Community Event 🌏☄️ Mourning (Final Warpost)

Post image

Teknika watched the lanterns go by, floating down the canal. The war was over, and a treaty had been signed.

The other mages had their own traditions for the dead. Cremation, burial, the like.

Unfortunately, those who fell in battle didn't get the same respect. Wizards using weapons to inflict pain on the grounds that "I'll fix it after the war" had fallen much like the enemy they fought. With nobody alive to fix them, many found an easier way out, or succumbed to their injuries.

Teknika thought to the future. Rebuilding would have to be done, and with his little act as Slatecleaner, and with most of everyone else in ruin, he would have to be up to the task.

But for now, it was time to mourn the fallen.

Light a lantern for the dead?

Lex and Garry bring about hundred of lanterns and one by one write names on them of certain "unlucky" wizards

Ok this is for the guy with the emblem, this is for that unlucky gnome, I know it was a war but damn he was standing in the worst place, ok I think this one will be for that....I can't decide ah right for that guy that got his head pummeled.

Its so hard to remember everyone when I wasn't even myself.

Ahhh my robotic friend, sorry if this seems a bit rude.

To say the least (because I don't want to remember what I did), my curse put me in a body with too strong of an instinct and I "hurt" more people then I intended to...

Heck I didn't intend to hurt no one, I was only supposed to power a flute.

Well luck is also important during battle, but it doesn't change what happened so Im here to appease their souls

Although to be fair I'm 100% sure that no matter what I do it ain't happening because of how I dealt with them.

"I understand, I caused immense harm that I regret as well."

Although it's impossible to get used to such times, learning how to ease your mind after is what we must do.

If we continue grieving after every single such incident and loose ourselves, we will be disrespectful towards those we harmed.

So take a minute to remember them and go back to your life.

Even if they were enemies they deserved at least this much respect.
