The camera drones floated silently, capturing every angle as the world watched.
Legion Tower’s Sky Deck was draped in banners of gold and black, lined with rows of standing heroes, the funeral of Orion had begun. His coffin hovered in the center, a sleek black sarcophagus etched with stars and his insignia, glowing faintly in the fading light.
Hundreds of people, civilians, heroes, leaders, stood in attendance, eyes turned toward the grand podium where Starman rose, a celestial monument of power in his gold armor. His red cape fluttered in the wind like a flag marking the end of an era.
He didn’t need a microphone. His voice carried like thunder across the world.
“Today, we bury a hero,” Starman said. “A light extinguished before its time.”
His eyes swept the crowd, expression unreadable, eyes glowing faintly red.
