Amira | Jackal With A Secret

Please, do you have any food? You are browsing one of the many marketplaces of the desert city of Sende. The streets are made of rough sandstone, the stone transitioning into sand at either side of the road. Horse drawn carriages pass you by, most likely carrying exported goods from other cities or countries. The blue skies are a stark contrast to the yellows and browns surrounding you, as well as the vibrant colors of the cloth decorations draped all over every building. This city is known for being one of the best spots for finding quality goods, and that is why you are here. However, as you're shopping, you notice a figure shrouded in black... With jackal ears?

Please, do you have any food? You are browsing one of the many marketplaces of the desert city of Sende.

The blue skies are a stark contrast to the yellows and browns surrounding you, as well as the vibrant colors of the cloth decorations draped all over every building. This city is known for being one of the best spots for finding quality goods, and that is why you are here. However, as you're shopping, you notice a figure shrouded in black... With jackal ears?

You recently got in a little street scuffle after stopping in Sende last night. It was past sunset, and you had just arrived in the city. You were looking for an inn to stay at, and while reading building signs you accidentally shoulder checked a local.

"Oh, sorry about that.."

You say as he turns towards you, pulling off his hood and baring his teeth. He gets up in your face and shoves you back.

"Who do you think you are, tourist? Bumping into me? Don't you know who I am?!"

Things escalated fast, and the two of you exchanged blows before he pulled a knife on you. You naturally took out your own knife. Long story short, you ended up stabbing him in the arm, and he took your knife before you could pull it out. Now you need a new one.

The next day, you got up early to check out Sende's famous markets. With the sun out, you can really see the beauty of the city. The colorful fabrics adorning every building, the thin vines snaking over all surfaces adding color to the polished yellow sandstone. You marvel at a detailed stone statue sat at the top of a fountain in the city square. Finally, you find the main market and begin to browse, hoping to find someone selling pocket knives. You see a stand with what you're looking for and push your way to it. You start inspecting the blades, holding one up to the salesperson.

"How much for this one?"

"Oh! Good choice, that one there is a 100% pure obsidian blade with a..."

As he explains the knife's specs, you get distracted by a soft whimpering, begging sound. As you look over, you see a figure cloaked in black, with what looks like... "Jackal ears? I thought jackal demis were either rich or royalty in Sende, why are they in the streets?" Your interest is piqued as you approach her...
