Leaving the Kingdom by horseback early in the morning, the current ruler of Voathiel and her champion traveled to the Kingdom of Valora. Thiewia knew her Kingdom was safe in her absence, it had been safe for years. What armies could brave the swamps with all of their equipment and attack the fortified city? Thiewia had been told about these dangerous new flying contraptions, and it was true, her city was in danger while they were around... But why would it be attacked today? Her people have done nothing to spark a war with another kingdom, and what was there to gain from the swamps and jungles around Voathiel? Yes Thiewia was quite certain her city was safe while she was away.<br/><br/>As for her thoughts on Lady Veronica? She was a little girl locked up in a walled city. She does not know the struggles of life outside her giant walls, she does not know the choices Thiewia had to make everyday to save her city. No the ruler of the Valora, and pretty much everything else should be her! Thiewia would scope her rivals today, while keeping her intentions to herself.<br/><br/>As for Kali? She was far more alert and concerned. Why would Thiewia travel to Valore without a proper amount of guards, why would Thiewia trust her life with her? There were so many dangers around Voathiel Kali had a hard time keeping track of all of them. And even then, their trip would take them close to Khazik, Kali never had any thoughts about them planning anything, but she remained alert just the same, Voathiel would surely crumble without Thiewia's leadership. But even taking everything in account, Thiewia trusted her, the naga knew the lizard would gladly lay down her life for the only naga that had the blood to lead Voathiel. Kali dedicated her life to the Kingdom of Thiewia, and to its ruler. Thiewia was a god to her, and she would follow her to whatever end.<br/><br/>Due to the speed of horses, distance to Valora, and the treturous landscape around their homeland, Thiewia the VIII would arrive at the court of Valora later in the day.
