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.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa7TVULoLG

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.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIodNugg4Jp

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.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFTciAGlgx

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.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bgCXd28Xc

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1uNN0ew5w
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtD638n5aD
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuP5Mc10JO
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUEueeVBF1
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…”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpBvjHbFQz
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFo0UMHsbb
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.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIxmbRPsRc
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaKEcJ9Dnz
“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?”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFsg2ctOJX
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfTxEDqiz8
“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.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcw9ggY2LM
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFFjGeztIy
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBIuQXUCA6
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QXaObaEAf
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi6HwKhr6y
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx2b2rM4jw
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o6oBZToHo
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyT4gLEgGn
“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.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNTS8TrFGQ
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHIWep7Aif
“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.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU69WmSmDS
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtreiwQeVG
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Itijqxt2i
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cJQyk6D8v
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5NdUWu78Q
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XgyPsjTMS
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg1Qf18DYC
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRZ1rovobm
“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.”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChRD6ZbkSu
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoxSqRCiZt
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. 754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y65oG2Iwc
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiKwpkKOoy
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGspRgVGdOl
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6IEtMlpYm
“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!”754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjiR3J0ZLp
754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIXaVkS2bu
“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.754Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpEVJHRe0q
