SWOSH! Arad transformed into his draconic form and laid down so Aella and Jack could strap the saddles on the back of his neck.
Mira walked out of the house with two wooden chairs stacked, "Use those," She smiled, looking at Jack and Aella.
The two slowly strapped the saddles on Arad's back, making sure to tighten everything so they won't fall. This won't be a short trip, and they would spend the better part of the day on Arad's back
"I finished here," Jack waved his hand, "The straps were a bit too long, so I cut them down," He handed Aella his dagger, "Cut them on your end as well."
As Jack and Aella strapped Arad, Lydia went through everything that they might need, counting and making sure they stored it safely in Arad's stomach.
"Everything is ready," Lydia looked at Arad, lifting a thumb. Jack and Aella responded the same way. "He's all strapped down," Jack smiled.
