Chapter 334 - Settling Things
Janice's idea had been to strap herself to Ren's back and ride on Princess behind him. Ren had considered it a crazy idea at first, then he laughed and asked Princess about it.
I won't have the extra weight or off-center balance of the cart to haul. Princess thought to him. I will try it.
They got situated and sat on Princess' back, and Ren took out the wand and cast Haste on her. Princess, invigorated by the spell and the loss of the cart's drag, took off at her best speed without any warm-up whatsoever. Ren had expected Janice to scream in his ear, and when she didn't, he glanced over his shoulder at her.
“This isn't so bad.” Janice said through squinted eyes. “I'm not being shaken nearly as much as I was on the cart.”
Ren smiled and handed her a gold helm. She looked at it and then at him.
“What's this?”
“Helm of the Eagle.” Ren said. “It'll block the wind from your eyes and give you the Spot ability.”
“You're giving this to me?” Janice asked, surprised. She could see the golden eagle head on the top, with the wings wrapped down and around the eye holes. The back of the eagle was the top of the helm and the tail stuck out the back and flared out wide.
“I'm loaning it to you.” Ren said.
“But... when I equip it, it resizes for me.”
“I'll just remake it when you give it back.”
“Why waste the time doing that?” Janice asked. “I can take a little wind.”
“Just put it on.” Ren said, and Janice equipped it.
“Wow.” Janice said when she got the popup for it.
