In Hel district there is a cemetery.

Inside it, a headstone lies. A place where those mourning their loved ones who are not buried in Asgard. To all those who have lost someone in their respective realms and have no grave, no headstone to visit and pay their respects to.

It is found near a tree unto which a triskele is carved.

[ and that is the whole message. yep. ]

I'm glad you found a way to make this possible, Morgana-san.

[veneficus]

I vowed to myself not to rest until I would see it done.

[ not that she can rest now, but still. ]

This is not the only loss we have to experience in this place unfortunately

however it is still the most positive change I can recall to have transpired

I thank you for that

This city is built upon loss and lies.

[ she is unused to this, people giving her thanks. The new memories leave her with the knowledge that people curse her name. ]

Of course.

[unhappymeal]

That's a kind gesture.

[veneficus]

A necessary one.

[ some would say she forgot her kindness; she would like to believe it, too. Kindness is weakness in her world, after all. ]

[likethelight]

Is that something you did?

[text]

[veneficus]

Myself and Mithian had discussed it with the caretaker of the cemetery. He had given us a plot, I have done the rest.

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[5thchild]

A grave to remember those that are gone.

[ there is a gentle smile and a nod.

And the following questions will be rather blunt if not private. ] Those you mourn and those you have left.

Would you wish to see them again, if that was possible?

[ ᴛᴇxᴛ ]

[veneficus]

I would.

But those from beyond the veil.

They are not as they were in their life.

[ then she tore it, she had learned this much. ]

[A loving, compassionate gesture. That's more like the Morgana he remembers.]

Who is it you mourn? [She, who claims to care for none of them]

video;

[veneficus]

My sister.

She had given her life for the war to free magic.

Morgana.

[That's all she says, and as much as she wants to use video, she also doesn't want to scare Morgana away if she's being deliberately avoided. She'll make do with this for now.]

[ She feels cold dread rising up her throat; her hands tighten into fists, knuckles white against the sheets of her bed. She had hoped not to come to this so early, she is not ready. She is unsure she'll ever be. She is not who this girl remember, there is something dark and angry and hateful and ruthless inside her, something that rips the fabric of the sheet, something that tries to push her not to answer, say nothing.

Her heart says speak. ]

Nakama.

You have returned.

[starkbastard]

My thanks for letting us know of it. Was it your doing to see that the people of this realm have a place to mourn their lost ones?

[Jon is more used to crypts, but a headstone will certainly do. There are many to mourn after all.]

text;

[veneficus]

It was. I had no place to mourn for my family before this.

[text]

[soulcontracts]

Stupid.

[text]

[veneficus]

A very touching self-portrait, certainly.

And a waste of my time.

[childofthewickedday]

A triskele...

[veneficus]

For my sister, Mordred; who was a Priestess of the Old Religion.

[Text]

[talking_dead]

What's a triskele?

[Text]

[veneficus]

A mark of the Old Religion, three conjoined spirals. You will see it if you ever visit the cemetery at Hel.

[dragonspeak]

It's kind of you to share that when you could have kept it for your own comfort.

[The one line contains several messages that he knows Morgana will hear, after everything they've talked about. "There is still kindness in you." "I haven't given up yet." "You've lost someone. I'm still here if you want to talk." ]

[voice] | Private

[veneficus]

[ Look, she'll talk to you. ]

There's no need for compliments, Merlin, I do not require them.

[ jo actually reads over this a few times, thinking of her mom each and every one. it was nice of morgana, really was, even if it brought up thoughts and things of which jo has been trying to ignore.

and maybe it's just a feeling, but it seems a little...different. ]

Did something happen? When you went home?

[text]

[veneficus]

I did not go home

[ Not really, only in mind. ]

[minifridge]

[So uncertain.]

That's beautiful.

We can bring flowers their for our fathers.

text/private;

[veneficus]

We could.

Only you and I.

[ progress. Mary she'll have. The others, not so much. ]
