Do you ever question? How does a merchant you buy from always appears somewhere near the area you're in? How we seemingly arrive at the final location before you, right before the final battle?
Truth be told, we are simply watching tales unfold. I mean, for us, the stories of the hereos, villains and etc. are just a play on a stage to let our eyes feast upon up close and personal.
Truth be told. A merchant doesn't really care of the outcome.
We do not care if you lose, we do not care if you win.
We do not even care, that the items and trinkets we sell you are of any help.
As a Wizard Merchant, I am never the hero nor the villain, neither do I even impact the story. I am simply unimportant.
I simply watch tales unfold.
