Two hours. That is how long the group traveled the misty rainforest district. And they all spent it riding their horses and talking for a few minimal minutes.

The whole time the males were conversing with one another, Lisa only kept her mouth tightly sealed and her head bowed down. For they're conversation was containing something Lisa is overly sensitive about.

It is about doing the illicit act called stealing.

They were all talking about it, like it was some normal and random thing people usually do everyday. They were all exclaiming that they cannot wait any longer, how much fun and thrill this is going to be and a bunch of other stuff. And it was honestly making Lisa wish she was deaf rather than hearing this.

"Hyung, how much farther? I can't wait no more." Youngjae whined, and it made Lisa roll her hazel orbs.

"Can't wait either." She sardonically mumbled for the lad to not hear.

"What was that?" Youngjae cluelessly asked the girl, yet she shrugged it off. "It's nothing. Nothing at all." She replied and brought her horse to walk alongside Jaebum's.

Peeking at the maiden who's face was excessively scrunched and sour, he inquired,"What's up?"

For the second time this day, Lisa rolled her eyes in absolute irritation. "I'll tell you what's up. It is just your dear members casually talking about this like it is some common thing you do in your every day life. Well, news flash, and in reality, it isn't." She ranted, extremely exasperated.

Countering back, he lowly responded. "It kinda is for us." That made Lisa's lips pursed

The atmosphere both were on was now quiet and awkward. And neither of them wants to break it. Probably because what he said was deep and true, no matter how awful and hideous that fact can be, they are thieves, and that has been there world.

The ambiance proceeded the whole time they were together. Not until Bambam, decided to shout so loudly.

"Guys, look! I can see it already!" He excitedly whooped, pointing something in a far distance.

"We're here." Upon hearing Jaebum's words, Lisa looked from afar to see as to what they were referring at.

And a surprised expression clouded her feature at what she saw.

The splendid and potent Kingdom of Cyria.

Chuckling at the girl's astonished state, Jaebum asked the dazed Lisa.
"So, what do you think?" Not averting her eyes from the view she was admiring, she murmured back, "It's so...beautiful."

"Wait till' we get inside." He breathed out, before going up in front.

"Open the gates!"

A man who was wearing a blue uniform, declared to his fellowman. Nodding, another one of the guards pulled a lever, making the metal gates slide open.

Looking at the eight riders, he announced. "The gates close at sunset. So I remind you all to be here before it closes."

Bobbing his head in understanding, he agreed. "Thanks for the heads up. We'll be sure to be here an hour in advance." And the group continues beyond the heavily guarded walls.

Looking back, Jackson huffed a breath. "Jeez. Are all guards here uptight?" He beckoned, pertaining to the dozen of guard at the gates.
