Death and Rebirth: Roleplay with TheNovaSwag #2

Chapter 59

M:   "No!" Esha shouted, kneeling next to Arthur's body, "No no no, it can't be, Arther, how?"

Esha was very distraught, she and Arthur had become close friends throughout her time with the British, often going on horseback rides together, and after she knew she couldn't have Johann, her feelings for him started to grow.

"H-he wants Saxon," she said quietly, her voice breaking as she tried to hold back her tears, "A-Arther secretly worked for him, I guess Suebi wants to ch-challenge him for the Head of Insurgents."

Esha took off her cloak and covered Arther's body out of respect, then buried her face in her hands to cry, "Why does everyone I love have to break my heart," she sobbed.

N:   Anglo quickly put two and two together and knelt down next to Esha and hugged her. "We will make sure he doesn't die in vain," he muttered, "and he will be honored. Let's take him back to the castle and have him properly buried; take care of yourself and I'll just ask BE to help me."

Before there Eternal could protest, he added, "I want you to take care of yourself. You have gone through so much, and I don't want to load you with my problem, so please, speaking as a friend, I want you to look after yourself while I figure this out."

M:   Esha wanted to argue but she didn't have the energy to anymore, so she just said, "ok, I will, but know that it's not just your problem, England is everyone's friend and family, and we all want him home as much as you do, so don't think that we won't help you."

The eternal took a moment more to collect herself, then stood up and shifted into her dragon form so it would be easier to carry Arther back.

"Hop on," she insisted, "if I'm going on the sidelines I might as well carry you back too."

N:   Anglo nodded as he carefully lifted up Arthur and placed him on Esha's back, making sure the human was covered before he himself hopped on. He gave the draconic eternal the signal and soon they were off in the sky, back towards the compound.

When they arrived, Royal, Wales, and BE were the first people to find them, but Anglo didn't say anything as he carefully lifted Arthur off Esha. "Prepare a coffin," he spoke, turning to Wales, "we lost a good man and he needs to be honored."

The Welshman nodded and went to get the necessary preparations, and while he was gone, BE asked, "I got the letter you sent me, have you been able to get any more information."

"We followed Suebi's clues, which led us to Arthur here," the winged country answered, "and there was a note saying that we should bring 'his master' to the entity, and according to Esha, that would be Saxon."

The empire fell silent at this information, looking at the motionless figure in his grandfather's arms, "I will see what I can do. Grandfather is still in the dungeons, and I don't have the stomach to go back down there again, but right now we have a particularly pressing matter. It will take a couple of hours to get everything ready to bury Sir Bekerel, due to the short notice, so make sure that everyone says their goodbyes."

"Yeah, their goodbyes," Royal echoed quietly, glancing over to Esha. She usually is the one watching over the cadets as they trained, and she has seen how close Esha and Arthur have been getting, so she only wondered how the Eternal felt.

M:   Esha felt numb, it wasn't very normal for her to give her heart to someone, so having it broken hit her very hard. She wouldn't acknowledge anyone or raise her vision from the ground, merely shifting to normal and following Anglo to wherever he would take Arthur's body.
