Ivan made sure Cruzita had a befitting burial. He had ordered the servants to take care of Cruzita's corpse. The servants had cleaned Cruzita's body. Then they dressed her in a white silk gown that covered the cut in her stomach. Her hair had been brushed and a crown of flowers was placed over her head. Light make up was also applied on her face and it was a little surprising to see her with it. She did look beautiful though and I wished she could see herself though.
The snow didn't fall heavily today. The sky was blue and clear, it was as if the heavens were preparing for the arrival of a new guest. When we were done saying a few words for the dead, Ivan handed me the torch so I could burn her casket. I walked towards it with Blue walking closely beside me, giving me his support. I torched the caskets and watched as the flames go up to the sky.
