Gina eventually had to stop playing with the Pegasus so they could leave, and she entered the carriage with Jason and Stella before the Pegasus took off into the sky. As they flew, Jason wondered how the carriage was moving so smoothly. Azrael explained that the bottom of the carriage had been engraved with wind-based runes that allowed it to float gently behind the flying Pegasus. The Pegasus were simply pulling it forward through the air. It was a very smooth ride as the Pegasus flew them back towards the royal castle! As they approached the castle, Jason noticed an entire crowd of people standing outside the large building and cheering! There must have been at least two thousand elves gathered on the ground, and Jason could see even more of them in the trees! It was obvious that they had all come there to greet Gina and thank her for what she did, and Jason could almost feel Gina's nervousness when she saw the sheer numbers that had gathered.
