Actually the beast wasn't a dragon, only a lesser one called a wyvern. Those are far weaker than regular dragons and can be tamed by humans to become a method of transportation. With the wyvern the travel would take us only around half a day instead of a week by foot.
To my surprise the ride in the cabin felt quite comfortable. If I hadn't known, I wouldn't have been able to tell that I'm up high in the sky traveling at a fast speed. Apparently, celestial energy could be used in many ways which we hadn't heard or thought of before. We had seen the alarm and the artefact so far, not to talk of the many different kind of weapons. But an object as big as this cabin was something new and surely needed a load of celestial energy.
