Aison steps through the consuming fire as it furies towards him it terrifies the thrilled crowd into shriller chants. Feeling the limpness of her once golden skin, he lays her gently down on the wood, when the red and blue fire rages up around him his anger is already at the highest point that can be reached. When Aison searches her honey eyes for any sign of life, he is lost in the clouded version they once were. When he reaches the fire, it is quickly distinguished by his desperation as he grasps her in his arms and weeps into her thick curly ebony hair.

As the final obstacle keeping him from viewing the pyre is removed, he collapses to his knees in his devastated state at the sight of his beloved Kora lying limp. Landing with a loud thud on the thick grey stones, Aison tries to push his way through the crowd who is chanting Hades, which has gathered around a wooden funeral pyre.
