The next morning, Victoria woke up in the comfy bed of the hotel. She got up, took a shower, got dressed and went out. She began walking around the jewlery shops and discovered a pretty interesting thing: The gem shops were divided here. I mean, every gem has its own shop and none is mixed. It was really useful, yet tiredsome to walk through every and each one of the shops. In that day, she had entered in four different shops and consulted four different people: First, she entered an emerald shop in the eastern part of the centre. The emeralds were pretty, but not enough. Then she entered in a Sapphire shop and looked around. It was really breath taking, and she really enjoyed the colours, but she was determined of not buying anything so that if she finds anything better, she wouldn't make a mistake. She would first look through all of the different shops. However, in the Sapphire shop, she had a pretty interesting conversation with a man, middle age, with blond hair. He was the owner and she wanted to consult him about what she should buy.
''Good evening.'' She said, wearing her usual formal mask.
'' Good Evening, Miss. How can I help you?'' He asked, smiling and offering the young mage a seat.
'' I had a little doubt. A friend of mine is going to celebrate his and his wife's 25 years of being married, and he asked me about what gem he should buy her. I was wondering as well, so I decided to ask a professional.'' Victoria explained.
'' Hm, what crystals have you seen so far?'' He asked.
'' Siams, Black diamonds, Turmalines, Jets, Morions, Sapphires, Emeralds and that's all I think. '' She counted on her fingers.
'' Well. I will write down a few crystals you could check out. They are all incredibly beautiful, and, believe me, your instinct will help you chose the one that will bring you profit on your mission.''
''Tha- Wait, what? How did you know?'' The Ice Mage asked, stunned.
'' We, people in Era, have our ways to recognise mages. And the cold air around you... You are an ice mage.''
Victoria looked at the list. Amethyst, Viloet, Aquamarine, White Opal, Tanzanite, Montana, Fireopal and Hiyacinth. She smiled and thanked the mage, walking away to the next shop. Amethyst.
