Chapter 11: Rest and Relaxation

The tension of their recent battle still lingered in the air as James, Pippy, Cherry, and Eryndra made their way back through the outskirts of the Dragon Kingdom, the oppressive weight of the Draugr dungeon far behind them. The sun hung low in the sky, casting long golden shadows over the landscape, its warm light a stark contrast to the cold, dark depths of the dungeon they had just escaped. As they walked, the atmosphere slowly shifted from tense and quiet to one of relief and quiet contemplation.

Pippy bounced along beside James, her energy seemingly endless, as she recounted the most exciting parts of the battle with a grin. "Did you see that skeleton go flying when I hit it? Talk about satisfying! I think I set a personal record."

James chuckled, the weariness in his body starting to melt away as Pippy's infectious enthusiasm filled the air. "You definitely showed those Draugr who's boss."
