pursuing her [gaston legume] [on pause]

I X

Hours passed and the four adventurers couldn't find any human civilization at all, just a large never ending forest full of wild creatures.

"I think that we should stop right here and get some rest," Marie suggested while stoping Augustus. "I agree with you," said Gaston and Lorenzo in sync. They exchanged murderous glares and LeFou just stared at them in hope that Gaston could win the stare-off, which he did.

Gaston chuckled lightly at his victory as they all were getting everything needed to create a fire. The war hero gathered some nearby branches and placed them in a pile. He grabbed two branches and tried to start the fire, in which he miserably failed.

"Let me try," Lorenzo suggested, reaching out for branches. Gaston grabbed all of them before he could get a hand on one and said, "How do you think I survived in the war? I obviously built the fire for my army." He tried again, but he kept failing.

LeFou found it amusing and started to laugh uncontrollably, earning a bad glare from Gaston. He stopped laughing, which he found as a hard task.

Gaston stood up and threw the branches harshly on the floor, "Go, give it a try," said Gaston to Lorenzo, believing that he would fail just as bad as him.

Lorenzo nodded quietly and rubbed the branches together, creating the warm fire. He then placed the branches carefully and started to blow on the fire, in hope to get the fire to grow larger.

Gaston growled at Lorenzo as he sat down on a rotten log, besides Marie. He crossed his arms like an upset little kid and just stared at the fire.

Marie wasn't impressed that his old friend would make the fire, since he always hunted with his father as a kid, but she felt bad for Gaston's bad skill.

They soon drifted off to sleep, wanting to forget the unpleasant situation, but it was a fail to Gaston.

Was this nobody was better that him? Obviously not, but he wanted Marie to believe that.

The next day, everyone woke up, except Gaston. His loud snores disturbed everyone in the night, and they grew larger as the sun started to peek through, making Marie, LeFou, and Lorenzo to wake up.

"Gaston, wake up," LeFou said to Gaston, as he was poking him with a sharp twig. Gaston shot up from his sleeping position and looked around. He saw Marie giggling at something that the annoying Lorenzo had said.

He got infuriated and walked over, placing a hand on Marie's shoulder, "Are we leaving or not?" Lorenzo looked annoyingly at him but quickly wiped it out of his face when Marie said, "Oh! Of course."

Gaston smiled, he was satisfied enough to continue this long quest.

It was now LeFou's turn to ride his horse besides Marie, following Gaston's rules. Gaston and Lorenzo were behind, casually glaring daggers at each other.

"I think I see something in the distance," spoke up Marie, breaking the uncomfortable silence that was kept for a long time.

The four of them tried to recognize what was in front of them. Until Lorenzo said, "I believe it is a castle." Gaston looked over his shoulder to see the newcomer and said, "Yeah, I was about to say that, that means a village may be nearby."

(Had to use Hogwarts 😏)

They decided to speed up their pace, to closer to the village next to the castle. Gaston was right, there was a beautiful village besides the large castle.

They entered the large gates of the protected village, they saw something that caught their eye, a large crowd of people who were trying to reach someone inside the large swarm of village people.

They first headed off to the stable near the entrance, dropped of their horses, and walked over towards the crowd.

The crowd soon turned silent and started to separate into two parts. There was a man, in royal clothing, who walked over to the four visitors.

She slowly placed her hand on his, he then lightly kissed her knuckles, making Gaston and Lorenzo clenching their fists until their knuckles turned white.

"And who would this visitors be?" The man said looking over to the three men as he stood up.
