359 Southward Bound

Following Christa's advice and the map that they had gotten from the Headmistress, the group turned south through the woods and began making their way to the coast.

It would be a long journey from where they were, over two hundred kilometres, but there should be small villages all along the way, and the changing mood in them would give them an idea if they were on the right track or not.

Once they got to villages which objected to Christa travelling with the seemingly human Ella and Wolfe, they would know that they had found their targets and that it was time to start looking for the prisoners.

Wolfe's hope was that they were still here and not transferred to the Grand Dutchies. That would totally ruin his plans and leave them with nobody to rescue and a lot of angry soldiers in the vicinity.
