The ride was short having silence the whole ride in the carriage.

They were in a medium sized carriage looking like it could hold six people and a driver up front. The roof around looked like it was easily flammable. It felt weird to him that that was his first thought.

While Etna was steering the horse Dominic had a lot on his mind but could not process any of what happened. He was just focusing on why he was still alive.

‘Oi lad, were here” Etna suddenly exploded

Well after getting out of the carriage he saw the landscape around. It seemed like they were in an open forest with a path leading down to who knows where. The sky was bright and colorful making him feel even worse somehow.

“So… what do ya think bout my inn?”

“Ohh its umm smaller than I was expecting,” Dominic said questioningly

“Well I never said I had a big inn, did I laddy?”

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

The Inn had only two floors and what looked like a lobby on the first floor and maybe some rooms on the other. The whole Inn looked like it was made out of a type of wood. Maybe?....Oak Dominic had thought. There seemed to be a reception type area with just some wooden chairs and tables around the floor it was quite bare.

“Service, has been a pain in the arse, hope ye have some money to stay”

It had just hit Dominic that he didn't have any money. He now was shaking and tried to speak but what came out was a nervous quiver.

He gave a blank stare then said, “Hah! Just kidding with ye lad, From what I see ye are more poor than the slums itself”

“What!? How does that make sense?”

“Just gi’t a move on. Your room is the second to the left upper floor”

“Okay… Thanks for bringing me here!”

Dominic now leaving the room went up to a single door that Etna led him to. Inside was a Staircase looking like it was made with some kind of stone. Only a small single window led light into the room.

Dominic went up the stairs and entered a hallway which had some windows and candles with two doors which seemed like they led to rooms. Dominic took the left one as Etna had told him.

Dominic opened the door carefully but even though he did that the door let out a loud squeak.

The first thing he noticed was a nasty foul smell which left him a shiver.

Ignoring it as best he could he went in the room seeing only one bed, a dresser, a rug, and some windows with nothing else at all.

“Well.. This may be why his business isn't doing well” Dominic said quietly

He set down what he had on the bed, which was actually just himself.

Dominic had no idea what would happen from now on but he was sure this could be better than what happened with….. that....

Instantly Dominic was knocked out with all the stress had been put through….

He had awoken when he heard a loud “bang!” from downstairs
