I'm sorry-ish, it's sad, angsty, but we love to see it


The air in Glimmer Grove was thick with tension, the sweet scent of blooming flowers tainted by the unmistakable aroma of fear. The once vibrant kingdom now stood on the brink of war, its lush forests and sparkling rivers overshadowed by the encroaching darkness. Katherine, the princess of Glimmer Grove, stood tall and resolute, her black hair flowing like a river of ink down her back. She knew what was coming; she had prepared for it, yet the weight of impending doom hung heavy in her heart.

From the edge of the Evermore, Shelby watched the horizon with a sense of dread. The dark brunette witch had sensed the disturbance long before it reached Glimmer Grove. Her powers allowed her to see glimpses of the future, and what she saw chilled her to the bone. She had warned Katherine, begged her to leave, but the princess was stubborn, bound by duty and love for her people.

As dusk fell, the first wave of the dark forces descended upon Glimmer Grove. Katherine stood at the forefront of her army, her eyes blazing with determination. Shelby was at her side, her magic crackling in the air, ready to protect the one she loved. The battle was fierce, the clashing of swords and the screams of the wounded echoing through the grove.

"Stay close to me," Katherine shouted over the din, her voice steady despite the chaos around them.

Shelby nodded, her heart aching with the knowledge of what was to come. She had seen this moment in her visions, had felt the searing pain of loss long before it became reality. But she couldn't leave Katherine to face it alone.

As the battle raged on, the enemy forces began to overwhelm them. Katherine fought valiantly, her sword a blur as she cut down foe after foe. Shelby's magic created a protective barrier around them, but she knew it wouldn't hold forever. She glanced at Katherine, her dark eyes filled with a mixture of love and sorrow.

"I won't let you die," Shelby whispered, her voice breaking.

Katherine turned to her, a sad smile playing on her lips. "You can't change fate, Shelby. But you can live on. For me."

Before Shelby could respond, a massive explosion rocked the battlefield. The ground shook violently, and the air was filled with a deafening roar. When the dust settled, Shelby saw Katherine lying on the ground, her body broken and bloodied.

"No!" Shelby screamed, rushing to her side. She cradled Katherine in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

Katherine's eyes fluttered open, and she reached up to touch Shelby's cheek. "It's okay," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I did what I had to do. Protect them. Protect our home."

Shelby shook her head, her heart shattering into a million pieces. "I can't do this without you."

"You must," Katherine said, her hand slipping away as the light in her eyes faded. "For Glimmer Grove. For us."

Shelby held Katherine's lifeless body close, her sobs echoing through the now silent battlefield. The darkness that had threatened to consume Glimmer Grove was gone, but so was the light of Shelby's life.

In the days that followed, Shelby buried Katherine beneath a great oak tree, its branches swaying gently in the breeze as if mourning the loss of the princess. The people of Glimmer Grove grieved for their fallen leader, but they found strength in Shelby, who took on the mantle of protector in Katherine's stead.

Years passed, and the grove flourished once more, its beauty a testament to Katherine's sacrifice. Shelby remained a vigilant guardian, her heart forever haunted by the memory of the one she had lost. She often visited Katherine's grave, whispering promises to the wind, vowing to keep Glimmer Grove safe as long as she drew breath.

But the ache of loss never dulled, and the shadows of that fateful day lingered, a constant reminder of the price of love and duty. And so, Shelby lived on, a solitary figure in the ever-changing landscape of Glimmer Grove, her heart forever bound to the memory of a black-haired princess who had given everything to protect her kingdom.
