After Erik and others had retreated to the palace, Enkai and the floating carts filled with fallen warriors were the last to enter the city. This quickly brought an air of solemnity to the otherwise joyful city as the people mourned their loved ones.
Later that day, Erik and the others led a funeral ceremony for the dead. Erik was quite curious about the event, as it was interesting to see how the burial methods for the Enkarians had progressed.
He knew that Naeku's people originally consisted of a large group of fleeing Egyptians who integrated into a Maasai tribe thousands of years ago. During that time, many of their traditions became intermingled. Compromises had to be reached, especially regarding the burial of their people.
After all, burial was extremely important to the Egyptians, but the Maasai preferred to leave their corpses behind, claiming they would return to nature.
