I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Latin American Spanish into American English.
Translator colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about Mythology. Is okay to translate it as bloody piece of sail??
It's about the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
I hope that all of you are healthy and safe from Covid19.
Here is the full paragraph for your review:
Ariadna se fue con él, le amaba, desde el primer momento en que le vio le amaba, pero se dio cuenta de que su corazón empezaba a endurecerse con la fama. Tenía ante si el sangriento trozo de vela que cubría la cabeza de su hermano

bloodied piece of candle
Ariadne went with him, she loved him, she loved him from the first moment she clasped eyes on him, but she realised that her heart was beginning to harden with fame. She held before her the bloodied piece of candle that covered her brother's head.

patinba
: That makes no sense at all. "Vela" means "sail", a shred of which might be used to cover something.

Adrian MM.
: agree with patinba, of course, vs. Buena Vista Social Club's legendary song - 'Al cuarto de Tula, le cogió candela. Se quedó dormida y no apagó la vela.'

a bloody piece of veil
i reread the two answer before that, and a little summary of the story
if the brother was the minotaur, then he was decapitated and was put in a veil (something like a flat piece of cloth) or the superman cape that the roman elite used, that is why "sangriento trozo de vela" a bloody piece of veil
no candles or boat related
