Revolution

Chapter 3

Dream stood at the dock and waited. He stared at the big ship he was about to go on. He's never been on a ship before. He's never left his island before. He stood behind king Marlof and waited to get on. Servants and workers rushed about, preparing everything and making sure it could be perfect.

He took a deep breath, this entire trip was causing him to panic. He would have to not only ride across the ocean but then when he got to the kingdom he had to find a way to escape. Then there would be a lot more to do after that.

Then the king was ushered onto the boat, after they got king Marlof on and got someone to bring him to his room they took Dream and brought him to a room. It was a nice room, it had a decent sized bed, some paintings, candles, and more. Once all of his stuff was brought on the ship he grabbed a bag. He went through it for a bit until he found something and pulled it out.

It was a map of king Marlof's land and the area surrounding it. He had got it when he had a conversation with the man a couple days ago when he was asking him some questions. Dream then got out a pen and began to map out where he was gonna go.

He put a dot on the kings land then drew a line to where he was gonna go. He was gonna travel through a land with valleys and forests first, then he would have to go up or around a mountain, after that he would have to cross a river, then travel across a very dark and long forest, once he got through that he would make it to his destination.

What is his destination? He will find himself in a kingdom that is not an ally with Marlof's kingdom, so even if they do catch him there's a chance they won't return him. He does pass through two other kingdoms on his travel, but those two have a close connection and agreement with king Marlof, so they would definitely turn him in if they found him.

Dream then folded the map up again and set that and the pen inside his bag. He went and laid in bed. After a few minutes though the ship took off. The sudden movement shocked him, before it was moving but that was just extremely gentle. Now it was starting off and going.

Dream went outside of his room to look. He held the rail and watched as his island slowly became less and less visible until he couldn't see it anymore. Now all he saw was the long, deep ocean. He sighed, was he really ready for this?
