Motionless ivory tongues of candles tinted thin dead faces. Lingering eyes were upon them as they passed, as if their consecrated rest had been disturbed by their heretic eyes.
The woeful candles of the dead sang their wailings for the fallen captain. The waters were strewn with tears of women in despair and qualms of men forlorn. 405 candles set aflame; their bale fires were numberless, and to each a tale of a warrior lost.
With a new flame added, there they burned – unhonored, until they weaken, fluttering in the evening breeze, and valued as naught but a forgotten memory.
