The Merchant's Gamble
Mara's bargaining skills are put to the ultimate test in a bazaar stall. The stakes? A map to the Dragon's Hoard.
The Bargain
A bustling bazaar, filled with colorful stalls and merchants hawking their goods. Focus on Mara, standing firm with a determined look, holding up a tarnished silver coin. Bead of sweat trickles down her temple, indicating tension and high stakes. The atmosphere is lively, with people milling about, adding to the sense of urgency.
Mara's determined gaze met the merchant's skeptical eyes.
Merchant's Laughter
Focus shift to the Merchant, standing behind his crowded stall. His laughter is hearty and fills the tiny space, characterizing him as skeptical and dismissive. His hand waves dismissively as he mocks Mara's offer. The background is filled with various trinkets and maps, hinting at his trade.
The merchant's laughter echoed through the bazaar.
The Conviction
Back to a close-up of Mara, leaning slightly closer to the Merchant. Her voice is a whisper but carries weight, showing her unwavering belief in the coin's power. The bazaar's background noise is slightly muted, emphasizing their intense exchange. Her eyes are fierce, and her jaw is set, indicating her refusal to back down.
Mara's voice held a whisper of untold legends.
The Deal
The Merchant's eyes narrow, scrutinizing Mara's face. His skepticism wanes, replaced by a calculating look. He snatches the coin from Mara's hand, signaling his acceptance. The background should still show the vibrant bazaar but with a focus on this crucial moment.
He weighed his options, the coin gleaming in his hand.
