[NightSyn CrimsonFlameSugarDemon OkumuraSakata]

*Night had his fist clenched.* Uncle Ukyo, how will I explain this to my brothers and sisters? How will I explain this to mom and dad? How will I live with this?

[Ukyo Hadesu JadeSugarDemon Moroboshi]

Ukyo : *He pulled his nephew close.* It is not your place to explain this. Someone is on their way to explain to your siblings what has transpired here. Chief Rika knows the most so she may have to stand at the gazebo here in the middle of the kingdom for those gathered to hear what happened. Things of this nature cannot be kept a mystery from family and close friends. It’s not only unfair but doesn’t allow you closure. And you deserve to know how this happened and why. I’ve explained all I could. Try to understand Night, we are not all invulnerable. Some will see many deaths as you have more immortal aspects to you but those who are more human will not always remain with us. Let us leave the church now. You need to get further from it and take a seat outside. *He then led his nephew out of that area that was becoming a constant remind of his auntie’s loss..*

[NightSyn CrimsonFlameSugarDemon OkumuraSakata]

*Night couldn’t even look back at the church. He simply walked with his uncle Ukyo taking his advice and getting further away from the church so he could process all he learned and grieve appropriately.*

[Rika SniperSugarSpirit Minami]

*After Michael has left, Rika sat down and cover her face, digesting what Michael had told her. She was totally unaware that the rest of the family had already been told of Noloty’s passing as she was thinking on how she was going to explain to Yukio and Leonardo that a resurrection will not be possible. She sighs heavily and looks at the urn, feeling even a heavier weight over her shoulder. Her trance was interrupted by the church priest who gently touched her shoulder and offered his assistance for a proper burial.  She didn’t have the strength to speak so she smiled back accepting his offer*

[Ginko Sakatachi-Hijikata (SnowbloodSugarFiend)]

*Ginko had arrived and was standing inside the church long enough to hear all the words that St. Micheal told Rika but Ginko had closed her eyes and squat down behind a pew because the light of St. Micheal could burn her eyes due to her partial demonic blood. She finally opened her eyes when St. Micheal left and had stepped outside the door. She sat on the ground to absorb the shock of what she had heard.* This is amazing! All this time and this happens. I hope sis Lilith and sis LuzHela aren’t rejoicing in this kind of news. *She stood up and left, after a while she came back with roses and put them at the alter where the candles were lit.* Gomen Lady Noloty, my sisters and I were once on the wrong side of things. Or at least, I realize I was. Nothing has been better than the life with this family and I am honored to have met you. *She then bows and smiles* I’m glad I did get to meet someone so important to this family.

[Sesshomaru Bokyosei 殺人的SugarDemonDog]

*Sesshomaru and a few of the elders came and stood before St. Michael’s church. Rather than going to the cemetery. Their reasoning was that they felt that Noloty’s soul was still with Urd so they considered her to be alive but her physical body was gone. Rather than go to the cemetery, the elders whose to leave roses and other items at the front of the church to commemorate her.*

Rest in peace Noloty niece, you’ve done all you could for this family and this will always be appreciated! *he puts down several white roses and then leaves.*

[Inuyassha SavageSugarDemonDog]

*Inu looked at the sky* Arigato Noloty! *he blew a kiss to her* We understand! And we’ll help our young ones understand. *he then put red roses and candles in the front of the church for her. He stood and left with his brother as they would return to Satou Arcanum.*

[Ranma Shukumaru SpunkySugarDemon Saotome]

*Ranma then put blue and white roses around the church. He walked back and looked at his brothers. * Noloty, I know you’ll always be close to the family and my daughter so rest your physical body well and hope you find a new freedom this way.

[Koga NoireLycanSugarDemon Yōrō]

*Brings black roses, he tosses them in the air in front of the church letting them land where they may and smirks.* You sure know how to make an exit hot stuff! Hope you’ll watch over us. *throws a kiss to the sky* Rest well!

[Ryoga Hibiki (LostSugarDemonWolf)]

*Arrives with yellow roses and kneels in front of the church.* Noloty, this church represents your love for us, it holds your history and ours. We’ll always honor you! Arigato, you helped us maintain our legacy from the start! *he puts the yellow roses down.* We know you’re still with us! *he pounds his heart* Even if it’s just here! *smiles* Rest well! *he then follows his brothers out of the church and back to Satou Arcanum.*

[Thoth Caduceus Sakatakami ☤ OmnisScientiaSucréDeus]

*Aware of the events at St. Michael’s Church but not all that surprised since he was aware of the movements taking place and understood the outcome.*

[Rika SniperSugarSpirit Minami]

*After taking a few days to ease her pain, to clear her mind and to finally accept the fact that her best friend’s physical body is gone; she heads to the church and meets with the priest who had promised to arranged something special for Noloty. Knowing that most family members feel the burden of the protective barrier surrounding the church, he had arranged a seating area at the Gazebo and she was amazed at the delicate floral decoration around it. She steps inside the gazebo and sees a picture of Noloty at the far end. Rika carried a frame with a written poem she had written while she was grieving. She places it next to the picture then leans against one of the railings, lost in her thoughts, remembering what she had written for her beloved friend*

[Rika SniperSugarSpirit Minami]

Rika’s Poem:

If only… The question that we face in our time of sorrow,
So much life now gone, with no time to borrow

If only… The hollow words replay throughout our every thought
No child should pass and leave us in this hell where we’re now caught

If only… The wretched emptiness could just be filled
And we could once again begin the life we started to build

If only… We could move on from the brutal pain
For caught in this darkness, we are no longer sane

If only… Two little words… with such deep meaning now
Our children have passed and left us questioning how

If only… Such pain and sorrow did not exist
And we did not have to deal with the tears we now resist

If only… There was a way to go back and change the past
For now we bear this burden of the child-loss mask

If only… The world knew what we deal with every day
Or there were words enough to make it all ok

If only… We knew how to move on with a simple real smile
Without the fear that tragedy will strike again at any given mile

If only… The words that echo in our hearts now, every single day
As we pull ourselves together and we try to find our way

If only… We didn’t have to carry this heavy feeling of loneliness and sudden tears,
And had the strength to live each day without the constant worry and the fears…

If only…

 

 

[Rika SniperSugarSpirit Minami]

*Rika was so focused on her thoughts, that she didn’t even notice when Urd appeared at the garden*

[Noloty Kagerou PoisonSugarDemon Maruchie Sakata]

*A fully recovered Urd lands gently at the garden, just a few feet away from the gazebo and slowly walks towards it. She was wearing a beautiful purple with white edges halter top dress and a long purple silk scarf loosely fitted around her neck, and silver bracelets that although it looks fancy, they were actually meant to simmer down her hybrid essence. She stands by the entryway and observes Rika for a few minutes then speaks softly* The priest failed to tell you that my ashes are hidden among the secret chambers of this church. Goodness, now I have to fire him! *She speaks with the intent to break the ice by adding a bit of her sarcastic humor*
