Annchi opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was the sun peaking through the curtains. She quickly got up and saw some new clothes on the dresser. It was a pair of trousers, a jerkin, vest, and undergarments. There was a pair of boots next to the dresser. She dressed then brushed her long hair out. As she finished up, she heard Lanying knocking on the door.
"Good morning, Annchi. Ready for breakfast?" she asked after opening the door.
She was wearing new garments too.
"Oh yes."
The two friends head downstairs and were soon greeted by Sir Reginald and King Charles.
"Good morning, ladies. Sit down please." insisted the king as they led them to the table.
"I'm starved!" commented Lanying.
"Don't worry Miss Lanying. Breakfast will come out soon." assured Sir Reginald.
Soon their breakfast arrived. After they ate, they got ready to leave. King Charles had them meet out behind the castle where their mounts were. They were supplied with food, accessories, and other things. Annchi was given a light sword for her to use and a dagger. Lanying was also given a dagger. Sir Reginald offered to train them as they went. After they were ready, Annchi told Sir Reginald of her dream.
"Sir Reginald, I received a vision last night from Yinglong. He said we need to head west to go to the Kingdom of Atlantis." Annchi said as she got onto her horse.
"That means we have to go over the Radan Mountains. We better be careful." said Sir Reginald before getting on his horse.
"Why?" asked Lanying after getting on her horse.
"Because there are outlaws there."
"Then we will be careful. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get going!" yelled Lanying.
In her excitement, she accidentally kicked her horse and it suddenly galloped off!
"Lanying!" yelled Annchi before taking off.
"Wish us luck, your majesty." said Sir Reginald before going after the two girls, leading the pack horse that was attached to his.
"Farewell!" waved the king.
During this time, Annchi caught up with Lanying, who was trying in vain to get her horse under control.
"Lanying! Pull up your reins!" Annchi ordered.
"Okay!"
She did with all her might and her horse finally stopped. Soon Sir Reginald caught up.
He gasped and asked, "Are you all right, child?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
"You should be more careful."
"I shall."
"Um, guys, west is that way." Annchi pointed in the opposite direction.
"Oh! Quite right!" agreed Sir Reginald.
