All A Dream!

Lathys woke up at dawn and yawned. He got out of bed and stretched out a bit before putting on his boots, sword, dagger, chain mail, and cape. He left his room and went downstairs.
"Good mnorning Lathys," Pete said, "You're up early this morning."
"Good morning Pete," Lathys replied, "I am always up early."
"I see," Pete said while rubbing his chin, "Would you like some breakfast?"
"Not right now, thank you," Lathys said, "I generally have a morning walk before I eat."
"Okay," Pete commented, "Have fun lad."
"Thank you," Lathys said as he left the Inn to go on a walk.
Morning outside the Inn
It was a beautiful day. Lathys walked up and down the road just taking in the sights of Bisanthium and listening to the birds singing. A short time later, Lathys heard a faint sound of laughter. He looked around and then saw a strange building.
"Strange," Lathys said to himself, "I didn't think that Bisanthium had those type of buildings here."
Looking at this short, tower like building puzzled Lathys. He shrugged it off and turned to continue on his walk when he saw another unusual site, a man with wings on his back flying a few feet off of the ground toward the building.
What should Lathys do, Continue on his walk?, or Get involved?
F.L. Atlanta said:
Lathys was shocked to see this man with wings break through the walls of the building.
"I would hate having to be on his bad side," Lathys said to himself.
Then Lathys saw a man leave the building and race off as fast as he could in the direction that the winged man had come from. A little while later, Lathys saw the winged man emerge from the building with a female and male human.
"I guess I need to be on my way again," Lathys said, "Time for breakfast."
Lathys decided to walk all the way around the Inn before going in to have breakfast. Once Lathys got to the back side of the Inn, he saw yet another strange site. Laying on the ground, in some bushes was a boy with the features of a cat. Lathys looked at this cat-boy, then looked up at the building, and back down at the cat-boy.
"Judging by his position," Lathys said to himself, "I would guess that he jumped, or fell from the second story window above him."
Kneeling down next to the cat-boy, Lathys looked him over for any noticable injuries. Lathys didn't find any and was about to see if he had a pulse when a twig snapped. Lathys got up, unsheathed his dagger, and turned to the noise as quick as a flash. He found himself facing a young looking girl with what appeared to be a sack over her shoulder, and behind her, was a cart of some sort. Lathys just stared at her with unblinking eyes, his dagger pointed at her, and thought, "Something is not quite right with this girl." Lathys just kept on looking at her, dagger in hand, and not moving a muscle.
F.L. Atlanta said:
Lathys continued to stare at the young lady and he didn't want to leave the cat-boy alone with her. Lathys knew a few things, 1.) His instincts told him that this young girl couldn't be trusted, 2.) That a cat-boy and the dragon-man are rare, and 3.) His was geting hungry for breakfast.
"Who are you," Lathys asked the girl, "And what is your business?"
Will the girl answer Lathys?

The girl dropped her sack, smiled at Lathys, and winked. Suddenly, she, her sack, and the cart were gone. Confused, scared, and surprised, Lathys looked around, but he did not see her anywhere. Sheathing his dagger, Lathys turned to check on the cat-boy again. He, too, was gone and no where to be seen.
"Something strange is goning on here!" Lathys commented, "Something very strange indeed!"
Just as Lathys was about to leave, he got hit in the back very hard. After landing painfully a few feet away, Lathys glanced up and gasped. Lathys saw the dragon-man again, but this time, the dragon-man held a huge Battle Axe. The dragon-man laughed, raised the Battle Axe, and brought in down on Lathys.
"Augh," Lathys said as he woke up with a start and sweat dripping down his forehead.
Looking around and checking himself out, Lathys realized that he was still in his room and had been dreaming.
"It was all a dream," Lathys said to himself, and sighing, "Man that felt real."
Getting out of bed, Lathys washed up and looked outside. The sun was already up and it looked like another beautiful day. Lathys got dressed and went downstairs.
"Good morning Lathys," Pete said, "Would you like some breakfast?"
"Good morning Pete," Lathys said, "Yes please."
"Have a seat and I'll get you some breakfast and some coffee," Pete said as he went to the kitchen.
"Okay," Lathys said as he sat down and waited for breakfast.
A short time later, Pete returned with some breakfast and coffee for Lathys. Lathys ate and drank, and thanked Pete.
"Be careful Lathys," Pete warned as Lathys was about to leave the Inn, "A lot a stuff happens out there when the sun is up."
"Thanks for the advice and breakfast Pete," Lathys said, "Also the room, and here is 15 pieces of gold for the breakfast and coffee this morning."
"Thank you Lathys," Pete said, "Take care now."
"I will," Lathys said as he left the Inn, "Good bye."
Once outside, Lathys Ranthanos felt like exploring the town of Bisanthium. The streets buzzed with activity, from merchants to buyers not a single street corner was left unmaned. One building caught Lathys's eye, a tavern named The Dragon's Way.
"I wonder what goes on in there," Lathys said to himself.
Lathys decided to go in and find out. Inside was filled with commotion. People arounnd a stage, people on the stage, the bar filled with people wanting drinks, tables were filled with people drinking and talking, and there was an item on the stage that made Lathys shiver. It was the stocks. Lathys pitied anyone who was forced into that thing and tormented by other people. Remembering his prison days, Lathys trembled, for he was put into stocks and tickled until he was released.
"How can people be so cruel?" Lathys asked himself, "That is by far the worst punishment anyone can receive."
Lathys was about to leave when the stage cleared and the crowd got louder with their cheering. Glancing at the stage, Lathys saw some guards or tavern workers bring out another victim of the stocks.
"I might as well stay and watch this," Lathys said to himself, "I might as well see how this works from the opposite view point."
