A part in the game

[Eon's POV: ]

The ceremony went on for half a day and at the end of it, we paid homage to the deceased.

'It was a bad event, and sorrow saturated the atmosphere.'

There were many things that we could have done if we had even a little more time than we did. I could have done much better than what we did in that situation.

The way was a sudden surprise and I know we did what we had to but… the people, their families, the children and the ones who had lost their partners and had nothing else to live for…

'The darkness in the eyes of the ones who seemed to have lost everything that they cared about, everything dear to them, everything that gave them a reason to live… it was painful looking at them even for me.'

We did what we had to and I did my best to limit the damage, but they wouldn't know that.

'They were cursing us, cursing them. Some were going to leave this nation forever, leave the home they had lived in for their entire lives.'
