The sleigh came to a stop on solid ground. There was no snow-covered grounds around them, only dirt.
"Have we arrived?" Lycster asked as he looked around. His eyes took a while to adjust, but he was eager to see what his surroundings looked like.
Vy looked around and sniffed the air.
"We've arrived," she muttered as she stepped off the sleigh and helped Lycster off.
Shin stepped off the sleigh after Lycster. He turned back around and thanked the Flakes for their assistance with a bow. A cool wintery breeze blew past them as if to reciprocate his words of thanks before the sleigh began to move on its own.
