i will burn alive in the house of gold and bones

Grusha could not pinpoint what, exactly, she had felt as she watched her father's body plumet toward the earth. She had a keen understanding of every living thing's mortality, but she had never thought of her father as mortal. He had been strong, ever burning, all seeing, nearly god-like in the eyes of his skeleton child. But there he was, on the sands of the Dragon's Throat, his flames extinguished.

Disbelief. It was disbelief that she was feeling.

She moved to stand quietly beside her sister and she watched as horses began together around the fallen Wildfire like vultures around a carcass. Disbelief gave way to anger as she watched them all stealing feathers from his and Vorsa's bodies. How dare they! How dare they! Grusha's flesh, in one swift motion, appeared to peel away and she stood there next to her ghostly twin, the two of them looking as if they were the harbingers of death overseeing the fall of the Wildfire.

"Why none of you try to wake Ave?"

Grusha watched the colt that was prodding at the Wildfire's body, trying in vain to wake him. "Stupid." She thought, and she had half a mind to shout at him right then that his Ave was dead. More than anything, she wanted that colt to back away from her father and she wished that she had one of the bones Nashoba liked to play with to throw at him. Instead she used her magic to drag Gaucho's head an inch or so toward the colt and hoped that the movement would make him back away.

But she didn't stay focused on Arakh for long. Not while she had Tae, who was more important than anyone else who had gathered. She turned her skeletal face toward her sister in time to see the tear run down her cheek. Grusha reached forward and brushed the tear away with her muzzle, but remained silent.
