Chapter 14
The next morning, it rained. I got up to look out the window, and it was beautiful outside. The rain only seemed to make the jungle around us look even more mystical and perfect. It was a good morning for Thom's funeral. Strong arms wrapped around my waist, and Jake rested his tear stained face against my shoulder.
"He is at peace now, baby," I said quietly. We cleaned up and put on our dress suits quietly, still honouring the memory of our dear friend. Carter came to our door and told us that everyone was ready for the ceremony. The entire base was drowned in a sorrowful silence, and we walked down to the burial sight. It was a beautiful place. Kat had found a small clearing in the jungle; A little waterfall emptied into a body of water which then flowed down in a stream around the clearing, and right in the middle was where we chose to bury Thom. Grief hung heavily in the air as the dirt was filled into the hole in which Thom lay. His funeral would always stick with me, it was a day no one could forget. His gravestone read:
Here lies
Thomas
2530-2552
He was an honored and trusted Spartan of the Noble Team.
Remember Thom. Remember what he gave to help Reach.
True Spartans Never Die.
In the year 2554, the Human/Covenant war ended. The Humans won, and the Covenant were forced back to a corner of the galaxy, without Reach. The day we won, the whole galaxy shouted with praise. My Team was a team to remember. In the year 2555, Jake asked me to be his wife, and I of course, accepted. We had a stunning wedding, and a beautiful cake. Kat and Carter decided to tie the knot later that year, and we all hung around one base and established it as the NOBLE home. As the months went on, it was time for me to move on and start a different story. Life had been hard during the war, but that was what I wad made for, and boy i was looking forward to a good fight in the future. The Noble Team saved many lives, and spent the rest of theirs defending Planet Reach. They were worth remembering, so please, remember Noble Team. Remember that Spartans Never Die, they only go MIA. Remember how we fought for mankind and drove the Covenant away.
Remember Reach
