ahh! cliffhanger! but maybe i solve it now.

Kally spiralled down the long, black pit. Hands clutched at her from the twisting walls, and terrible shrieks filled her head. Covering her ears with her hands didnt help.
Drifting into quiet rest, she relaxed and surrendered to the dark. Until a voice continued to call her name. "Kally?" it sobbed, far away. "Come back!"
Her eyes widened. What was she doing? It hurt to move, to think...yet... Struggling to rise, she clawed at the pit until a shadowy hand helped her up. Bowing to the Dark God, though fear spread through her soul's limbs, she whispered "Thank you" before approaching the shimmering light.
Feeling herself go back into her limp body, she coughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Collun shook Kally by the shoulders. "Kally, please!" he cried, tears streaming down his face. Searching her still face, he hugged her as if he could restore life in her.
A cough caught his attention. Hastily lowering her body to the grass, he stroked her face. "Kally?" She coughed again and rolled to the side. "Kally!"
Slowly, she opened her eyes. Focusing on his face, she smiled weakly. "Collun!" she murmured, joy lighting her face. "I could hear you calling me." Reaching up to wipe away his tears, gravity proved too strong and her hand dropped.
Rolling over slightly, Kally caught sight of Jaron's bloody body and severed head. "Oh Gods!" she moaned, tears sliding down as her cheeks paled. "Collun, did you have to dismember him?"
He groaned. "I wanted to be sure he was dead."
"I'm pretty sure he is now." She turned her back on the mutilated carcass and did not look back. Struggling to stand up, she simply flopped back to the ground, holding her aching head.
Leaning over, Collun picked her up and carried her gently back to his horse. "C'mon, lets go home now." Somehow, they got her in the saddle well enough to recline against him, a difficult operation.

"Daine!" Numair lifted her back up. "Are you alright?"
She grinned shakily. "Sure, im fine. I dont know what just got over me." Smiling, she gazed at his dark eyes. Sparks of magic and worry lingered in them. Concerned, but yet cheerful at being with him again, she leaned on his chest and sighed, satisfied.
A drop of sweat made its way down Numair's face. She was content, but he was in utter agony. "So?" he asked nervously. "Would you? Marry me?"
Hugging him, she laughed. "Of course! Was there any question to that?" Her knees gave way, and she merrily surrendered to the sleep that ached behind her tired eyes.

almost done now, people, just the happy ending left
