Akasha put on some walking shoes as Michael looked on. "Those look comfortable." he said.

"Do you have any?" Akasha asked.

"I do, I'm about to lace them up right now." Michael replied as he bent down and tied his shoelaces. "We're definitely ready to go now."

"Yes, we are." Akasha said as she stood up and nodded. "Do you have the sword?"

"Yep, right on my back. Let's go." Michael replied as he adjusted the strap on the case and headed towards the door. Akasha grabbed her shawl and draped it over her shoulders and put the bag over them as well. Michael led the way as they walked out of the front door.

"Be safe! I love you both!" Nerezza called from a window. They turned around to see her and Draven waving. Akasha smiled and waved back, and Michael watched as they soon disappeared.

"So, how exactly do we determine which direction to go in?" Michael asked.

"It's pretty simple actually." Akasha replied, pulling her phone out, and Michael slapped his forehead.

"Why did I think you were going to pull out a scroll?" he said, bursting out laughing.

"I'm not that ancient Michael.." she said, shaking her head as she input an address into her phone. "We have phones like you humans up there."

"Interesting." Michael said, and Akasha pointed in a direction.

"This way." she said, and started walking. Michael followed behind her, holding onto the sword case so it wouldn't swing back and forth.

"How far away did it say Blackwin's castle was?" he asked.

"Five hundred miles." Akasha said as they walked along the side of the road. "If we keep walking at the rate we are right now, we should be able to reach it in about 7 days."

"7 days?? Wouldn't make sense to just drive to the castle?" Michael asked.

"Michael," Akasha said, stopping to turn around and face Michael. "Getting to the castle is not simple. This is a journey that can only be achieved by getting there on foot. You need to trust me, I know what I'm doing."

Michael shook his head. "You're right, I'm sorry." he said.

"It's fine, you definitely are not used to walking everywhere are you?" she asked.

Michael chuckled. "No, we just drive and waste gas every day." he said.

"Well, we definitely are not wasteful like you." Akasha said as she started walking again.

"I'll take your word for it." Michael said as he followed her lead.

"So, tell me about yourself." Akasha asked as they proceeded walking.

"Wait, you don't know who I am?"

"I mean, I know that you're a famous pop star, but I don't know who you are." She said as she looked his way, then back in front of her as she moved out the way of others walking past them.
