Alex was intrigued. "I've never seen a sword quite like this before," he said, pointing to one with an unusual hilt.
"That is a Kriegsmesser, a sword designed for heavy chopping," the vendor explained. "It's one of our best sellers."
Alex considered purchasing the sword, but ultimately decided against it. "I'll keep it in mind," he said with a nod.
"Of course! Feel free to come back if you change your mind, and you can check out if you want," the vendor said, smiling as they continued on their way.
While Alex was examining the swords at the previous stall, Aureal went to check out a firearms stand that also sold other types of weapons.
The stand featured displays that showcased its most prized and valuable products, including some firearms that caught Aureal's eye.
"Wow, these guns look incredibly powerful. I've never seen anything like this before," she exclaimed, picking up one of the firearms to inspect it more closely.
The shop also had a variety of bladed weapons on display, ranging from axes and swords to maces and war hammers. Aureal was particularly intrigued by the naginata, a long polearm with a curved blade, and the hooked blade, which had a uniquely shaped edge.
"I've never used a gun before, but these seem like they could be useful in certain situations," she said to Alex, who had come over to join her at the stand.
Alex nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's always good to have a variety of options when it comes to weapons. You never know what kind of situation you might find yourself in."
After spending some time browsing the various weapons on offer, the two decided to move on to the next stall.
Amidst the bustling marketplace, Alex's attention was caught by a booth that seemed to be emanating a soft, green glow. As he approached, he saw that it was filled with an array of lush, verdant plants that he had never seen before.
The vendor behind the booth was a middle-aged demon with a friendly smile on her face. "Welcome, young demon," she greeted Alex. "Are you interested in purchasing some of my plants? They are all cultivated with the utmost care and imbued with magical properties."
Alex was intrigued. He had heard about the various uses of plants and herbs in the demon world, and the idea of having his own magical garden was enticing. "What kind of plants do you have?" he asked the vendor.
The demon woman proceeded to give him a tour of her booth, pointing out the different plants and their uses. There were vines that could be used to create powerful binding spells, flowers that could be brewed into potent potions, and trees that could enhance one's magical abilities.
Alex was fascinated by it all and ended up purchasing a small sapling that the vendor assured him would grow into a powerful magic amplifier. As he left the booth, he couldn't wait to start tending to his new plant and experimenting with its properties.
Meanwhile, Aureal had moved on to another booth that sold intricate, handcrafted jewelry. As she admired a necklace made of sparkling crystals, the vendor approached her with a smile. "Would you like to try it on?" she offered.
Aureal hesitated for a moment before nodding. As she fastened the necklace around her neck, she felt a sudden surge of energy coursing through her body. The crystals glowed brightly, and Aureal could sense that they were infused with powerful magic.
"This is incredible," she breathed, feeling a newfound strength coursing through her veins. "How is it made?"
The vendor explained that the jewelry was crafted using rare minerals and imbued with magic by skilled enchanters. "Each piece is unique and tailored to the individual who wears it," she said.
Aureal was impressed and ended up purchasing the necklace, feeling a newfound sense of confidence and power as she wore it.
As Alex and Aureal continued their exploration of the marketplace, they came upon a crowded stall. Demons of all shapes and sizes were gathered around the display, inspecting the various items for sale. Initially, Alex didn't take much notice of the stall's wares.
However, a display of jars caught his attention. Inside each jar was a floating, glowing orb of a different color. Alex was intrigued by the enchanting display and turned to Aureal to ask if she knew what they were.
"Aureal, have you seen anything like this before? These orbs are quite charming, and I can feel some kind of energy coming from them." Alex gazed intently at the jars, fascinated by the pulsing light that emanated from within.
Aureal examined the jars closely and replied, "Yes, you can call those souls."
Alex was taken aback. "Souls? As in, human souls?" he asked incredulously.
Aureal nodded solemnly. "Yes. You should be aware that demons desire the souls of humans for a variety of reasons. Acquiring valuable commodities is not the only motivation for demons to venture into the human realm. Souls are undoubtedly the most valuable items that a demon can obtain."
Alex's brow furrowed. "But why would a demon want a human soul? What's the point?"
Aureal explained, "For one, possessing a soul grants a demon great power. But it's more than that. Souls are said to be the essence of a human's being, the very core of their identity. For demons, possessing a soul is akin to having control over a human's life, and in turn, their afterlife. Some demons seek to collect as many souls as possible as a show of strength, while others use them as bargaining chips in dealings with other demons."
Alex shuddered at the thought of his own soul being held captive by a demon. "That's...disturbing," he muttered.
"Most specifically the more uncommon ones, they are wellsprings of tremendous power," explained Aureal. Alex was still a little confused, so Aureal continued. "Do you recall what I told you earlier, Master, about the demons in Seattle?"
"Oh, yea... Were they attempting to steal the souls of humans?" asked Alex, trying to recall their previous conversation.
