Moriko turned her gaze to the rows of trees stretching into the distance, her smile waned. A sense of urgency pressed upon her shoulders, a weight that could not be ignored. The forest held too many wounded souls, too many trees begging for her intervention. She mutters to herself, “It's going to be a challenging day.”

  Determined, she pressed onward. Each step brought her closer to the next tree in need, each touch a tender promise of renewal. The forest seemed to respond to her presence, the murmurs of life growing louder as she worked her magic. The chorus of rustling leaves and the sweet song of birds accompanied her, a symphony of hope and renewal.

  One by one, Moriko offered her gift, pouring her energy into each ailing tree. The rot relinquished its grip, retreating before her Earth Kingdom powers, replaced by strength and vibrancy. The forest around her stirred with newfound vigor, as if rejoicing at the rebirth taking place.

  Moriko's heart soared as she surveyed the once desolate Green Forest, now transformed into a lush oasis by the power of her Earth Kingdom abilities. The vibrant foliage glistened in the sunlight, radiating with life and vitality. Just as she was about to bask in her accomplishment, she heard Yeongi's melodic voice calling out from behind her.

  “Well done,” Yeongi praised, her voice tinged with admiration. “You deserve a lunch break.” Yeongi's usually vibrant complexion now appears ashen, like wisps of smoke floating in the air. Her lustrous gray mane.

  Turning around, Moriko's eyes fell upon Yeongi and her husband, Tyson, standing before her. A surge of emotion overwhelmed her, prompting her to immediately envelop them both in a tight embrace. “I missed you both so much,” Moriko whispered, her voice filled with genuine affection.

  ***

  Morning light softly filters through the opulent bedroom of Devereaux. Restless, he paces back and forth, his thoughts consumed by urgency. The tranquil sound of the lapping waves outside is interrupted by a gentle tapping on his bedroom window. Devereaux's eyes widen in recognition, his voice trembling with relief as he exclaims, “Thanks to the Gods.”

  Hastening to the window, Devereaux throws it open, allowing the bird to flutter inside. As it gracefully lands, the creature undergoes a wondrous metamorphosis, transforming into the ethereal figure of his beloved wife, Alura. Drawn closer to her, Devereaux anxiously inquires, “Did you get it?”

  Silently, Alura moves towards her vanity, her expression betraying an inner turmoil. Opening a delicately adorned box, she delicately places a vial of crimson liquid amongst its companions. Her voice barely above a whisper, she responds, “Yes, but it came at a cost.”

  Compelled by a mixture of concern and curiosity, Devereaux pulls Alura towards him, his voice thick with worry. “What happened, my love?”

  Alura, her eyes reflecting a solemn sadness, reveals her tale. “It happened all too quickly. I had assumed she was his ally, a friend close to his heart. But, as fate would have it, she turned out to be one of his many secret lovers.”

  A surge of anger courses through Devereaux, his voice rising in a torrent of emotion. “I vowed to never lay with another, to remain faithful even in the face of adversity. And yet, here I stand, hearing of your rendezvous with the enemy.”

  The door creaks open, and Evain makes her entrance, her regal presence commanding attention. The room is filled with tension as Devereaux and Alura engage in a heated exchange, their voices rising to a crescendo.

  Alura, her face flushed with emotion, cries out, “It was a mistake, I didn't mean to lay with Ramil!”

  Evain points an accusatory finger at her brother. A mischievous glint dances in her eyes as she remarks, “Ah, the rumors do say that Ramil truly excels on the battlefield and also in the bedroom. I suppose it's only fair, considering you laid with his brother, Devereaux. Now Ramil has had his turn with your wife, evening the score with the Dwellers.”

  Devereaux's eyes narrow, a cloak of anger settling upon him. Through gritted teeth, he snaps at Evain, “Enough! What business is it of yours to intrude upon us?”

  Evain, her royal duty etched upon her face, responds calmly, “The soldiers requested that I ensure you are not mistreating your wife. Your voices, dear brother, were echoing through the hallway, causing quite the spectacle.”

  Devereaux abruptly moves away from Alura, his frustration evident as he strides past Evain. He abruptly states, “I must attend to Father's invitation for breakfast. Alura, cleanse yourself and join me when you are presentable.” And with those words, he leaves the room, with Evain trailing quietly in his wake.

  As they walk, a shadow of suspicion crosses Evain's face. She cannot help but inquire, “Does Father know that your wife possesses the ability to venture into the Dweller's lands undetected?”

  Devereaux's pace quickens, a sense of urgency replacing his previous anger as he turns down another dimly lit corridor, his gaze fixed straight ahead, determined to keep his secrets hidden from the prying eyes of his sister.

  Outside the Water Kingdom palace, in the bustling village below, the market square came alive with vibrant colors and enchanting aromas. Amongst the vibrant sea of townsfolk, Marius, concealed in his dark blue hooded cloak, lingered in the shadows of an alleyway. His sharp eyes were fixed on Gabriella and her father, Wade, as they cheerfully enticed customers with their farm's bountiful produce.

  Marius couldn't help but smile as he watched Gabriella's radiant energy shine through her actions. Her animated gestures and warm demeanor captivated those who approached their booth, instantly drawing them in like a web of magic. The rich hues of ripe fruits and vegetables seemed to glow under her attentive care, their lusciousness enhanced by her ever-present grace.

  Momentarily distracted by the rumble of armored Soldiers marching past, Marius averted his gaze from the booth. But when he looked back, his heart skipped a beat. Gabriella was no longer there. Panic tinged his next breath as his eyes darted across the bustling marketplace, his mind racing to find her presence.

  And then, like a harmonious symphony rising above the cacophony of the market, Gabriella's voice reached Marius's ears from behind him. Startled, he spun around to face her, his cloak billowing behind him as if moved by an ethereal wind. With wide eyes and a sheepish smile, she asked, “Did anyone tell you it's creepy to watch others?”

  Marius was caught off guard, his own thoughts now exposed. He quickly composed himself, trying to find the right words. “Apologies,” he stammered, his voice a mixture of remorse and apology. “It's just...”

  Gabriella stood with her cloak concealing a secret. With a swift movement, she unveiled her magnificent gold wings, a breathtaking sight that stirred a sense of awe in those around her. Moments later, she gracefully concealed them once more, as if keeping her true nature hidden from prying eyes. “The wings are real, but I have no connection with the Archangels. Wade, is my father, and we are simple farmers.”

  Intrigued by Gabriella's extraordinary features, Marius ventured closer. Observing her closely, he couldn't help but remark, “You are part Keener, as well. Yet, your father bears no resemblance to you.”

  Gabriella walked slowly alongside Marius, her voice filled with a mixture of melancholy and determination. “My mother, blessed with the blood of the Keeners, was abducted by Enoch,” she disclosed. “But with the aid of the Saints and other valiant Angels, she managed to escape him and the treacherous realm of Loftyworld. Fate brought her to the embrace of Wade, a kindred soul within the Water Kingdom. Together, they defied the odds, fell in love, and shared a bond that transcended any ancestry. However, a year ago, my mother succumbed to illness and departed this realm.”

  A deep sense of sympathy welled up within Marius, as he listened to Gabriella's tale of love, loss, and resilience. Before he could share his own story, his attention was caught by the sight of his father's personal soldiers combing through the bustling marketplace, their eyes scanning the crowd intently.

  Realizing the urgency of the situation, Marius reluctantly announced, “I must take my leave, but rest assured, I shall greet you again soon.” With a swift disappearing act, he blended into the throng of the marketplace.
