The sun was high as the crew rode lazily through the canyon, heading back toward their camp.
Vuvi, Veena, and their new companion Raikya lounged atop the plush, oversized mattress floating a few feet above the ground, courtesy of Zora's "Deluxe Cloud Ride" spell. The enchantment shimmered faintly with each bounce, gently rocking like a cushioned boat on water.
Pip beeped happily as he bounced along on the back of a large frostmane hound, Penelo clinging to him like a fluffy backpack and occasionally dozing off. Lula rode another hound, giggling as the beast leapt over boulders with powerful bounds, her curls bouncing like excited flames. Sera, still trying to appear stoic, couldn't fully hide the grin on her face as she leaned low over her hound's back, enjoying the thrill of the ride.
Even the frostmane hounds seemed pleased, tails swishing in sync.
