Chapter 18

Atreyis struggled under the weight of Ky’s lifeless body. Her hair was twisted up in warrior’s braids reminiscent of the general’s. She wore the same sleeveless black tunic and black pants of the warrior’s. They heavy footsteps of her black boots were muffled by the soft earth. The brightly colored blanket covering the warrior fluttered as she walked. The princess had painted her face with the same black war paint as the warrior had during their first battle together. The black made her sapphire blue eyes pop with intensity. The black lines on her forehead, jaw, and neck made her every inch of intimidating that Ky had been. Thousands were packed into the city to pay tribute to those that had fallen. A few dozen small funeral pyres blazed in the darkness of the night. The bodies had been too numerous for such a display and had been reverently buried. In addition to the pyres were four tall poles covered in strips of cloth. Each one representing a kingdom and the strips were the remains of the fallen. In the center of it all was a large funeral pyre made out of the largest pieces of timber that could be found. Four tattered silk banners hung over it. Blue and silver Aznurro dragons. Deep forest green Xaemoan dragons. Royal purple and yellow Quinmoran dragons. And finally a Khennán black banner with a gold dragon that was painted a vibrant red, a symbolic reclaiming of the warrior’s people. Ehren, Arainya, Kova, Toran, Drax, Joslette, Doan, and Cora stood waiting at the pyre. Atreyis gripped the warrior’s body rightly as a lead ball of grief began growing in her stomach. She fought back, telling the grief that it wasn’t real and that Ky was still out there. The princess walked up the few steps and ceremoniously lay Ky’s body down on a bed of soft moss. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves and pulled the blanket back from her face. Ky’s death pallor nearly matched her white hair. Atreyis bit her lip to try and keep from losing it again. How she longed to see those lavender gray eyes once more. She leaned over and tenderly gave the warrior one last kiss and whispered in her ear.
