The Eclipse Family

Chapter 16

People of all types of elements, or branches, and even some humans come wearing all black.
They bring forth a casket.
Inside laid a young woman who's life had been snuffed out too soon.
Her friends and family sit close to her, trying not to cry.
They've cried enough, haven't they?
Their children also faced the same problem, even though they were not as close, they would always remember their Aunt Luna.
But her family... they shed a few tears.
Especially her children, who had lost their mother a week ago.
Then they stood up to say a few words.

"She was one of the best people I knew. She was strong, empowered, but kind. It hurts to know that she lost her life because of some horrible monster."

"I was the first person out of this group to go on this journey with her. It was amazing to see her power and leadership. We had so many days when we would just talk for a second."

"She was my sister. By law, sure. But we grew so close over the years. I grew the courage to ask Kyna out because of her. She helped me so much."

"I probably spent the least time with her, but it was memorable to say the least. She had this... this thing about her. She was so special. She radiated good."

"She helped me so many times. But actually, the first time we met, she saved me. I have never been able to pay her back. Not after everything she's done for me. Not after everything's she done for Etheria."

"I loved her. I married her. We had twins. Then she died. Honestly, I didn't want to believe at first. Maybe if I just kept hoping, she would come back. But seeing her like this, I know she's gone. But I miss her so much. She might be the best thing that's ever happened to me, the best thing that's happened to Etheria in a long time. She saved us all."

"She was my mom. Then she left."

"She might be the best mom I could ever hope for, I just want her to come back."
