The Market
There was once a thief at a market, who took as much as he could, from whoever he could. One day, the thief saw a beautiful charm. Thick bands of leather woven together holding 3 jewels, sparkling in the sun. One amber, one green, and one blue. It sat on an old stall made of splintered wood.

He briefly wondered how hands as stiff and disjointed as hers could possibly create such delicate and fetching items.
