Lyah silently walked the stairs and up to the pyre.She held the scarf tightly in her hands as she looked upon it for the last time.This was her last memento. With this she was alone.Without a word she tossed it into the fire. The gods knew her mind better than she could express them.Lyah looked up, faithful and waiting.
