Castle Of Thorns [Mature]
In Grief
[Verzyne Duchy - Barthof Village]
Raven is on his way to the Brinsley home when he sees Dion running on the pathway toward the castle.
Dion Brinsley
Raven! Thank God you're out. Hurry! Your mother's condition got worse!
Raven hands over the basket filled with fruit to Dion and runs toward Doctor Zeyd's clinic.
Young Raven (ML)
Doctor Zeyd!
Fyodor Zeyd
Raven! Quick, come see your mother. She's looking for you.
When he enters the room, Julia and Katie are already waiting inside.
Julia Brinsley
Come, child.
Mariya looks very weak; It's clear that she's barely hanging there.
Young Raven (ML)
I'm here, Mother...
Mariya Montez
Child, I'm sorry... I'm sorry for being sick...
Young Raven (ML)
No, Mother! It's not your fault! You'll get better!
Mariya Montez
No... I can't... I will follow my husband... and child...
Mariya Montez
You... have to live well... go somewhere else... the castle... don't... the Duchess.........
After uttering some more incoherent words, Mariya finally closes her eyes.
Fyodor Zeyd
I'm sorry, child. You mother has passed away.
Young Raven (ML)
Mother! No!
Raven cries upon hearing the doctor's word.
Dion Brinsley
Raven! Oh no...
Dion, who just arrives, finds Raven crying pitifully by the bedside. He comes into the room and pulls Raven into a hug.
Young Raven (ML)
Dion... my mother... my mother.... huhuhuhu....
Dion Brinsley
Sssh... It's okay.. She's in a better place now...
All the adults present can only watch the boy cries in sorrow.
[Barthof Village's Church]
News travel fast in a small village like Barthof.
In the next day, almost the whole village already heard about Mariya's passing, and those who know her gather in the small village's church to attend the funeral.
Local priest
As we bid farewell to our beloved Mariya Montez, let us hold fast to the memories we shared and the love that binds us together. May her soul rest in peace, and may her child, Raven, find comfort in the embrace of family and friends during this difficult time. Amen.
Raven looks at his mother's face for one last time before the burial. Mariya's body lays still inside the wooden coffin; her face is serene as if she is only sleeping.
Young Raven (ML)
Goodbye, Mother. May you rest in peace and be reunited with father.
He kisses his mother's cold cheek and then lets Lowell, who has been standing by his side, closes the coffin.
The village men proceed to bury Mariya's coffin under a tree near the church's ground.
Young Raven (ML)
What do I do now, Madam Julia? My mother is gone, I'm all alone now...
Julia Brinsley
What do you mean, alone? You still have us. I think of Mariya like my own daughter. Come live with us, Raven.
Dion Brinsley
Yes, yes, you can live with us!
Julia Brinsley
Come on, child. It's almost dark. Let's go home.
Raven looks back at the looming figure of his mother's grave, and remembers her last words.
Mariya Montez
You have to live well....
Young Raven (ML)
I will, Mother. I promise.
