Half an hour later, the party reassembled.
Bound by thick ropes, over twenty mammoths reluctantly trudged forward, herded by the Knights.
Their massive bodies looked like small, moving hills in the darkness of the night.
The journey back to Black Stone Castle with these giant beasts was slow but without incident.
At dawn, the silhouette of Black Stone Castle finally appeared.
Raylo only breathed a sigh of relief after the Mammoth Herd was temporarily placed in a pre-planned open area outside the castle, further secured by solid wooden fences and a ditch.
These untamed Tier Three Magical Beasts would cause catastrophic destruction if they went berserk inside the castle.
He instructed Ed to arrange for strict supervision, had Bolin see to the rest and provisions for the Knights from Amber Territory, and then returned to the castle with Lillian.
Lillian had been excited the whole way, but she was now a bit tired and was attended to by a handmaiden to go rest.
