Zechariah's emergency treatment lasted an entire day and night, but he still passed away in bed in the end.

Grand Old Master Yorks presided over Zechariah's funeral. That day, the villagers raised Zechariah's body and leaned it against a block of wood. They stood around his body chanting prayers with the religious leader. Women clad in plain white clothes danced around Zechariah's body to bid him farewell.

Judy, Zechariah's daughter, knelt in front of Zechariah in her mourning garment. She was wailing her heart out.

Grand Old Master Yorks read the eulogy out loud, "Life may be short but it is resplendent like the flowers in summer. Zechariah has made great contributions to Doomsday. He's a hero in Doomsday-Mount Pearl's patron saint. Now, with great reverence, let us bid farewell to our patron saint.

"Today, Mount Pearl has lost its patron saint, but fortunately, Zachariah and his wife have given us the clever and bubbly Judy who is not only beautiful but also great at medicine and combat. On behalf of all 108 Yorks Stronghold's villagers, I grant Judy, Zechariah's one and only descendant, the title of 'Mount Pearl Saintess'. We hope that Saintess Judy will carry on
