the merchant city of Espalla

[Elf Princess Flannery]

the city is ruled by merchants business tycoons. AhlMaul is the mayor of Espalla and flaunts his wealth. he is a corrupt man who takes bribes and raises taxes. no one ever runs against him because all competitors are either bribed or killed. AhlMaul makes the laws and there if virtually no sign of the military or empire.


the perfect place for Lamar to lay low for a while, maybe even rent a room an the inn for a few nights. Lamar began to daydream about how nice it would feel to sleep on a cot rather than the hard earth for the first time in weeks.

-previously- Lamar had returned to his childhood home and was surprised to find his mother. he thought the military had killed his remaining family. he embraced his mother when he met her again after nearly a decade, the shared tears and Lamar informed her of the events that had taken place since their last reunion.
when he asked her what had happened to his younger sister she began to weep and confessed to having to sell her into slavery. Lamar slapped his mother and scolded her for doing such a terrible thing to her own blood. Lamar stayed with her only 3 nights and left her a sum of money and a note stating that he would continue to travel in hopes of finding his sister.

Lamar led his palomino Peach into the busy streets of Espalla, there were many other horses and animals in the streets as well. Peach's stress level was increasing with the constant fuss around her. Lamar decided it was best he rent a stable where she could rest. there was on just outside of town and their rates were reasonable.
Lamar then went to rent a room where he could clean himself up a bit, and maybe enjoy himself later in the night. it had been what seemed like centuries since he had last gotten laid and the women at the nearby saloon were all to tempting.
after entering the saloon Lamar made his order and sat with his back to the bar so he could properly scan for possible bed mates. after a few beers he gained the courage to approach a ravishing redhead at the far end of the bar. "you look thirsty, mind if i buy you a drink?"

Tears came to the girl's beautiful emerald eyes at the word 'Thirsty.' Thirsty didn't even begin to describe what she was feeling... She was half starved and in dire need of blood before she returned to the land of the dead... And she hadn't even got her revenge.

She shuffled into the far corner of the booth she was sitting in and whimpered, "I-I'm not... available.... for the evening... P-Please... Leave me be..."

Males... How she hated the lot of them. The only thing they thought about were their beloved cocks, and what woman they were going to bed. But that hardly took a thought, the only things that would qualify would be a decent face, and large breasts.

Manna peered out of the edge of her hood and noticed the stranger still sitting there, so she proceeded to curl up into a ball with her feet up on the booth, hoping he would just leave.

Lamar looked at her for a bit then he began, "um.. or i could get you some food, are you hungry?" he reached for her hand, "its not like im asking anything of you, i just wanted some company." his voice almost sounded sad, but his eyes were genuine. he felt bad for frightening her.

Manna couldn't keep her body from trembling in response to his touch, but knew the man meant well. biting her lower lip to keep the tears out of her eyes she shook her head, "I can't... eat."

Sad and true... Her esophagus empties into a small sack, which drains blood into the heart, which gets pumped throughout her body... So eating any food could cause instant death for her. She was on a strict blood diet... didn't matter what kind, so long as it wasn't too terribly diseased.

Pulling her hand out from under the stranger's she pointed to the seat across from hers and mumbled, "But you're welcome to order something and sit down..."
