Chapter Thirty-Three: Eternal

Days passed, and Bakugou's group strayed further and further away from the Fairies' Colony. Though there weren't many left, the fairies and mermaids provided valuable information that no one knew, and in the end, it was possible to cure them all.

Additionally, the sorcerer's own split groups were drawing closer and closer to the castle town. The lively city continued without it's youngest prince, but the sorcerer didn't mind the prince. He didn't mind anything. Everything was going to plan.

Ostus stood tall, watching over the peaceful night...

The day has come. Todoroki knew this was going to happen soon, but he didn't expect for it to be this close. He woke up that morning, wishing for nothing more than another day of journeying through the verdant trees and sunburnt paths. But he instantly remembered their destination. He instantly remembered the castle, the knights, the king...

He had to leave the camp in the morning to vomit in some bushes. He only groaned at that action, thinking to himself, 'Some prince I am.'

The group traveled on the path to the castle town, their topics discursive, going from the city to the plan and every way around. Anything could happen in that short amount of time. The plan could go successfully, or Todoroki and Iida could be caught while sneaking in the castle, or maybe Bakugou's true identity as the prince of the rivaling kingdom would be discovered. So much could go wrong...

But it could also go perfectly...

Todoroki prayed to the gods that it would.

The area around the castle town was lively, with traveling merchants and adventurers that told amazing stories of the town inside. They spoke of the immense size of the city, the endless attractions, the astounding shops. Many also spoke of the missing prince and absence of the king. So far, no one found the group suspicious.

Morning grew into noon, and the sun rose a little further over the fields. Less and less animals strolled through. When the group stopped their conversation, they could hear the castle town's lively streets.

Through the entire path, Todoroki couldn't control his nerves. He remembered the day when he met Midoriya, the first person who didn't realize who he was. He remembered the deal he made with the swordsman: safety and protection from his father in exchange for elemental magic.

He took a deep breath, tugging on the reigns of his treasured horse. All he had to do was sneak into the castle he escaped from with his friend, trap elemental magic in a plant, flee the castle (again), and stay hidden in the city. It would be easy, right?

"Todoroki..."

The prince blinked, breaking himself of his thoughts. He turned his head to see Iida looking at him with the same, caring eyes."We made a plan. We'll be ok."

Todoroki tugged the hood on his cloak to hide his face. "How do you know?"

"Because we've devised a plan!" Iida stated. "We spent the last couple of days discussing everything that could happen and created a counter to it. We'll be able to do it, even if it doesn't seem like it..."
