He set the small vase at the point, and put the single flower in it. A daisy. She had always loved daises.

It was quiet out here. Peaceful. He had waited till Sunset to set out, and spent most of the walk under cover of the night sky. It was at once, as he felt it should be. He was alone. There was a slight chill in the air, and the sky was clear.

Then there wasn't anymore time.

His gaze drifted up, settling on the horizon, fixed north and for a long moment he just sat in the darkness, listening to the wind softly stir the grasses around him.

Then at once, it seemed as if the trance that held him was broken, and his eyes turned down, finding the small flower in the simple clay vase. He reached out, one calloused finger moving gently against the edge of the white petals, a small sad smile coming to his lips in the dark his words barely more than the breeze around him.
