<span style="color: #00FF00">“Got it.”  </span><br/><br/>Motto’s reply was tense.  He didn’t like this plan.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://i.imgur.com/xEbzBaz.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">“Jin went ahead to speak to ..Door.  Bor.  Four..whoever.”  </span>He spoke in a low voice while constantly scanning their surroundings.<span style="color: #00FF00">“The power should be fifty kilometers to the North or something, past a swampy area… wait.  F*ck..well..anyway.. yeah.” </span>The Prince shook his head in an attempt to get a fresh mindset.  He messed up and told her about the swamp but it was too complicated and Isabella was in serious danger here.  Motto lead the way into a thick patch of vegetation.  He did his best to scout ahead for signs of danger while keeping a discreet eye on the Princess.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #00FF00">  ‘Jin..I know you’re loyal to her more than I can understand, but for reals dude, I don’t know if I’m strong enough to keep her safe here.’</span></span>Motto was deeply resolved to the task but his thoughts quaked.  As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he was a bit of screw up and this girl’s actual life was in his hands.  Even though he might not make it, Motto couldn’t shake the image of the Princess under her father’s spell.  His pace picked up a little.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #00FF00">  ‘Is there a way to get stronger?  You know..level up or whatever?’  </span></span>Motto privately assured his magical companion that he’d sacrifice whatever was needed.  For the first time in his life, the Elemental felt like he had an actual duty.  If this was his reason for inheriting the flowing forces of nature, than it was go time, d*mmit.
