According to Lord Victor those mages were headed to the capital city of Pearlheart kingdom.
I spared no time thinking and head straight to the kingdom with Red. Lord Victor was an influential man therefore if he was to be accompany us we were attract unnecessary attention.
Therefore only me and Red were going. There was no teleportation gate direct to kingdom so we arrived at the town which was nearest to the border.
To reach the kingdom we had to cross the forest. It was the fastest route possible at that time.
-----
Unlucky for us the town was a home to bandits and criminals there was no law here. There were 2 gangs of bandits which happened to be fighting on daily basis. So it was dangerous for us to stay for night here. So we entered the forest.
-----
Sun was about to set, we found a place near a river and set up our camp there. After dinner Red told me to sleep while he will look out for possible dangers.
At midnight I woke up and told Red to sleep.
-----
I was sitting beside fire and worried about my parents. Then I suddenly heard a sound. Red heard it too and woke up. Fog was starting to appear. We weren't able to see anything. Suddenly there was rise in the Water level of river.
It was a matter of time when that whole place was under water. I got caught up in flood. Red tried to rescue me but he doesn't know how to swim so I shouted," do not jump Red, continue heading straight. We'll meet up somewhere."
-----
When I regained my senses it was morning. I was somewhere deep in the forest. It was a bright sunny day. I kept heading straight to the kingdom. After walking some distance I heard a strange roar. I thought it was some kind of monster I should keep my guard up.
-----
When I came closer to that noise I saw a boy seems to younger than me. He was afraid when he saw me. I approached him very carefully so that he might not feel any danger from me.
