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.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXJ7ZGP5Ml

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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3764qK62Pw

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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWFAVuQvVA

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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClbqeJBKN6

“I’d like a room for two and no scamming me by saying something’s good and it really be crap that’s overpriced.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt65SaO5Hd
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ08atCLsWC
“Why do you think I’d ever overprice a room that isn’t worth it!?” he questioned with an offended sounding tone.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIM3t8AfOo
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInpVzlce0l
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…”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jhc3j0nXs
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOKuss8pIX
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.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhPO39r2pf
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQJpeHZA5N
“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?”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUOXzcoK79
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFvu4FuUl
“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.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxeUEr9dBQ
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE82CwH43b
Marenzo smiled, “thank you that sounds good to me.” He turned and looked over to Alura. “Ready? I got us a room for free.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIPKl20Zp6
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1VnoVCBrn
“Really?” she looked then walked over as he nodded.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73wSaVoHo5
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTlxLCarJ3
“It’s a special deal open to anyone during the festival.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEFxnyagaQ
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVghbioISMa
“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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuhGj3oTbf
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKucFMpRrkW
“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.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Fz0THUrB
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMv4YMk38Q
“Oh can you tell us more?” she didn’t see Marenzo slightly roll his eyes at the base of the stairs.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvRrzqUmcp
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK4OPfUljJ
“Well,” the feline began before the clearing of a throat broken in. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKO9fcbvOc
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu4gPGqafp
“We can get an explanation later. If you want to look around the city then we should drop our stuff off and get going.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxFLZDhxJg
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pYmyvjDak
“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.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2juNqKqkF
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YB5688lmZ
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. 662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc31YstYqBt
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc4KtRGENL
“Hmm?” she looked over from her bag she had moved up closer beside the pillow.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ32Y37cnb
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SNMcqQY2O
“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!”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSgtY3K6FM
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHxxzmXC5f
“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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReaKdTOkzN
