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.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7aDjWWqoL

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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDCEfwnLdq

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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxWLv5MRw2

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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFktZU5oHcV

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRgBHI1PTC
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiGEoqK3D2
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MOPx2bFUv
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWMxhKR1Cf
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…”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZzIM0m59x
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOZdbRMNBh
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.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ubLnqx8qh
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM7lnFGG5f
“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?”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOY7snA1hj
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtpFddfxBR
“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.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn01AX0d8d
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98tDEXTUA1
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4WxS8EMVq
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggHR2oflqs
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwEGDRUm9b
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gsrFNuMgn
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZESKHXMfOb
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs1jCr2mPw
“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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmPg82DLS
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqiBN5aHlt
“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.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliMHJWFjgN
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnr0uRwgdR
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI88ld5z0Km
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXuHn53kSQ
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8FcywgxYT
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8OKkabGP6
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM05pDwlN69
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBvHacjBI5
“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.”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK8RIWBCOk
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn4QOTgvp4
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. 755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8l9jBXhwx
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rWtGyWhXW
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fG9uGv7Yh
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXLn0XUe2W
“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!”755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt1QjnJnbl
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dqdWIu9cw
“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.755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnpujuA3CI
