Outside a forest close to the town Elmik
Evangelyne looked at the map to see that they weren't that far from a town,
"Got to say for a Princess that's been kept in her kingdom for a long period of time she can really get around." Dally said as Eva rolled the map up and placed in her bag.
"As true as that is." Eva agreed. "It still doesn't make up for the fact that she ran away from home."
"True, but why'd she leave in the first place?" Dally asked as they began to walk again.
"From what I've been told she left because she had an argument with her father," Eva explained. "But if I know Amalia and I do there's more to the story then what we've been told."
"Oh, so is that the reason you told the Sadida guards you would find her on your own?" Dally questioned.
"Yes it is." Eva answered. Just then Percedals stomach growled. "Maybe we should stop in at an inn and get some food."
"Why hello there." a voice said, coming closer. "You all travelers."
Evangelyne and Percedal saw that it was an old male Pandawa with a cart being pulled by a whyt looked like a yak.
"I guess you could say that." Eva answered, stopping dally from saying anything. "We're on our way to that town to eat."
"Well then let me give you some good advice." the man suggested. "There's this wandering food cart near town that makes some of the best food you could have around. It's almost like food only the royal should have."
Percedal thought for a moment then asked, "This cart wouldn't happen to be called the Wandering Dragon would it?"
"Why yes I think it is." the old Pandawa answered.
"Yugo." Dally said, looking towards the town. "Thanks for the advice." as the man rode away Percedal took Evangelyne's hand and started to run. "Come on Eva."
"What's the hurry and who is Yugo?" Eva said running at full speed to keep up with Dally.
"An old friend I've been dying to introduce you to." Dally said back.
At the Entrance to the town of Elmik
"Back off Iop brain!" Mina shouted, taking hold of the hand that was reaching for Amalia's butt. "You want to keep the ability to hold a sword then rethink the action you're about to take."
"Sorry, I swear I was just trying to get her attention so that I could get a bit more Bamboo Milk." the man said, while retracting his hand.
"Then use your mouth, not your hand." Mina said refilling the mug the man had. "Also, sorry to tell you but we are almost out of Bamboo Milk so this will have to be your last refill."
"Oh man," the man complained. "Then I guess that means it's time for the Wandering Dragon to move along."
"Yep." Mina agreed, leaving the man to drink with his buddies.
"Thanks for that." Amalia said taking summoning a large flower to sit on.
"No problem." Mina said, taking a seat on the ground. "Got to say in only a few days you've really come a long way."
"You think." Amalia questioned. "I still have problems when it comes to getting supplies in towns and the men still sometimes get a hand on me."
"Maybe but you've been learning quickly." Mina explained. "You're able to get Nora and Chibi under control when Yugo's not around, when it came to keep track of the money you even impressed Yugo."
"You really think he's impressed?" Amalia asked, blushing a bit. Mina then started to smile like she had just hit the jackpot. "What are you smiling about?"
"Oh nothing, just that you really seem to want my brother to acknowledge you." Mina said with a hint of
Amaila sighed then said, "Look I know where you're going with this, and I have to stop you there. I'm the princess of a kingdom remember and I'm sure that they've sent out search parties for me already."
"Maybe so but You and Yugo would look great together and Chibi & Nora adore you, plus having you around has made it so much more fun."
"Mina thank you for the kind words but mostly my father is already drowning in anger with me running away." Amalia said, looking away towards the horizon. "I have to say it has been fun traveling with you guys and seeing the world with my own eyes. But all things as nice as they are, must come to an end at some point."
"Amaila." Mina said softly, feeling that she was about to cry.
"AMAILA?!" a voice shouted.
Amaila and Mina looked towards the voice to see a female Cra wearing mostly black while standing next to a male Iop with black pants and a white cape.
"Evangelyne!?" Amalia shouted quickly standing up. She then started to laugh a little then said, "Of course you would be the one to find me. Guess I'm in trouble huh."
"You have no idea." Eva said walking over to Amaila. "But I'm glad to see you." Evangelyne hugged Amaila, happy to see her old friend again.
"Hey Mina," Nora said, coming over. "Yugo said that we need to close the food cart early. We're out of BambooMilk."
"Is there still a chance an old friend can still get a meal even if you're out of BambooMilk." Dally said, walking over to the group.
"No way!" Mina said, jumping into Percedals arms. "Dally It's so good to see you."
"Good to see you Mina." Dally said, hugging Mina back. "I think we all have a lot to talk about."
"Guess so." Mina said seeing Evangelyne not looking too happy about her being in Percedal's arms. "I'll go get some of the stuff put away. Nora go tell Yugo that Dally and his wife are here. Amaila, why don't you fill in our guest about what's going on."
"No problem." Amaila said, taking Evanelyne & Percedal to a table that was still out.
"Got it." Nora said loudly, running away. "Hey big brother Yugo."
"You guys have a seat I've got to clean up the place so we can leave when everything is said and done." Mina said walking away sounding a bit saddened.
