The world was black. It was night in Ombra. Only the castle walls were tinted red. On the battlements, burning shadows stood guard amongst soldiers of flesh and blood. They were there between the archways, and in the square where the living had gathered, flames taking the shapes of women, men and children. The inhabitants of Ombra had lived in peace for more than five years now. But on this cool September night they remembered all those who had given their lives for this peace.
