The Grels emporium

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Darien rushed into the emporium. several customers and store attendants stood around the large room. it was just as Darien remembered it. when he stepped on it the squeaky plank made the same noise as he remembered it. 

one of the attendants walked over to him, "welcome to the Grels Emporium! all items with the red tag are fifteen percent off!"

Darien ignored him and walked over to the back end of the store. such memories. it seemed his early life played out infront of him. Him and Elek had played in that corner, his parent's piano had been right there where one of their attendants had played it. 

Elek whispered, "whoa, this place is almost exactly the same."

Darien ignored him too. he was to busy looking around, he began to tear up. the room swam before him right before he collapsed...

The first thing Darien noticed was the gentle purr of voices talking swiftly. he groaned, his back ached, had he collapsed? evidently he had. Elek's voice was noticeably absent. huh.

Darien cracked open his eyes. two store attendants were talking hurriedly to eachother, one was saying, "what should we do?! he just outright collapsed in front of us!"

"I dunno," said the other, tall and weedy looking, "maybe we should take him to a hospital."

"don't" said Darien, standing up. the two jumped back, "I am fine. I will leave now."

Darien walked to the door, leaving the two bewildered attendants behind.
