As you turn to look towards where it was previously staring, it darts quickly through the air and over your head with a single quiet squeak of excitement. It stops and rears backwards before two tiny girls barrel through the trees right towards it both squealing in excitement.
You push the door open quickly and step inside. The walls are covered with various pieces of apparel and what look to be small bags of food or treats of different kinds. You look over towards the counter, but don't find anyone behind it or anywhere in the store for that matter.
You hear the faint patter of feet before the door is swung open almost smacking you square in the face. In the door stood an elegant looking woman with large yellow and cyan wings folded carefully behind her back. You notice that the person that you'd seen before is carefully perched up high in the rafters.
The woman blinks at you rather confused for several seconds before Amie launches herself at the woman wrapping her arms tightly around her waist.
"Mama!"
The woman seems to take a few seconds to register the situation. As her mind finally catches up to her eyes she glances up towards you and Bella before wrapping both of her arms around her daughter.
"Amie? Sweetie? How did you get here?"
She turns slowly and glares at a man standing at the back of the room just behind a desk. When she speaks again her previously soft voice seems to have taken a much more hostile tone.
"Beck dear, how has my daughter ended up in Carran?"
Jaylyn smiles and finally places both of her feet firmly on the ground. She flicks both of her wings out to surround you like an odd almost cocoon. She looks you directly in the eyes and speaks slowly almost like she was trying to communicate with someone who didn't speak her language
"Hello little one! Hello! Hello! Hello! You wouldn't mind doing me a little favour, would you? I completed my task and I'm having a terribly hard time getting in contact wi..."
Colin pokes her face roughly and frowns.
"Lynnnn, they aren't interessstted in participating in yourrr shenanigansssss..."
You wander straight into the forest, winding your way quickly between the trees and under low hanging branches. You eventually come across a small white wooden building hidden amongst large coiled bushes of blackberries. A thin path leads straight towards the door.
"I don't sell them very often, but I believe that they're made of steel of some kind."
The black one seems to be decorated with gold and silver flowers and plants that flow down and around the sheath. A small pale blue stone that glows a faint yellow shade sits embedded in the hilt.
The white and gold one looks more basic upon closer inspection. Gold trimming frames the sheath and hilt of the bladed weapon.
He points to the small stone embedded in the black sheath.
"That one there should shock anything it touches. I made it a few years back as a gift for my brother in law, but I never had the time to give it to him..."
What should you do?

It really isn't a problem at all, I'm hoping that I found the correct last post... I went all the way back so it should be correct!

You wander up close to the building and find that the sandstone walls are engraved with small art pieces that look like they were done by a young child. A large open doorway sits in the middle of the building framed with small flowers and houses that had been scrawled roughly into the soft stone. The inside of the building is darkened by shadows leaving you blind to its content.
You continue slowly west finding that there may be a faded path between the trees, you follow it not really finding much else to do. Eventually, the path comes to an end at the edge of a tall cliff.
