[Disbandment] Farewells

[Shiho Nishizumi]

The Drauhts were gathered together, sharing a banquet which was unlike many held before. Outstanding both in lavishness and solemnity, it likewise stood out since it marked the last gathering that was to take place under Requiem's banners. Unable to properly interpret Father's teachings following the Vizier's fall into slumber, both followers and officers alike had decided that it was best to bring the organization to an end on good terms.

The bell's ringing to mark midnight went unnoticed, as the banquet lasted well into the early hours of dawn. A final meal was held during the afternoon, after which the followers packed up their belongings, and gathered to bid a final farewell to the premises that had served as their home for upwards to nearly a year. Most proceeded to leave as a group, set to join a new enterprise. A handful left on their own, seeking to chart a different path instead.

The sacred grounds soon fell silent. Only one person remained. The Harjis slowly walked around the now deserted premises, so as to make sure that everything was in order. After making sure that everything was as it should be, he withdrew to the small shrine. Originally a place where services were held, it had been repurposed into the Vizier's resting place in the latter days of the organization.

Somberness filled the air. Hours went by as the Harjis idly sat besides the Vizier, deep in his thoughts. He recollected what had happened in the past year, and pondered about what was to come; such thoughts blended and merged to produce a general bittersweet feel.

The Vizier was the person most apt to interpret Father's teachings. He was also a person with a sense of direction and leadership that was seldom matched. He had known how to rally countless people in times past. While tasked to divulge Father's teaching, he was still seen as a fatherly figure by many of those who continue to fly his banners of old.

Neither his dormant body nor his belongings could be safely moved, less so in the current situation. The bell rang to mark midnight in a cold and serene night. The Harjis still laid in wait.

A small but distinct noise broke the silence. He immediately stood up, instinctively laying his hand on his sword's grip. He walked outside and towards the gates. On the opposite side of the fence stood a man who wore a distinctive green tunic. From top to bottom, the uniform worn by this person was very familiar to him. 

After being presented with a letter and seal that confirmed the person's provenance, the Harjis welcomed him in. Following a night's sleep and a frugal breakfast, both men talked as they slowly walked around the premises, finally arriving at the shrine. The Harjis presented the dignitary with the master key, after which he shook hands with him, laid a final tribute to the Vizier, and left for the gates.

Now outside, Shiho watched as The Syndicate's banner was raised above that of Requiem's, signifying it's new status as an extension of the former. Raindrops gently began to fall in the middle of an otherwise sunny day. He readied his belongings, produced a map from his pocket, and set off for his new destination.

Such marks the end of Requiem.

Most set off in the pursuit of new glories under a new banner and vision. A handful decided to pursue their own paths. A many will have reunion, followed with closure.
 

May it be that all find happiness.

Goodbye Requiem, while things did not pan out how we expected, I'm happy with the decisions that were made and am sure everything will turn out for the better.

it’s good you guys decided to take this path. It was a waste of talent to be huddled up in that group doing not much tbh. Best of luck to y’all in your next projects.

Was a pleasure working with REQ while we had the chance, here's the old pic from our treaty signing as a way to bring it all full circle. Best wishes to all on their paths.
