The whole family of Miledale stand in the courtyard as the rain showers on them and a pile of Alex's belongings.
A few number of guards stand on the other side of the pile and the others, behind the family while the family of the assumed deceased stand on the right as they mourn Alex.
"Here lies the remains of Alex the twin, a good warrior, a son, a brother and now a fallen. For he has gone to rest with the gods and his ancestors, may his spirit guide and protect us all."
Caladan, an elder of the council of Miledale reads. Dawin walks around the pile slowly as he pours coal oil all over before finally setting it on fire.
(Honora, on the other hand, couldn't stand it anymore, she just knew something was wrong but at the end of the day she was just a girl who just lost a brother and didn't want to seem paranoid. It was the first thing they were going to say "she's just lost a brother and paranoid")
'But how could Alex just disappear'
She continued to wonder
"I can't watch this"
She whispers to Tommen. He immediately takes her away from the scene and they move into the castle.
***
It's that time of the day on the streets of Brighton where the men and women unleash the demons in them, after a whole day of the act of perfect Christianity, the time where the vulgarity of the darkness they wield within is fully showcased.
Men roam the streets wasted and worthlessly lusting over young women and wives of others while the children lay asleep.
Morgan yells crazily as she searches every street for her mother.
"Mother!!"
She screams relentlessly but to no one's heed. Her aura luckily, keep even the most lustful men away, giving her room to search for her mother some what peaceably.
She searches every corner as sees no shadow in resemblance to her mother's. Her right eye catches the market's tap and after all the searching she realized she had gotten dehydrated. Unluckily for her, the tap was of first grade abandonment, so condemned to the denial of beggars but hydration at all cost was all she could think about. She squats a little and directly puts her mouth under the tap as water gushes out but there was a certain oddity about the water, one worse the others.
As she closes the tap and is about to take the last gulp, a roach springs out of the tap into her mouth.
"Holy.."
She breaks as she spits out the remaining out of her mouth.
She hears a little laugh from behind and turns in embarrassment.
"Find another, this one is poisoned."
She warns
"It's a roach not a python"
The voice replies
(The voice, the accent, the scent, the aura, everything was wrong with it. It most definitely couldn't have been a beggar.
Morgan turns back and sees a woman wearing a red cloak, she attempts to leave in continuing her search when the lady shuts her down with two words that brings her to a pause.)
"She's dead"
'Who is she? How does she know who I'm looking for? Where did she come from? Wait, what did she say?'
Morgan thought
"Look, I do not know who you are, and I don't want to care but whatever you mean or assume should be kept to yourself."
Morgan says in false confidence.
"She is your mother, I know, it hurts but that should be the least of your worries, the dead never rise again. Let her go."
Morgan gets lost in deep thought in which after some seconds she recovers, shoots the lady a nasty look, ignores her and advances back into the streets to continue her search for her mother. She passes five more streets and eventually brings her search to a stop at a closed shop beside a motel out of exhaustion.
