Getting ready for the journey

"Ugh, this dress is too small!" Nora exclaimed in dismay, standing resolutely behind the ornate carriage, begrudgingly adorning her tattered attire from the days of her imprisonment. 

Beside the grand carriage, a majestic griffin, a magnificent gift bestowed upon them by Valerie, peacefully reclined, its magnificent wings folded neatly against its majestic frame. 

Lilith, her carefree presence, found solace atop the creature, embracing its warmth as the sun's gentle rays cascaded upon her countenance.

As Nora caught a whiff of the stale odor emanating from her worn clothing, her countenance shifted abruptly, her gaze fixating on Lilith as she ventured to inquire, "Lilith, do you know where Ethan is?" Her voice echoed with a hint of concern, resonating amidst the tranquil surroundings.

Lilith, her eyes softly closed, basked in the sunlight, the radiant glow accentuating her ethereal beauty.
