Sil's Funeral

[kiakblackthorne]

TearsofProphecy: :: Moving through the gates, her black velvet over coat rustled against her black leather pants. Her boots laced to her knees whinned
as if the leather was a day old. White eyes set on the main room for a moment, hood up so shadows
Isabela Mercedes: Mmmmm...::.smiling she swirls her wine in the goblet, or what's left of it::: Those were the days...
Flaxen Klojhen: ::Wondering if her friends has noticed this as well:::
Isabela Mercedes: But now....::looks to them both :: We have NEW Days..::lifts her goblet ::
TearsofProphecy: bathed her face, a cowl over her paled lips. She was no longer waiting for this, it was rude to keep the mother waiting like this. ::
Flaxen Klojhen: ::Grins and lifts her goblet:: to NEW Days.. I love that idea Isa
Isabela Mercedes: ::sips again the lowers the goblet and laughs ::
Flaxen Klojhen: :She glanced up hearing someone had entered and sits up in her chair more ladylike:::
Ryslynn: ::Sipping from the wine, she then lowers the goblet to nod at
Flaxen's words:: Things have changed, yes.. but we're still here. My own persistence ought to tick off at least a handful of people.. and that, my friends, is a blissful thought. ::Grins::
Flaxen Klojhen: ::Soflty:: Good evening ?
Isabela Mercedes: ::turns to see who has caught Flaxen's attention :::
Flaxen Klojhen: ::chuckles hearing Ryslynn::: Aye..
Isabela Mercedes: ::smiles back to Rhys and nods then looks back to the woman ::
Ryslynn: ::Still smiling faintly, she turns to look as well::
Flaxen Klojhen: :::the shadows still hiding the newcomer, so she does not clearly see who has entered:: She waits for them to move into the light::
TearsofProphecy: Evening Queen Flaxen... but not good. :: Her white eyes reflected the fire and candles brightly. Looking behind her a moment before she moved inside further. :: How appropriate you are here...
Isabela Mercedes: :lifts a brow at the words spoken ::
I Lord Ashram I: Slow footfalls echoed down the halls after entering the castle. He was encased from his neck down in heavy soot black armor and hanging at his left side was that impressive demonic sword which he would use on anyone. Dull gray eyes looked around slightly but said nothing.
Ryslynn: ::Her brow arches, as well::
Flaxen Klojhen: ::She raises from her chair slowly and moves toward the lady:: Good evening to ye Lady Kia.. I have been wondering when you would choose to visit ::She offered a smile:::
Isabela Mercedes: ::she relaxed a bit back into the chair, seeing that Flaxen knew the woman , she watched quietly ::
TearsofProphecy: It's not really a visit. :: Nodding to Ash as she walked through the room to the throne room. :: Excuse me I came here for a reason. :: Stepping inside she took a breath seeing the shroud they had over Sil'toz. Kia buried her emotions for the moment. Before moving over to the dais they had place her on. Tattooed fingers brushing the shroud back as Kia's hand brushed over Sil's cheek gently. It was her little girl and Nicho hadn't yet bothered to bury her properly. :: Ash... :: Kia took another long deep breath::
I Lord Ashram I: He followed Kia saying nothing to anyone. He really had only one purpose tonight and wasn't going to be detoured. He would move up
beside Kia before too long,
TearsofProphecy: :: Kia pulled her hood back and pressed her lips together under the cowl. Looking to Ash, they had dressed her up like a Queen herself.
Kia slipped the tiara off her, and any jewelry placed on her that wasn't something of Sil's religion. Then bundled her up in the shround cradeling her close to her body as Kia always had with Sil. :: Thank you.. :: she looked to
Ash, it was unlike Kia but she looked about to break down into tears. :: Let's go... :: she had a new grave waiting. :: Tell Nicho... he was taking too long. I couldn't wait.. another week. That ... if he wants to pay her respect to come to MY kingdom and see where it's princess Sil is interred. :: Stressing her newly found family in Twin Swords. Kia didn't mean to sound so angry,it was misplaced towards Flaxen but since she was Nicho's mother, Kia was a little bitter. ::
