Death and His Minstrels

The Minstrels of death go out into the night and act as beacons to those who seek it. A mere invitation is all it takes for some, and night after night, the music played by these grim musicians fills the air and minds of the down-trodden. They hold no malice, they only seek unity and comfort with the living who join them in merry dancing. Indeed, the dancing is mandatory, for the closer we are to death the more alive we feel.
