Chapter 43

Lucas~

Sneaking out of the palace was easy enough all things considered. The guards barely gave me a second glance when I walked through the gates on the premise of visiting an old friend I knew in the clan. An hour and a half later and I find myself in the middle of nowhere and I mean literally nowhere. Everything looks the same no matter which way you look and I can barely see the sun through the thick tall moss-covered trees surrounding me. Add the mountains of snow covering everything and you've got yourself a frozen wasteland.

I take a look at the compass following the needle pointing northwest, through the densest part of the forest and towards a swamp. I roll my eyes and smack my palm against my forehead. I didn't even know it was possible to have a swamp in this frozen hellhole.

Great... Just GREAT
