Jaffar was running through the woods with the moon as his only light in the darkness. Branches were hitting his body and leaving scratches. He could feel the warm blood trickle down his arms. He had to keep going no matter what. They were after him and he couldn't let anything happen to Nino and the boys.
It was hard to leave them, especially when he promised Nino he would always be with her. An arrow flew by his head and snapped him out of his thoughts.
A twig snapped and he realized that they had trapped him. He hid behind a tree and readied his daggers.
"We have you surrounded, Angel of Death. This is your last day on earth."
"I won't be going alone. I'll take as many as I can with me."
He rushed out and met his first foe. The mercenary tried to spear him with his lance but Jaffar dodged and slit his throat. His dagger also found the stomach of his unlucky companion. Soon he was surrounded with ten soldiers and five archers all aiming at him.
"Not so tough when you are alone. Tell us are you afraid to die?"
Out of nowhere a flame erupted from the trees.
"Burn them in the flames! Turn them to cinder! Elfire!" The men screamed as the flames engulfed them and burned them alive.
"Nino!" Jaffar saw his wife standing in the clearing the fire burned.
"Jaffar! I can't live without you. You promised you would never leave me!"
"They would kill all of us and I can't bear it."
"So you thought you would die all by yourself leaving me alone with our sons? That is so selfish and unfair to me. I love you just as much. So if we are to die, let it be together."
They ran to each other with tears in their eyes. "I'm sorry."
Just as they were about to embrace, an arrow struck Nino's back.
"Ah…." Nino fell into Jaffar's arms.
"NOO! Damn you!" He put her down and ran toward the lone archer in a crazed frenzy. The archer panicked and shot again quickly. It pierced Jaffar's shoulder but he kept going and stabbed the archer in the face. He ran back to Nino.
"Nino, stay with me!"
He held her in his arms and broke the arrow off. His hands were shaking when he tore her cape and tied it around the wound. The situation was familiar as instead of him losing blood it was Nino who was bleeding to death.
"Jaffar…you must raise Lugh and Ray."
"Don't say such things. You will be there with me."
"This is the end for me. Tell them I am so sorry and I love them."
Jaffar picked her up and started running to town. They were both drenched in blood and he fell multiple times. When he made it to the closest town she was taking ragged breaths. He collapsed from exhaustion and loss of blood. Nino crawled to him with her last bit of strength and held his hands as she died.
The local medicine woman took Jaffar in and cleaned his wounds. Nino was dead when they found her grasping onto Jaffar's hands. She was buried in the town's graveyard. After three days of being in a deep sleep, Jaffar disappeared. The woman came into his room to find the bed empty. She never saw him again but rumors say that on the nights with a full moon, like when the woman found them, you can see the Angel of Death watching over his loved one.
