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.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LF7xQdGdi

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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡienPgfnD9c

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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lY8Yuy5kB

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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIx4nUH1TY

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIQAe4kx5u
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsbqy9hDFZ
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZopffioHa
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0L0utDNUF
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…”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ey1yL1QjK
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DZtpxcXO2
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.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2QrQu1srJ
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunnf6l1mQO
“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?”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUd29Vj1GI
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGnjkJVGL8
“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.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94nxue6gWf
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVtDg7CMhl
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nux6sjlsj
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhMDYSO10l
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHUd1clQUl
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49K74rO6n
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2inGyyYnR
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FrW2wbjoz
“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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZxWEYpUSU
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFg2eAYx6r
“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.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k6z4UfuDh
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10O3R4hfHF
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh7Fu6LX2Z
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3bQ44WSmm
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM6NZuHaQC
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPrLUB7f5a
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHHRcaYDVp
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9OUleW7z
“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.”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlVXdJ0T0G
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb3DivTodW
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. 651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjozpXvldE
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqa4GWr1YE
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEkKRBZl2o
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpyugBKeUQ
“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!”651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjPpF6J8O3
651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnGlluFxFe
“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.651Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS9M2kf0TB
