Fantasy Shopkeeper Novels & Stories

Alexander whispers near my ear. We stop in front of a magical antique shop. Without checking if it’s open, Caelum pushes through the door with urgency, and it slams against the wall. A youthful enchantress with milky white eyes and brown skin appears from the back of the shop, her hands raised, two orbs of energy crackling between them, ready to strike the intruders. When she recognizes that it’s King Caelum standing in her shop, her expression shifts to one of surprise, and her hands drop. I notice her heartbeat quicken, her breathing becoming shallow.

He knocked three times before turning the handle and walking in. Inside was even more beautiful then the bookstore downstairs. It had a glass domed ceiling so you could see the sky through it and and the room was fully lined with more floor to ceiling bookshelves, there were tables in the center with glass cases displaying all sorts of items for sale. It was like it was out of some fantasy novel, Merlins workshop or something from the Harry Potter books. “Hello!” A voice rang out from the back of the shop somewhere. “I’ll be right with you, take a look around but please, DON’T TOUCH!”

Towards the back, I found more crystals and among them was the high-rank mana accumulator I was looking for. On my way to buy it, I noticed they had a small section of different books for sale. As I looked at what was for sale, I saw they were all to do with magic. Apart from one of them, one was a book on parenting, 'Babies first fire, a new parents guide for newborns. Is this a magic shop or a baby store? I'm glad Larry can't see what book I'm looking at; I just know he would tease me again if he knew...'

“Yeah, it’s easier for me to afford the rent if it’s for my shop and my home. Not all of us are Guardians with lots of money or slated to become CEOs of what I’m assuming is a big conglomerate.” “It’s not that big, it’s family owned.” I snort. His idea of big and mine are very different. My little shop is 'family-owned' too. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and dials a number. While he’s busy, I go back into the spell room and look over what didn’t break. Thankfully, they were in a hurry, so they didn’t get everything. I have some of the things that I need for the Alpha’s spell. The important things I made and put into a safe when I created the original spell.

Rydar watched her as she ate, his eyes full of adoration. "You are beautiful," he said quietly. "Even with your hood up, even covered in dust. You glow." Seraphine blushed, looking away. "You are just saying that." "I say only what is true," he insisted. They wandered further, coming to a stall selling magical trinkets and crystals. An old woman, the shopkeeper, looked up from her work. Her eyes were cloudy, but they seemed to see straight through them. She looked at Rydar, then at Seraphine, and a slow smile spread across her wrinkled face.

Window shopping wasn’t exactly therapeutic, but it gave him something to look at besides the inside of his head. Unfortunately, in his rush to escape, he’d stupidly left his credit card with Tatsuya. Not that he’d admit it aloud. Pride was a persistent thing, and Taiga was far too proud to go back. The polished floors gleamed as he stepped into the luxury wing, a section clearly meant for people who had either old money, new money, or dangerous money. The kind he now apparently belonged to. Still, the jewelry displays called to him like a siren’s song. Something in the glass case caught his eye. A sapphire pendant wrapped in a cruel silver claw. It reminded him of someone. He found himself d

“I won’t charge you for it.” He withdrew through a door behind the counter and Leo patiently waited. He walked around the small shop as he waited. It was an odd shop filled with an eclectic selection of jewelry. The contents of the displays felt more like a fantasy market stall in a video game than a fancy jewelry store. No other customers walked in whilst he was waiting. He couldn’t even see anyone looking in the windows. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t remember noticing the shop before. Leo shrugged to himself as he peered at a display of necklaces. He wasn’t normally interested in jewelry so he had no reason to notice the shop.

“No, not entirely. You’ll find a lot of good finds inside. And if you’re wondering about the store’s name, Neith is a wood nymph. Let’s get inside, Your Highness. See if you’ll find something to your liking.” Holly pushed open the window door and it didn’t even make a creaking sound. The bell chimed, signaling their arrival at the store. Inside, every square inch of the shop was packed with clothes, knick-knacks, and all manner of glowing, spinning and rattling mystical objects. “How are we even supposed to find anything in here?” Clara’s eyes raked everything with amazement. “Well, honey, you’ll need a whole day to dive in the whole shop. But that’s where I come in! Oh, um, just a second, p

The old man who owned the shop was flustered, 'This is the first time someone actually wanted to read a book about mana other than that handsome kid. The smile on his face brightened, "If it's about mana, please follow me upstairs, but your servants cannot come with you." Chiara flinched, 'Why can't Fey and Shiela come with me upstairs?' She glanced at the two as they shook their heads to tell her not to go with the owner alone, but she already got word that it is the only book shop in the capital, the others are far from the palace. "I'll be back in a jiffy!" She exclaimed while running behind the old man to keep up with him.

OK time to meet Jenny. I walked out of the dinning room. PS: I don't need to tell you everything. I knocked on Jenny's door, if you are wondering how I reached there, well, that was when you were reading the PS stuff. I'm I funny or what?, I have a lot of humor.
