Chapter 3 - Entry town

"I guess I should head in" Shin states realizing he's been staring at the wall for too long. "This should be the city of Lamia."

As he approached the gate leading into the city he saw two guards standing at the gate. He greeted the guards with a nod as he walk past them. They nonchalantly dismissed him seeing as he didn't look like much of a threat.

He steadily walked through Lamia with a hidden objective while carelessly daydreaming about his previous experiences in the city.

'I don't remember it being this big but it doesn't matter right now I just need to find the tavern. It should be up ahead.' He thought while searching for the glistening white sign that almost flowed in the moonlight hung in front of the inn. "There it is the Stubborn Centaur." Finally finding the tavern, he was elated that he could get some rest.

"Welcome to the Stubborn Centaur Tavern" exclaimed a cheery young girl with a bright smile and long brown curly hair which continued to fall on her almost caramel skin. "Would you like a room or a drink?" she asked while pushing her hair away from her face, which now revealed an almost angelic beauty.

"With the way my days been going I think I need both." As he said this she started to smile harder, which exposed her dimples to Shin. "It will be 3 good per drink and 10 gold per night. You can pay for your room now and pay for drinks when your done drinking" said the cheery innkeeper.

"Ok here's the 10 for the room and what's your name miss."

"My name's Lily and I'm the daughter of the owner. You'll been in the third room on your left upstairs. Enjoy your stay." After stating this Lily skipped away and began to serve another customer leaving only the faint smell of fresh rain and spring flowers as well as lasting impression on Shin. He then shakes himself back to reality by telling himself that he could never be with a woman that flawless. Then he proceeds to the bar to get a drink.

As he arrived at the bar a Dwarven woman with similar hair and skin color as Lily approached him with a wooden mug in hand. "Welcome to the Stubborn Centaur. Name's Anita , I'm the owner the inn. What'll you be having sir."

"Your strongest ale will do quite nicely." Shin replied laying forth all the exhaustion from his day's work.

"Long day darling" asked Anita while pulling out a bottle Brundash Ale. "Yeah, incredibly long. Thankfully there's ale to lessen my pain, isn't that right Anita." He explained playfully.

She replied with a hearty laugh that sent a smile across everyone's face. After a fit of laughter across the room died down they room returned to its former ambience. As Shin drank his sorrows away from the day's events, he noticed Lily staring at him from across the room. He waved her over with a grin on his face.

"Hello my adorable little stalker" he said playfully causing her to giggle uncontrollably.

"Do you really think I'm adorable?"

"Yeah if your not adorable no one is."

She giggles again.

"Now I'd love to stay here and get to know you better but I need to get going to my room while I'm still physically able." He said as he walked off laughing.

As he walks up the stairs towards his room he takes one last look at Lily, feeling like a piece of his heart is still sitting there talking to her, and smiles as he continues on to his room.

When he finally makes it back to his room he collapses onto the bed finally releasing all of his exhaustion and drifting off to sleep.
