Path of the Depth (2)

On the fourth day, after Jaehwan returned from destroying the Palace, Gorgon Fortress wasn't celebrating the victory. Too many had been injured or died. They had won, but they were tired. They were also not ready for the unexpected turn of events.

It was Jaehwan who put an end to all the uneasiness. On the fourth day, he summoned all the people of Gorgon Fortress and declared, "We will begin the Remembrance of Lost Spirits for three days."

Everyone mumbled to each other. It wasn't a strange thing to do, but it was still shocking. Too many had died to even try and mourn for everyone. But their concern was removed right after a huge cloth, that placed right below the stage where Jaehwan was standing, was uncovered.

There were thousands of caskets, dedicated to all who died in the war. The people were shocked.

When was this all prepared? They then looked up, but Jaehwan wasn't there.

Jaehwan was already descending the steps.
