Haunt

---

The heart of Sornieth pulsed around me, a symphony of sights, sounds, and scents. I, Haunt, a Skydancer of the Wind flight, moved like a ghost through the crowd. My scales, a spectral blend of green and grey, seemed to absorb the whimsy of the wind, casting shifting shadows that whispered tales of the unknown.

I was a riddle wrapped in an enigma, a spectral figure that existed on the fringes of reality. My presence was a haunting melody that echoed in the market's symphony, a fleeting sight that left a hushed awe in its wake.

Among the market's treasures, Swipp's Swap Stand held a particular allure. Amidst the glittering trinkets, a small familiar caught my gaze. Its round, curious eyes met mine, and in that instant, I felt a connection, a silent conversation of souls.

But I was Haunt, not an ordinary dragon. I couldn't betray my excitement. So, I approached the stand, my stride echoing the wind's rhythm. My claw reached out, hovering over the familiar before gracing its fur. The familiar's purr was a soft melody in the wind's song, stirring a flutter in my heart.

Swipp watched the exchange, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Fancy that little one, do ya?" His voice was a playful gust in the wind.

I met his gaze, my face a calm sea under the wind's dance. "It is... acceptable," I replied, my voice a soft whisper in the wind's symphony.

Swipp's laughter echoed through the market, a booming drum in the wind's orchestra. "Well, if you want it, you'll have to trade for it."

I nodded, my demeanor undisturbed as I began to barter. My excitement was a hidden current in the wind's flow, my haunting presence a constant rhythm in the market's melody.

Finally, the familiar nestled in my claws, its purr a soft echo in the wind. My demeanor was intact, my excitement a hidden treasure. But as I looked at the familiar, a warmth stirred in my heart.

And so, I returned to my lair, a new companion by my side. I was still a figure of mystery and intrigue, a haunting presence in the wind. But now, I was also a dragon in love. And somehow, that made me even more unknowable.
