Challenge #04629-L245: Fated Rest

A strange Inn where even Fate itself couldn't interfere. The place was simply called "Respite Rest". A place where fate-bound heroes, adventurers, and individuals like Wraithvine and Bibrid could take a nice, quiet, vacation, shop in the small stores attached for clothing or supplies, bathe in hot springs, and not worry about some major catastrophe. At least until they checked out of the Inn and returned to their travels. -- Anon Guest

The Inn had not been there moments before. It may not be there moments after. It appeared, apparently, wherever it was needed. Now? It was needed here.

Wraithvine boggled at it. The image of the knotted cords of Sai were above the lintel, rather than the chariot wheel of Freja. Just as ze was about to back away in due caution, the host appeared in the doorway.

They looked exactly like hir mother. Right down to the one wisp of hair that always escaped over her left ear. "Be not afraid," she cooed. "Come in, and take a needed rest." Her face dropped a little at the sight of Wraithvine's trepidation, and her face and physicality changed. "My apologies. I try to appear as the most welcoming sight to those new to us. Welcome, please. We are the Respite Rest. Shai sent us to be your ease." She had the knotted cords as a necklace, which was what gave the aura of trust.
