It was our final moments in Wiltiabry, we were saying our goodbyes to the Queen and the King of this horrid place.

"Have a safe journey!"

We were given a carriage and a whole lot of jerky and fruits. They said it was about a month away. Justinopia was a risk that Royce and I were willing to take. We were already a month and a half into this endeavor, one-fourth of the way complete with this whole thing. And we had to find a fiance on the way, or on the way back, or else we would have to marry each other. The thought of Caitlyn having to stand next to us and watch us get married hurt my heart. She knew I was going to be unhappy, and she had to sit there and smile-

I'm not going to think about it.

Every night we would stop and rest, letting the ox take a break and check their hooves for rocks and stuff. Apply ointment if needed, and then get ready to go in the morning.

It was a pretty solid plan. Until we got robbed, we were maybe a day away, we could see it on the horizon. A pack of wild hooligans jumped our wagon and took half of what we had left. It was just enough to make us hurt a bit. We were not going to be able to stop for the night, the sun setting. We would have to keep going.

Royce fell asleep on my shoulder, it being my turn to drive, my eyelids becoming droopy, the ox becoming antsy.

We made it before I fell asleep, luckily. The castle guards bringing us in for questioning in the morning. They put us in a guarded room for the time being. And just by the few people I saw on the way in, there were some major hotties out there. There was a man with tan skin and dark hair chatting with a woman with pale skin and long blonde hair. Telling them to shut up was a woman with dark skin and very short hair. They seemed like an excellent group to show us around the town, so I made a mental note before I passed out on the bed.

We woke up with the sun and was interrogated by the guards before being let into the town. They let us stay for a few weeks while we passed through. We were only going to look for half a month before searching somewhere else. We had a time limit.

I saw the group from before and began the pleasantries.

"Hello! My name is Daph, and this is Ro! Who might you be?"

"My name is Bllessyng, it is my pleasure."

"The names Raffaele. Pleasure."

"My name is Courtnei! It is a pleasure!"

"We are here to find some dates. How would you guys feel about trying us out?"

"We would love to. And if it doesn't work out, it's fine. We probably won't see each other again anyway."

"Exactly. How about All Hallows Eve. We will take you out to see if any of us fit. You may drop out at any point you see fit."

"Sounds good to me. As long as there will be food anyways..."

"We promise there will be food, Bllessyng."

"Goodie! We'll see you there!"

"See you there!"
