Today was the day to cremate general Wei, his body lay on top of a bed of tree branches. The sky was a dark grey colour indicating heavy rain, the wind blew a cold breeze,bearing the cold the whole army surrounded the generals corpse in silence as sign of respect. Lee was carrying a lit torch of flames which he used to burn the bed of branches holding general Wei's body.

The branches went up in flames, the speed of the flames were quickened by the strong winds. The quicker the flames, spread the quicker the tears rolled down Bao's face. She knew this was it, her father was gone.
Soldiers began to retreat

when the flames had reached general Wei's Body,leaving Bao and Jo once again.

The tears wouldn't stop strolling down Bao's cheeks no matter how hard she fought them, the sight of her own Fathers corpse burning was heartbreaking.

"Father!" She cried trying to run into the flames believing if she took her own life she could be with him and Hong but was quickly stopped by Jo.
Jo wrapped his musclar arms around her as a sign of comfort and reassurance Bao cried on his chest, Jo's chest was soon wet with Bao's pool of tears.

"Their both really gone", Bao mumbled.

Jo simply patted her back and felt her sorrow, he knew exactly how it felt to lose two people you love dearly at once. Baos sadness was quickly turning to hate, she knew crying all day wouldn't bring them back or appease her sorrow.

"Ãl-Emre you'll pay for my brother and father", she said under her breath. Her breathing became more rapid from thoughts of killing her father's biggest rival, she finally let out a huge sigh stopping herself from dark thoughts. Revenge was the only way she believed could send her brother and father away peacefully to the next life. She blamed Ãl-Emre for the deaths of Hong and General Wei.

Jo's face had a worried expression after hearing Bao's whispers, Bao meet his worried gaze and broke free from his arms. She turned her back to him, annoyed he'd seen her in such a fragile state.

"I'll be in the tent working, I should be back soon to clean up his ashes", she said quietly starting to walk away.

"Revenge is not or ever the answer", Jo said hoping she'd reconsider her plans.

Jo waited for a response from her but he never received one, she simply kept on walking with her long raven hair being blown by the cold wind, the heavy rain the skies promised earlier began.