Isabela Mercedes: ::rising from her chair, she nods to those present then turns and makes her way from the room, honoring the grief of those who knew
the child ::
Flaxen Klojhen: ::She went to the site where Sil was.. she kneeled down silently to pay her respects:::Not saying another word, bowing her head in prayer. She glanced up slowly, remaining silent,but expecting as much from this meeting. She simply nodded, then rose to her feet, glancing to Kia and then to Sil:::
Nicho TGM: ::The shadowy figure of a boy, Nicho, in fact, appears beside Flaxen, bowing slightly:: Good evening, all.
Flaxen Klojhen: ::Her gaze then falling upon Ashram, and a respectful nod given before she turned and walked from the room:::
Ryslynn: ::Stepping from the shadows just behind Flaxen, she gently touched her arm, keeping her voice low out of respect:: It is time I retire for the night. ::Her approach had gone unseen.. somehow::
Flaxen Klojhen: ::She hugged her friend warmly:: I will see ye soon Ryslynn
Ryslynn: ::Smiling, she returns the hug just as warmly:: That you will.. like it or not. ::She winked and stepped back:: Good night.
TearsofProphecy: :: Kia looked to Nicho holding the body of Sil wrapped up tightly:: I am burying her in my home land. :: Turning she moved to the door
of throne room making her way into the main room of the castle::
Nicho TGM: ::The ghost nods to Kia, he couldn't prevent her if he wanted, being only an image of self come to reassure his mother of their safety::
Ryslynn: ::Taking a few steps further back, she is claimed by the shadows and vanishes::
I Lord Ashram I: He followed Kia seeing she was going. There didn't seem to be any resistance so he would be leaving with a frown.
RaduntStar: ::Lacey made her way into the castle quietly, without a cane this time... White robes were draped over her lithe form, and had small
handprints of mud upon them..::
TearsofProphecy: :: Making her way back out of the castle. It was the last time she intended on coming here. She just couldn't wait heart broken about
her daughter another day. Making it to her horse she looked to Ash:: Can you... while I mount? :: meaning could he hold her ::
Nicho TGM: ::He watches Kia and Ash for a moment, then fades away back to the ship::
I Lord Ashram I: He held out his arms in understanding. Taking Sil from Kia he waited for her to mount. His eyes looked around watching though nothing would happen.
RaduntStar: ::Pausing a moment, finding no one inside, she would turn and head out.. Silver pupils dialated to take in the light... Silver pools reflected a rainbow of colors as she gazed about in the dark..::
TearsofProphecy: Thank you... :: She mounted carefully and then leaned down to take the body. :: Please come with me.. :: she asked softly. It was a
horrible thing to bury ones one child::
RaduntStar: ::Finding a few suspicious figures in the dark, yet not being able to make them out, she would yell into the darkness::: Who's there??
TearsofProphecy: ::Looking to Ashram she raised a brow:: Is Lacy stalking you? I swear... :: The voice was easily recognizable::
RaduntStar: ... I appreciate the kind words, Lady Kia.. ::Her tone went a bit flat as hands rose to her hips::
I Lord Ashram I: Chuckles quielty finding it funny because that is how it always seemed. He handed Sil to Kia. "I'll come."
RaduntStar: ::Figuring out who it was in the dark, she would find it most fitting to plop down outside, head resting in hands with a sigh.. ::
TearsofProphecy: Thank you... ::She nodded to Lacy once more and then turned her horse:: I am going to Twin Swords... please follow when you can. ::Carefully holding her daughters body on the horse as she began to ride off::

