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.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvo91KgXZJ

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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNNIZYwexE

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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9XEbs1bDc

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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIjEBPC9xR

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYFxb1fuAT
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjhWLJB2CU
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ2hoNzdGg
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZtSIf54dG
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…”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGVmgaGZNv
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67nFQ13TB
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.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtRFEEZgqT
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0mqS2CbZe
“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?”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIBxloIHsU
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd7i3c2Tzg
“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.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5YP1HfwTD
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj3CdDtLfp
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5UMRwNDUz
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeYA02Nm99
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zQd62AX21
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAPimvsGiF
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8LFHnn58c
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZaoXn7Mpn
“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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP9NTjBj3p
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcodJaZ4Quf
“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.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5S306LwO6
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIu9mBwub6
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fKH0F4TZw
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Hq7VXT8O
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ReZv52o7
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsyPSlxAox
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCI42brMj2
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LZ2Gbxbrw
“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.”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPkCIGl7rC
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yUPsMGWrK
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. 760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7AsyFw1WB
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrrc7hVKbu
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3oLsrdGAe
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnmB6iXk3z
“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!”760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3vX76Oga6
760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wrIub9wnX
“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.760Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDjDO1OQOW
