Chapter 10: Horned Wolves (1/3)
DARKWOOD FOREST
It was the late hours of the morning, the sun hanging in the sky had already begun bathing the earth with its bright and fairly scorching illumination.
Alister and the Muzez Kingdom's crew could be seen journeying on horses through a lonely path leading to the exit of the darkwood forest.
Theobald and Alister rode beside each other in front of the crew, both mounting agile white horses. Behind them were other soldiers riding on black horses.
King Julian and Osborne were in the carriage at the middle of the crew, and there were other soldiers riding behind them, keeping watch.
More than three hours had passed since they began their journey.
The journey so far had been peaceful compared to what they had expected, there were no attacks from wild beasts, and no bandit group had stepped up to sabotage them.
This was very unlike the previous days, when they got attacked almost every hour of their journey. Some of the soldiers even began to speculate that the presence of the great hero had brought luck, preventing all sorts of adversaries.
"Your uniform? Where is it from? Are you part of a special league of heroes in your world?"
Theobald asked curiously.
"Nah, this is a school uniform."
