It had been a long two weeks but they had finaly made it. The shining directly over them which meant it was mid day. Over the last hill there it stood. The Kingdom of Alvanista was there infront of them. Cless and Mint made their way into the city to see the king. The gaurds of the castle blocked their way, "State your buisness!" One gaurd said. "Let us through please! We need to speak to the king." The gaurd sighed. "Your heard the rumors too." Cless and Mint nodded. "Well I guess you could in." They entered the castle. Eventually they made their way to the throne room where they were once again blocked by two more gaurds. "The king is in a meeting right now. Do not enter!"
In the throne room the king was talking to a messenger. "Reconsider your decline!" He said in a harsh tone. The king shook his head. "I will not risk the lives of Alvanista just because your country supposedly wants to make peace." The messenger was furious. Rinkles covered his forehead. He stormed off. "You'll regret this! With your blood!"The messenger was now gone. The king sighed and wondered how he was going to get through this. Cless entered and bowed before he could speak. " Your majesty. I-" He was cut off. "I know what your going to say and yes we are it seems. The Arian empire are willing to fight for something so small as a treaty. Might as well prepare.
Cless didn't say anything. Mint walked in bearing her staff at her side. "Is there anything we could do to help?" She stood next to Cless as he talked. "Im afraid not." The king responded. "Then we are sorry that we bothered you." He stood up next to Mint and they both made their way out the of the room. "One more thing." The king added. "The Arians have a small camp nearby. I'd advise you not to approach. I don't want to lose any lives till I can get this hole thing resolved." They nodded and continued.
Chester was still mad that Cless and Mint had left him behind. The town was now finished. He grunted again and again which only made him even more pissed. "How could they do that to me!" He stomped his feet on the floor like alittle four year old. "Calm down Chester. Look at how childish your acting. Gotta have self control if I want to get through this." He was yet again talking to himself. Maybe I could go and visit Arche alone. She could- He cut the thought of at that. He wanted to see Arche more than anything. So he packed some food and clean clothes and headed for Ymir forrest.
"They have a camp." Cless said as they had left the city. Mint didn't say anything. "We sjould probably go check it out." She froze for a second. "Lets not and say we did." Cless turned around to look at her. "Come on. I'd really like to know what we're up against." Mint shook her head. "Come on Mint!" She sighed. "I have bad feeling about all this." Cless ran his hand through his hair. He paused for a moment. "Well lets just take a peak then we leave. Ok?" Mint nodded still unconvinced.
There was a hill afew feet infront of them. Cless rushed while young blonde behind him hurried. He went down to crawl as he reached the top. Mint crouched down next to him looked at everything he saw. It wasn't a camp, it was a barracks! The entire place was covered with Arian forces. "Whoa. They really are preparing for war." He stared at the site for a minute or two. "Cless watch out!" But it was too late. Both Cless and Mint were knocked unconcious. "General. Look at what I found." The man appeared to be a scout. The general walked over. "What do you want us to do with them?" The general grinned and chuckled. "Arrest them for trespassing." The small base had become more of a garrison town. With a small prison built for the captured to stay.
They were in trouble. As Alvanista made preperations for the war, the small Arian base made plans of attack.
