Thomas de Hartcold would receive word about his wife's death from a messenger. As the messenger told him of the news he drops down onto his knees clenching at his chest as tears streamed down his face.
"My Auralia... how could... why would anyone... we promised each other that we would raise our children together... we were meant to die together at an old age. What am i supposed to tell Opal and Henry who didn't even get to know you. Seventeen years of marriage together, those seventeen years were the most happiest i have ever been in my life... even if we had some arguments throughout the years but those arguments kept our love stronger than it had ever been before." Thomas would wipe away the tears from his eyes but they would not stop pouring out of his eyes. "I would do anything just to bring you back into this world to help me look after our beautiful children. Forgive me for the times i was not there for you when you needed me most, i will never forgive myself for those times. I want you to know, if you are hearing me now, that you meant everything to me. Please save a spot next to you in the seven skies, for i shall meet you there soon, as i can not live without you. Our children are the only reason i have not ended my life right here and right now." Thomas would remove their wedding ring from his ring finger, tying it around the same chain that he carries a locket of his mother and father on. He would be looking around whilst shaking his head, as if he was having a nightmare on her death trying to save her. He would finally collapse onto the floor, tears streaming out more and more from his eyes as he remembered the fond memories that they had together such as the birth of their eldest daughter, Theresa. He would finally stand up once more, his eyes not full of sadness but of rage "What have i done, oh GOD what have i done leaving my children on their own with no one but their aunt and uncle to care for them. I swear to GOD, that i will hunt every remaining Kha down until i find the one who did this to you" he would say brandishing House de Hartcold's family sword out, waving it in the air as he moved towards his horse, going to ride fast towards the coat to head back to Atlas as quickly as he could.
