Leaving the Capital [2]

All of a sudden my eyes opened, at first I went into alert mode since I was having a hard time for the past few days but soon I realized I was worried over nothing.

Though one more realization hit me the next second; 'Fuck!' I screamed internally and quickly looked below.

It was fine. Challes was still there.

I just made a big mistake; which was to feel asleep and gave Challes the chance to attack me; in short I let my guard down. My elemental magic chains wouldn't have vanished even if I was sleeping but he sure has gotten the chance to break through them.

However, he hasn't and was still sitting in the same position as before.

"Awake huh?" he said.

At first, I was a bit confused but then I noticed that we were the only ones in the wagon.

"You had the chance to escape, why you didn't?"
