“Ah Gen Chari.” The blue feather winged dragon looked around as he hovered in the sky above the Navus Trade Camp. It wasn’t exploration that brought him here, another of his race had mapped out this world several years ago. Still, things change and new magic and technology appears. He was sure he probably drew some looks but being a trade camp they have had a diverse range of species so odds are he was stared at then forgotten a little while later. He could sense…something powerful below. If he was more adept at discerning flavors of magic he could tell what it was but for now he new it was very powerful and very old. In the oldest of his race he could sense their power and this seemed older. An ancient perhaps? For now he pushed it aside and landed at the edge of the camp.

He had seen pictures and read the notes on the trading camp but it was quite different seeing it in person. So many scarab like giant insects walking around their camp. It was quite a sight. The source of the powerful aura was close. With someone of that much power, he decided to observe for the time being and of course see what’s up for trade.

It was a little while before he spotted something that caught his eye. A glowing silver ring inlaid with a green emerald. There was a tag below it calling it a Chameleon Ring and with a price of two Dead Patched gold coins. A price much higher than any ring would be worth in his eyes. 

“Two Dead Patched coins?” Ravyn asked and received a nod in return. He pulled out his currency pouch checked it’s contents. True he had the coins to pay for them but he wouldn’t let himself get ripped off. He pulled out a crystal clear diamond looking gem. “This. Is a Solarian Fire Diamond.” Ravyn held it in his hand and a fire like glow was at the center. It was crystalized magic shaped into a fist sized diamond. One that size held a large amount of magical essence.

The merchant looked over the gem and countered. “That gem and one Dead coin.”

“Still too high. That gem and five high quality gems.” The dragon pulled out five gems. Two diamonds, a sapphire, a ruby, and an emerald. All of which were very high quality.

The merchant checked each one. “Bah. Take it.” He handed him the ring and gathered the gems.

“Thank you.” Ravyn gave the merchant a bow and left the tent.

The moment he left he got a big wave of power that drew his attention to a male human and a female feline. He didn’t immediately attribute the power to the human, it could just as easily come from the feline. For now he decided to follow and observe the pair. He did get close enough to hear their conversation even if it was on the rude side. Hopefully they were friendly and would be so after they discovered him.
