Their valiant victory had come at last as the sun continued to rise over the liberated town known as Hillside.
In truth none of the primes had truly known what they had gotten themselves into and many sacrifices had been made, the people here seemed to also be grieving for how many had been lost to Nebula’s sinister plans.
He had gotten to know Ash quite well on their adventures together and together with Celestia the pair had agreed to stay with Ash and rest in the newly reborn town. The people here forever grateful offered the three of them whatever they desired, of course Revan would never take advantage of such generosity but the chance to relax and heal was certainly too good to pass up.
All around them the people of the town were returning to their former lives, salvaging tools and supplies wherever they could they got to work rebuilding the burned and broken ruinous structures. After the mayor had left them with directions the team had travelled down the ash coated streets toward a more large structure.
Examining a small sign revealed it was a simple yet charming inn. The three walked along a stone path toward a large wooden door that looked strong and heavy yet had obvious signs of having been slightly burned most likely in the attack that had led to the capture of the townspeople.
The door swung open to a woman in a blue dress and brown hair, the woman put on her best smile as her brown eyes fell over them.
“Welcome to young ghost inn soon to be newly opened.” The woman stated proudly.
“We’re sorry if you’re not open yet but my friends and I desired a place to stay and the mayor said yours would be our best chance.” Revan knew the people out here were used to rebuilding from attacks yet was unsure how well they would do after the damage Nebula had caused.
“There’s still a fair amount of fire damage throughout but rooms are available, I’m afraid food is in short supply right now but our assortment of beverages in the cellar have survived.” The woman moved out of the way motioning them in with a hand gesture.
The inn was little more than a bar and a few tables and chairs and a half burned rug on the floor, few decorations had survived but some like a painting of the town before it’s destruction still remained for all to see.
“It will be some time before new supplies from other towns start travelling here again but we can hold out until then.” The woman said from behind them.
“My name is Mary and my husband and I used to own this place, he didn’t make it.” Mary glanced down at a black mark on the floor before looking up again with a feeble smile clearly doing her best to look grateful despite her inner suffering.
“We’re sorry for the losses your town has suffered.” Revan was no stranger to tales of villages that had been the target of marauding bandits but to be under constant threat from savage inhuman beasts was a horrible burden.
“Many of our people evacuated the town when those nasty things arrived, I do wonder if any will return now that things have become peaceful again.” Revan knew the people here had been through quite a lot even for those that lived in the Pale Moors.
“The town will be in here later for their drinks but for now you can have the place to yourself, pick whatever rooms you want upstairs and they are yours.” Revan looked toward the stairs with the thought of rest very much on his mind.
