Rowen walked further down the street until a polished sign caught his eye. The name was familiar; he had seen it back in his own district, though that branch had been smaller and less impressive. This one was clearly the main shop, with wide glass windows displaying glowing scrolls inside protective cases.
He pushed the door open, and a soft chime rang out. The air inside was cool, scented faintly with parchment and mana. Rows of shelves stretched out before him, stacked neatly with scrolls of varying sizes. Some were sealed with plain wax, others bound with glittering runes that pulsed faintly with stored power.
Along the left wall, glass cabinets displayed not just scrolls but also rows of carefully labeled potion bottles. Some shimmered faintly with colored light bright red, soft blue, and deep green, each hue hinting at its effect. Small signs read: Mana Recovery (Beginner), Stamina Restoration, and Minor Healing Tonic.
