They mounted on Sand Walkers and saddled up. The beasts made a weird shrieking noise when Zero pulled on the reins and almost fell off the creature when they straightened up, standing on their strong hind legs. These mounts were going to be uncomfortable to ride on and Zero just knew it. After all, they were very different from horses and could hop very high.
The group of people seeing them off was impressive. Dorgon stood at the front line, holding the reins of the beats steady while they climbed onto the sand walkers. Princess Dorothy stood at the back and watched her teacher leave. She was composed in the eyes of others but Zero knew better. The princess would have cried if she wasn't playing the role of a reliable princess.
"This is where we part for now," the guild master nodded and wished them both luck.
