Ashes From the Hero

The hero stood in the ashes that once held her lover and her home. He told her to choose and the other would burn. She sighed and turned from the ashes and never turned back. One casualty is better than the world she had built. She would grieve over her lover being gone, but would now save their empire in Thyra's name.

Only Thyra knew the truth and she would get it out. Her heart died with her home and she was more than happy to let everyone think she was dead. The hero's lover was dead, but now waking in her death, was a new villain; a villain that would burn the world in their movement.
