The Village
As we approached the village, I looked around. The road to the village was really quiet. There didn't seem like anyone was around but that was understandable since we haven't reached the village gates. When we did, we walked inside. It was completely different that outside the gate. There were many children running around, playing games. I kept walking and looking around. We ended up finding an inn and knocked on the door. A woman who looked around 30 opened the door and looked at us, "How may I help you?"
I looked her in the eye and asked politely, "We were wondering whether we can stay in your inn for a few nights. We don't have any money on us at the moment but we'll do anything you want just for us to stay a couple of nights."
The woman stared at me. She turned her head and called out inside the inn, "Honey! Come out here for a second!"
A small voice called out from inside, "Mama, who's outside? I wanna see."
The woman gasped as the child's head stuck out from behind the door. The little girl looked up from the door and exclaimed, "Mama! Papa! She looks like the Queen from the books!"
Celeste, Peter, and I exchanged a look. We didn't know what was going on so we didn't want to cause a commotion. A tall man pulled the door open wider and looked at us. He then looked at the woman beside him and said, "Let them in. We'll find something for them to do. This isn't the first time."
The woman nodded and stepped away from the door with room for us to go inside, "Welcome to the Falloway Inn."