OnlineHost: *** You are in "Arts and Entertainment - TwinSwords Castle". ***
LdyJasmineSutton: Aye but that is for another time I do not wish to upset all present let us enjoy the night together I have council of Belle to hold me until a time when we may speak
Belle of Fools: ::She smiled and released her hug from him, her heart truly was glad. Whatever bad tidings Jasmine had, the presence of Jack always made
her feel better. He was always a cure for her blues.::
Masterofhope22: :he walks beside thalia and looks to her: my love please take Sil so that I may play my flute
The Ace of Fools: ::he nodded:: as you Like
TearsofProphecy: :: Riding up slowly to Twin Swords, she had a bundle in her lap, cradled gently. Her beloved daughter, beloved to Kia, but it seemed not so to those in Goldenmyst. ::
Fae Of Illusions: ::she did fallow along as she more or less landed upon her sister's shoulder to see what was going on::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she glanced to Draco and nodded as she gently retrieved the tiny, beaming visage of Silhouette her own gossamer wings fluttering reminicent of a humingbird's::

[kiakblackthorne]

LdyJasmineSutton: thank thee Fool ::she spoke as she woudl have if the word had been yoru majesty or another of great respect::
The Ace of Fools: ::he inclined his head respectfully:: your quite welcome Lady ..
Masterofhope22: thank you my love :he says as he kisses her cheek and he pulls out his flute and starts playing a sweet soft happy melody as he sits
in the window sill looking out the window to the moon:
Belle of Fools: ::She dipped her hand into the curve of Jack's arm, hugging gently as she heard Draco mention the flute. She considered getting out her
violin, but she was also realizing that the time was passing by and her wish to get the scrolls she was working on to the King as soon as possible was
weighing on her mind.::
Belle of Fools: ::all were now in the main gathering hall::
The Ace of Fools: :: He looked to Belle and flicked one of the Bells upon her hat then glanced up and saw Lady Thalia and smiled:: Helle There Lady Thalia
TearsofProphecy: :: Sitting just outside she called in hoping that Belle was there:: BELLE! :: She just needed to hand Sil'toz to someone so she could dismount since her guard hadn't arrived yet::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she heard the call and she looked at Belle to see if perahs she coudl go in her stead::
The Ace of Fools: ::he blinked and looked at Belle curiously:: your being Called Belle ...
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::her ears perked hearing her name and she turned her luminous features to regard the familiar face of Fool, a bright sanguine smile curling her lips as she bowed:: Well hello there, Fool, my heart singsto see thee, I trust ye rest
Belle of Fools: ::She blinked at the shout and ran, fast as she could, to
the sound of Just Kia's voice. Running outside, she stopped upon seeing Kia
and approached, bells ceasing the major racket as her pace slowed::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::flying towards the castle, he would descend in lazy circles as he made his way to the entrance,landing softly in front of the gates, he would enter the castle and head for the main hall::
Masterofhope22: ::waves goodbyr for the night::
Belle of Fools: Just Kia?
The Ace of Fools: ::He would follow after Belle to see what was going on and stopped just outside and saw Kia atop the horse with the bundle laying over::
TearsofProphecy: :: Moving the horse close. There was the 14 year old bundle of her daughter shrouded in white linen. :: Please... take her so I can dismount. :: She said softly to Belle. ::
Fae Of Illusions: ::she looked to the Fool and watched him from where she was hidden on her sister's shoulder. The brightly colored butterfly remained
mostly motionless save for the folding and unfolding of her wings::
Belle of Fools: ::Her brows rose up, looking up to the Sovereign's Counsel:: oh my...::a gulp and she reached up to help Kia, her heart ached so for her
friend:: aye, my lady ::Her voice gone quiet, and suddenly the bells held no sound as if to make Belle's solemn feelings known::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she smiled that fake smile she ahd on all night and a curties to Naitharas as he came in:: good eve
Nitharas Naiilo: ::bowing politely, he would offer her an equally fake smile::
The Ace of Fools: ::Jack moved to the Head of the horse and took the bridle in hand to hold him still just for safeties sake really he would lead the
horse away once Kia was dismounted ::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she quirked a brow at all the fakeness and shrugged::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::sh wonderd if soemthing were the matter with him but he was always short with her ::
Belle of Fools: ::She was very careful, and looked to Jack for assistance. He was much taller than she was, but she took Sil from Kia and did her best
to hold the young girl's body::
TearsofProphecy: Thank you… :: Kia's hood was up, on her black velvet overcoat. Handing the bundle carefully to Belle, Sil'toz really barely weighed
anything. Slowly dismounting she nodded to Jack in thanks. Then took Sil'toz back. :: Thank you... the Queen of Goldenmyst was there... not a person I like much. It was... appropriate because she is King Nicho's mother. :: She carefully shifted Sil'toz and then looked to Jack and Belle. :: I think I will go in through the garden on the side... I need to dress her in her robes.
Then Lord Ashram will be meeting me to bury her.
Nitharas Naiilo: ::looking around the hall, he would find a place to sit, giving Thalia a nod as he passed her::
Belle of Fools: ::She nodded, the tears that pooled in her own eyes shocked her to silence, till she gulped and took in a quick breath:: My lady...all are
in the hall. Do you wish to make a private entrance?
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she smiled to Lord Nitharas as she held out a finger for the butterfly to land upon::
LdyJasmineSutton: Lady Thalia do tell me what do you think should be required of our high ladies
The Ace of Fools: ::Jack nodded quietly Back to Kia as he lead the horse away to get water and in to the stall. He would soon return from the stable merely to offer his presence
Belle of Fools: ::She looked to Just Kia, a gentle palm to her friend's back::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she turned to Jasmine and mused quietly::well I looked over the scrolls ye sent and I think the code is well enough for now...and perhaps I will think of the other duties to discuss in private sometime milady
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she smiled softy::
Belle of Fools: ::she nodded:: My lady...::She could not believe those people had held the child's body this long. Her words were quiet:: Is the location to be a secret, my lady? ::whispering::
The Ace of Fools: Do you want any Help Kia? ::spoken quietly offering assisatance for what ever she needed::
TearsofProphecy: It won't be a secret... I just don't want to disturb anyone by carrying a body through the main room of the castle... :: She heading around towards the garden. :: I have a grave already dug out near the woods. A gate... a fence...
LdyJasmineSutton: ::a sadness eveloped her as she sat trying to work instead of deal with it::
Belle of Fools: Just Kia...if you wish I will wash her and dress her for you. ::very quiet, she didn't want Kia to have to do something that hurt her heart::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::Her dainty feet plodded across the expanse of the Hall as she settles upon the couch next to Jasmine so they could converse amongst each other with ease; she was donned in a forest green gown that whispered about her ankles::
TearsofProphecy: a stone and a coffin waiting, pure for a priestess of Ellistrea. No... thank you Belle. :: Bitting her lip as she snuck inside and up those stairs. ::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she silently waited for The Fool to return so that she could introduce Zarinah::

[kiakblackthorne]

