Chapter 5

*=Edited by BattleTracs=*

Knight's POV: "I think I used too much Rukh..." 'Wait where is the pantherian?!' When I looked up I saw the pantherian laying against a tree, "Thank the gods that she is still here." 'My only chance at promotion almost vanished *Sigh*. Then again it was my fault for using such a powerful Sword Art. Dammit how am I such an idiot. I'll keep my eye on her so when she wakes up we can leave.'

Akisa POV: I opened my eyes to see the knight staring at me. I quickly got up and went behind the tree that I was laying on. I yell to him, "Why in the blazes were you staring at me while I was Asleep?!"

The knight just got up and said "I also woke up just now."

I look at him doubtfully before remembering how he fought that golem for my sake. I just sigh as I lower my guard and stop hiding behind the tree. The knight then yells while walking away, "Come on we spent too much time that we could have spent traveling to the kingdom." Remembering how he wanted me to come and meet his king I just followed along toward his horse which was conveniently close to where we met the golem or should I say, Kitsuya.

=====1 day spent traveling to his Kingdom====

I ask "How much further 'till we reach your kingdom?" He responds briefly, "2 1/2 days." I exhale as I realize we are nowhere near the kingdom. I just sigh before trying to fall back asleep hoping to pass as much time as possible because the journey to his kingdom is still a decent time away and I don't want to spend my time awake and helping him with anything.

=====2-1/2 days spent traveling to his kingdom====

I wake up as I can hear the knight talking to some others that seem to be the guards for the gate into the city. I sat up wondering how long this is going to take, then the gate guards looked at me surprised when they saw my ears pop up and my tail behind me start moving.

I start to think that this is a waste of time, but just as I think that they let us in very fast. Even I was surprised as they seemed to take their time when the knight was showing his I.D. and pass to enter back into the city but seeing as I was a pantherian, an extinct race, they just let us in without hesitating not even bothering to see if my ears and tail were real, how are they even guards if you let in some stranger without thinking that if they were fake? "Those idiots." I mumble to myself.

====A while later=====

The knight knocked me on the head as I was daydreaming since what else could I do? I literally have no knowledge on how this world functions. As we were on our way to the castle. The knight just tells me that we are at the front gate to the castle already where this King of theirs resides, well it couldn't be that far away right? Wrong, it took around 20 minute to traverse this maze of a castle to the throne room and then wait an extra 10 minutes for them to allow us in "UGGHHH" the knight just turned around amused at how frustrated I was by giving off a little scoff.

Then behind the large door to the room there was a voice most likely from the king, "You may enter."
