Now Neriah could not wait to get to Trago. All this while, she had been wary of stepping foot in such barbaric territory. A place she was certain would be ancient with no modern houses and castles. She was certain their castle would be like a hut or maybe worse. What if they enjoyed sleeping out in the open?
All those uncomfortable thoughts filled her head whenever she thought about going to Trago. But after Lyle's letter, things had changed. She no longer dreaded the idea of reaching Trago. In fact she looked forward to it. Because to Neriah, reaching Trago meant being able to see Lyle again and being able to see Lyle again meant a means to escape and if she escaped with Lyle, it meant freedom. Her very own freedom.
