Chapter 420: The Challenge of Calamity

Drake Sirius had made quick progress and made it to the mountains early the next morning. It was faster than the average pace and he'd considered taking it easy on his sister, but something kept him from doing so. He'd seen the princess during her training for the past several months. Lina wasn't the same 'Little Sister' he was used to coddling.

The Great Sirius mountains loomed over him, challenging him to take a step closer. The great slopes were almost too steep to climb and barren with no sign of life.

Shifting back into his human form, Drake retrieved the map he was carrying and began studying it. He was sure the Mountain pass was somewhere among the ranges, but without knowing which part of the mountains he'd escaped the forest from, he couldn't know which direction to find it.
