Aiden: Right well lead the way.
"Will took them in the right direction".

About one hour later-
Brandon: I see a town ahead with what seems to be a port. Is that Kholodnoye?
Will: Let's see.
"he has a look and shakes his head".
Will: No, that's Trollesund. I dunno how, but we seem to have passed our first destination. But this is good, because it cuts down our travel time.

Aiden: Wait, how do we miss the place we are lookign for? Let alone go past it?

"Will checks his compass"
Will: It seems we were heading south, not north. We've been heading in the wrong direction. But then again, we were going to get a boat to here, remember? This has saved us plenty of time.

Aiden: Righ, well lets just continue on. I'm eager for some conflict i guess.

Brandon: As am I, my friend.
"He flexes his shoulders and makes sure his bow and sword are secure".
Brandon: Let's go, then.
"The man from the palace, Lord Asriel, walks over to them with his snow leopard daemon".
Asriel: Ah, you must be Will.
Will: A pleasure to finally meet you, milord.
Asriel: Who are these two?
Brandon: My name's Brandon and this is my friend Aiden. Nice to meet you.
Will: We're going to rescue your daughter from her mother, sire.
Asriel: I shall accompany you.
Will: Thank you for the offer, but no, sir. We are meeting a friend of mine in Trollesund and we already have enough people.
Asriel: Fine. I shall see you again, and soon.
"Asriel walks off".
Brandon: Who...
Will: Lord Asriel. A great and powerful man in this world. And Lyra's father.

Aiden: Right, once this all comes together i'll understand it all.

Brandon: Not the only one. I don't understand a bit of what is going on.

Aiden: Well we just follow and then it'll all make sense.

Brandon: Hopefully.
Will: Let's go.
"They walk down to Trollesund and find it is deserted".
Will: Oh, crap.

Aiden: Well another thing which confuses me, explain this one Will.

Will: If this place is deserted, then my friend is either dead, or captured, or still here, but greatly injured.
Brandon: This puts a damper on the plan we had, huh?
Will: Yeah.

Aiden: Well we shouldn't let this hold us back. It means we have more of an adventure!

Brandon: Damn right.
"A boat pulls up to them and armoured bears get off it".
Will: panserborne. Also known as armoured bears.
"One walks up to Will".
Will: Don't hurt us, please.
Bear: I shall not. I understand you are searching for your friend, Lyra.
Will: Indeed I am. You know her?
Bear: Yes. I have great respect for her.
Will: And she has the same for one bear.
Brandon: Aiden, let's go for a bit of a walk, let them talk alone.

Aiden: Good idea.
"Aiden and Brandon strayed off from them walking away".
