Chapter 23 - Chapter 22: The voyage to Wildowol

The next day they are ready to head out. With the might of fifteen thousand men. At the forefront is Savr along with Victoria and the rest of them. Victoria feels pretty bad about what happened with Savr but she doesn't want to talk to him.

"Captain, will you ride in between me and Savr?" Victoria asks while she was whispering.

"Victoria, he's not going to fight you. He's under orders from his father to not hurt you." Captain Jeffers says

"You really believe he's gonna honor that?" 

"Yeah." 

"Well I don't and you doing this for me will give me peace of mind." Victoria pleads

"Ok if it'll make you feel any better I'll do it. Jeffers says

"Thank you Anton." Victoria says as her horse trots forward. 

"Huh, she's never called me by my real name before." Anton says

Savr then rides up to Captain Jeffers

"Are you ready to go to the Elven kingdom?" Savr asks

"Yeah." Jeffers answers

"Where's the girl?"

"She's over there." Jeffers says as he points Savr to Victoria's direction.

"You know she's scared of you." Jeffers tells Savr

"Good, fear is control." Savr says

"What a douche." Jeffers mutters to himself

"Come on men we'll be in Wildowol by noon!" Savr shouts

They begin to march through the forest to make it to the kingdom of Wildowol.

At the front of the army is Jeffers, Victoria and Savr with Jeffers riding in the middle of both of them.

Victoria looks the other way trying not to make eye contact with Savr.

The march is awkward with no one really talking to each other.

Savr tires of the silence and says

"So do they just not talk in the show you come from?" 

"Well Stellar Odyssey is dialogue heavy an-" Jeffers who was speaking is interrupted by Savr when he says

"I was talking to the girl."

Victoria's heart drops and she doesn't feel like answering. But she feels like she must

"We talk quite a bit in London." Victoria says

"London, what a ridiculous name for a City." Savr says

"Oh, but Olson is a fine name." Victoria says sarcastically

"Olson is a mighty name for a mighty kingdom. Sauldaria is civilization unlike the rest of Elda."

"Wildowol is pretty civilized" Victoria says

"They pass as civilized." Savr says

"I'm sorry they pass as civilized. They aren't the ones who have an entire colosseum in their city." Victoria says

"What's wrong with a little blood sport?" Savr asks

"It's barbaric." Victoria says

"It's fun." Savr argues

They both get mad at each other and feeling the tension Jeffers says

"Hey, it seems like we're approaching Wildowol."

"Victoria would you like to ride to the chapel with me?"  Jeffers asks

"Not now. Maybe when we introduce the army of men to the elves." Victoria says

"Right." Jeffers acknowledges

Victoria and the gang make it to the city wall. 

One of the guards on top of the wall asks

"Is thou here for business or pleasure?"

"Woah!" He shouts As he sees the army standing there.

"It's ok we're friendly we are here on orders of the king." Jeffers says

"Prove it then." The guard says

"Bring the Prince out here to see." Jeffers says

"Alright" the guard says

A little while later Prince Conall Nevar comes out

"Woah! Ye leave and come back with an entire army." Conall says

"Look Conall, the reason we brought Savr and his army of goons is because Horman the Spellcaster has stolen the heart of D'vron and he has probably delivered it to him at this point." Victoria pleads

"That violates the order of the story Conall. You have to let us in." Savr says

"Fine, have fun in my city." Conall says
