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.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUUvIjFWtl

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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVdb90Q91U

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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOdwJkKK86

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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgQpE7vB8W

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo8mBgvE8I
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje8nbJzEGc
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SsEXapCpm
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa82ogsvzz8
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…”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9afEfDAPE4
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyKn6MCjWq
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.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEGkFZ7ewA
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOR81dOHCE
“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?”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIxx3hxjUU
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFpgVjpfzv
“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.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBs2YIHPz5
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlfpRgTC56
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPjadUuAls
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79yXy9xK5q
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBo4cvZ6nd
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaa7fS3unQ
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j8wzzaEwr
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu81aaUUUH0
“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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXAJqvfDoj
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc9Hah4MRf
“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.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpy6adbsRh
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKt2IvW7Ad
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAurxC8ZpLK
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpKLqLcWlo
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFnlUHEdMz
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABcQ578cX6
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELWiQUVR0k
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVYYMJBes
“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.”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUmxA1ghZU
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRsu9yJpg
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. 761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L6JbOjooB
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYYU0mdtfu
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPfnrnoTdr
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPMCaPQ5jX
“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!”761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQBL5tih1q
761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLUh4rLCBK
“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.761Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENi10qUodI
