Antoinette stops at the edge of the estate, where the walk ends and the road begins. I halt Aires and turn to her.

"Gods guide you, My Lord," she says. "I shall do as you have instructed and await your return." There is sadness in her voice.

"I'll be back before you know it, Antoinette. Take care of Regina for me." I give her a small smile.

"I will, My Lord!" She stands straight and bows her head.

She watches us ride off into the distance.

After several minutes, something catches my eye. I look up to see an apple floating down on a handkerchief parachute, held on with toothpicks. It floats down directly into my path and I catch it, smiling. I look up and wave.

The tiny silhouette of Aegis, far up in the sky, wheels around and heads back to the estate. I chuckle as I divide it into two with my knife, tossing half onto the road for Aires, who snuffles it up as we continue.
