178: Forbidden forest

“This is the forest of submergence. They say that a witch lives here that has extraordinary powers to be able to pinpoint any location. Of course, I've never met her before today but I do know that-” the princess rambled. Her nervousness showed in her words.

The pair had been lucky enough not to have faced any more beasts on the way here but Maria was just counting time till their next big hurdle. Things were never this easy and she had learned this the hard way.

“-but they say that he’s an old witch and a guy to boot as well. How weird is that? A guy using holy magic and being good at it-” the princess continued, unaware that she had lost her companion’s interest a long time ago.

And as interesting as the princess’s words were, Maria was just not interested in knowing this much about someone she was only going to meet first.
