The Boundaries

Royce and I didn't have any luck finding any people in the village, and we made our way towards the boundaries of our land. My kingdom went far beyond the walls, and this was only the beginning. There was a small rickety hut that we had to pass in order to make it out of here.

It carried our kingdom's mage, Jersonif. He is a trusted guide among many. He will either kill us at this point or let us live on to complete our quest. Only those worthy get to pass his hut.

"Who goes there?"

"Queen Daphne, and Prince Royce."

"Ahhh, the couple! Why do you dare cross my hut?"

"We do not wish to marry one another. We seek a different suitor. And no one better to choose them than ourselves."

"That is very true, young Daphne. But this will not be an easy task. Do you think you are able to defeat such a challenge?"

"I do, sir."

"I do as well, sir."

"Than you shall pass. May luck, find you on your journey."

And with that, our guest passed his weird test, and we moved forward. There was a little village that we could stop by. The Boundaries Village of The Chosen. It wasn't a good name, but a name none the less.

We wandered in, village folk, who looked to be about a couple decades old, were staring in mild surprise."

An older man greeted us.

"Hello, weary travelers. I am Yritbrium, ruler of this small village. May I ask for your names?"

"Daphne and this is Royce."

"Such beautiful names. What quest are you both on?"

"To find the love of our lives. We are being forced to marry each other, and hope to find someone we love instead."

"That is a mighty quest, indeed. Let is pray happiness finds it's way to you."

"Thank you. Do you know any kingdoms near here that would take us in?"

"There is only one I can think of. Wiltiabry, the kingdom of misfits, and the magical. They will accept all. Even the ones who don't belong."

"What does that mean?"

"The ones from other worlds. The ones who come from magical decent. The ones who were chosen for greatness. Even the ones who wish to be another."

"That sounds like a lovely place. Which way should we travel?"

"North. About that direction. That is were the gates to your destiny await."

"Thank you, you are very kind. I will not forget you all!"

"And neither will we. Goodbye, Daphne and Royce! Do make a safe journey!"

"Wait, what is your journey?"

"You will find out soon enough, young one. The time will come when you realize something so great that you will finally understand our purpose of being here."

"Weird, but ok. Thanks for the directions again!"

And we started walking. We had no idea how long this would take, or even if we would make it. We had some jerky and a canteen or two of water, but we don't know how long it will take. I hope we make it.

Or all of this was for naught.
