Walking normally, for me it would take me 47 minutes to the entrence of the fort. 

As the Chief villager said that there are entrences for Nobility, commoners and for the final known as the 'lower quarter' it's were the demi-humans and other creatures lives, not only that, black markets are more often there. If that's the case.  I will go for the commoner part even if I can enter the Noble part of the city and then what? I may look as an noble boy that looks easy target for thiefs. Walking towards the capital of the Alchenian Empire I could see carts, horse like creatures with short sized ears  with little pointy edges and the muscline body. It looked more like it was breed of a horse and panther. At the entrance was little crowded with people and carts with those creatures, for transport? Either way as I was walking, the walls were getting bigger ,,Magnificent" I said to myself.

At the Entrance gate were five guards, one of them doing the checking work and questioning, the other four guards were standing by the two sides and overseeing who enters and leaves.

,,Come on long! Do not break the line!" said the guard thay inspected the passers.

I arrived in front of the gate, there were two transport carriagess, behind them I was waiting with a small mass. We were moving fast, the guards were doing the job fine. 
,, Sir, you you can enter. No need for waiting in the row.'' the inspector guard said to me with respectful tone.

Yes, i knew it. This path was the easiest no papers nor questions. 

I nodded to him and I moved from the line and passed freely. I have entered Yatican the holy City. When I moved the path was leading towards small fontaine with different direction roads. This part was clean, but with grey vibes. With old and poor constructed buildings and the maintaince of the place wasn't good, seeing by the quality of the construction.  In this quarter the poor socioeconomic class was living. In every corner there were beggars.

I walked to the fontaine and looked around to see for directions and any taverns. People looked at me, their eyes filled with missery, sadness and hatred begging for hope. 

,, Now let's explore the quarter, but which road...the right is road has more people walking, the others are not that crowded,  the right is right choice.'' i said to myself.

While I was walking a small girl showed in front of me, blocking my way. She was holding in her left hand small child boy. Both were with old clothes but well cared. 

,,Hallo traveler, you look like your tired. Come to the Tavern in the central square, we have delicious food and drinks!'' the girl said.

The two were brother and sister. Humans. The boy looked as 7 years old and his sister 10 years old. 

Both of them came from nowhere. I don't know who these are, they could be thiefs send by someone to still for them. Best to keep away from them.

I gave them friendly soft smile and said ,, Why hello there little miss, and little mr. Thank for the offer but i'm just passing by, bye stay safe kids''. I left.

In meantime the sun was going down, I should move and find a place to stay. However this part of the city is just dump, the security isnt that tight, what's worse is that roads, and houses, shops are old and ready to fall as for the walls they are shining, like white quartz. 

During exploring the quart I found the central square, it was cleaner. The Buildings where around it and some of them looked like they where the administration and few like ordinary shops, in the middle of the shops in front of me was bigh like house?

People were leaving and entering, I asked an old guy on the road what was that and he ignored me.

,,I mean, ok...I should've gone by the noble gate,damn. Let's just enter that, it could be tavern'' I thought to myself.

That was a Tavern and I got one room for three night's with no one breakfast and dinner. That was an Inn with friendly  owners. I put my coat on the wooden chair  and I sat on the bed, looking in the wall in front of me.

I signeed deeply and streched my arms up with expresionless tired face.

,,Now what?"
