Chapter 21: Chapter 20: journey begins
As they journeyed through the rugged terrain, Vladimir couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that he had made a pact with a powerful being, one that could easily turn on him at any moment.
Valtor noticed the look on Vladimir's face and spoke up. "Do not worry, my friend. I may be a demon, but I have my own code of honor. I will not betray you as long as you keep your end of the bargain."
Vladimir nodded, still feeling a sense of dread deep in his gut. But he knew that he had no other choice. The fate of the world rested on his shoulders, and he would do whatever it takes to save it.

As Vladimir and Valtor travelled on horseback, they were suddenly ambushed by a group of bandits. The bandits, armed with swords and bows, surrounded them and demanded that they hand over their valuables.
Vladimir tensed, his hand going to his own sword. He had faced bandits before, but he had never been outnumbered like this. Valtor, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by the ambush.
"Hand over your goods, or we'll take them by force," one of the bandits growled.
Valtor merely smiled. "Is that so? I'm afraid we cannot allow that."
Before the bandits could react, Valtor drew a sword from his sheath and charged forward, his horse galloping at full speed. Vladimir followed suit, drawing his own sword and charging into the fray.
The bandits were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and many of them fell quickly to the blades of Valtor and Vladimir. The remaining bandits, realizing that they were outmatched, turned and fled into the nearby woods.
Vladimir and Valtor stood victorious, breathing heavily and covered in sweat. They had fought well together, but Vladimir couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
"Who were those bandits?" he asked Valtor.
Valtor shrugged. "Just some small-time thugs, I imagine. They're always looking for an easy target."
Vladimir nodded, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the attack than just a random ambush. He resolved to keep a closer eye out for any signs of danger on their journey.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months as Vladimir and Valtor traveled through treacherous mountains, dark forests, and scorching deserts. They faced countless dangers, from ferocious beasts to treacherous bandits.
But despite the hardships, Vladimir felt himself growing stronger with each passing day. He learned new spells and techniques from Valtor, and he also learned to rely on his own instincts and wits.
As they approached their final destination, a towering citadel nestled in the heart of a dark, foreboding swamp, Vladimir felt a sense of fear and anticipation. He knew that this was where the final battle would take place, where he would face off against the ultimate evil.
With a deep breath, Vladimir stepped forward, ready to face his destiny head-on
