The people of Howellstead were uncertain, caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do.

However, once Robin and the others completed the memorial for Santiago, the first to step forward were the village's veterans-those who had served in the military. Gradually, others joined them, cautiously approaching the small courtyard where the fallen soldier's

memorial stood

By the portrait of their son, Crispin and Skye stood, tears welling up in their eyes. They could hardly believe they were standing here, finally able to lay their son to rest,

Just the day before, they had been told that Santiago's ashes would be brought, but they had been dealing with the crisis of the Draven Group forcibly taking their land, leaving them in despair. Crispin and Skye had feared that, by the time Santiago's ashes returned, they wouldn't even have a place to honor him properly.

This modest piece of land-the home where Santiago had grown up-was all they had left, the only place they could think of as fitting for his memorial.

Despite the humble two huts and makeshift fence, it was here that Santiago had spent his childhood.

But now, Santiago was gone.

As parents, they longed to give him one last resting place.

Standing before the memorial, they felt a flicker of comfort, knowing that Santiago had a place to rest close to home.

Turning to Robin, Crispin's eyes overflowed with gratitude. Without his help, there would have been nowhere to honor their son.

Shaking. Crispin reached for Skye's hand and hobbled toward Robin, his legs buckling as he tried to kneel in front of him.

Robin swiftly caught him, gently pushing against the gesture. "Mr. Crispin, please, there's no need for this."

"Sir, thank you! Thank you for giving us a place to lay Santiago's ashes, Crispin choked out, his voice breaking.

"Santiago always dreamed of being a soldier. I remember when he was just three years old, he told me he would grow up to wear the uniform, protect our country, and fight on the battlefield? He said he would protect our people and be a great soldier!

"Santiago kept his word, he continued. "He made us the proudest family in Howellstead,"

"Thank you so much! Without you, we wouldn't even have a place to put his memorial, Crispin's sobs grew louder, tears streaming down his face.
