The Bier

The bier was borne by six soldiers, who held it high. She lay in ivory silk with a transparent veil, she had been washed and dressed by Rosalyn, who walked ahead of the bier with Argen. Rosalyn and Argen were in their formal greens and blues, with the white Cavalier’s coats embroidered in their path colors overtop. The cairn the procession made for was atop a green hill, and the tall grass danced to and fro in the warm summer breeze. A nearby tree provided shade over the site; Argen planted and enchanted lilies around the stones. Anya loved lilies.
