Surprise Attack?
In the blink of an eye, 15 days had passed since the moment Minos and Maida departed the Flooded Valley.
In that time, they had traveled quietly through the Kingdom of the Waves, having followed a slightly different path than the one used by Minos and Abby on that trip years ago.
And coupling that distinctive route with Maida's speed, young Stuart had already crossed almost half of this state in just half a month, which had previously taken almost two months when he and his girlfriend had traveled with Ebba.
In any case, they had not faced any problems so far, as they were powerful by regional standards and had also spent very little time in cities.
At most, Minos would stop every few days in some country town to just buy some primary resources. Other than that, he and his beast companion had spent all the time they had to rest in temporary camps along the way.
