Title: To Light a Candle Rating: G Length: 115 words Competitor: Faleron Round/Fight: 2/A Summary: Kel sets a light for Faleron to follow.
-----
A light has forever been what the lost man follows. A captain navigates his ship to the coast, guided by a tower light. The nomad walks the path lit by the bright northern star. A dying soldier is freed from pain when he steps through the end of the tunnel.
For Keladry, she lit a candle and placed it on her windowsill, gazing out into the empty darkness, as she had done every night for the past seven months. Each time, she set the little flame in the window and hoped he would somehow see it. Soon, she prayed, he would find his way back to her.
This light was for the heart to follow.

I might have had a similar idea (thank you, Pete's Dragon)... I hope you don't get offended if I post it!
This is lovely - I like the descriptiveness of the different light sources. I also like the hope that Kel is holding out, praying that Faleron would come home. Made me feel a little weepy!
