Chapter 12

Lion’s Inn

Aaron had never seen a city in his life but he had heard about them a lot. Matt always told him how grand the city of Kantar was, how magnificent everything looked and how easy it was to get lost there. Aaron always wanted to visit a city to see what it actually looked like. He saw big buildings made of stones. They were painted in many colors. The bright red color of one of the buildings almost blinded him. The houses were nothing like the ones in the village. There were no thatched roofs or farms attached to them. The street was filled with many people. Some wore cloths he had never seen before. He found Flynn looking everywhere with amazement just like himself.

Everyone in the city was so busy that they hardly noticed the Defenders enter the market place. Aaron felt like he was living in a very small place all his life. The market place of the city was huge compared to the one in his village. There was nothing that you wouldn’t find there. From shops filled with fruits to shop selling clay pots were lined up in a row. As they passed the market, some vendors looked up and asked them if they would buy any of their wares.

Belster and Dan didn’t stop for a second. They kept a constant watch as if someone or something was following them. Aaron felt lost between many unfamiliar faces. He stayed near Flynn and Jane.

Finally, they came in front of a large Black Iron gate which was at the end of the street, secluded from the market. Behind the iron gate was a beautiful mansion with a big wooden door and white stone walls. Near the gate there was a big sign that read ‘Lions’. The houses around this big mansion looked like they were empty.

“What is this place?” Aaron asked in excitement stopping next to Dan.

“It is the safest place for us in the whole world, for resting and for fun” Belster winked at Dan. Dan remained expressionless.

A small man with long white beard came out of the door and greeted them.

“Good afternoon Sirs and Madams! Welcome to the Lions. I am Cody, at your service!”. He bowed so low that his beard almost touched the ground. With great effort, he opened the iron gates. All of them got down from their horses and handed them to Cody. They walked inside the big wooden door into a big hall. The hall was mostly empty, except for a small desk in the right corner. A large man was sitting behind the desk.

“Hello, to all of you!” The large man said. He tried to get up but it seemed like he was stuck to the chair he was sitting on. He shook hands with Dan, still sitting down.

“How many rooms would you need?” The large man asked politely.

Belster stepped forward and spoke to the man for a few minutes. Cody walked into the hall and picked up their bags.
