It was a grim day and the sky reflected the grey in everyone's heart. After retrieving Shelob's remains, some helped the cemetary keeper dig holes, others helped prepare and dress the bodies for their eternal sleep.
There were befitting obituraries and lifelike sketches of the deceased in the newspaper. The tradesmen worked hard on the tombstones made of finely grained woods and metals interlaced with silver.
The funeral was held at mid-morn, under the angry sky. The villagers passed by the dead saying their final goodbyes and placing in each open casket a small token or trinket of importance, while a sweet soprano voice sang lyrics of haunting beauty of life and loss.
Spiritual and psyche councel were available, but everyone wanted to get the ghastly deed done, another had to die.
Again much speech and again votes tallyed. When The Perky Ent- pipeweed salesman's hit highest, the men came to hog-tie him as well.
"There is no need." said Perky, with his right hand raised palm forward.
"I have always been in service to this village and you have my word that I will not run."
They followed him outside, where he knelt down by the tree, unsheathing his sword. The villagers watched in awe as his countenance grew fair and determined. Perky sang in a language known only to a few elite.
"I hope this will bring the much needed knowledge to help you all, I make my final sacrifice. I lived by the sword and honorably die by the sword." With these final words The Perky Ent-Ranger of the North, plunged his sword through his torso.
