Raziel knelt solemnly by the freshly covered grave, his heart weighed down with the enormity of his loss.
It was already the next day when he returned to the place that was once his home and buried all the corpses or whatever was left of them.
The soft earth beneath his hands seemed to absorb not just the physical remains of his loved ones but also the depths of his sorrow and resolve.
His cold crimson eyes softened as his determined voice broke the silence, "I will build the strongest kingdom to ever exist in our world over your blood, everyone. You can watch me make you all proud and fulfill my promise. I will build a safe haven here, and nobody shall dare bully us again."
The air around Raziel was heavy with his unspoken grief and the absence of Selene, whose presence he missed dearly. There wasn't even anything left of her to bury.
