The old baron's funeral was held at 10 Pea Street.
No more people attended.
Jason, Taniel, Bondi, Holle, and Finch were all present.
In the underground hall, the tents had been taken down.
There were two added gravestones.
One belonged to the old baron.
The other to his servant Eric.
Just as in life, even in death, Eric remained ever at the baron's side.
Not much was inscribed on the tombstones.
Besides their names, there was only a sentence: "Heroes who protected Lorde and his brave servant."
Bundles of fresh flowers were placed in front of both gravestones.
The first to offer flowers was Taniel, as the inheritor of 10 Pea Street.
Jason was the last one.
Two bunches of white chrysanthemums.
One bunch was placed in front of Eric's tombstone.
As he placed the other in front of the old baron's gravestone, Jason pulled 'Starshine' from his pocket and laid it next to the flowers.
By then, 'Starshine' had long lost its glimmer.
