Weirding Willows Funeral Pyre

Every culture has their way of dealing with the dead. Many are based on religious requirements some are not.

In Pellucidar the creatures there believe we are all of the same stuff. That when we die we return what we have borrowed so that it may be used again by some thing else.

Rozalind was a mother to be. She had laid her first eggs and died protecting them. Her unborn children would be present at her funeral with their new guardians from the town of Willow Weir, a town in a place several worlds away.

Rozalind herself was the runt of a pack, an outcast who was raised by a creature from another world. This creature was an odd thing, he smelled of death and he had the scent of many, yet he showed her kindness and became her father.

It is only fitting that Damon, Doctor Frankenstein's creation, give the eulogy this day.
