The witch's tower: The last witch's curse

Spellcast 2: Restart

"W-We made it!" Ciel cried for joy as he flew next to Arthur, who sat on Olier, overlooking the small village before them. It was just hitting sundown, and for once, the orange sky of the late dusk , didn't contrast so atrociously with the red skies of the plagued lands, which were now only in the distance... Arthur's eyes narrowed at the witch's tower which loomed from out of the plagued lands, before he then sighed, hopping off from Olier...
"It doesn't matter too much, I made it here much earlier last time, I was able to explore the village for a little bit..." He told Ciel as he led Olier by the reigns down to the village...
"Well sorry that my joy was too uncalled for..." Ciel tutted, following Arthur down and flying onto Olier's back for a rest...

The village was a small one, and quite an unknown middle land village... People here, were already beginning to evacuate to the inland villages, some here originally from the outland villages that had all been destroyed by the plagued lands... Arthur recalled the last time he was here, he had his concerns about the over population that was soon going to arise in the inland villages, already these villages were quite overcrowded and uncomfortable looking... Nonetheless, despite the fact that this small village was bustling with people, it was still quite picturesque. There stood many tall wooden and stone houses, some being about three tiers high, depending on how rich certain people were. There were small gardens for shrubbery and different herbs and crops, though nobody did their main farming in these gardens, as their farmland laid spread out around the village, in small bouts of land. This village was known for its produce of vegetables, such as Lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, and others of the sorts. People here were fairly welcoming, which after the war, was pretty hard to come by, which was the main reason in which Arthur had decided to stay here... He looked around, trying to find the inn which he had stayed in last time.

It wasn't long before he found it again, the only inn in this village that had a room spare, and a stable to house Olier securely. The inn had a large blue hanging sign to the side of it, in the shape of a crescent moon, a small set of wooden stars coming off it, and if he remembered correctly, it was called the waxing inn. In all honesty, the one benefit of time restarting was the fact that he was not having to go knocking from door to door, trying to find a place with free beds to sleep in. He perhaps was about half an hour early from getting to this inn from last time; however, he was not going to let the bat know that...
"It looks a little shabby..." Ciel uttered as Arthur sighed.
"It's our best bet until tomorrow morning, you wanted the inn, we are at the inn..." Arthur told Ciel who frowned at the building a little, before then he snickered.
"Well that is all well for you, but I have a luxurious bed at home waiting for me with mistress, it's a beautifully decorated pole with fine wood-"
"Good for you..." Arthur replied in a cold way, knocking the door and cutting in Ciel's word, as Ciel seemed to take immediate offence from this...
"How rude..." he uttered as the door opened to reveal a man in his late thirties, with semi long dark brown hair and a large beard and a young girl with light brown hair in a ponytail. Both had matching wide and bright green eyes.
"Hello, welcome to the Waxing inn, what can we do for you?" The man welcomed Arthur warmly as Arthur smiled back at him...
"Hello, I was wondering if you had room for one person and his horse..." Arthur inquired, pointing to Olier as the man looked up at Olier, quite amazed.
"My, that is quite the dashing stallion you have there! Sure thing, we have a few rooms spare and a nice stable for this big fella to go. It's three gold for the night, oh and four gold for the horse!" The man stated as Arthur nodded, already having his money ready.
"Here..." Arthur stated, dropping the gold into the man's hands as the man smiled at him.
"Let me just open up the stables for you and you put the big guy to bed before we take you inside!" the man told Arthur as the young girl pointed up to above Olier.
"Is the bat staying too?" The girl asked as Arthur gave a cold expression.
"No, he's outside on the nearest faulty tree branch..." Arthur answered as Ciel tried his best not give a small cry of protest at Arthur's words...