The Ace of Fools: If ther is anyhting Kia .. do not hesitat...
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she placed a hand with Thalia:: may I hold Sil?
Belle of Fools: ::Looking to Jack, the tears spilt over, chin quivering as she wept. Poor Just Kia!::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she smiled and nodded; Sil was busy playing with the
butterfly upon her shoulder giggling wildly::
The Ace of Fools: ::he smiled softly and moved to Belle and hugged her:: its alright ma Belle ::quietly spoke as he had kneled to hug her and wipe her
tears away::
Belle of Fools: ::she looked at him as he wiped her tears:: How could they be so cruel, Jack? ::softly, the bells oddly keeping their silence::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::after a couple moments she handed Silouette to Jasmine, something of a glimmer of hope passed her delicate features as she hoped Sil would cheer Jasmine up with her antics::
Fae Of Illusions: ::she did have a fondness for children as she moved her wings sprinkling the illusion dust that glittered careful not to weave any illusions onto the child as she enjoyed her laughter::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she took dearest sila nd held her close humming and loving her::
Belle of Fools: ::She hugged him tightly, for once feeling as much a child as she ever had:: I wish that something could be done....there is no justice in what they did to Just Kia. ::whispering::
The Ace of Fools: Ne pleurent pas ma belle ... because they have no sence of dignity or feeling ... they are cold and hard to were it counts ..
ThaliaSilverwynd: :;Thalia smiled brightly as she watched Jasmine and the child with one another::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::standing, he would walk to the fire place, staring into the flames, lost in thought::
Belle of Fools: ::she leaned close, burying her tear streaked face on Jack's shoulder and hugging him tightly::
The Ace of Fools: Nothing can change what they did not now :: Huged her again and just held her there trying to calm her waying lightly::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::The amethystine eyes quivered and dimmed some as she sensed a profound melancholy wash over the castle this evening:: LdyJasmineSutton: ::she silently thought the fire in summer was a bit much but the room was large and it did not bother her she played with the baby her half 3/4 there::
TearsofProphecy: :: After a bit Kia came back down the stairs Holding her pure blood drow daughter dressed in her Preistess Robes. :: Excuse me... but... :: She entered, knowing it was messed up she was holding a dead body.:: I have to lay my daughter to rest... since Goldenmyst didn't. I ... am inviting any of you to join me. :: Kia was still in her black leather pants, the velvet overcoat hugging her body in stern contrast to the girl in white and silver robes she held. ::
Belle of Fools: ::She nodded, even Jack swaying her did not start the music of the bells again. She kissed her brother's cheek, petting the other one::
Belle of Fools: I will not let Kia see me in tears. I better straighten up, eh? ::quiet::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::taking note of the robes his green eyes would widen in surprise, his hand touching the holy
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she blinked upon Kia's entrance bearing the dead visage of her daughter; the words eluding her and her senses going numb::
Nitharas Naiilo: symbol of Eilistraee that he wore around his neck, under his armor::
LdyJasmineSutton: oh ::she rose with the child and followed then remembered Thalia and she offered to returned the child she intended to go with Kia::
Belle of Fools: Thank you for being my anchor
The Ace of Fools: I am always here for you Belle always:: He smiled and tapped her nose with is finger and offered a small smile::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she blinked and smiled gently taking Silo into her arms thinking it best that she remain outside with the child as to not upset Kia::
TearsofProphecy: Forgive me for the way this was done... I am sorry. :: She looked to Thalia::
Belle of Fools: ;:She let him go and smiled after he tapped her nose, the bells chimed a bit, but she pulled the tie on the jester hat and pulled it off, removing the bells, wild crimson hair tumbling around her shoulders:: And I for you, my brother. ::She sighed and took off her jacket:: I wish I had known her so I could sing a proper dirge for her.
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she would muster a faint smile looking to Kia, her heart tugging with sadness, and she shook her head:: nae need milady, May Elhonna be with ye always
Fae Of Illusions: ::seeing the child Tear's held she retook her true form and stepped a bit closer. In her realm she knew nothing of what happened as her father kept her very sheltered of such. But the feeling of this time was not one to ask questions:
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she went and took up Sil's skirt and feet helping to carry her if only symbolically::
The Ace of Fools: ::he nodded:: I understand Belle ... they come though I can tell the course of cheerful voices has left Kia probably comes with her daughter ..
TearsofProphecy: Thank you. :: Then she turned heading out towards the edge of the woods. Some how Kia was managing to keep the tears resting on her eye lids and not letting the free. There on the edge of the woods was a black cast iron fencing around the grave, a white pine coffin that Kia had made with silk lining. The grave she had dug with a few contacts. ::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::he would follow kia, feeling the need to add his support::
Belle of Fools: ::Cramming the belled jacket and hat into her pouch, she next removed her boots. Performing an untie cantrip, all her bells came loose to fall into the pouch as well. Once Kia came out, she looked up to Jack and slid her hand into his, following Kia with her brother::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::approaching the Lady Kia, he would ask softly::""May I bear this burden for you milady""
The Ace of Fools: ::Jack stood and offered his hand to belle to walk with her Following Kia to the edge of the woods. he nodded as she took off her Bells::
TearsofProphecy: Then she shook her head to Nitharas. Kia needed this moment with her. :: Thank you but... no.

[kiakblackthorne]

