The Assassins Curse: CHAPTER TWO/PAGE 17 The woman from yesterday hadnt lied; the day market was the biggest I ever saw, merchant carts and permanent shops twisting together to create this labyrinth that jutted up against the desert wall. I wandered through the market with my dress tucked under my arm, the early morning light gray and pink. The food vendors were already out, thrusting bouquets if meat skewers at me as I walked by. My stomach growled, and at ten minutes of passing through the fragrant wood-smoke if the food carts, I sidled up to a particularly busy vendor and grabbed two of his goat-meat skewers, even though I do feel bad about thieving from the food vendors, who aint proper rich like the merchants we pirate from. I ate it as I walked down the garment division, licking the grease from my fingers. Tender and fatty and perfect. You get sick of fish and dried salt meats when youre out on the ocean. /// The garment division was an impressive one, with shop after shop selling bolts of fabric and ready-made gowns and scarves and sand masks. Tailors taking measurements out on the street. Carts piled high with tiny pots of makeup and bottles of perfume.
