The body is cold.

The weak flicker of candlelight was the only warmth in the room.

The commandant blew on the flame to encourage light to stay strong as he worked to force the same back into those cold - dark eyes.

I gave this to you, he speaks.

But only you can take it, he reaches out.

The flame flickers, those eyes grow colder.

Her dream was mine and it can be yours.

You, his words are embers for fire, are a knight!

Light settles in those eyes, ashes may be stirring.

As you wish.

Alexei blows the flame out.

Oooh... I like thinking of this point in time, and it's such an interesting little perspective on Raven's "resurrection".

This is interesting! Alexei is good at motivating his soldiers, on some level.
