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.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJXZcR5WBB

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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSXm3c5yjG

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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKMSOrGyUA

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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpmckpG5pH

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahXAjwm4ay
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDLvfmNKq4
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1o5Rvba3
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwPpoC3N6p
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…”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqQnHgJedJ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu4kKPa9vx
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.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpbRa579yZ
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7mKu2p7h1
“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?”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NwyxM0z5k
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mAx9QwyNm
“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.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbcs8V7XRR
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EOSsTpgPz
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJdngyyNdC
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBqUkEL2FB
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbcQVFqavw
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi3WrBSjdd
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2nTjTPzQs
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZy6GKiKj7
“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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtMWpMjzJo
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyxR1Nc4PM
“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.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hPraPCqbp
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhLyCoYvx
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqa6x7fXRw
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt7ryWyJ0H
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwMYSZnP6t
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJpZrPqajm
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYnStD4uwk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvlpVyOG5c
“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.”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IvHjfDP30
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hr5jHlJQj
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. 679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUHczO0CPu
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiFMhP1MDt
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9G5rcKJi1
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu33S6afPc8
“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!”679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoX85bLPnk
679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5DOprb8iP
“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.679Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFY6hCdKGO
