Not For Nothing

Estella knelt silently before the grave, laying upon it the flowers she had been holding. She bowed her head for a while, then looked up again, viewing the nineteen graves that lay there in the small yard. Silent tears were streaming down her face.

"They did not die for nothing," she heard a soft, deep voice say behind her. "None of them did, Stella. And they will never be forgotten, as long as we live".

She looked up, smiling vaguely. Merry knelt beside her, taking her hands into his. She squeezed them back.

"I know, Merry," she whispered. "I know".
