"Sir, what is that?" A soldiers asked Toralf pointing at the tall stack of smoke coming from the direction of Windhelm.

"A funeral pyre, maybe." One of the soldiers suggested.

"No, funeral pyres never have smoke that dense." Another said.

"Or that high." A fourth added.

"You're right." Toralf finally spoke. "That isn't a funeral pyre, that is a signal pyre. They are sending a message."

"What could the message be?" The first soldiers asked.

"I don't know, but it can't be good." Toralf replied. He looked curiously at the smoke, wondering what Windhelm was trying to tell him. He had a bad feeling about this. "Send some scouts closer to the city, have them report back as soon as they catch a glimpse of Windhelm and determine if something is wrong there."

The soldier nodded and went to send the scouts on their assignment.
