Everything was dark, the forests were covered in shadows, the water was no peaceful river any more, and the night was darker than it ever had been before. Fear ruled over the land, to hide, was your only chance to survive. No man, no place was safe any more. Everywhere you went, you see the darkness taken over all of the good things in the world, you'd encounter the filthiest creatures walking on the roads. No bird would sing their beautiful song again; you'd only hear the shouts of dark beasts crawling over the place.
She knew she had to handle quickly, if she wanted to survive and if she wanted to let her men survive this time of evil.
The darkness has reached her land, her residence. All the beautiful things will vanish in the dark. Unless she would do what she had to do. It would be the only chance to save it from the complete darkness of evil spirits.
For a long time she had been thinking about doing it, but she simply did not had the courage for it. But, in one of the last beautiful summer nights, she had seen and felt the evil spreading towards her land. That night, she had decided to do it, to save it from evil.
The white woman sat upon her throne, deeply sunken in thoughts. She had a puzzled look on her face. Her great beauty was grooved by intense worries. Her throne was covered in white, which reflected in her eyes. She was known as the Lady of the Light, with little sparkles in her eyes. But now, the great sparkles of hope were sharply diminuend.
The great wizard entered the hall and woke her up out of her thoughts. He spoke with a softly voice, full of respect towards her. The white woman knew he had the knowledge of many years, to consult her. She knew he would be the link to the only chance she'd left. She knew that all very well.
The time had come.
The lady followed the wizard to wherever he was guiding her. They passed the river, deeply into the woods. The forest was darker than usual and it was quiet, it was awfully quiet in the forest of her home. No noises of animals captured her ears, none at all. The wizard walked fast, almost too fast. He had a restless look on his face. All the time he was looking at things she couldn't see. Together they walked silently through the forest, till they reached the place he was searching for. There, in the middle of an open place in the forest, was a door, covered with golden leaves from the tree. The door was old and the weather had not been nice for it. The door stood there alone, there was no hall or anything behind it. It was just a door...
It was a rather small door, it reached the lady's breast. It was a holy place filled with magic.
The wizard stopped in front of the door and looked at the woman. He said nothing, but took some sort of magic object from behind the door.
The white lady prepared herself, knowing what would happen next. She closed her eyes and reached for her finger. There she took it off and gave it to him. The wizard began to whisper something in an old and forgotten language. And the door began to open slowly. Soon other voices began to whisper the old language. Voices, coming out of the door. Out of the object the wizard was holding, came some sort of greyish fog. The fog made the lady feel dizzy. But this dizziness was no ordinary one, it felt stronger. She felt losing her balance and felt on the floor, everything went black... The last thing she had seen, was the wizard throwing the thing she had given him into the door.

I must say I'm not English, I'm Dutch. And that means my grammar isn't super yet.
And I'm terribly sorry if I made any major mistakes... I hope you don't mind too much.
