████████████████████████████no matter where you go, you're likely to hear whispers about a mysterious aker who travels to every city, town
and village, sharing a vast amount of tales and selling various trinkets. no one knows where he originally comes
from and no one really knows who he is and what he's all about.
he carries many bags upon his back, full of many odd ornaments and books. potions and remedies that most
have never heard of. he has something for nearly any problem. no one asks how or where he acquires all his
belongings. perhaps too scared of the answer, should they even receive one.
everyone has their own theory regarding him. their own rumour to spread. but there's one surprisingly
popular belief that sounds almost like a folklore story. it's gawain's personal favourite as well, and he
likes to try his best to live up to the character he's been given.
they call him a wizard. an unusual but benevolent one. one that enchants all his goods with a spell of
joy. why else would anyone who purchases something from him walk away so much happier than before?
while not everything he sold was particularly practical, or beautiful, or even in perfect condition, everyone
loved them nonetheless. no one could put into words why though.
but perhaps it's that exact uncertainty that surrounds him which draws everyone to him. for no one can
turn their attention elsewhere when listening to one of his stories, regardless of if they believed it to be
true or not. he had a certain charm to him, one that you couldn't help but be fascinated by.
of course, there was still plenty who didn't trust him. mother akers would warn their kits to be wary of
this stranger no matter where he was, yet many of them still ran straight up to him with such intrigue.
their faces full of wonder as they asked him question after question. every time, he would smile and
show off his many wares. going into great detail about the history of any item they wanted to know
more about.
gawain made sure to never stay in one place for too long though, he'd lose his mystifying appeal after
a while, he was sure. so when he'd been somewhere for roughly a week, he would take his leave. go
quietly in the night and wave a silent farewell to the place he'd baffled this time. ready to move on
to the next, ready to do play his part once more.
