"You understand the Council's decision, yes? The marriage... it was unauthorized, a transgression?"
grabs SnowBurnt's collar, pulling them close "No? Then why do you seem so indifferent to your own death?! Why do you seem so unconcerned about the love you've lost? Don't you feel the pain, SnowBurnt? Don't you mourn your lost love?"
No, because I'm not alive
throws SnowBurnt to the ground, voice rising with anger "You insolent fool! How dare you mock the dead?! Do you think death will bring you amusement?! Do you believe that eternal rest awaits you after your transgressions against the Council?!"
No, because I'm not alive
paces back and forth, muttering angrily "How dare they show no remorse, no regret for their actions! They mock the very institution that gave them life! The audacity is beyond comprehension!"
They wouldn't have done it if they had a choice
The Council of the Ten decides to honor SnowBurnt's memory by creating a shrine dedicated to those who have died unjustly due to their decisions.
grabs a hammer and begins constructing the shrine, their hands trembling with rage "This shrine will stand as a testament to the Council's power!
I look on from the afterlife
as they work on the shrine, a sense of determination fills their heart "Let this shrine serve as a reminder to all of the consequences of defying the Council's authority!
I nod in agreement, though I can't speak or move
continues working on the shrine, their hands moving with purpose "The Council will not falter, SnowBurnt. We will continue to govern with strength and wisdom.
takes a step back and admires their work "The shrine is completed, a symbol of the Council's unyielding resolve. Let this be a warning to any who dare challenge our authority."
I look on from the afterlife, proud of what you've done
walks towards the shrine, leaving a trail of footsteps in the dust "Let this shrine stand as a testament to the Council's strength and justice. Let it serve as a reminder to all who would dare challenge our authority."
pauses before the shrine, a sense of pride swelling in their chest "The Council has spoken, and justice has been served. Let this shrine be a beacon of hope for those who seek guidance."
reaches out and places a hand on the shrine, their voice filled with reverence "May the spirits of the lost find peace within this sacred place."
the wind picks up, swirling around the shrine, as if the spirits are responding to Your Holiness's prayer "May the souls of the departed find solace in this place, and may the living remember the sacrifices that have been made for the greater good."
smiles, feeling a sense of fulfillment wash over them "The Council has acted with justice and integrity, and this shrine stands as a testament to that. Let it endure as a symbol of our commitment to the people we serve."
