Chapter 20

• There was a figure covered in a long black, exquisite veil that reached her ankles, sitting in it. The men slowly let the palanquin on the stage and one took off the long veil, and then they ran off the stage.
• The figure was still wearing another long pink veil.
• One of the kneeling dancers got up and walked slowly to the figure and removed the pink veil that covered also her ankles. There was still another veil, but this time it was transparent and reached the knees.
