“He was the best of the best. An absolutely amazing trader. Most people would not walk past him, afraid they would buy something from his they wouldn’t need, or even want sometimes. But that wasn’t his game. He didn’t sell for money. He knew exactly what his customers needed, even before they knew. Besides, most of them just gave their money to him even without buying something.” “How come?” “Well, trading requires a lot of traveling. And, when you’re traveling, you see a lot of things, meet a lot of people. That means stories, and plenty of them. Legend says he would just be telling a story to one of his customers like one would tell an old friend, and by the end he a whole crowd would be there, trying to hear what he was saying. Plenty of people accused him of sorcery, trying to steal customers from other people. This was mainly the competition, pretty grumpy they were losing business to some strange man with a magic tongue.” “Did he really have a magic tongue?” “No, no. He was jus a glorious story teller was all. Some of his stories were written down, in fact. Mainly fiction since he spoke of dragons soaring across the sky, giants that fight along side humans, and palaces made of pure gold that glimmer like a second sun, even at night. Even the servants wore robes of gold.” “Did anyone believe him?” “Of course they did. During that time people would believe almost anything. Even the rumors that the house he always had with him was really his very own soul.” “His soul?” “Yeah. People said he would freak out as is he had lost his soul to the devil when his horse wandered off. Legend even says that he the exact same time as his horse. It was said that he was riding his horse across the Silk Road when they both just collapsed, lifeless. I think they just both died of dehydration for being in the desert too long. Houses are not optimal for desert travel.” “Why did he use a horse though?” “Who knows. He was always a man of mystery.” #picturestory #flashfiction #writersofinstagram #author #creativewriting #creativity #writing #trade #storyteller #trader #sorcery #soul #horse #palaceofgold #dragon #fiction #fantasy #silkroad
