The silence was as deafening as it was peaceful. Even the customary bird song in the trees around the memorial garden seemed to have faded into silence out of respect. The grounds of the free world memorial gardens were covered in the lushest green grass with the ocean in the distance perhaps the only movement due to the lack of breeze. 

In these hallowed grounds many well famous and treasured people had been laid to rest. King Agnar of the Viking Nation. Members of the Temp'elar family. Memorials for the genie sisters who had sacrificed there lives to save others. And today one more loved one would be laid to rest. And as seven stood looking over the casket as it was lowered into the ground, he remembered her. His sister Melissa.

Melissa had been one if the first to accept Seven when he arrived at the old kingdom, and growing very close they had stayed in touch even after Seven had left to form his own destiny. Melissa's bind with him had been so strong that she had for a time left the old kingdom and lived in Blackthorn a Town, joining Sevens new family. Either side of Seven stood his son, Calcifer and Luna. Both among the longer standing family members able to remember Melissa's time with the family. 

Calcifer looked across his father to the forlorn looking Luna. Stepping around his father he put his hand on her shoulder. Cal had been very young when his aunty had been around there family home and still young when she had chosen to return to her older home and yet he remembered her well and remembered her as a very kind and sweet women. Despite being just a teenager she always treated him with respect, something he had never forgotten.

As the coffin settled and the dirt began to pile up, each of the temp'elars and others filling it the God Anubis Osiris stood at the head of the grave looking down. He had once been Emperor over Melissa. She had struck him always as a delicate flower in a jungle if chaos and disorder. Someone he could rely on and trust. Someone who did the right thing and never hurt another. "I shall watch over you in the afterlife dear Melissa" he whispered. 

Alongside Anubis as usual was his daughter, Ambrosia. A half sister to Melissa Ambrosia looked on in sorrow. She handed her father a rose taking one if her own and the two stepped forward placing one on her grave. 

The ceremony complete seven stepped forward "Melissa has been and always will be my family. My sister. In the time I can remember she has always had a kind word and a kind smile for me and all of us" he coughed slightly "while most would never know it, she has helped me save this world and none of us would be alive here today if not for her. I've shared many adventures with her. Enjoyed many fun times. But the greatest moment I will ever have experienced with her was the first time she called me brother" he lowered his flower onto her grave. "She may have lived in other places, but now she is back in free world, now she is home". 

The crowd gathered around fell silent in memory of a beautiful person. Inside and out.
