Booted Bhoots

While continuing my walk through the bustling marketplace, I stumbled upon an intriguing stall named "Booted Bhoots."

Expecting to find some sturdy boots and gear for my journey, I decided to peruse the items available. However, it quickly became evident that this was no ordinary cobbler’s stand, but rather a treasure trove of curious oddities and mystical items.

"A Bhoot is a ghost or spirit, a general term in our culture," the seller explained, noticing my puzzled expression. "So, I thought 'Booted Bhoots' would be a clever play on words for my shop’s name."

Intrigued, I nodded and asked, "What exactly is this Bhoot Pret Nivaran Puja and Homa?"

The seller’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Bhoot Pret Nivaran Puja and Homa is a powerful ritual performed to seek protection and relief from black magic, ghosts, and evil spirits," he said, taking a deep breath before continuing. "It helps remove the negative impacts of these dark forces. It can provide protection and release from negative energies, shield against accidents and diseases, and alleviate physical and mental worries."

"Hmmm," I mused, finding myself drawn to the idea. "That sounds fascinating."

After a moment of contemplation, I said, "Alright, I’ll buy it, but only if you play a round of Gwent with me."

The seller’s face broke into a sly grin. "You think you can beat me in Gwent?" he challenged. "Let us begin then," he winked mischievously, "but let me finish my instructions first."

"Use this 2-3 times per session, or as needed," he concluded.

With that, we prepared for a thrilling game, the anticipation of the unknown and the promise of adventure
