The Travel And Torment

"I feel odd," whispered the princess into the seer's ear as he carried her on his back. 

She was dizzy and weak, unable to even open her eyes completely.

"Where are we? Why are we here?" the princess asked, her head throbbing.

The seer did not reply; he was preoccupied with the system.
