The Funeral Dirge

The Funeral Dirge

Raemus, with the help of his officers Kadrin and Anderson, capture Gellar Elias. Raemus and his officers are punished for disobeying their orders. Raemus, seething with vengeance and resentment towards Elias, asks The Council to "correct" him - meaning to erase the corrupt DNA in his body. The three officers torture Elias and stuff his broken body in an equipment crate, after injecting him with a serum that begins to melt his body. They take a ship to the outer atmosphere of Genetia and push the crate out. As Elias slowly dies, the crate careens down to a lake below. His body is broken and melting. As the serum begins to break down his brain, he hears a song deep in his consciousness. It acts as a lullaby for his physical form and guides him to the next plane of consciousness.

Pray, pray for your brothers

They walk alone

Your journey is over

Let us go home

We will go together

Fly, fly with me child

Just close your eyes

Don't fear the darkness

Now is the time

The Cosmos has smiled

Think not of what you have suffered

The pain has gone from you forever

We'll bathe in the icy jets of Enceladus

Then sleep for a while in the arms of the Universe

Think not of your pain, just hear my song

Come back to where you were born from

My tormented love

Can't you hear me singing?

Your time here has ended

A new beginning

In the warmth of the stars above

"Hereafter Elias is no more.

Broken and bloodied he will fly

To a watery grave on the shore

And now, dear brother, we say goodbye".

"May Mother guide him."

"May his spirit find respite."
