We’ve Arrived At Our Destination

Getting closer to Altoki, Silvia felt uneasy. They were going into enemy turf and she didn't know if they would be able to come out unscathed. However, with Chad by their side, she felt a glimmer of hope. She glanced over at him, taking in his strong profile. He may not have any magical powers, but he was just as brave and resourceful as they were, plus he was more familiar with this current century. So he had an advantage in their ways.

Sometime later, they began driving through the lush forests further into the heart of Altoki. Chad pointed out various landmarks and told them about the history of the region. Silvia listened attentively, soaking in the new information. She was struck by how much had changed in the 600 years since she and Amich had been away from Astasia. Technically, it seemed like only a day had passed according to them. They had skipped most of the centuries.
