The sky started to get darker as the five companions continued riding; they did not run into any guards belonging to the king. They had at least a 4-5 hour head start. Their breaks consisted of 15-minute intervals, enough time for them to stretch their limbs, eat and drink. Evanna kept her word; although her body was tired from the continuous horse riding, she did not complain and never asked for a break.
She knew they considered her to be weaker than the others. This was her first time travelling for long hours by horseback and not sitting in a carriage. Axel was the one to suggest a break every three hours. She was not annoyed by their lack of judgement, she was feeling tired, but her determination pushed the aches she felt to the back of her mind. She would prove to them that this was not some vacation she decided to take and was serious.
