Chapter 16: Funeral

She was killed by the Three Horn.

Quynh's funeral was brief, but meaningful. Her body was cremated in the Taoist temple, placed into a dragon runed canister. Her death triggered many meaningful thoughts and events.

Raluhn left the Guang Hu world, and entered the Ministry. Unable to attend to funeral, he sent his condolences and someone to aid in his place, a Magister by the name of Julia. Quynh, never one to let death stop her, sent aid in the form of a guardian angel by the name of Melissa. Her coming was heralded by the monks as a great event. She was named the Great Sage, and adored by many.

After the funeral and the great commotion caused by the coming of the Great Sage Melissa, the party set out for Yuelan.
They had business with this Antipheros. Indeed, he was the 'dead' Magistrate of Saelan, the Jewel of the South that fell five hundred years ago during the Neogi Invasion.
The best source for information on him was the Governor's Historical Library in Yuelan City. They needed to pay Governor Lung a visit anyway.

After a long journey with a pair of fawning scribes in tow, they reached Yuelan.
The scribes had infact, spread much word about the 'coming of the Great Sage' and began writing a great book about her and her companions. Indeed, with old friends gone, and the coming of the Great Sage, a new phase in the story had just begun.
