Authors Note: Sorry for the shortness of this next chapter, I didn't want to blur things in too quickly. Very sad chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter Eight
"A Good Man's Deathbed"
Fiera woke up at dawn. She felt her husband beside her. She snuggled close to him, only to realize he was ice cold. She quickly sat up and felt his pulse. He had none.
Suddenly Anders came in, Starfire and Blackfire at his heels. They all froze at seeing their father pale white and their mother crying. She motioned for them to come in for a hug. They all hugged and cried together. They looked at Deramus's limp body and hugged again.
The funeral was held in the village cemetery. Deramus had a rock for a tombstone, seeing as their family couldn't afford a marble slab with engravings. The family of four, Renee (remember, she's Anders friend ::wink:J ) and Gordando came to it, all with flowers and other respectful symbols.
Everyone except for Anders and Gordando was crying.
"He was a good man, one of my best friends, he was a loyal one. He will not go forgotten." said Gordando.
"He was a good father and a loving husband, I loved him with all my heart, I just hate to see him go……" she broke down crying and was comforted by Anders.
Starfire was crying and ran into the house. As did Blackfire.
Anders and Fiera were still sitting there, speechless on the fact that their father and husband was really gone.
"You never really appriciate someone until they're gone."
Author's Note: Will their family fall apart without Deramus, find out! Hope that was moving and emotional! Read and Review, I can take flames if you're not a pussy.
