“See you later, Angra”, Rider said with a smile, before turning around and walking out of the castle.
Hmm, now, where was that apartment again? Rider thought.
She stood there for a moment, wondering which way to go. She knew the general direction, but without visual cues she didn't think she'd be able to find it exactly.
Well, then, I guess I just need to get airbourne, she thought.
Whilst summoning her Pegasus was not that large a drain on her prana supply, when she'd had no source of prana she could not afford to waste even a tiny amount without necessity. Now, though, Satoshi had filled her up, and if she needed any more she knew he would quite happily provide it, so there was no need for her to be quite so frugal with her supply.
Therefore, she summoned up her weapons and, after changing into her battle outfit to avoid damaging her clothes, she used the nail to cut her own throat. There was a bright flash and, then, in front of her, appeared her beloved mount.
“Good boy”, she said, softly, stroking the horse's mane whilst she changed back into her casual clothes.
Then, she climbed on his back and, after giving him another gentle pat, gave the signal to take off, lifting her into the air high above the castle.
She looked in the direction she knew the safe-house was and, after a moment of searching, found what she was looking for.
“OK, let's get going”, she said, softly, directing Pegasus to fly towards Forest's home.
