at cards, though don't play with him if you don't like to lose.

The places he has seen and the stories that he has to share. He is a demon
who has seen a lot and he understands the mysteries and hidden secrets of the
Solar Realms. He has traveled far and wide and as you walk up to his shop
you see he is unpacking...

He has some special items he wants to show you!

I walk with Vazra through the market place. the scents of it is rich, spicey, and savory with hints of exotic sweetness. I'm famished so we stop at a stall where they are slow cooking meat on skewers. Not kebabs but more like shewarma as it is just thick cuts of meat stacked on the skewer and cooked (just on a smaller scale). Vazra purchases a skewer and we eat from it, pulling off chunks of meat as we walk. Everywhere there are sights to be seen. Brightly feathered birds and some sort of creature that long vaguely like a monkey with batlike wings that clings its demon companion. There are sand colored solar hounds everywhere. They have thick scales covering their lean bodies and long legs with thin long tails. They nose around, sniffing as they weave among those in attendance. Floating orbs are in several of the shops, and spinning material weaving around, glittering as if powered by magic. I'm particularly interested in the shop with several tall colums issuing clouds of incense smoke but we continue to our destination: the shop of oddities.

I enter and I look at the things presented with interest. Several of them tempt but I've acquired these things before in past solar events. The lotus flower shaped perfume bottle, the golden box, the vague tower-like sculpture of bones, they attract my attention but when he brings at the crown, I turn away. When I leave the shop it is with a small statue that I carry easily with one hand. It's of a demonness who appears to be gathering powering between her hands stacked in a box formation in front of her. She is rather simple in design and yet radiates power. I do not know yet why I chose her but I did and I continue shopping with Vakra. He buys me a dark necklace, some rare gem enchanted with a glimmer of light that dances within its dark depths, and we visit the incense shop where I acquire bags of fragrances. The scent I picked is rich and floral like a heavily floral night blooming flower with a hint of musk and spice beneath it. I'm pleased with my purchases and as we walk out a reddish cat slips around our ankles and disappears.

Though are so many lovely things to look at and I spend some time admiring enchanted mirrors . At some point I acquire an brilliant orange scarf that is wrapped almost completely around my black attired. It is quite sheer and yet blocks a surprising amount of sun. Another gift from Vazra. I look at many things until at last it is time to leave and we go.

I walked through the marketplace solo. Still on my own. I look through all the selections, a interesting spiced chili treat was on a stick and it smelled and look good. I picked it up and looked at it as the merchant looked at me and said "You don't have money, you can't pay for that". I nodded and said "oh yeah my bad." i put it back and asked him what the best thing to eat around here was. He pointed out a few interesting food, though he said the best one was like this strange fetal bird creature that was jammed on a stick and smoked. it jiggled as i touched the stick. I raised my eyebrows with a smile as an answer and walked away.

As i went to the restaurant nearby. I looked to what everyone was eating, but i don't have money. so i just shrugged and walked away, going to Ogmal's merchant shop.

The perfume bottle was a interesting rose quartz like old victorian style bottle with no squeezer, it looked incomplete and missing a few things. Though the glass was very pretty. I really didn't think twice about moving on from it, it interested me the least.

Ogmal has a very interesting looking small rusty iron metal star that pulled me, but then he hid it quickly and moved on.

The box was just a regular golden trimmed plain looking box to me, with some sapphires on the side. I wasn't really interested in it.

The bones was a plain bleached white bird skull sitting on a dead bird of some blacked feather species. it was small, but kind of contorted with what looks like unknown bones making a box over the dessicated bird corpse. The bones pulled me immediately, and the energy just screamed pick me. It pulled me more then the rusty iron star i saw before.

The crown was some sort of silver and opal like tiara. It was the second most interesting thing here, but it just wasn't calling me like the bones.

I picked the bones, and i had already explored the market place prior, so i decided to go back home after it. But now i definitely want to check out the black scorched desert and blood sun and blood moon.

After a light meal of spiced and roasted meat and sweet fry bread, I headed over to Ogmal's tent.
Of the items he showed me, love has never failed to bring me far more misery than joy and I already have the Scirrocco talisman, so those two were out. The idea of limitless wealth was tempting, but when the crown reveled itself as the Horned Crown of the Din Gir, I knew it was for me.

I told Ogmal that I had a vision of a purple diamond that radiates the essence of the Black Flame and while he didn't actually say anything at first, I could just hear Robin Williams doing Shakespeare, "T'is a vi-i-ile thing I must interpose, anon."
Finally, he spoke, "Yes. I know what it is that you seek, but are you sure you are ready to handle its power? It can bring many great things into your life, but it can bring equally great destruction to those who aren't prepared to handle it properly."
"The Dark Sun was a concept that came up several times during my pathworking with the Anunnaki, but I wasn't ready to understand it at the time. But now, I see it as a part of my destiny."
He nodded and motioned for me to follow him past rows of magickal items and potions to the very center of the shop. There, the Amulet of the Dark Sun hung on a peg, waiting for the right person to walk up to it.
The gemstone flared with a deep purple brilliance as I felt its essence blending with my own and a surge of power ran through me.
Ogmal seemed quite impressed. "It knows you."
I offered to pay him, but he refused saying, "It has always belonged to you, I am simply the agent who brought you together again. Use it well, my friend."
The first step in working miracles is realizing that you can.

I like the busyness of the Marketplace. I walked around. I like vegetables, fruits salty and spicy. I found a cold soup similat to watermelom with a hint of salt, because of loosing electrolyts in the heat. Delicious then I saw Ogmal's Oddities
The flacon made strong energies in my Solar Plexus the golden box in my rootchakra. The bone skulpture caused pain and I knew before to choose the crown. I explained that I have regular contacts to my True Selves and I seek union
You will more and more have with confidant Ogmal smiled
