247 CCXLVII. The Hidden Scar

Waiting for Dag and his companions there was Frank, standing on the dock with his arms pointed forward, ready to grab the ropes for docking.

Karl threw them at him, who slowly and with tricks of the trade pulled the berry to the mainland, blocking it with his foot before its edges could touch the stone of the pier.

"Hahaha! You did it! And my little girl is safe and sound!" he exclaimed with joy, referring to the boat. 

"Yeah! It only took us a few hours longer than expected..." Dag chuckled, getting off the boat and thanking Frank, who led him and his companions to the horses.

"Wow, it's beautiful!" exclaimed Freydis enthused, stroking Aslan's snout, happy to meet him.

"His name is Aslan, he's a really brave steed! Come on, jump on him!" replied Dag, inviting his girlfriend to ride the horse.
