This was the first time for Lilac to see such a cruel punishment and she forced herself to watch how those five people burned to their death.
She could see the fear in their eyes, but also determination. The two emotions mixed together along with the flames that burned the haystack inch by inch until the fire licked their hooves spreading faster to their bodies.
For a moment, the commotion from the crowd had died down leaving everything in utter silence, as they solemnly watched how the traitors received their punishment.
The scene before their eyes instilled soul gripping fear in their hearts and was too brutal for those young souls to watch. Their mothers had to cover their children's sight and turn them the other way from the cruel sight.
Most of the female centaurs couldn't bear to watch the people that they had been together through thick and thin to meet their end in this way. They turned around and sobbed silently.
