Chapter 15

After getting a little more sleep than usual, the group packed up and headed for Port Ludenberg. It was too far away to make it in a single day but easily reachable in two days, so they took their time as they traveled.

The next piece of armor they would search for was the Helmet of Salvation. It was rumored to be in the western mountains of the Great Divide. Nobody in the group had traveled that area, so they needed to get more information. Mat knew that his Gitano friends were planning to go to Port Ludenberg, and he hoped that they would be able to help.

That first day of travel was very enjoyable for both Mat and Persephonie. It was a sunny winter day and they spent most of the day talking about their lives growing up. For him, it was wonderful to have someone close to his own age to talk to who was not interested in using him for political advantage. For her, it was really nice to have companionship after basically being on her own for the last year. It was even nicer to finally get to know the young man at the center of the prophecies she had been studying for the last three years.

“So what can you tell me about being a Druid?” Mat asked when Persephonie told him about joining the order when she was 12.

“Well, there is much more to it than I can describe right now,” she replied, “but there are two main things about Druids you should know. First, we are dedicated to gathering and preserving knowledge. Our library is believed to be the most complete collection of knowledge in the world, and we are constantly traveling the world to gather more. I haven’t really focused on anything other than Solandeus and the prophecies around the Armor of God, so I can’t tell you much, but I can tell you that the world is much larger than the any of the maps you have probably seen.”

“There is a map back home that shows both the Great Northern Kingdom and Solandeus,” Mat said. “It shows that our neighbor to the north is at least 20 times larger than Solandeus, and we are surrounded by water on all sides. I have heard of other lands, but have not seen any maps. My brothers probably studied them, but I didn’t.”

“The Great Northern Kingdom is actually small compared to some of the other lands,” she said. “The combined area of Solandeus and the Great Northern Kingdom is called a continent. There are 10 total continents that I know of, and we are on one of the smaller continents. Other than seeing the maps, I really don’t know much else about these other lands.”

“I would love to learn more about these lands,” Mat said. “Maybe you can show me these maps someday.”

“If I am ever let back into the Druid Archives, I can show you,” Persephonie replied.

“So what is the other part of being a Druid?” Mat asked.
