After they left the kingdom, the king went to doing his duties which had multiplied for him, though he had guidance when needed and had no intention of giving up, he wanted to not only make himself stronger but wanted to strengthen the military force of his kingdom.
Almost two days had passed Nessa and the others travelling, they would have arrived at their destination much faster, but Nessa wanted the others to know where they needed to go if they ever leave and needed to return.
She didn't want them to get lost on their way. While they were on their way, Nessa explained to them how things worked back home and the type of creatures that lived with her, and how they prefer to do things.
She made sure to tell them that the others won't trust them easily and they knew that they had to earn their spot and helped the creatures trust them.
