Dialogue

Connor found Achilles in his chair.

• Connor: Old man. Achilles.

Connor took a piece of paper from Achilles' hand after determining he had died. He then went to father Timothy.

• Timothy: What is it?
• Connor: Achilles has passed.
• Timothy: I'm so sorry.
• Connor: He passed peacefully and with dignity.
• Timothy: A service then?
• Connor: Yes. Please prepare something... appropriate. I will see the grave is dug. Can you gather everyone?

While digging the grave, Connor recalled Achilles letter.

• Letter: Connor, if you are reading this, I have failed to say goodbye as I wanted, but the time never seemed appropriate. I leave this land and all its resources to you. I trust you now know this place has become something of great significance. A community to serve as an example of what this would-be nation could become. But the larger and stronger it grows, the more fragile and difficult to defend it becomes. I hope your friends who are birthing this infant country understand this truth. Your unwavering tenacity and honesty have burdened you with responsibility far greater than any one man should bear. But you, if anyone are capable. You have given an old man hope that all is not lost and for that I thank you. I ask that you lay my bones to rest on the hill overlooking the water, there is no other place on this earth I'd rather be. I am grateful to have met you, knowing you will guide this land and these people to a better future. Yours in brotherhood, Achilles.

Everyone gathered for the service.

• Timothy: Prayer and sermon do not suit this occasion. Achilles was not a man of God. Not my  God, at any rate. But he certainly believed in a guiding force, and he is at peace now and for that we can be grateful. We lay him to rest here, atop the bluff where he made his honorable and dignified life, so he can remain that comforting presence - the old man on the hill - that we have all grown to depend on. You all had your own relationships with him, your own moments and I implore you to return here when the time is right for you and share those stories with the waves and the trees. Achilles. You will be missed but never forgotten. Go safely, old man, safely to where your soul need rest.
• Connor: I will make you proud old man.

Outcome

Achilles passed away, and he was buried on the hill behind the manor.
