____________
Palace of Horus / Backyard
Weather - Raining /
Kingdom's important people gather in two groups. All of them wears black uniform.
The group gathered before a symbol of an honorable person. A symbol in the form of a statue of a strong woman holding a spear who once led humanity in darkness; Spear of Testant.
In front of the Spear Saint's grave, everyone couldn't help but cry.
The Queen of Palace of Horus even needs help of a wheelchair to attain the funeral. Her daily prideful face replaced with a skinny face with two black lines running down from the eye bags to her face.
The Forr King of Eria, Troy the Gluttony, only wears pants, which ans he is bare-chested in his buffed form. It actually seed unethical, considering he was at soone's funeral. But so people think that it is a punishnt for himself, for not being there when the war took place.
The current King of Eria, Ars the Greed, co with two of his wives. The Blonde Young Lady, and Silvered Knight.
The King of Eria beca the first to to pay their last respects. He walks to the tomb, take out one Sword of Testant, the Symbol of Sword Saint, then said:
"I hope you can sacrifice yourself like this old lady soday for humanity, old man."
After that, he thrust the Sword of Testant in front of the Symbol of Spear Saint.

The final tributes are still being offered.
The rain began to subside. The phantasm sun for a mont showed a reddish glow for the 3rd Floor.
The current King and the forr King standing next to each other, with the forr King stood with his back to the funeral.
"Don't worry. I no longer bla anyone for everything that happened. Let it pass all that has passed."
Ars said that, but Troy still felt so guilty.
"I ca down to this floor with an ambition in mind, that I will take over this floor too. But none of this was in my expectation."
"We didn't expect your craziness either."
The craziness that took Ars' left hand. He risked his life in order to save Elisa. Elisa was saved. He is also still alive. But the price to be paid is very high, if the wars are included.
"I've read all the data regarding all the [Floor Conquest Expedition]. And I don't see a single record that doesn't involve a Saint in it."
The last active Light Saint has died. That left not a single Saint left to help the Abyssal Hunter.
"What about Sword Saint? You know where he is, right?"
Troy finally got up to date about the Sword Saint's condition from Soul Saint and Ars' conversation yesterday.
"Even if I get to find him, I can still bring a deadman to a battlefield."
The day that Satria left Sword of Testant to him, that was the day that Ars considers the Sword Saint was dead long ago.
Ars took a tired breath.
"Let's end this conversation. Eria needs rest and a long healing period before she can be invited to move forward."
After saying all that, Ars walking ho to his new castle.
Leaving Troy in question.
"What if all this is actually in your script?"

So ti after the war ended by Ars /
On a certain roof, there are ten ladies gathered in tears.
"Kiana! Hang in there!"
"Can soone do sothing with the hole in her belly?!"
The Valkyries all panic, because they about to lose one of them.
"I'm sorry! This is because of !"
"It's okay, Leena. Kiana did it to save you and she did it."
The current leader of the sisters, Kiana, previously risked her life to save her sister. The price she had to pay was a hole in her stomach.
"Please stay with us, Kiana!"
The sisters did their best to heal the unhealed wound.
The patient, Kiana, coughing blood and her look begin to fade.
In that painful condition, she calls out soone.
"Diana... Diana.."
Her shaking violently right hand was trying to grab sothing.
The person she called took her hand and replied:
"I'm here."
Diana took Kiana's cold hand to her cheek. She tried to give the dying body a warmth of her heart.
"Diana... I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was... cough-cough..., trying to throw you from the family. I'm sorry..."
Diana tried to focus to not to cry. But she failed. Her tears flowed profusely. She tried to endure the pain by kissing Kiana's hand.
"It's okay. I won't bla you. It's just a misunderstanding, and I always think of you as my family."
Kiana's vision began to fade, but her ears took Diana's ssage well.
"Thank, you."
Kiana's strength left her body. She finally closed her eyes in sincerity.
A second after her soul left her body, her body begins to disintegrate into thousands of light particles.
[Death]
One of them has returned to the source of life.
Now there are only nine of them left.
It wasn't the first ti they had lost a family mber, but they still cried like children over a loss of soone important.

Eight Valkyries standing on the sand ground, facing their past. One of them is in a chair, sitting in pain in her heart and stomach.
One of them stepped forward, standing in the front. After that she took out one [Gryphon Whistle]. Then blow the whistle loudly.
Fwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt~
Normally, the Gryphon Whistle will call out a Gryphon. However, that one whistle will not call them because the Gryphon has died together with the owner.
The nine Valkyries took their own [Whistle]. Then they together blow it out to call for their Magical Beast.
Nine Gryphons appeared in their owner's summons. But they did not down to the owners. Nine of them fly from their owners back to the sky.
Offering final respects to the dead.
With that, they will be able to face the future without worrying about the past.
