61 Funeral of a Fallen Hero (1/2)
Having gotten some rest before the funeral Alice went to Yumi's room to talk with her about her time at Nyx's home and all the things that she learned.
”KNOCK KNOCK ”
”Yumi are you there? ” Alice said from the other side of the door.
Opening the door Yumi motioned for Alice to come in while going to lay on her bed clearly depressed.
”I have something to tell you and I think it might make you feel better.. ” Alice said sitting on the bed next to her.
”There is not much you can say that will make me feel better right now Alice. ” Yumi replied, pulling her pillow close to her.
”I think this might, I went to go see Nyx when King Mark left and I learned of a waay you can still see your father. ” Alice said, placing a hand on Yumi's arm trying to get her to turn over.
”My dad is dead, how could I possibly see him again. Nyx cannot bring back the dead from what I know. ” Yumi said softly.
”Nyx asked a Favor of Osia and your father now lives with Nyx in the realm of the Gods. I just got done seeing him not too long ago. There is a way for you to see him still. Nyx said that you will be able to come with me to her domain to see him if you take her as your God and worship her.. ” Alice happily.
Turning over and sitting up Yumi looked at Alice in the eyes, ”You are not just trying to make me feel better are you? How soon can I see my father if I take her as my God? ” Yumi asked, wanting to believe Alice's words.
”I do not know how soon you would be able to go with me to see him but I promise you will get to even if I have to make my mother mad and bring you there without permission. ” Alice said while grabbing Yumi's hand.
”Fine.. I will no longer pray to the God I served and will pray to Nyx from now on.. ” Yumi said hoping that nothing bad would happen from just changing Gods like this.
”Miss Yumi, it is time for your father's funeral. I was sent to come get you girls. ” A knight in white armor said while standing in the doorway.
���Thank you we will meet you downstairs in a moment.. ” Yumi replied while closing her door on him.
”I will let you get ready and meet you at the Gates. Alice said leaving Yumi's room and joining the Knight as he walked down the stairs.
”I saw what you did on the battlefield and I would like to thank you for leading us to victory. ” The knight said to Alice as they got to the carriage outside of the Estate.
”I wouldn't thank me just yet.. I imagine when the Demon King Kira hears about this he will come for me.. ” Alice said, wondering if word had already reached Kira about her wings and her killing two of his men.
”Then I guess for tomorrow's festival you should have as much fun as you can while you still can. ” He replied, opening the carriage door for Alice as Yumi joined them wearing a black dress that hung just above the floor as she walked.
Riding in the carriage both Alice and Yumi looked out the windows and watched as the people they passed by would all wave and show respect to them before they entered the castle gates which had knights lined up along the path.
