The path to the Larimarian castle was long, but Wonder was quite fine with it. It was a lot more flat and easier to transverse than the forest he had lived in since birth. Him and his family, guided by a couple of soldiers, trekked the roads and finally made it to the castle. Or, outside it at least. A long line of people waited outside, some as old as Echo, some as old as two. Families crowded the gates, waiting. 

“Now, you all know what to do.” Said a soldier at the head of the crowd, standing on a makeshift stage. “All of you will wait your turn in a line. Each will be seen by the Oracle and General Raymond. Once they have found the boy they are looking for, you may all go home. Be civilized, and no fighting. Us soldiers are ordered to stop any fights by any means necessary.” A shiver rippled through the sea of people. 

Wonder couldn't help but bounce in excitement. He would get to go into a castle and see the Oracle, the only other person who was like him.
