Chapter 18: Lunar Capital
Later they would arrive passing through the busy gates of Viala, a city regarded as Lunar’s capital city. “Wow, this looks different.” She commented softly while taking in the scenery which seemed to be inspired by Egyptian Hindu style from the ancient Greek era. She even took in the fashion that varied depending it seemed if the people were from there or elsewhere. “Wonder what kind of festival it is.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8W7sggRcq

As they walked down the street she took notice of snake demons and cat demons putting up lanterns. Some had artwork of flowers, some had artwork of dragons, some had artwork depicting heavenly females, and some had a combination of them with other elements. A few kids ran around giggling behind their different animal masks and a couple even had sparkler sticks that changed color as the flame reached the next burn level.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOBAWvhBLT

Their first stop was finding an Inn and they found a two story building called Luna Lily Inn. They entered and Alura was captivated by a clear, multi-shelved stand with hand crafted items for sale inside behind the glass. “Hello there,” Marenzo greeted the orange tabby, only to be ignored so he shot a tiny fragment of ice at a hanging wind chime behind the desk.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY4mMmDXTL

The tabby jump with a fit of hissing with his fur spiked up around his black tipped ears and his silvery-yellow short hair standing up as well. Looking around, ready to attack with claws out, he calmed after some moments while smoothing down his hair as he cleared his throat. “Hello there. How can I help you sir?” he flashed a grin that showed off his sharp feline teeth.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxkD4iQO5p

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWWQomeMu9
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DQ5PT9gcE
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1axgUjqDsU
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8QralngTw
Marenzo leaned in on the counter, a small smug smirk on his face. “Because, Trim, I know how you operate. I know you got one of the best Inns in the capital city, but I also know you are a good switch man.” He moved his hand with the ring on it and softly rubbed the countertop, causing frost to form over its surface between them. “So, about that room for me and my companion…”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgl1ynxuK4
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMaSjZu5u3
Trim’s lime green eyes widened at this realization. “Oh why didn’t you say so Mr. Roslit.” He ducked under the counter briefly before popping up with a key in hand. “Here we are, room 20A.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC13bQ2Brku
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHRy9LSXVU
“Thank you,” he took the key and eyed it over before shifting his gaze back to the cat. “And this isn’t gonna be a shoty piece?”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlveNqnYN3M
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk9J7QUb9K
“No!” the feline exclaimed with a quick shaking of his head. “I told you I would give you my best and I have. To make it better, and to stifle the temper I remember your mother and brother having, for the duration of the festival I’ll give you the room free of charge.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLThEgUC2lL
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQHq6Uhszf
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc0V9kDXK0
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3RpgpIlHz
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelbiJzYSvZ
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmKoTwfvGj
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjNJmLrMvS
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85h5h334Ph
“Aw that’s so nice of you to do. How long does the festival last?” she asked as Marenzo was starting towards the curved staircase.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6rvpj3urN
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJafp9ShJHw
“It lasts for three days and as long as the weather is good then in a couple days or so we should have everything set up to start.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop0R5NV0Kr
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5osFOOXrL
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa7ELennTK
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJOQIRQir2
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOh6vs51Pj
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p4Cgq8Wcv
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmWM7KstTm
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLplVMtj1zM
“Oh, right,” she looked to Trim, “could you tell us more later?” he nodded and watched as the pair head up to their room. Once there, Alura was the first one inside and to the bed where she set her bag. “It looks nice.”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N9AC3CVqC
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEs7CLwwlV
Marenzo looked around the room a bit displeased. “I’m going to kill him.” He muttered when seeing there was only one bed as he stepped around the nicely sized room. 910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDtVM2jzYg
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4OVOxY0hT
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1MzTf6dsf
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiTiqcXsFX
“Um nothing, shall we head out to look around during the remainder of the daylight?” she nodded and they headed out with Marenzo following after locking the door. Once downstairs he moved towards the tabby. “Hey, we gotta talk. Why’d you-ack!”910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePdHXNV0vt
910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCE4e2UrOQ
“Oh come on, you wouldn’t let me talk about the festival so you can wait to do your guy talk!” she retorted quickly while dragging him out by his arm. They spent the rest of the day exploring the city before returning once dusk fell, got dinner and went to bed as storm clouds were moving in with the night.910Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3rKtMayWt
