[ Three figures clashed in the Caverns of Creation. ] ( http: //youtube.com/watch? v=GApmQJbcsik ) The first was a knight in armor, with a sword that shone with golden light. Despite his bulk, he moved with an easy grace that spoke to his training and skill. His sword left beautiful trails in the air and chimed like a bell as it deflected attacks. 
 
 `` This is for my father, and for every other person you killed in your mad quest for power! Your dark magic ends here!'' 
 
 The second was a sorceress, tall and imperious, armed with a staff of dark wood. Her jaw was set and her eyes were hard, all of her power focused onto the conflict at hand. She did not move, but a cloak of shadows flowed around her like a living thing, stabbing at the knight with countless tendrils. 
 
 `` You can not stop me. I'll put an end to this world and remake it! No one will hurt us, ever again! *Ever! *'' 
 
 The third was a young girl with a grey cloak and a dagger, cautiously circling around the titanic struggle at the center. Dust and leaves circled around her, and she moved lightly as the wind carried her. Every so often, she would spy an opening, and the wind would whip up into a gale, and she would strike at the knight with blinding speed, before vanishing in a cloud of leaves once more. She did not speak, but she had a look of hard determination in her eyes that matched either of the older warriors. 
 
 All of a sudden, the knight struck, his blinding sword moving even faster. There was a tremendous flash of light, and the cloak of shadows parted like water. The sorceress was unbalanced. [ Falling. ] ( http: //youtube.com/watch? v=VXRN_P9miUc ) Another strike, and her staff was cut in two. The girl in grey launched into motion, her dagger moving to intercept his sword. Too slow. The third strike went through the witch's chest. 
 
 There was a moment of silence as the witch collapsed. Both halves of her staff clattered to the ground. Then the silence was shattered by an awful scream. 
 
 *'' Mother! `` * 
 
 The girl in grey was at the sorceress's side in a flash, pressing her hands uselessly over the wound. `` Mother... please... You ca n't die here. You promised. After this was over, we'd go home, and we'd ride the wind together and we'd...'' 
 
 The knight lowered his shining sword. `` I'm sorry. But she had to be stopped.'' 
 
 The girl in grey turned towards him, blinking back tears. She raised her dagger again, and the wind started to whip around her like a tornado. 
 
 `` You're the one that needs to be stopped. You killed my mother!'' 
 
 `` She was a killer! She burned her way across the continent to claim the Caves of Creation and she did n't care who she hurt to get here.'' 
 
 `` She did this for *me! * Me and every other spirit-touched in the world! She was the only person who loved me. She was the only one who did n't call me a monster!'' 
 
 The storm rose to a fever pitch. Her hair and clothes whipped about in the wind, and she tensed herself to strike at the hero. 
 
 With a gasp of effort, the dying sorceress reached up and placed a hand on the girl's foot. 
 
 [ `` Anna. `` ] ( http: //youtube.com/watch? v=x5JvbD2Zc9I ) 
 
 The sorceress's voice was drowned out by the wind, but the meaning was clear all the same. The storm started to subside, and the girl dropped the dagger and knelt down to clasp her hand. 
 
 `` Mother?'' 
 
 `` Do n't... Please.'' She coughed and spat blood. `` I do n't want to see you die for my mistake.'' 
 
 `` He has to die. He did this to you.'' Anna repeated numbly. 
 
 `` Anna, Everything I did, I did for you. If you die, this will all be for nothing.'' 
 
 `` But what can I do now? You're dying and... I do n't know what to do without you!'' Her tears were falling again, freely. 
 
 `` In our old hideout... A glider...'' the sorceress gasped. `` Was going to be a gift, after we won. Ride the wind.'' 
 
 `` Ride the wind... You promised we'd do that together, when it was all over. You'd build a new kingdom where no one would hate us, and I would n't have to fight with my powers any more. You promised we'd go flying together.'' 
 
 `` I ca n't keep that promise. You're strong, though... You'll... figure it out.'' Her head sank back against the stone floor. `` Go... Be free.'' 
 
 Anna nodded. `` I will. I promise.'' 
 
 She let go of her mother's hand and stood, pulling her cloak tight around her. 
 
 The knight had taken off his helmet and sheathed his sword. 
 
 `` Are you going to be okay?'' 
 
 The girl gave the slightest of nods. Then the leaves swirled around her, and she was gone.

 Edit: Music added. This is my first time adding music to a written work, does it match up well?
