Go To


1	* The deaths of Edward and Edmund Canmore...
2	** Edmund is the "last" victim of the last huge battle with the Mongols, taking seven days to succumb to his injuries...
3	-->'''Edward''': Edmund, if ye do nae believe in God.... what do ye think will happen to ye when ye die?\
4	'''Edmund''': Who knows. ''([[DissonantSerenity surprisingly peaceful]])'' I have studied much of death, one can hardly live in Egypt and nae. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Some believe the mind plays a final trick, creating infinity in a moment, giving a man more joy than we can believe exists and distracting him from the end]]. Others think we just...stop. Others believe our bodies return to dust, and eventually the dust becomes something again--an animal, a man, who knows, maybe a tree! ''(laughs playfully)'' I dinnae know, and I honestly dinnae care. I have lived more in my life than 1000 men, and I have confessed my only regret to the only man whose opinion matters. I sit here in a City we conquered, my sons' futures assured and my life lived well. I sit in the sun with my beloved brother, and I think to myself...[[GreatWayToGo this is nae a bad way to die at all. Nae, it's nae a bad way to die at all]].\
5	''Edward and Edmund sat in silence for several minutes watching the sun set, and when Edward finally turned to speak again, he saw Edmund sitting with a small smile on his face, staring with unseeing eyes into the desert.''\
6	'''Edward''': Nae Edmund. It's nae a bad way to die.
7	** About a month later, Edward goes to bed and after a little bit feels like he's on a boat. Turns out what Edmund said about "a final trick" came to pass...
8	--->'''Young!Edmund''': King Edward...\
9	'''Edward''': ''(smiling regardless)'' Edmund, what is this?\
10	'''Young!Edmund''': God is calling ye home, Edward. And I have been waiting for ye.\
11	'''Edward''': Nae, nae! It's nae the right time, I still have so much work t--\
12	'''Young!Edmund''': Ye work is done, and others remain to finish it for ye. ''(puts a hand on Edward's shoulder)'' Now it is time for the Canmore Brothers to go on one last great adventure.
13	*** And they GoIntoTheLight with one incredibly awesome thought:
14	---->'''Edward''': Edmund?\
15	'''Young!Edmund''': Aye, Edward?\
16	'''Edward''': Do you think there'll be women?
17	* The death of Domnall as well, especially when combined with [[Music/BlindGuardian "The Eldar"]].
18	-->'''Domnall''': "I'm so proud of the man ye became Aodh, and Father would be too.. and Uncle... but the story of my death is the story of my life.... I was nae Edward Canmore."
19	-->'''Aodh''': "Aye... ye were better."
20	* Nevin of Shetland's death.
21	-->"I '''will''' see ye again, Nevin of Shetland," Aodh insisted, and Nevin nodded weakly,"I '''WILL''' see ye again!"
