Epilogue
Most of the castle was empty, but the lively sounds of a waltz drifted through the stone walls. Aislinn followed the joyful sound, an inexplicable lightness in her heart, a feeling that all was well. The music led her to the ornate doors of the ballroom. For a moment she stood, listening to the music that lilted
Light poured through the open doors and the music filled the hall. The ballroom was empty but for a few couples, none of who Aislinn recognized but one: Maximillion and Cecilia Pegasus, dressing in wedding clothes, flying across the floor. Around them the air shimmered and sparkled with joy and happiness and infinite love, their laughter ringing like bells as they spun and spun in an eternally blissful waltz.
They spotted her, standing at the doorway, and beckoned her to join their company.
Overcome by joy, she picked up her violin and began to play for them with music that held all the joy never allotted them in life.