I Lord Ashram I: Riding towards the castle with his 'stalker' Lacey very close behind, he really wished he had been more useful and had more action. He did his part and that was all he could do.
RaduntStar: ::So said stalker was at Ashram's back, upon the war horse as well... As soon as the steed was drawn to a slowed gate, her slender hands
would fall from their place at his sides, and she would lean back slightly so as to not put quite so much pressure upon the equines kidneys.. Silver hues
glinted in the dark as she looked about.. She was there, if so needed, and would be more than happy to assist, but she knew the odds of such would be slim to none what with all the people about::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::Silouette beamed in her mother's arms when the twin onxy pools discovered the butterfly had morphes into a faerie and she giggled widly fluttering her wings::
LdyJasmineSutton: :;she walked at Kia side holding Sil's skirts and feet she mind and heart on the woman before her::
Fae Of Illusions: ::looking up she eyed some rafters and fluttered up to them and curled up on one of them to rest for the night::
Belle of Fools: ::She kept quiet and walked with Jack. She wished to help Kia, but also didn't wish to crowd her::
TearsofProphecy: :: Hugging her once more, she kissed the tattooed sun on her forehead and looked to everyone there before she set her in the coffin::
Sil'toz Kilvin, My Eldest daughter. 14, devotee to Ellistrea... A better person then her mother.
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she aranged the hem of the dress and stepped back::
TearsofProphecy: :: Sil looked the mirror of her mother, although you would never know Kia hadn't given birth to her. The only difference was the tattoo
on Sil's forehead. ::
The Ace of Fools: ::Jack Stood near the grave sight and watched as Kia lady her to rest his features solemn and respectful as he remained quiet. ::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::unsure of what to do, he did the only thing he could and began to sing, lifting his voice in a song of mourning, the haunting song was sung in drow, as he had learned it at the temple of The Lady of the Dance, Eilistraee::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::The half fae enigma remained seated upon the couch quieltly with her baby daughter in arms, the luminous features serene yet
solemn as the delicate ears perked beneath the rich mass of hair the color of twilight's darkest shadow,upon hearing the haunting melody of the Tel'Mithrim
resonate into the Hall from upstairs, the amethystine eyes quivering::
Belle of Fools: ::Oh shards! She looked to Nitharas, pale cheeks coloring slightly. She felt awful, she had forgotten her duty as she had thought of
Kia's pain when she should have tried to soothe it with a song honoring her child. She looked at Jack, then back to Just Kia. Nitharas was doing a fine
job...she kept her tongue still and looked at the small form in the casket::
The Ace of Fools: ::He leaned down to whisper to Belle quitely as she looked up at him::
TearsofProphecy: :: Kia stood up and hung her head as she listened to the song. Closing her eyes as she took a breath. ::
Belle of Fools: ::she nodded to Jack and drew her violin from the pouch, playing along to accompany Nitharas in a quiet, haunting tone::
The Ace of Fools: ::he then took a step to Kia and set a hand upon her shoulder and spoke quietly to her as well :: She will live on in our memories ... She will not be forgotten . ::only to offer quite words to help was all he could do ..::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::the song would slowly take on the form of a prayer as he would approach the small body, lowering his hands to bestow a blesing upon her in order to ward dark spirits away::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she stood by Kia a step behind really she let her sister to be weep and she placed a small flower near by it was a jasmine bloom from her hair ::<ws> for the cousin I knew not
TearsofProphecy: :: Kia nodded slowly, wiping her cheek as she hid in the darkness of her hood. :: She was a beautiful little girl. Good to her brother and sisters. Courted by King Nicho, but to be buried here in my home land. I love her and since the day I scooped her up and brought her home I cherished her. She fell at the blade of an assassin... coming for King Nicho. An
innocent killed for politics. I will always remember her ... beautiful. ::Taking a breath as she Looked to Ash, Jack, Belle, Jasmine... and everyone. ::
Belle of Fools: ::she closed her eyes and just kept playing, the song was not played loudly, it wove itself intothe background, trying to give comfort rather than sadness::
ThaliaSilverwynd: ::she wanted to be in the room to support Kia, but she knew it wasn't the time or place as she had Silouette this eve; instead, she whispered soft words sending Kia her support in spirit::
Belle of Fools: ::Her eyes opened as Kia fell silent, she let the song continue, and the tears refused to stay away, pooling whenever she opened her eyes. She wanted to be strong for Kia, but seeing her friend in so much pain hurt. She bowed her head to Kia as they made eye contact, no bells sounding::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::She took Kia's hand ad held it squeezing lightly in silent love and support::
The Ace of Fools: ::He nodded as kia turned and looked at each. Nodding with agreement. Currently most of those present were at the edge of the forest
only Thalia and her baby were left at the castle::
TearsofProphecy: :: Squeezing Jasmine's hand she then bent down and slid the lid one the coffin. But it was held in place with nothing but a few straps. Rather then nails. :: She looked to Ash :: Will.... you help me lower her?
I Lord Ashram I: He nodded and moved to his place. His eyes were fixed on Kia for the time being. "Yes." He fell into silence and waited for her lead.
Nitharas Naiilo: ::he would pull his holy symbol from beneath his armor as his voice lowers in a silent prayer::
The Ace of Fools: ::At the edge of the forest there was a gathering of beings seven in all .. Hardly any movement was given to any of them nor speech that was loud.. the only thing really heard was the Violin that Belle plaid ::
TearsofProphecy: :: There were straps wrapped around two bars. Ash taking one side as she slowly began to lower, rolling the bars slowly so the coffin
was lowered.:: Thank you Ash.

