Military Funeral

The sound of a slow lone horn was heard during the rise of dawn from the east. The flags of Ress were being placed at half mast when they were being raised. 

The preparations were made as officers all in formal attire waited patiently at individual homes as their family members performed their last moments of mourning in private. 

Only when it was at the allocated time, did the officers knock on their doors and request that they had to move the coffins out. The family members nodded their heads as they ushered the officers dressed in pure white to carry the coffin as per military protocols. From their respectful carry and slow formal march, the officers took pride in holding the coffin of the deceased. 

This was especially grave as Jin and Gara had decided to be part of the first coffin bearers for No.4. After the first 100 metre march then the other Commando Mages would take over their shifts to carry the coffin of No.4 to the military cemetery.
