Star Market: Day 5

[wrfm-mods.livejournal.com]

Who: Everyone ever
What: Star Market, Day 5
When: Thursday, August 20th
Where: Ingary

The Market's on a downhill slope in activity, but many merchants have stayed on for those last minute purchases. Those can make a bundle if you strike the right deal, after all! As for those less-than-optimistic rumors, there's been a development - people are now talking about something attacking the Market, but being unable to get in because of the security. Be on the lookout for any trouble; security's only risen as time's passed!

She recognized Will's voice and smiled widely. "Yeah, apparently they can protect against magical enchantments. I'm thinking of getting one, but they're kind of expensive, so..."

She glanced at him briefly, but not long enough to notice a change. "Have you got anything interesting so far? I really want to show you all the stuff I got. You'll be amazed."

"I'm sure I will." He sighed. Apparently she hadn't noticed. "I...got some incredible stuff. Like this eye that can see things other people can't."

He said the last sentence in a matter-of-fact tone, as if it was nothing more than a thing he bought.

"An eye that sees things that other people can't? You'll have to show me that one," She said, slightly smirking. "What else did you--"

She fell silent and her eyes widened as she turned around. His right eye was no longer normal...a strange wave of fear washed over her and she practically leaped upon him in distress.

"Oh my God. Who did this to you?! Did someone attack you? Did someone put a curse on the eye?! Tell me, Will! Who would have done this to you?!"

"Calm down, Crystal, calm down." He grabbed her hands and held them tight, looking rather ashamed.

"I did this to myself. Didn't you hear me? I bought this with my right eye and there's no way to get it back." He lowered his head. "I'm sorry, okay? But it was my choice."

"Did this? To yourself?" But..." She broke off, obviously in disbelief. "Why? Why do this? Why use your...your right eye as payment?"

A few tears started coming down her cheek. This was too much to take all at once.

"It's a Third Eye. It can see things other people can't. The payment for it was my own eye." He paused for a moment. "The Third Eye chose me, okay? Aparrently I'm the reincarnation of its owner or something like that. A bond between a Third Eye and the one it chooses is unbreakable."

He frowned a bit as he saw her cry. "It's not like I went to the evil side, okay? I'm still me. I'm still Will. Just with a magical eye."

"Well, why didn't you tell me about it? I warned you not to touch anything! I warned you not to meddle in things you didn't know about! And now you're with this...this thing!"

She wrenched her hands out of his, feeling rather irritated. "Why wasn't it so hard to ask?! That's what I don't get. You could have broken the news more easily if you had told me at the time!"

"Because I had to, okay?!" He rubbed his head and sighed. "I knew you would have said no. But the whole point is you can't say no to a Third Eye! It's impossible!"

"Look, Crystal. It's already been said and done, okay? It's already happened, and we can't do a thing. let's just move one from that, okay?"

A wave of feelings rose up within her. Denial, anger, worry, regret... Gritting her teeth, she turned away and started walking away from him.

"Just leave me alone for a minute, okay? I don't need this right now." She couldn't believe that she was actually feeling hurt by what he did, as if he committed a crime of some sort. But it wasn't like that at all. Why did she feel this way?

[treeofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Crystal!" But calling her name would be no use. She obviously didn't want to talk.

Why was she acting this way. It's not like he did anything wrong. Maybe it was too drastic a change for her to comprehend.

He sighed and turned around, looking at the trinkets she had been observing before. He hoped she would forgive him...sooner or later.
