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!" |
