She emanated serenity, filling the air with comfort. Her short hair ruffled in the wind, her hands wrapped around the small orb in her hands. It was a bluish-grey, bringing to mind the color of a storm on the horizon. In it was a swirl of color, crimson dust twisting and spiraling through the glass.
"Our love transcended the gods. We filled the sky with our passion, and the stars echoes with songs of our love. Even in death, our love did not end. He stays here with me, his ashes held captive in glass."
She silently knelt on the dusty earth, raising the orb to the sky. Suddenly auroras filled the sky, deep blue and lake water green, vermillion and a golden yellow. The colors twisted and flew through the air, spiraling into the form of a man. His eyes, green as the algae in a pond, his hair the color of the untouched depths of the sea. 
He knelt down,
And was gone.

If you were in the right place, at the right time, you could faintly see her body plummet down the cliff side and splash into the water below.
