Lenaya, the capital of Lydia as far as Evia had found out from the humans after asking about the city since seeing the poster. The city was absolutely massive and Evia had been able to see its walls from quite the distance. It was so much larger than the small villages Evia was use to seeing in her journey from Ilpa. She had seen small villages and towns as well as the moving tribes of her people who welcomed her with open arms. Apparently they had known about the tribe on Ilpa and were glad to see one of their kind outside of the island since they had left. Her people had kept her supplied with bread, fish, and nuts whenever she stopped with them as a part of their welcoming gift.  In fact, Evia had stopped a few days ago at one of the tribes before leaving for Lenaya once again with her supplies.

The city was amazing in size and the architecture was like nothing she had ever seen before. Villages had tatch roofing and were built from wood but here, here the houses had stone and wood. It was obvious that this city was the capital by the richness of the buildings inside the walls. The 'peasants', as Evia had come to realize they were called, lived in the small villages while this city seemed to be a mixture of working class people and the upper class society. It was odd to Evia, her village had no such positions as everybody helped everybody. She felt the urge to write about this part of the Lydian society for her people to read about and perhaps warn about. Evia knew that she couldn't write anything until she was somewhere safe where nobody would try and take anything, a person had tried it once with her book and ended up with a bite wound on his hand from Minim. It seemed Minim knew more about human nature than Evia did or at least didn't trust anybody.

Upon arriving inside the city, Evia promptly searched through many shops to find a woman selling ink. It was a bottle, the same size as her empty bottle, and bought the bottle for what happened to be all of her money. Only to realize, a few minutes later from another vendor, that the person she had just bought from often swindled new comers. Evia was not happy with this and as such had been in a foul mood since early morning. Minim had tried her best to fix Evia's mood only to be met by a sort of half smile from Evia. Minim had been her friend for so long and had never left for long, only occasionally to find some fish. Evia had sat underneath a small tree with Minim in her lap hoping to hear somebody mention the Golden Gaur so she could ask them for directions. Those who did mention it would scoff at Evia's question as if she was a child unable to care for herself.

After about six people, Evia took to the street and began to ask the occasional person who didn't seem busy for directions. Most said they had not the time to explain to a newcomer. It took several minutes before she met a man who was willing to give her directions. He led her down an alleyway and then turned the corner where he stopped. As soon as he stopped, the man pulled out a knife and Evia could hear movement from behind her. "Give me everything ya got and don't try anything funny. That there creature of yours would make a pretty penny on the blackmarket babe." the man said as he waved the knife closer to Evia. The person behind her had approached so that he held a knife right against her pack. It was a bad move on that man's part. As soon as he moved to take the pack, Evia twisted around and gripped his wrist. Before the man could do anything, Evia had already thrown him off balance by hooking her forearm at the crook in his knee and pulling forward.

The man fell backward and landed with a dull thud as his head knocked against the stone. Evia turned her attention towards the first man who had promptly advanced towards her while she was knocking the second man down. He lunged with his knife at Evia only to catch a set of sharp, hooked teeth in his forearm from Minim. Evia took advantage of the situation by pulling her swords from their place at her hips and pressing both tips into the man's sides. His struggling stopped as he realized that the situation had turned against him. Minim let go and hopped back on to Evia's shoulder before she began to talk. "So, you thought you could easily take over little me simply cause I am new here? You are a fool for trying. I don't carry these swords for fun." Evia stated as she pushed the tips into his sides to clarify her point. He obviously understood how bad his situation was as his face blanched from the pain of the swords pricking through his skin.

"I'm going to ask you some question and you are going to answer, yes?" Evia told him as Minim let out a soft growl. The man shook his head affirmative at Evia's trick question. She was tempted to simply injure the man and ask his currently knocked out companion the questions to let off her bad mood but decided against. "Why did you target me? Why did you want to steal from me? How do I really get to the Golden Guar?" Evia pressed the man for questions, some simply to learn something and as well to figure out where she needed to go. "You..you seemed new in town so we thought you would make an easy mark. We needed the money from selling your things to get some food. We didn't mean you any real harm ma'am. To get to the Golden Guar, just leave this alley and take a right then continue to till you reach a intersection of four. Take the left road and you'll eventually find the sign marking the Golden Guar." The man said shakily, seemingly nervous from the swords in his sides. Evia thanked him and walked out the alley way to follow the man's directions.

After several minutes of walking, Evia found the tavern known as the Golden Guar. It's sign held a drawing of a golden humanoid looking reptile on it, something which confused Evia immensely. Never in Evia's life had she heard of or seen a walking reptile. It seemed as such an odd thing to draw for a sign. Evia ignored the oddity of the sign and caustiously entered the tavern, as she had learned to do so many times before. Last time she had walked into a tavern without some caution, Evia had walked directly into a bar fight and was in jail for a night despite the fact that she wasn't even involved in. She entered the dark and mostly empty bar looking around the make sure there wasn't any sort of trap in the bar. There were three people in the bar alread and what appeared to be a big wolf, much larger than anything she had met. A man wearing some heavy looking armor was sitting next to the large wolf, perhaps he was the pet's master.

A young woman with brown hair stood at the bar, probably buying some of the beer the humans loved so much. The third and final person Evia noticed was an older woman sitting alone at a table. Evia felt out of place among these people and felt as if maybe going on this journey was a bad idea. Then she reminded herself that the reason she was going on this journey was to write more about the outside world and return to her people with knowledge of the outside world which could prove helpful. Evia took a seat in a chair against the wall and let Minim sit on the table. She opened her knapsack and pulled out the fish wrapped in seaweed and broke off a quarter of it and handed it to Minim. "Here, you haven't eaten anything of real substance today. Then again, neither have I." Evia said to Minim as she wrapped the fish back up and pulled out a loaf of wheat bread and broke a chunk off it which she proceeded to consume. Evia would have gotten a drink of water or at least some beer if she hadn't used all her money to buy a bottle of ink. "So, are your guys here cause of that poster?" Evia called out to the man in armor and the woman at the bar after having nibbled on some of her bread.
