It's time. It's finally time to go home. Ingress and Megwyn stand in front of an old stone wall some ways from the main road to Haven. The wall is screened by trees, thus making Tom and Door's sudden appearance less noticeable for anyone who might be passing by.
Ingress shifts impatiently from one foot to another. Since the incident in the woods, she's been counting the minutes to go home. She stayed in bed with a sick tummy the rest of that miserable day, but she made herself get up and go about the last full day of her visit. As she passed by people, said goodbye, and did her chores, she wondered what they really thought of her. Did the big kids in their gray uniforms think her strange and wrong? Did the other Companions? She knew Megwyn didn't, but how could she be sure of anything? She thought everyone liked her.
Finally two figures appear in front of the stones, stepping from the world of her birth to the world chosen for her future.
