Book 7: Chapter 381: Six Months (2)

The reality of it all hit Dyon like a ton of bricks. He hadn’t even fully registered that these two angel-like little girls had died.

Those who stood behind him silently could see that Dyon’s shoulders and back had stiffened considerably. It was to the point where the pumping of his blood grew so vigorous that room’s temperature began to slowly rise.

Every time Dyon tried to take a deep breath, it felt as though there wasn’t enough air in the room, or maybe his lungs had inexplicably shrunk down to a third of their size.

It was clear to everyone what happened… Mia and Bella had died…

Dyon felt his eyes glisten with tears, but he knew he couldn’t let them fall. He could still remember how heartbroken he felt watching his father shed the only tears of his he had ever seen at his mother’s funeral. As a child who thought nothing could get to his father back then, Dyon remembered feeling incredibly scared.

Maybe it was irrational of him to feel that way back then, but he was a child. All he knew of his father was that he was a man that nothing could bring down. Watching him cry was one of the most painful moments of his life.

It wasn’t as though Dyon had never cried before. He cried when Jade burned down the orphanage and killed Ms. Everdeen. He cried with Amphorae died in his arms. He cried when his black flames practically took over his mind.

But this wasn’t something he could do now… Not while he was the leader of the Mortal Alliance, not while he was the leader of the Sacharro Clan.

He stood slowly. The only sign of his emotion was the slight tremble that gripped him, but even that soon disappeared.

“Meiying.” Dyon’s voice was calm and steady as he allowed Meiying to exit his inner world. “Please do what you can to provide them with a proper burial. Feel free to use any resources you need, and if you deem it appropriate, we can lay them to rest in Celestial Garden.”

Celestial Garden was none other than the place that held the entrance to the celestial mystical world. It was a beautiful place that took Dyon’s breath away whenever he entered… He couldn’t think of anything the twins deserved more than to be laid to rest there.

Meiying nodded. “I only need a few days.” She said softly.

Dyon faintly responded in acknowledgement before he turned back to face those in the room with him.

Clara stood not far away, her tears coating her cheeks. It seemed that only three or so months were enough for her to recover in full.

Kaeda tried to hide her face away, attempting to do whatever she could to gain a hold of her emotions.

Aside from them, there were two others, both of whom were former soul slaves. After sending his clones out to mentor them for so long, Dyon recognized them immediately. They were the respective most talented male and female among those Dyon saved, Diore and Masada.

Masada seemed to be crying uncontrollably in Diore’s arms, unable to restrain herself as much as Clara and Kaeda had. But, that was only to be expected. After being locked in a cage since her birth, all to be trained up as a soul slave… the twins were the face of her saviors. Dyon was rarely around, so how could she be blamed for seeing it this way?

“In light of today’s matters, I’ll be implementing something I’ve been thinking about for a long time now.

“Those who’ve given their all for the benefit of the Mortal Alliance cannot be forgotten, even in death. On the date of Mia and Bella’s funeral, I’ll be erecting The Arc of Humanity. It will be a monument that stands as the highest peak within the territory of our Alliance, those found breaking this rule will be executed!”

Dyon’s words were like a clap of thunder. But, everyone remained silent.

“Both Mia and Bella’s names will be the first to be etched upon this monument…”

The following days went as Dyon planned. Mia and Bella’s funeral was held just a week later. After the procession ended, The Arc of Humanity was revealed.

It was a massive obelisk that stretched several kilometers into the sky. It shone a brilliant, gorgeous red, rose-gold. If others came to know that Dyon used much of the Red Mercury he procured from the golden flame mystical world on this, maybe they would call him a fool. But, Dyon refused to shortchange the twins.

Dyon used moon and star jade to etch a beautiful formation across its body, giving the rose-gold obelisk patterns of silver and gold. No matter how many years passed, as long as The Arc of Humanity wasn’t attacked, it would whether the test of time.

At the very top, two names sat side by side. They were written in such beautiful script that one could almost see the innocent smiles of their owners shining through the very characters that etched their names…

… The names of Mia and Bella Sacharro.
