Chrysalis

Chapter 628

"What will we do with them?" Morrelia's voice was subdued.

Titus stared unblinking at the five bodies arranged before him.

"They will be returned to their families for burial. If their families do not claim them, or if they requested it themselves, they will be taken to the surface and buried in the Legion memorial in Tanna."

Morrelia turned her head to gaze up at her father.

"There's a Legion memorial?" she'd never heard of such a thing. She hesitated for a moment. "Is that where brother…?"

He nodded grimly.

"We don't bury our dead in the Dungeon. They deserve the light of the surface, not this cursed world below."

The commander stood with his full guard as watch for the fallen Legionaries. Found outside the camp, there had been little mourning, or even surprise when their comrades had been found. Death was part of war and the Abyssal Legion was always at war.

Alberton approached from one side.

"Interesting that they were not eaten," he observed, "most monsters won't pass up the opportunity for Biomass, especially social insects."

Morrelia was shocked by the man's callous attitude but Titus merely nodded.

"This was the abomination's work," he said.

"You are likely to be right," the loremaster agreed. "Either it wanted to send a message, or wasn't ready to feast on its former species."