[kiakblackthorne]

I Lord Ashram I: Going with Kia's pace he lower the coffin. His eyes watching its decent. He felt a bit of sadness for Kia since he had been close to her.
The Ace of Fools: ::There would be no guards at the gate strangely enough they would be open to the rode, even thought it was an unwise descison. But
there were reasons behind it..::
TearsofProphecy: :: Once it was lowerd the straps easily slid off and she walked to Ash. Patting his arm, touching her head to his shoulder before she laid the thind down. :: I don't think any of you knew my daughter, but if anyone wants to say something.. feel free.
LdyJasmineSutton: ::seh shook her head she had never even seen SIl alive ::
Belle of Fools: ::She kept to her song, waiting for others to speak for she had not known the girl personally and thought perhaps others did::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::stepping up to wear she was put to rest, he would clear his throat softly to address them::
Belle of Fools: ::As Nitharas stepped up, she stilled her violin, moving up to stand with Jack again and letting Nitharas talk without having to speak over the music, quiet as it was it might be distracting::
TearsofProphecy: :: Wiping her cheeks off again she looked to Nitharas. Kia was just struggling to keep it together till she could get to her room ::
Nitharas Naiilo: "I just wanted to say a few words, I only met this young lady briefly before my travels brought me to this castle, I happened across her enchanted grove of Eilistraee and I had never known such peace as I had on my brief stayu there, I only met her once, but she seemed to be a special girl blessed with a rare serenity, it was an honor to know her even if it was a short association, may Eilistraee cradle her always"'
I Lord Ashram I: He hugged Kia feeling what she was feeling. Sometimes being able to feel others emotions did effect him. He would offer her some
comfort.
Belle of Fools: ::She looked to Jack for guidance, to see if he would make a statement or not::
TearsofProphecy: May she always. :: Kia nodded and looked up to Ash patting his arm gently. :: Thank you... I love you Sil'toz, you always wil be. :: Kia was openly crying taking out a handkerchief and clutching it dearly to her face. ::
The Ace of Fools: ::Jack reached in to his tunic and with drew a card and took a step to her final resting place and spoke softly though his words could be heard. His words went to the girl taht lay to rest not to the others ::
The Ace of Fools: De repos enfant peacfully, et voyage sans risque ... :: He Held out the card those he cared to look would see it was the seven of spades
he held it over the grave and then let it drop with in:: Till another time ..
RaduntStar: ::Lacey stood in silence, hands held together at her back... Her head was tilted toward the sky as was her gaze.. Long before, that purple
emblem upon her forehead had made itself quite evident in the dark.. ::
Belle of Fools: ::She looked to the card Jack placed and then to him. She moved to Kia looking more like some kind of sad woods spirit than her usual jesterish self.:: The invisible world embraces her, Just Kia. ::Nearly inaudible:: Perhaps
LdyJasmineSutton: ::stunned it was all clear to her then and there she looked at Kia and nodded ::
I Lord Ashram I: He had nothing to say at the time. He was just there for Kia and no one else, not even himself which was something quite odd.
Belle of Fools: her spirit will dance with us again in life....or ours we will dance whit her when we follow her in her journey. I'm sorry...words do not express properly...but I love you....just call if you need anything.
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she sighed her heart was clear and now it would not be simple nor any easier
TearsofProphecy: Thank you all, I am sorry for burdening you all with my sorrow. :: Her hand went to her forehead as she bower her head a moment, unable to speak. Bending down she gripped a handfull of soil and tossed it on the casket. ::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::From love, With love, go to love, be at ease
WillShadowgate: ::Slowly the rider would be seen upon a black stallion. Silver armor could be seen as a great helm was over his head. Upon his back a red caped danced in the wind as he made his way to the edge of the woods. Once reaching them he would slowly dismount his horse. Through the slits of the helmet he would see those around. Slowly he would walk towards Kia.::
WingsOfProphecy: :: He stood off in the back, wings folded up tightly behind him. Arms folded over his chest, eyes shifting across those present before resting on one person. ::
TearsofProphecy: :: Rising she just began to sob into her handkerchief. :: I want her back! It's not fair that brat took her from me! :: She couldn't help but blame Nicho right now. ::
Belle of Fools: ::She shook her head, she did not feel being here for Kia was a burden, but what could one say to that?:: Just Kia...perhaps now you should go inside. ::She looked to Jack for help, then back to Kia. She wanted to get Kia away from the gravesite to rest. She moved closer to Kia and hugged her tightly::
The Ace of Fools: ::he Nodded:: Yes Kia why not return to the Castle and rest... we will see to the finish of it :: meaning finishing hte burial::
WillShadowgate: Kia. ::He said softly from under the helmet. She couldn't see him but she knew who he was.::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::he would hang back, shrouding himself in his cloak, covering his platinum scaled wings and his dragonscale armor as he slips into the shadows, feeling like he leave her alone in her grief::
Belle of Fools: ::She petted her friend, then looked to her friend Ash:: Will you please help her inside?
TearsofProphecy: :: She swallowed hard and looked to Will. Just a moment more and she would go with them. ::
RaduntStar: ::Eyes widened at Kia's out burst.. She suddenly began to understand what was going on, putting herself in Kia's position.. If one of her children were in that wooden box, she would not be inclined to even be as calm as Kia's outbreak was at the moment..::
WillShadowgate: ::He would slowly take off his helmet dropping it to the ground as he would remove those chain gloves upon his hands and drop them as well. His black hair fell around his armored shoulders as he would look upon her with those icy blue hues. Slowly he would take a step to her gently wrapping his arms around her.::
Belle of Fools: ::She was afraid not to keep an arm around Kia, but she did duck out of the way as the king came up and hugged her::
I Lord Ashram I: He looked at Belle shaking his head slightly. "She'll go when she is ready. She has plenty of friends around to help her, she doesn't need me."
TearsofProphecy: Will... :: she wrapped her arms around him as she held him tight even in his armor. :: I... Thank you so much Ash.. You don't know what it ment that you helped me. ::: She leaned her head on Will's shoulder:: I couldn't wait anymore. I needed ... to bury her.
Belle of Fools: ::Peering at Ash from behind the hugging Kia and Will, she resisted the urge to run over and kick him on the shins. That wouldn't really help anything now. Besides, she'd taken off her boots, and that would hurt. She stifled her irritation and went back over to Jack, whispering to him::
WillShadowgate: ::He would kiss her forehead gently as he held her within his.:: She is where she belongs. ::He said softly as he would look to Ash remembering there dual from last night.::

