The Depleted Money

After the excitement of the Bandit Lord's vault, the weight of the gold in my pouch had felt promising. Now, standing in the heart of the Thieves' Den again, I was about to part with nearly every last coin I'd earned.

The Thieves' Den had its own black market of sorts, hidden within a maze of stalls and shady vendors. If you knew where to look, you could find almost anything—from enchanted weapons to forbidden relics. But what I was after was rarer and more valuable: potions. Not just any potions, but the ones that offered once-in-a-lifetime boosts, stamina enhancements, and more. The kind of potions that could give me, and Eldoria, an edge in the upcoming trials. They were expensive, but the investment was worth it.
