The beginning

As the sword drove through her heart, his world stilled. Blood spurt out of her mouth, staining his clothes. 

"No!" He screamed, pushing the demon prince away. 

He quickly swept her up in his arms and pressed down on the wound. But it was too late. The light was escaping from her body intensely. He knew that if it continued, he wouldn't be able to save her soul. Without a second thought, he pushed all his power into her chest. But instead of healing, more blood gushed out of the wound. 

"Aargh!" She screamed in pain, looking at him with eyes full of sadness.

"Please! Stay with me!' he screamed, feeling his powers drain out from his body.

Suddenly she reached out and grabbed his hand, with all the strength that was left in her. 

"Let me go." She begged, "It's no use." She said, tears streaming down her face.

"No! I can't." He sobbed.

She smiled, gazing at him with warmth in her eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispered. 

Before he could react, a brilliant light filled the air, blinding everyone present. It threw him off of her to his horror.

"No!" He screamed as he felt her soul shatter into pieces.