WingsOfProphecy: :: He moved across the grounds coming to stand beside Ash. Doesnt lift his gaze up to him, but rather looks to the ground. :: Master, It
is good to see you again.
RaduntStar: ::Damp eyes lifted to fix upon Ashram, curious as to what his response would be to Kia's words..::
Belle of Fools: ::Blinks, gripping Jack's arm as Mika called that man Master.::
The Ace of Fools: ::he smiled to Belle and patted her shoulder as she came to stand next to Belle. then looked to Mika and smiled a curious thought a t
the master bite but paied it no mind for now and looked back to to Belle and nodded in silence::
I Lord Ashram I: He really wasn't the best friend in other's eyes but there was few who understood him enough to put up with him. He gave a bow to Kia
and said nothing more on the matter. His eyes wandered to the one now beside him. "It has been some time hasn't it?"
The Ace of Fools: ::he would leaned down to listen to her whisper as well::::he nodded:: I will ma Belle
RaduntStar: I am among them... ::Words were muttered as she turned to head toward the castle, head hung as she watched the ground pass by beneath her feet..::
Belle of Fools: ::She smiled and nodded:: In the wee hours ::vsw::
WingsOfProphecy: That it has. :: He nods his head, hoops in his ears create a small jingle as they bounce into one another. :: Are you going to stay here
now as well?
TearsofProphecy: :: Taking a deep breath she hung her head and then saw Mika. At least he was here and She hugged Ash just for that and then turned.
to head into the castle. ::
WillShadowgate: ::He smiles softly to them as he stood there slowly turning. He would kneel bye the grave looking upon it not saying a word not moving
just kneeling there watching Sil's grave.::
The Ace of Fools: ::he looked to Nitharas .. :: Help me fill the grave would you? :: he would have asked Kia’s friend but it was not his place ..::*
I Lord Ashram I: "Though I think I would end up staying I know I can't."
RaduntStar: ::Suddenly she stopped, her head coming up for cat like eyes to scan the darkness in a squint::
Belle of Fools: ::She waited until Kia was well on her way toward the castle and squatted down by the grave, beginning to slide the soft earth into place
as she sang softly under her breath in an old archaic tongue, unknown to all save those of House Briona. She was singing to the earth, stirring up it's warmth as it began to embrace the small casket::
WingsOfProphecy: As it is always..But you will visit often? :: Looks up to him now, his sapphire hues outlined with a ring of crimson that glows slightly brighter then the blue of his eyes. ::
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she stepped forward and placed a supportive hand on William's shoulder::
WillShadowgate: ::He would gently place a hand upon Jasmines as he spoke softly looking upon the grave.:: So young
I Lord Ashram I: "Where ever Kia goes I'll probably end up there as well. I will be around to visit more if things permit it."
WingsOfProphecy: :: He nodded once and then looked towards the Castle. ::That is good, She and I could use your company and help around here.
The Ace of Fools: ::He shrugged as he was ignored by the bladedancer and looked to bella nd smiled... there was a shoval or two near by. He would take
up one of thsoe and dispite the cloths he wore began to shoval the moist dirt intothe grave.::
The Ace of Fools: ::it would be easy to cast a cantrip to fill the grave.. but honor was due here and honore was paid by efforts not tricks::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::noticing the wounded newcomer as he made his way to the gates, he would approach the man cautiously::
WingsOfProphecy: I must go...now thou' It was good to see you again My Master. :: Bows to Ash and takes a step back, then leaps right up and takes flight into the sky. ::
TearsofProphecy: :: Once inside she hurried up the stairs to her room where Gret sat with the children. She began to sob again, falling onto a couch and pulling them all close, including Gret that had helped her raise them so long. ::
I Lord Ashram I: He gave a small bow as Mika took off.
Belle of Fools: ::She sat back on her heels, watching Mika fly upward, blowing tendrils of crimson curls from her eyes::
WillShadowgate: ::He would slowly stand as he would too grab a shovel and he began to toss the dug up dirt into the grave.::
Nitharas Naiilo: ::shaking his head as the stranger disappears, he would head back to the gates to welcome the weary travelers::
Belle of Fools: ::Translation of the song:: Back to the ocean, back to the Sea, Back to the rivers at one with thee
LdyJasmineSutton: ::seh stood and foudn another shovel and helped him ::
The Ace of Fools: ::the grave was filled slowly and moer quickly as Will began to Help Jack offered a light smile and nod before returning tothe job at hand::
Belle of Fools: Back to my blood adn back through my veins, Back to my heartbeat one and the same, Back to the forest, back to the fields, Back to the Mountains, her body revealed, Back to my bones, back to my skin,Back to my spirit, the fire within
I Lord Ashram I: He now would just watch the grave get filled. His mind drawing a blank now feeling lost, being brought someplace compared to going there on his own always left him this way. He took a few steps back folding his arms across hischest.
The Ace of Fools: ::and even with the Help of the Lady the grave would soon be filled a soft mound that raised and would settle even with ground eventually::
Belle of Fools: ::she rose to her feet as the grave became more and more filled up, leaning over to pat the earth with her hands, letting there be a soft mound of open earth, she began to repeat the chant, dancing in a slow, musicless dance around the young girl's grave::
WillShadowgate: ::He would continue to move the dirt with the shovel into the grave his heart heavy as he would force himself to cover her and let her sleep in peace.::
Nitharas Naiilo: (¯`'·.¸§(¯`'·.¸¤(ThaliaSilverwynd)¤¸.·'´¯)§¸.·'´¯)
LdyJasmineSutton: ::she dug into the dirt with the spade tip and lifted it sending it into the hole she was slower then the men but she was helping none the less::
The Ace of Fools: ::He would stop and take a step back as it was filled letting Will finish it off as only two to three shovals remained::
WillShadowgate: ::Once the grave was filled he would gently kneel down kissing his two fingers slowly and place his hand upon the ground.:: Sleep well young princess. ::He would say softly as he would take up his shovel and walk to his helmet and gloves picking them up as well. He would look to Jack and Jasmine slowly.:: Hatred and Greed. ::He said softly.:: The falling part of most men and women. The reason many suffer and die so young.
Belle of Fools: ::As the young unseelie fae danced around the mound of earth in slow movements, she would lean over to touch the fresh earth as if running her fingertips through water. As she did so, a sprinkling of sprouts rose up from the fresh earth::
The Ace of Fools: ::he nodded to WIll:: Let us not speak of it here though.. let her rest easily ina place of peace ..

