Luotian Grand Ceremony
Splendid, so bright and beautiful.
May all the deceased rest in peace, while all survivors be spurred onward.
The usually rough-and-tumble warriors are solemn right now, and look to the Taoist priests.
They all stood up for the cause. They slaughtered the villains. They roused the people.
And so they charged through, believing their path was just, with the stars in heaven watching over everything they did.
The scattering petals blanket the air like haze. Words to mourn the dead sounds like music to one's ears. Only the warriors' proud aspirations reside in their hearts.
...This is like a dream that will soon disappear.
