Days seemed to drag on forever for the devastated Elric, who managed to find enough comfort in the arms of his women and children. He took the day of the funeral especially hard. Thousands of the people of Kerseye showed up to mourn the loss of their beloved second empress. During the ceremony of in entombment where Aalis was laid to rest next to her mother, evey one of the young witches and warlocks that were in her lecture on potion making came forward and placed a bottle of the healing potion that she was in the middle of teaching them how to make when the caldron exploded.
The young man that tried his best to help Solara heal her pierced heart, was chosen by the students to speak on their behalf as they placed the potion bottles.
