The soldiers stare at Captain and Ermaan and then they do something they never thought they would do. They hold the captives tightly and drag them to the pyre, throw every single one of them in the pyre, hearing crazy, loud screams and then Ermaan took the fire torch in his hand and despite all the shouts and screams, he ignite the wood to begin the process of cremation.
The entire place was filled with the plea of help and loud screams of pain. Yet, Ermaan kept staring at the burning pyre. Some soldiers couldn't bear, but still couldn't move as they had to pay respect to their fellow brothers.

Soon, the sky started becoming clear and the sun was on its way to rise. The pyre had been burned into ashes and the smoke was still coming from the still burning logs of wood. As for the screams and bodies they had long been silenced and had turned into ashes.
