He started to weep as he slowly pulled something from out of his jacket pocket and opened it. Those in front, including Applejack, gasped upon seeing what it was. A ring. A beautiful rose shaped diamond ring.
 
“I saved… so much for this… and it was all a waste…” he muttered as he walked over to the casket and stared at the mare he loved so much. Even though he wasn’t at the mike, the church was quiet enough now so that all could hear him. “I want you to have this, Roseluck… so that while I can’t give this to you in this life… I can give it to you in the next…” He placed the ring in the casket and slowly lowered himself to kiss her on the forehead. “I love you Roseluck Flower. And I hope you will wait for me.”
 
He sniffed and walked away, silent and in tears.
 
It’s been a while since I worked on this series, and the last time I did so it was with a rather gory entry. I think there won’t be that much blood from now on, if only for the sake of keeping it somewhat realistic. I like the way the background came out in this one. Originally it was going to be a lot more simple, conceptual even, but I think a more solid setting would amplify the atmosphere of the whole scene. I like drawing details, they are a way to describe the world the characters live in.
 
I hope you all enjoy this one (despite how sad it is). Please let me know what you think of it in the comments. Thank you!
