Orak...*days later at Old Orchard Beach, by the Lighthouse, on a rainy day*
Orak...
Yes?
Kyra
used to come here a lot, didn't she?
This is
where we found her. I figured we'd bury her here. No tombstone,
just a memory.
*looks
at the lighthouse beacon* The beacon is lit. Why?
Ceremonial
reasons darling.
*walks up
to Orakio, placing a hand on his shoulder* You alright bro?
I'm
doing alright.
We'll get
Anja for this. She cost me a niece and two sisters. We'll get
her.
Speaking
of which... where is Rulakir?
*sighs*
He hasn't returned yet? I only imagine...
No...
not Anja. She couldn't have. He's too powerful.
*walks over
to Orakio* Orakio... listen... as soon as the services end, we
need to head back to the Air Castle.
I know
Rhys. And please, call me dad.
*sighs* I
can't. Forgive me.
That's
fine.
Raja's
arrived. It's about to start.
*walks up to
the front of the lighthouse, looking at all in attendance* Looks
like few have shown up.
*runs in*
Sorry I'm late!
As
usual.
Kyra was an
interesting person. Quiet at times, but very intelligent... much
like her mother to be. She came to us from a time in which there
was much pain and suffering in order for us to stop that from
happening, and in the end gave her own life so that our future
may be secure. Kyra... half Orakian... quarter Human... quarter
Dragon... all heart.
*starts
crying aloud*
*wraps
his arms around her, weeping a bit himself*
Are there
any words that would like to be shared?
*looks
at Chrissy, then to Raja* I have something to say.
Go ahead.
Kyra
was a kind spirit who was never afraid to help anybody in need
out. *looks at Chrissy* In many ways, she was a lot like her
future mother, whom she sacrificed her life to protect. *looks at
the lit lighthouse beacon* Kyra came to this lighthouse many
times. In a way though, like this beacon, Kyra was the light in
which we were in the dark. Had she not shown up, we still would
not have been able to detect what NEU was planning. And... our
future, would have been just as she saw. To give up her own life
just to see it changed... that's the mark of a true hero. *bows
on one knee* A hero that I would like to become someday. *pauses*
Kyra... I know you're listening. With every ounce of strength I
have, I'll avenge your death and make the future a safe place for
everybody. I swear it.
