The journey to the Pala kingdom was different than expected.
Varian believed getting into the capital and into the royal quarters to live there for a while would be something he'd do with dread.
He's nervous, yes. Afraid of things going wrong, also yes.

And he believed he stopped trying to be a hero. But as more and more time passed as the 'Ruler', his opinion seemed to have shifted.
In the end, when the time came to take the most important decision, his priorities finally became clear.
In the spacious ship of the little princess, Varian, Sarah, Enigma, Sonya, and Reina began their journey.
