The green gem twinkles in the sun. You'd have to be stupid not to take such a rare gem. You take the jewel, the traider looking slightly disapointed.
"Good choice, don't blame you, kid." He smiles and walks away. You hold the gem up to the light and it casts a green, fragmented shadow down on you. You laugh, placing the sparkling gem in your pocket. Satified with your choice you go back to the road junction and turn down to the left.
