#pennedpossibilities 1022 — How would your MC like to be remembered after their death? What sort of legacy would they want to leave?

A black leopard stood to the side at the front of a gather assembledge. "Witness before you, John Brecken Sandwolf Nadia of Summersun Nata Akon Clan. A father, a brother, a lifemate, a soldier, and a champion for those less fortunate. He is survived by his lifemate, his blood and adopted daughters and friends. But today we send his spirit on to the next life in the flames of life and death."

His daughters, Genoa, Rósbeag, and Lilebeag approach the pyre of dried wood and each places a burning torch to the wood beneath the graywolf laying in state. As they step away, the flames begin to burn the dry wood under his lifeless form, consuming the pyre. He becomes shrouded in flames and smoke and ash rise in the immense heat into the evening sky. An Anikawi doe began keening a wail of sorrow. His daughters joined her high pitched keening with their own howls and cries.

Behind them stood crying a large white and a black white striped badger, a mouse gray wolf, a tan wolf with a tinker made leg, a piebald doe, a humanoid deer, a black leopard female, and many others that his life had touched upon.

As the fire began to draw down to embers and John’s remains had been consumed. The black leopard spoke again, "Let him be remembered as an honorable wolf who looked out for and defended the less fortunate, fought for justice, honored those before him, served his family well and truthfully with love and kindness. When he prospered, he gave back as much in equal value, never taking. The Dream will miss him ten fold, in his absence we are all changed. But not lost, for he showed us all, a new way." The leopard stepped to the grieving doe. Kissed her lightly on the cheeks and hugged her tightly. He whispered, "He was my friend."
