章 343: Celebrating Victory

As Hurman rolled up the scroll and stepped back, Vloz nodded to the two men waiting at the top of the stairs. Nixt and Marsel nodded back and descended the steps on either side of the archway. They moved slowly and respectfully, each with a torch in hand.

All looked on with respect as the men neared the two platforms.

"Never forget this moment!" shouted Vloz.

Accepting their cue, Nixt and Marsel both lowered the torches and set the platforms ablaze. Both used their essence to spread the flames around their platforms to ensure that everything caught fire. 

Then, they both backed away slowly. They took in the sight along with everyone else as the fallen were given a final farewell. 

Together, the army and the captives patiently waited. None dared speak out or talk whilst the fires burned. Though Nixt and Marsel stayed nearby to help increase or control the heat as necessary.
