Chapter 17 - Part 17: Travel

The townspeople took their wagons and attached them to the horses of the assassins for travel. Some assassins were left to inspect the kingdom for the riches and hidden treasure. King Theon was the one leading everyone on a white horse. Any little girl would mistake him for a prince charming but wearing black clothing.

The townspeople were singing joyous songs and king Theon sang along. His kingdom is growing bigger every day and their lands are enough to house them, even now with more territory. Their smiles brightened up the day.

It was cloudy, making it easy to travel. They followed the river that leads to the kingdom of Imperion.

After two days and two nights, they finally arrived at the kingdom Imperion's gates. King of Imperion is now a growing, large kingdom. The citizens are righteous. All of them were refugees, abandoned citizens, people who surrendered and some were found lost in the woods, left for dead and those who lost their memories.

King Theon finally took back his father's kingdom that was renamed Kingdom de Bleu but now back to the original name, Kingdom Imperion.

The very first person who helped King Theon was sir Norix. King Theon found sir Norix after the war where his father was killed. Sir Norix was a boy who was hiding in the back alleys of town. King Theon figured out that his parents were killed and their house was burned to the ground. Later on in life, sir Norix swore to protect and serve King Theon for the rest of his life.

The assassins who serve under King Theon were old soldiers who were left to die in battlefields. There were also many of them who were abandoned children who grew up in kingdom Imperion and became assassins to repay King Theon's kindness.

The guards of the gate sawa the incoming King Theon with new subjects and they opened the gates at once. They were greeted by the loyal people of Imperion. Women threw petals at the king, to the assassins, and the new people. They showed them smiles and shook their hands. The children clapped along with the adults and the elderly raised their fists into the air, their joy honoring their beloved young king's return.

"Everyone! Make our new people feel welcome!" King Theon instructed the assassins and the people of Imperion. They all know what to do and introduced themselves.

King Theon heads to the stables after everyone was showing the new people around and the assassins start cleaning up the mess.

King Theon got down from his white horse and placed him in his stable. He got some hay and gave it to the steed. "Winter...something tells me that I want to do something." He talked to his horse like he would to a normal human being. He looked to the left part of the stable where a mare was with her newborn colts. "Do I want a partner?" He asked to himself. He sighed as he heard winter, a horse, neigh. "Well...I'm talking to a horse. I guess that means something."
