A new beginning | My new life

A new beginning
Looking around the room, many familiar faces are smiling back at me. I walked towards Shlikre, my best friend, and gave him a hug. I wouldn't be where I am if not for him. He had introduced his teacher, Czrel, to me. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to get into Merchants .
It was five years ago. I was walking aimlessly around Muros looking for a job. That's when I bumped into Shlikre. We hit it off well and became good friends instantly. He taught me many new things over time and got me interested to the world of trading. On many occasions, he has talked about his teacher, Czrel. Finally I was introduced to him finally and he talked about traveling to Boktor with his friend.
I pleaded with Shlikre on many occasions to bring me to join Merchants, but to no avail. Shlikre finally gave in to my pleading and off we went in search of Czrel.
When we found Czrel with his groups of friends in River's Bend Tavern, we told them of our wishes. After some discussions among themselves, we were finally told of our acceptance into join Merchants.
It’s time to settle down and bring glory to join Merchants.
It’s time for a new beginning.

My new life
It has been 3 months since my acceptance into Merchants, and I have learnt a lot about trading from them. It’s time I put what I have learnt to practice. I bid goodbye to
Czrel and walked over to shake the hand of Shlikre. I have to do this on my own and I can’t depend on Shlikre anymore.
Leaving Sendar, I vowed never to return unless I earned my first pot of gold. I walked towards Muros, the place where I first met Shlikre. That place will be where I will begin my career as a merchant. Without looking back, I hasten my pace.
Arriving at Muros, I immediately survey the place and located a prime spot with heavy traffic flow. I set up a tent at the spot and began to lay out the wares I had obtained from Ulgo Cavern.
The gems from Ulgo Cavern proved to be an instant hit. Housewives and jewelry dealers all showed immerse interest in the gems. Sensing an increase in demand and supplies getting lower, my trading instincts kicked in and I began to raise the prices of the gems. I immediately sent an urgent letter to Shlikre, seeking help in replenishing my stock as I was too busy to leave.
Business was getting too good and I knew that I do not have enough supply to last for another hour. As I looked around frantically, I saw a familiar face. Shlikre had not failed me. He has arrived. I ran up to him and embraced him.
Finally I have earned my first pot of gold; I left my employee in charge of the store and set off for Sendar. It’s time for me to return and share my experiences with the Merchants.
