Heading North

(Changed the title—the lack of parallelism killed me every time I read it) (Indefinite hiatus because even I don't know where the hell I'm going with it) In a world very much but not quite like ours, the fourth Princess of the Eastern Kingdom, a massive empire spanning the entirety of the Eastern Continent, was sent to "command" a distant military base in the South-Central Rain Forest. One botched kidnapping later, she and one of her kidnappers—a young, lazy special forces operative of the New Republic—find themselves stranded, forced to work together to survive. As they go, however, they gather that all is not as it seems, quickly realizing that they are far more stranded than they thought.
