She took off in the knight's steed to the same lake of dark, murky and shallow waters, where the knight had found her, as she dismounted the horse, she looked in the murky waters and saw a black reflection rising from the waters, the air felt cold, and the mist felt like frost, she knew who was in the water, the one she was promised to meet someday, The angel of Death. Death smiled at the girl and said; "Ahh, we finally shall meet as I promised..."
"I am Death, and I have come to collect you, it is the time". The girl, just stared at the dark figure and saw that he had offered her his hand. The girl took his hand without question and said; "All I cared was for my Knight, and now he is gone, so I have no more reason to be alive, I don't care for nothing anymore, I can't live in a world where he doesn't exist; I don't want to live anymore without him, so please Angel of Death, be merciful to me this time, and take thy life away from me". Death replied to the girl; "That is why I have come, let us dance together, to the underworld"
