Two special pendants

We walked around the stalls and stopped at one in particular. I had noticed that Azzurra was staring at a necklace displayed in plain sight by the merchant. The pendant was blue with silver veins in the shape of a half-moon. Next to it was another half sun pendant in yellow with golden hues.

The merchant immediately noticed our interest in those two silver necklaces.

"Hello beautiful girls, these two charms are indeed very special. They are said to have great powers and never choose their wearers at random. Together these chosen ones will do great things. They were born from the tears of two very special and intertwined trees. Old as the world. Legend has it that they are in the land of the gods. The two bearers will be bound forever by fate. "The merchant told us, speaking in riddles.

"They are really beautiful" Azzurra commented.

I also really liked the necklace with the sun, I looked at my sister and she immediately realized that we could not afford it because the price was too high. His face turned sad with a very disappointed expression. We were about to leave when at one point Amdir pulled out a couple of elven coins from under his cloak and placed them on the counter.

"We buy them." He said leaving us speechless.

The merchant smiled.

"Okay. Here you go, make good use of it." The merchant gave Amdir two envelopes that contained the necklaces.

We walked away from the stall and continued our journey.

"Of course that merchant was really weird. Did you see how he was dressed? All hooded." Suddenly Azzurra broke the silence.

"Yeah, but you don't have to be afraid. My father's kingdom is well protected, you know by now that my father's guards are hidden around every corner." Amdir told us in a low voice calming us. "By the way, come this way, it's a more isolated and quiet place." He showed us a small space away from any distraction and above all away from the crowd.

We obeyed. He took out the two bags that contained the two necklaces from under his cloak and handed them to us.

"I forgot to give them to you." He apologized, scratching his chin.

We unwrapped the bags very happy, we thank him. I looked at my necklace between my fingers it was really beautiful, it shone with the sun's rays. Amdir helped me put it on, while my sister was waiting for her turn I contemplate hers. At one point a little boy collided with her and together they tumbled to the ground. The boy apologized and left in a hurry, but there was something that did not seem to me. I watched him go suspiciously.

"Oh no, I can't find my necklace anymore." Azzurra groaned.

Then I understood everything, that thief had stolen the necklace from my sister. He heard those words and started running. I sprinted too and started the wild race to catch the rascal.

"Aisaka" Amdir screamed, but by now it was too late he had already lost sight of me.

"What do we do now? We will never find her in all this confusion." Azzurra was desperate.

"Somehow we'll do it, just follow the disasters it will do. Let's just hope my father doesn't find out." He said desperately.

After ten minutes of braking running and various disasters between the stalls and shoving, shoulder to the crowd, the thief finally tripped. Seeing the scene, I grinned. In a flash I jumped on him landing on top of his body, he was crawling to escape, he turns him towards me with force.

"Where's the necklace? Give it to me !!" I yelled at him angrily.

He didn't want to answer me so I started hitting him.

"I'll tell you one more time give me the necklace." I was furious.

He looked up with his face full of blood, that was when I saw her. Surely in the fall, it had slipped from his hand, flying a few meters. I left him violently and got up, but in the meantime, another boy took the necklace and started running away.

I was starting to swear, but suddenly I saw his feet come off the ground, he was rising in the air. Next to him was a young man dressed in black who was uttering an incomprehensible litany. I looked at him open-mouthed. In time the boy I had beaten ran away.

"Aisaka !!" Azzurra screamed coming towards me, breathing heavily.

"We finally found you. But who is that?" Amdir said breathlessly.

The young boy dressed in black with raven hair took the necklace and let the boy fall to the ground. The second thief also ran away in fear. The young man came towards us.

"This must be yours, here." The raven said kindly as he handed the necklace to my sister.

"Thanks. What's your name?" Azzurra asked, blushing.

"Hi, Siner, Corvus, Rufus, Sefer, Azithil but you can call me shortly Sefirus, I am part of the people of the sorcerers. I come from Kuruvar, I am here to see the customs of the elves. I will stay in your city for a few more days." Sefirus answered him smiling, placing his blue eyes as I know it on her.

Amdir and I watched the scene in amazement in disbelief.

At one point there was a sound of hooves coming towards us. I examined what was around me, I had made a beautiful disaster. Some stalls were destroyed, various objects that were previously displayed were now on the ground. The beautiful grassy path was littered with vegetables, carrots, salad leaves scattered here and potatoes everywhere.

"Well, it's time to say goodbye we will meet again very soon." He hastened to say Sefirus greeting us, bowing and disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

The noise of the hooves was getting louder.

"I knew it !! The royal guards are looking for us. Aisaka as always, it's all your fault. Do we have to be recognized here too? You could have done less damage? No, right?" Amdir was furious, he pulled his hood down more and more.

"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to get the necklace back, but then it wasn't just my fault." I murmured in repentance.

So the three of us tried to escape, but they were faster than us, very soon we found ourselves surrounded by their shiny white horses.
