Chapter 184 - Prime Minister and King

Gerald and the others all appeared near the outer gates of Portal, Gerald breathing in the colder and more moist air only to scream in pain, shock, and anguish. Tears filled the ground beneath him, and his screams echoed in the very early morning air. Arianna ordered some skeletons nearby to carry the body in honor, but Gerald could do nothing but follow blindly. His mind was a fog of emotion, and it would later boggle his mind that he even had the wherewithal to stand and walk behind the corpse and the bearers as they walked up the hill and up the, now familiar, streets of Portal. Her body was just as beautiful as it had been in life, and it looked free from care. All he could stand to do was close her eyes as they walked, and that only to give her some sense of dignity.
