As we sped away from the second port, it was clear that our enemy was hot on our trail. Despite our best efforts, it seemed inevitable that he would soon catch up with us. Concerned about our safety, I turned to Mila and asked her how far we were from the kingdom she had mentioned earlier.
"At this rate, it could take us hours to get there," she replied.
I felt a knot of anxiety tightening in my stomach. Time was running out, and we needed to find a way to evade our pursuer before it was too late.
"I don't think we have that much time," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "Whoever's after us is pretty fast. It's only a matter of time before he catches up with us."
Mila, however, remained calm and collected. "Don't worry," she said confidently. "I know a safe way up ahead."
"A safe way?" I repeated, surprised.
