It wasn't long before we reach the main gate of the city. The horse
comes to a halt. As my capturer is identifying himself to the gatekeeper,
I get a good look at the city. It appears to have an Arabian feel to it.
The buildings are made out of granite stone and flat, smooth sand lays out
the roads. A long line of different shops sell their wares down past the gate.
The leader pays the gate keeper and we go along our way. "Now we just need to find out when the slave auctions are." My capturer says as he avoids the wave of crowds through the street. He turns his horse and rides into an ally set up next to a beautiful flower shop. As we travel farther down it down the ally, the noise of the bustling city slowly begins to deafen. It's then I suddenly spot a lone man in the distance, dressed in rags and a strange, straw hat, his back turned away from us. "Perfect" mutters my capturer. "The people back here are very reliable" He explains. "They know just about everything there is to know about the city."By the time the man in rags becomes aware of our presence, my capturer has his horse were parked right beside him, giving our stranger a shock. "What the hell do you want?!" spat the man in rags.My capturer continued to smile. "Excuse sir, we were just wondering if you knew the time for the slave auctions. You see, I have a fine wench here who's in need of an owner." As he says this, he flips a large, silver coin into the stranger's hands. The man in rag's expression changes to a friendly, more confident look.
