I stand ready to face General Darkon, with his ever beating heart that will not extinguish, no matter how many times I hit him with my sword. All of the others are dead and lay behind me with the grief and terror I saw in their eyes before they were cut to death. "So, you want to die that badly to save the future and past of Sergelen and be remembered as the failed hero of its time?" mocked General Darkon.

I stand slowly back up. Ever so ready to kill this black hearted devil and save everyone that I loved and laughed with. They all deserved to be happy and noone deserved to be under this monsters reign. I will not die because the people of this land are all counting on me to save them. "Hmmm fool, don't you already know that you are dead?" sneered the General. "Ha! I already know that because I'm the pure light hero of legend willing to sacrifice my own life to take yours!" I gasped. "Fine, so be it! Come we fight!" raged the monster. I charged at him with all of my might, as lightning flashed outside of the torn down castle.
