Sorrowful Goodbye

Within the ethereal realm, a somber aura enveloped the luminous groves as the faeries gathered to honor the memory of Caelan. The verdant foliage and vibrant blossoms bore witness to the solemnity that cloaked the realm—a mourning radiance that mirrored the hearts of those who mourned the beloved Caelan.

Eilis stood amidst the luminous congregation, her eyes veiled with grief as she gazed upon the flower-laden bier that cradled Caelan's earthly form. The faerie elders and denizens of the realm, adorned in shimmering attire, paid their respects, their hearts heavy with sorrow at the loss that had fractured their home.

Arian, his noble countenance reflecting a mix of sorrow and resolve, approached Eilis with a solemn grace, seeking to offer solace amidst the tumultuous tide of grief that had engulfed her.

"Eilis," Arian's voice was gentle, carrying a weight of understanding and compassion as he approached her. "May I offer you comfort in this time of mourning?"

Eilis, her eyes brimming with tears, nodded weakly, her heart aching with the pain of loss. "Arian, I'm... I'm not sure how to bear this grief."

Arian stood beside her, a silent pillar of support amidst the mournful congregation. "Caelan was a valiant defender—a guardian whose bravery and sacrifice will forever be remembered in the annals of our realms."

As the faeries paid their respects, offering glowing petals and radiant blossoms as tokens of remembrance, Eilis clutched a delicate bloom, its luminescent petals a reflection of the realm's vibrant beauty—now dimmed by the loss of Caelan.

Arian extended a comforting hand to Eilis, offering a gesture of solace. "Eilis, in times of sorrow, may the unity of our realms and the strength of our spirits be a source of resilience and healing."

Eilis, touched by Arian's empathy, leaned into his offered comfort, finding a fleeting solace in his unwavering presence amidst the sea of grief that surrounded her.

As the funeral procession concluded, the faerie realm echoed with mournful melodies—a hymn of lament that carried the bittersweet memories of Caelan's valor and the loss that had fractured their realm.

Arian remained by Eilis's side, a stalwart companion offering silent support, understanding the weight of her grief and the echoes of loss.
