We stopped in front of a window of a building connected to the bank. I walked to the spot and flourished my wand in pattern shown on the ground.

    The air was filled with the regular chimes from the blacksmith’s shop. The commoners outside the manor were already about their daily chores, children even younger than Herivus were rushing to the farms and into the hills to herd their flock. Once in a while, a merchant passed by with a wagon full of supplies, then the children took them into the huge storage barns of the city. The soothsayer by the lane kept selling those amulets and charms, though she had been warned several times by the Council to stop the illicit trade. So they turned a blind eye to whatever she did.
