Marlo Kerr: ::Veiled sari clad woman in blue walked along with him, fingers curled within his as they walked along the way to the Manor then to the meadow. The few there she saw, a silent nod of greeting as they came toward the gathering::

Makayla Monroe: ::she moved to a safe distance.. taking Sunny from the nanny... she held him tightly... he might not understand but it was his father and he needed to remember one day:::
QuinnRiordan: long grass as the others came into the meadow to pay their respects. Hands drawn behind him, he'd created a sort of zone around himself, as if he preferred not to be disturbed:

India D Hunter: you'll never be forgotten.... thanks for being my friend
Nathaniel Drakon: ::There was a darkness buried deep in Nathan's gaze, two pyre's in two nights, one stirring a deadly rage within in, the other a deep sadness, though a common thread that two had perished so young::
India D Hunter: *she turns then, her green gaze filling with tears and she smiles tremously to Justin*
Justin Blood: ::He removed a mans ring that had ruby for a stone and gold band nothing fancy..He took Indys hand and turned her to face him and lays it in her hand:: To rememember him with..I know he would want ya to have this

India D Hunter: *looking back to Bo she smiles then turns and walks back to the edge of everyone else, walking beside Justin*
CJ Ehren: :;with temi at his heel he made his way to the pyre. A somber look upon his visage he entered the area..and kept to the back. Hands clasped before him, he motioned to temi to kneel at his side::
Lukas Falconaire: A man who we were all proud to have in our lives, even if for a short time
Justin Blood: ::He put an arm around Mickey and looks to Lukas::
India D Hunter: *she smiles to Sunny and smooths the lad's hair out of his eyes*

Nathaniel Drakon: ::His gaze drifted from the wagon to Lukas as he spoke::
Marlo Kerr: ::Looking over to Lukas as she listened::
CAM temione: ::follows quietly two paces behind his left heel and kneels beside him, not looking around::
Lukas Falconaire: And a man who I will consider a warrior of Schendi even though he didn't make it quite that far
Lukas Falconaire: He was called to the City of Dust too young .. But he will never be forgotten, nor is it forever
Lukas Falconaire: ::Free women in ceremonial garb came in a neat line to sprinkle oils on the pyre::
Justin Blood: ::His jaw muscles would tighten then release then tighen all over again..He made sure Mickey and Sunny were ok::
Jase Falconaire: ::he stood at attention at the back ... his hands behind his back as he continued to watch and listen::
Lukas Falconaire: This is not a traditional pyre .. Bo was unique as our own Justin
Lukas Falconaire: And will need his very own version, straddling two cultures of our world
Justin Blood: ::He grins a tad and nods::
Lukas Falconaire: ::The ladies did their work silently, covering the wood and fabric with the fragrant oils that would cause a perfect level of burning::
Lukas Falconaire: The pyre is his wagon .. His bosk and his slave to accompany him there
Lukas Falconaire: And his kailla
Lukas Falconaire: Before we leave him to silence, memory, and fire .. Are there any who would like to say something about our brother, Bo

India D Hunter: *she smiles tremously hearing Justin*
CAM temione: ::just listens quietly, occasionally stealing a glance up at Master CJ::
Justin Blood: Last thing is that he wouldn't want us to stay sad to long because he was full of life and to him life is all about living
Lukas Falconaire: ::He grinned and nodded::
JStrikerStorm: ::he kind of smiled hearing Justins words::
Nathaniel Drakon: ::One black boot shifted against the ground and a slow grin formed to the corner of His mouth hearing Justin, His gaze moving to the wagon and then back to him::

