Kian stared as the very tall, near naked woman walked into his shop and put a bowl with enough gold coins to buy all of the brass in his shop on the counter.

She was very dirty and bleeding from her knuckles as well as scrapes on her body.

In silence she pointed to an old tarnished brass lamp on the top shelf.

He looked up to realize she had glowing golden eyes.

Kian backed up to the shelf and, reaching over his shoulder, took the lamp down and placed it on his record book.

She delicately lifted the lamp and then was suddenly gone.
