A tall, dangerously thin, and ghastly looking man stood front and center behind a meticulously clean counter as you enter the small shop. His eyes seem to glow an eerie red as they look you over. A sharp grin splits open his face, showing dangerously sharp teeth. You get a feeling that they are indeed used for what they look like they are for. His long silver hair is tied up neatly into a long ponytail with a velvety red string. He motions for you to come closer, and you feel your heart sink inside your chest.
"Come now, don't be shy. I won't bite, I promise."
Somehow, despite your every instinct telling you not to, you end up in front of the counter just a arm's reach away from him. He smells like ash and charred wood. You swallow nervously.
"I've got something interesting here for you. A special creature trapped inside this here bottle."
He holds up a small jar that he seemingly produced out of thin air. Inside is what looks like a swirling colorful mist. A distinct sense of primal fear fills you to just look at it.
"This here is a mistwalker, or as some call them a mistperson. Now I don't exactly see them as people per say, but they are certainly intelligent enough to be considered so. Go ahead and take one. See what comes out of it. I promise you it will be well worth your while."
He grins again, all sharp sparkling teeth, as he holds the bottle out to you. Dare you take one?