Lukas Falconaire: ::He took a torch then as nobody else spoke up and lit it with a satisfying WHOOSH::
Lukas Falconaire: ::As the oils had soaked in well, the pyre was ready::
Lukas Falconaire: ::He took a step to Justin and offered him the torch to light the pyre, as his closest kin::
Makayla Monroe: ::she stepped back as the flames took over... spiraling into the night sky..:::
Nathaniel Drakon: ::There was a hard line of His jaw as He watched, His eyes drifting to the wagon as the flames erupted::
Marlo Kerr: ::Feeling just sick inside sending off one more to Dust. she watched the torch going from Lukas to Justin::
Justin Blood: ::He steps to Lukas taking the torch and moving to the wagon and lite the other trail of oils to set the wagon, and animals to blaze:: Rest well my dear son
Lukas Falconaire: ::He stepped back::
Justin Blood: ::He stood there lighting the wagon next and feeling the heat from the flames rush him::
Jase Falconaire: ::he shifted his weight from one foot to the other ... his eyes remained on the wagon and Justin::
Justin Blood: ::Then tossing the torch he moved back to Mickey and held his arms out for his grand son::
Colum L Hunter: :: a fist to his shoulder given in respect as he somberly watches the flames flicker and rise::
Makayla Monroe: ::handing Sunny over to Justin... she took a breath... and began to sing a song of the Tuchuks...the traditional Blue Skies::
Sydney BIack: ::Sorrow glimmered in her eyes as she silently watched, resting veiled cheek against the side of his arm, sending a prayer to the Kings for those that loved and honored the man::
Lukas Falconaire: ::As the flames took over, he watched them lick over the wood first, then begin to spread .. He too thumped a fist to his chest in tribute::
Lukas Falconaire: Hail Bo!
CJ Ehren: ::he lifted a fist to hit at His chest ::Hail Bo!
Karisma Kalran: ::Kari spoke a few silent words in prayer to the Priest Kings.::
Nathaniel Drakon: ::Dark gray eyes slanted to Micky hearing her sing, His own fist thudding against His chest in respect::
Pierre le Nord: Hands shifted, taking her hand in his other one, his arm going around her shoulders as he watched.
Makayla Monroe: ::her voice quivering at first... then steadying into a mellow alto... she sand of great warriors who had passed before... their spirits welcoming another soul into their patrols of the sky:::
Justin Blood: ::He took Sunnys litte fist and pound it to his chest up in the air listening to Mickey::
JStrikerStorm: ::his fist going to his chest::Hail Bo
Jase Falconaire: ::he slammed a fist to his shoulder in salute to one of their own ... a citizen of Schendi ... a warrior::
India D Hunter: *she turns looks of Colum's hand briefly, slipping Bo's ring to her finger, curling her fingers too keep it on, then slips her hand back into her brother's* be happy Bo... *quietly* your aim was bad but your heart true
Lukas Falconaire: ::He listened to the song as he remained silent now::
Makayla Monroe: :fingers of fire rose sending sparks on high... maybe it was the smoke that caused it.. but the sky seemed to light up with a million shooting stars:::
India D Hunter: *she had spoken of the one time Bo had accidentally kissed her nose*
CAM temione: ::watches the flames::
Dodger D Cage: ::She watched the flames leap to the sky and silently sent a prayer out to follow his spirit::
Maisa Amari: :softly Maisa joined the song, her soprano voice adding the harmony... though her hands were oddly empty::
Makayla Monroe: ::the song at an end... his spirit sent to join his brothers guarding us all from above:::
Justin Blood: (Sunny) Aptu ::Which means in Gor father::
Makayla Monroe: ::she took a deep breath and stepped back into the haven of Justins free arm:::
Justin Blood: ::He wraps his arm around MIckey:: That was beautiful love
Lukas Falconaire: ::He smiled over to MIckey, then his eyes went back to the pyre, watching again as the flames began to recede
Lukas Falconaire: ::
Makayla Monroe: ::she smiled up at him.. her eyes brimmed with tears reflecting the flames:::
Justin Blood: Yea Indy his aim was off ::He winks to her::
Lukas Falconaire: ::And when the flames slowly died down, the ashes would be cast to the winds, to be absorbed again into nature::
QuinnRiordan: :Arms folding, one hand moved up to cover the lower part of his face, but he continued to seemingly stare at the ground. The scent, sounds, and amount of heat told him what he needed to know:
India D Hunter: *she smiles looking to Justin* it was a fine memory
Justin Blood: ::He turns making sure his other son was ok::
Nathaniel Drakon: ::His fingers slipped from His woman's and His arm snaked around her, His hand curling against her waist as He held her to His side, His eyes moving back to the dying flames::
Justin Blood: ::He hands Sunny to Mickey:: Be right back
Makayla Monroe: ::Sunny clung to her.. hiding his face in her hair:::
Karisma Kalran: ::Soft brown eyes held to the flames in silent respect::
Dodger D Cage: ::She looked to Justin then , her eyes moist yet as her gaze lingerd upon the father. Tenderness touched her expression::
Makayla Monroe: ::she shushed him as he started to whimper... ::: your Daddy will be watching over you always little one ::she stroked the back of his head:::
CJ Ehren: ::he unclasped his hands and motioned to temi to heel. His steps took him over to Makayla and Sunny. A sad smile touched upon his lips and filled his eyes as he spoke low::Ya alright Lass?::offering her a hand to lean on with
CJ Ehren: Justin moving away::
CAM temione: ::rising to her feet, she follows on his heel::
Justin Blood: ::He moved to Quinn and cleared his throat letting him know who it was:: Son ya ok?
Marlo Kerr: ::Watching the fire engulf the wagon, finality of death and new life beginning beyond. Marlo looked up at Nathan when his arm came around her. Small smile before looking back to the wagon, leaning into him::
Makayla Monroe: ::she nodded... trying not to sniffle... ths was a celebration of his life.. although it was such a loss :: thank you CJ
CJ Ehren: ::he nodded and let her lean on him. Smiling down to the child that clung to her::
QuinnRiordan: :When his head came up a bit, he looked fine aside from a certain amount of green to his color. Not aiming his eyes to Justin, since there would be no focusing even if he did, but he nodded a little: Er...yes. Just, been awhile...
QuinnRiordan: :Leaving it at that: Your words were well said.
Lukas Falconaire: Save me a paga in the City of Dust, Brother Bo
Justin Blood: ::He put one arm around his son Quinn and gave him a hug:: Its ok to show ya feelings my son
Lukas Falconaire: ::He dismissed the free women for now who had done the ceremonial annointing of the pyre::
QuinnRiordan: :It was returned, something said low to his father since it might not make sense to anyone else:
