The Sage of the Lost Lands

"My Lord, we've been traveling for three days, where are we headed to?"

"Marina, I've said before don't call me Lord or anything of the sort while we are on this journey, just call me Adrian. We don't need any unwanted attention."

"My apologies sire."

"Adrian!"

"Uh...A-Adrian."

"Now see, was that so hard?"

"Yes."

I turned to Marina who had this look about her like she might break down with a fever. Her face was a little red and I could she her sweat slightly.

Was it really so difficult for her to say my name?

"Marina what happened. We were best friends before, you used to call me Adrian all the time when we were little?"

"Things change, we grew up; you became king and I'm your knight."

I sighed "Well you don't have to worry about playing your role for now. To answer your question we are going to see a man who can help us, many call him the 'Sage of the Lost Lands'."
