Azumi sat next to her dad, on a table next to the King. They were sited above the castle walls, everyone was gather from the castle doors to downtown, filling every single inch of the streets.
Azumi's father was a big musclar man, with short black hair and a big black beard with white streaks that showed his older age. He wore a golden armor, same tone as Azumi's. They both had the same serious expression, except Azumi looked like a lady and her father like he was going to kill someone.
The King raised his hands to get everyone's attention. "My dear Kelians! The war is over!"
The crowd cheered loudly, some trumpets could be heard.
"We understand now, that the three nations were tricked into fighting one another for the well being of our enemy. But! We have figured out their plans and they will fall!" He paused to let the people cheer. "Now, we are not here to celebrate. We are here to pay our respects. We achieved a victory, but at the cost of many. The ones who came back, are the lucky ones. In Memory of our entire Grand Court and every guild and soldier, please give them a minute of silence."
The entire city grew silent.
"Thank you. Now, I present to you, the mural in memory of our loved ones!" The King raised his hands.
A magical light covered the castle walls. When it was gone, there was a mural. The mural had the face of all the fallen in the war. It started with the members of the Grand Court and continued on with the guilds. After that, soldiers and others followed.
Samantha stood next to Sarah, looking at the mural from within the crowd. She looked at Leo's portrait and pointed. "There he is."
Annette's eyes got watery as she wrote on her notepad.
