Funerals were never the event he wanted to attend. But when the arrangements were made and all was said and done, it was he who would ignite her funeral pyre. When it was time, Noah's arrow aimed true and engulfed the ex-Warden in flames thanks to Deimos' enchantments on his quiver. Pulling the bow back over his head, Noah listened as those gathered gave their words. He sent a silent prayer to Mort, asking the god to offer forgiveness for Morgan's alliance with the Voice and give her soul peace.
Having finished what he needed to do, and not ready to say anything yet, Noah stayed near Sah. The fact that they were at Morgan's funeral was not lost on him. He knew where he was, what these people were experiencing, and the tension in the air was tangible. However, all the demigod could think about was Korbin. He didn't get to have a funeral like this, despite his love for this place and his history within these mountains. He was set to rest on the oceans of Torchline, and it was a shame. When the courier came and said what he could, even as awkwardly as he said it, Noah merely uttered "May she burn brightly."