[kiakblackthorne]

LdyJasmineSutton: ::she watched him and used the shovel to hold herself up right::
Belle of Fools: ::She was careful not to step on the grave, and only moved clockwise around it. The sprouts were new green, shining with a silvery light under the moon::
The Ace of Fools: ::He smiled to Belle as he watched the Roses rise::
WillShadowgate: ::He would nod slowly to Jack as he would whistle for his horse which would come up to him.:: Lady Jasmine. ::He would say softly.:: Please ride upon, Eppie.
The Ace of Fools: Come Belle lest get back to the castle.. we can come back later ...
LdyJasmineSutton: ::seh nodded and went to him letting him guilde her ::
Belle of Fools: ::her dance continued around Sil's burial mound, the silvery lavender roses grew up slowly in tiny buds. Joining the small roses were the curling tendrils of lilies of the valley, surrounding the mound of roses. She stopped her dance, weaving just a bit, her energy near spent::
Belle of Fools: ::She nodded, slipping the small dirty hand into his:: I am tired, Jack. ::quietly::
WillShadowgate: ::He would slowly help her upon his horse once upon it he would lead them up towards the castle.::
Belle of Fools: Do you think that Just Kia would mind if I...just rest for a bit?
The Ace of Fools: ::he nodded and started for the Castle sure to pass the gates and saw those he did not know standing a the gate and looked to Belle cruiously wondering if she knew them ::
The Ace of Fools: NO Belle I don't think so go rest ..
I Lord Ashram I: Alone yet again he stood in the darkness watching the few who remainded to fill the grave leave. His eyes fell upon the grave.
Belle of Fools: ::she nodded:: I shall meet you back here when the clock strikes 3, my brother.
The Ace of Fools: ::He smiled:: aye Belle Go rest ..
Belle of Fools: The magic will be easier then....::She stood on her toes and hugged Jack's neck, kissing his cheek:: Thank you
The Ace of Fools: :: He hugged her back and smiled:: always ma Belle
Belle of Fools: :She smiled at him, turning in a small circle, with a graceful curve of her arm she spun, form rising into the air as wings spread out and she shrank to a size of no more than 6 inches high::
The Ace of Fools: :he looked to the two men with the Horses and the Lady that was at the funeral and moved towards the small group:: Hello there...

I Lord Ashram I: Now it would seem he was alone and would stay that way. He moved up beside the grave to kneel. Making a fist with his right hand he placed it over his heart while bowing his head. He was never one for words but could show his sorrow while alone. His long jet black hair falling infront of his face remained giving his own prayer which no one would ever expect. Standing up he moved back a few steps still looking at the grave. After saying all his silent words he felt should be said he turned heading away. A sharp whistle would bring his war horse up behind him to follow as he walked away from everyone heading somewhere but in truth it really was nowhere.

(( I just wanted to point out how fate chose to illustrate the cycle of death and rebirth. When Kia brought Sil's body into the Castle Thalia had her baby girl Sil, short for Silhouette. But I just thought that was strange and beautiful at the same time. I also like the smilies that invade the log! So I am keeping them there. It cheers up a depressing log. ))

I posted on the general board and said it would be my last. I got the link to the burial and had to read it.

Thank you Care.
