A doubled up hand the one that enclosed the stone lay pallid and limp upon the leaves, and it encouraged the wise old leader to come closer. He had seen a dead warrior in his time, and that warrior's hand had lain upon the grass in just such a way. The old leader took a longer and bolder step forward.
