Chapter 8:

The sky was growing darker, the shadows casting threatening patterns across the floor. Luna was walking as briskly as she could manage, she looked up into the sky, the moon was almost completely covered by black cloud. 

'Hey girly, look.'

Looking into the far distance tiny specks of light were appearing along its horizon, glowing in the darkness of the night. Neither had welcomed such a sight as both were tired from such a long walk through the valley connecting the neighbouring towns. 

'Yay Spek i thought we'd never get here, do you think we'll be able to stay the night and get some food?' Luna looked at Spek hopefully, her eyes shining in the light of the moon. 'Well it seems i have enough macco's left to last us another night in an Inn, BUT unfortunately it looks like we'll both have to look for a job here in Auge, if you want to eat and sleep in a comfy bed that is' she said with a wicked grin. Luna sighed, unable to think of anything she was actually good at doing, she just couldnt remember. With a big smile she exclaimed 'Looks like i'll just have to do my best and see what i can find!'

*Rustle rustle*

A pair of grey mischievous eyes were staring at the travelling duo from behind a nearby tree, the figure slinked between the trees and bushes cautiously following them......

Finally reaching the large oak gates of the town of Auge, Luna and Spek passed greatfully through them. 

(The city looked welcoming and warm, it large wooden buildings towering over its neatly cobbled streets each wearing a burning lamp at its entrance. Lining the streets were small carts which were obviously used for selling & buying, each displaying a brightly coloured cloth lining its top. A short way in there was a large stone fountain, it looked out of place as it seemed much much older then the city itself, the stone was crumbling away at the sides where the water had started eroding it, in the middle placed upon a large pillar was the figure of a woman clad head to toe in battle gear, holding a large spear in her hand.)

After wondering down the streets of Auge for a few minutes they finally found the large sign displaying the words 'Travelers INN' . Hopping up the steps, Luna pushed hard against the heavy door, it slowly creaked open. Poking her head around the door she took in its surroundings. The room was dimly lit by a dying fire encased in a large grand stone fireplace situated in the middle of the room. At the end of the room on her right was a large oaken counter, a sleeping INN keeper upon it. 'Heloooooooooooooo, hey, sir, are you awake??' Luna squealed, happy to finally be inside a warm building. 

The man, COMPLETELY startled jumped up behind his desk, muttering and gasping for his breath. 'What in tarnation. You girl! Keep it down over there, we have paying customers here. What do you want at this ridiculous time in the night?' Luna stared blankly at the man, she was unsure she had heard anyone raise their voice so loudly and gruffly before. Her face reddened 'Uhm, we were wondering if we could have a room please?'. The man relaxed his angered expression now realising he was dealing with a paying customer. 'No problem Miss, i have a single room spare, will that be ok. I'm afraid it doesn't have much of a view but its the only one we have left.' Luna turned to Spek for an answer, Spek sighed and shook her head, 'Yes that should be fine, thank you sir.'
