The journey to Thandor was significantly faster than most of the trips Darion had made since arriving in this world.
Part of that was because they weren't dragging knights on foot behind them or moving together with animals or using weak horses.
It was just Darion, Garren, three knights and fast horses chosen personally by Wulfric.
The undead wild wolf also played a part, the original one Darion had revived when they went to hunt the Bogarts.
The massive creature moved through the wilderness beside them like something unnatural born from the darker parts of the world itself. Even after using it several times already, Darion still felt proud of what it could do.
Its body was huge enough to make normal wolves look small beside it. Blackened fur covered its form in rough patches while its glowing eyes scanned the forest constantly during the ride.
The first part of the journey followed a route Garren described as "less safe but much faster."
