Chapter 6: The Jewelry Store

The jewelry store was a simple store. Emi was surprised. He hadn’t expected to be taken to a jewelry store for mythical creatures.

“Well we can’t take a centaur to a human jewelry store,” Symphia stated matter-of-factly when Emi had asked.

Now they were looking at pieces of elaborate jewelry. Harris looked overwhelmed.

“Harris, what here do you think Ethel would like? Or look really pretty in?” Emi asked helpfully.

“Well, Ethel loves the yellow wild flowers.” Harris answered with a shrugged. “She looks lovely with in crowns made from them.” He smiled as he thought of her.

“Well maybe something to match those flowers then?” Emi suggested.

“That would be wise,” Symphia smiled. “You should pick something here that you think she’ll love. So don’t be shy Harris.”

Harris nodded as he carefully walked around. He was trying to be careful not to walk on any of the little creatures. The store was run by gnomes and dwarfs. Fairies were flying around here and there.

It was a beautiful sight to Emi, but it made walking difficult for Harris. He had to constantly check that a little creature wasn’t under his foot.

“This looks lovely.” Harris pointed to a simple necklace. It had dangling glass flowers hanging off of it. They were all different colors connected together by a brass chain. The flowers were a pale orange and yellow. In the center was a large yellow flower with an orange flower in the center.

Symphia smiled in approval. “That will be perfect.”

Emi nodded in agreement.

After buying the necklace, they walked with Harris to Ethel’s house. Symphia and Emi waited by the mail box outside a large stable like house. It was a nice deep red house. Harris walked up slowly to the front door and knocked on the door. He held the box in his hand carefully.

The door opened as a large female centaur. She had a plump face and brown curly hair that was loosely tied in a pony tail that rolled over her shoulder. She smiled brightly at Harris.

Harris held the box out to her.

She looked at the box curiously as she took it from him and opened it. A smile spread across her face. She wrapped her arms around Harris’s shoulders.

Symphia nodded as she turned to Emi. “Our work here is done. Now let’s go back home.”

Emi nodded. Then a thought occurred to him. “I have to rebuy my groceries,” he muttered.

Symphia chuckled.
