Outside the cold greeted her and with every breath that she took she could see it. Emily stood just outside of the castle near the door, beside her Talos sat patiently with his tail flicking back and forth. Emily looked over her shoulder as she heard the doors close, Cambria came out dressed in more appropriate attire for the weather. In her hands she held a coat and she held her hands out towards Emily. "Here," she said then smiled. "You will need this, it will only get colder."
"Thank you." Emily took the coat from her then put it on. It was a snug fit and she could already feel warmer, she buttoned the front of it then lifted the hood up. "Well if you are ready then we shall be off!" Cambria said, when Emily nodded she began to make her way down the stairs, Emily followed and Talos remained beside her.
The cemetery was a twenty minute walk from the town and it was surrounded by it's own wall. As they walked Cambria explained that it was to keep grave robbers from entering it late at night and that it was better to have a wall to protect their buried. As Cambria approached the gate of the cemetery the guards that stood outside of it brought their attention to them. "We are here to visit, will you allow us entry?" She asked and she had to say no more, the guards opened the gate for them to enter.
When she stepped inside Emily suddenly became anxious, she had seen so much death recently and now being surrounded by the dead terrified her. Knowing that someone could bring them back to life, control them, she only hoped that no one could ever gain entry to this place. With her little knowledge she did not know that spells could be cast to prevent such a thing from occurring.
They walked in silence then stopped in front of two graves, Cambria bent down bringing her hand to them to brush away snow. "Here," she said then stood up straight. "Do you wish to be alone? I know that... You never were able to grieve." She looked at Emily waiting for an answer. "Yes, please..." Emily said then she brought herself to crouch in front of the graves. Cambria hesitated to leave her for a moment then she looked over at Talos and commanded him to follow her, then they left Emily alone.
"How could I forget you two?" She muttered quietly to herself, then she brought herself to her knees and rested her hand against her mother's grave. "How could I forget all of this? How can I still not remember so much? What is wrong with me?" Cambria was right, she had never had time to grieve. Even when she had remembered bits and pieces of her past she had never had time to grieve except for this very moment, she had only cried perhaps a few times but it was always briefly. Right now she felt incredibly weak and she could not help but begin to cry and soon she was sobbing to herself. After some time Emily leaned back away from the grave then brought her hands to her face. It was as if she could no longer cry, her face felt terrible sore and she took a deep breath. "Damn..." She said under her breath and all she could do was stare helplessly at their graves.
