Today we put my niece to rest, I've attended other funerals over the last few years, many people have died in my time as a capsuleer. I've lost crewmen, neighbours and friends who never trod the capsuleer pathway but as for family, well the last people who died were my grand parents and that happened when I was very young.
There were flowers everywhere, the coffin was strewn with petals so that its lid was hardly visible beneath them, my brother had spared no expense to make the place as beautiful as it could be. I inwardly cried through the speeches but I would and could not let my mask of serenity fall, my brother needed my strength, I would not let him down. But as I held back my tears the burning sensation in my chest grew this sensation was not sorrow it was anger.
The coffin was carried from the entrance hall of our mansion where it was placed in a transport craft and lifted to the south side of town, where the town meets the desert, then it was set upon a pyre. As the flames engulfed the coffin my brother came to me and we embraced his own mask now fell to the ground and his sorrow overwhelmed him.
It is not a day I am likely to forget and I feel in many ways it has brought our family closer together however the cost of this day, the life of one of our own lies heavy in our hearts. The Serpentis will pay a heavy fee for what has happened, mark my words.
