The whole original funeral idea came to me in a odd way. Benedict Arnold - the name most synonymous with treachery. He served with great valor for the revolution before turning traitor. He was instrumental in winning the battle of Saratoga. When a monument to the battle was made in the last century all four American leaders involved were remembered. Three have statues with their names. But for Arnold is only an empty niche. No name or statue. And where he was wounded is just the message "Here fell an American Hero."<br>
<br>
Stalin and the Soviet Union also had a history or erasing people.<br>

echoes of their own footfalls. Suddenly he realized that he was hearing just
one set of footsteps and not many. The paladin paused and looked behind him.

smoke and glimmers of light. Even so he recognized the figure. The paladin

their way into the tunnels hewn from the living rock itself. Suddenly the
tunnel ended in a blank, stone face. Set into the wall on the left was an

being plain, bearing only the words "Here lies one of our own," and
nothing else. Beyond it the room had also been unadorned except for an equally
plain sarcophagus.</span></div>

</span>The bird looked no different than when Misha had last laid eyes on his
body. It looks as if he was still alive. The feathers were still visible,
neatly arraigned as always. Except on his chest where the spear that had killed
him had penetrated past the rib cage onto right into the heart.</span></div>

</span>His mind drifted back to all the times they had been together. All the
good and bad times. How often had they gone out to the north. Facing the
dangers together. How often had they spent the night relaxing and having fun?
How many drinks had they shared? How often had they shared meals? For weeks he
had thought of only Baldwin the traitor. Now he thought of Baldwin the friend.</span></div>

</span>A thousand different things that had been going through his mind
vanished. Gone were the questions along with the anger. They just didn't seem
to matter anymore. It didn't matter why he did it. All that remained was regret
at the loss of a good friend and compatriot. "We all do things that we
later regret," Misha said slowly. "Things that felt right but turned
out all wrong. I should have treated you better."</span></div>

real. He felt the cold limbs wrap around him as well. "I wish you well and
