M:   Mandoria was hesitant about going in the carriage, he never liked them because his wings were always too big for him to get into one, back home he opted to ride in a chariot if he needed to but would usually just fly. Even though his wings weren't as big as they were before, the last few weeks have allowed new feathers to slowly start growing, making it difficult to sit comfortably in the carriage but not impossible.

The ride wasn't as pleasant as it was supposed to be, Rowen and Johann had no problem dozing off but Mandoria was too uncomfortable to, eventually having the driver stop so he could get out and just ride on Edel. While he did, he decided to chat with Anglo about life after Prussia became king, "-Saxon has brought us up to date about you and Wales dealing with King Prussia, and I know that many countries have tried to challenge him until Commonwealth fell, have you rejected his rule yet, I know it's a stupid question but I'm just worried that Prussia might try to come here and if you two still 'put up with him' per se, he would have the authority to."


N:   Anglo grumbled at the mention of Prussia, "I know that through Wing Law, he is now King Wing, but I was hesitant from the start, but after he killed Commonwealth, I had enough."

He turned to face the country, "as for if he would come here, BE made it clear to him that if he were to come here without his permission, it would be equivalent to declaring war on him, and when we heard that Prussia was in Spain, it only strengthened BE's demand, as we have recently been against the Kingdom of Spain."

Not wanting to continue with the topic of Prussia, Anglo spoke, "So, it has been a while since we last saw each other, and although we did say that we would visit, circumstance prevented us to." He looked back inside the carriage, "it seems like little Johann has grown into a young man."


M:   "Yes he did," Mandoria said, silently glad the subject was changed, "don't let it fool you though he is still as mischievous as he was back then. Though he is more reserved now, we all are after what we've been through, but it's to be expected. Anyway, I'm just glad that we are here and able to see you guys again, it would also be nice to see BE again but understand if he is too busy."

The two chatted the whole trip, reminiscing about the good days and bringing each other up to speed about the past three years, Mandoria felt it nice to get everything off his chest, he felt that Anglo understood him better than Saxon since he had wings too.

As dawn slowly approached Mandoria woke up from unknowingly falling asleep on Edel's back, he stretched and saw the compound in the distance, smiling and saying to Anglo, "After weeks of avoiding settlements, it's nice to see one and not be afraid of being caught."


N:   "Well, I hope you will feel right at home," Anglo smiled, and when they approached the gates, the guards opened them to let them in, the carriages forming a semicircle as they entered. Once they stopped, Anglo stepped off the carriage, opening the doors to check on everyone. The people were sleeping, so the country gently shook them awake, "we have arrived," he told them, and he took a step back, "Welcome to Windsor Castle."

"Far better than London," Saxon added, "that city is a mess." Anglo nodded in agreement, allowing time for the people to step out.

"Your horses will be taken care of," he said, "as well as the carts and your belongings, just follow Saxon here and he will take you to the guest wing."


M:   The Mandorians all did as told and followed Saxon inside, though they weren't able to get very far in before Edel picked up on a scent, stopping and loudly sniffing the air. Before anyone could do anything the dragon was already walking away, following the scent like a bloodhound.
