A Hero's Death.
A hero's death was something that Charles Beckendorf trained for every day. Now that it was staring him in the face, he wanted nothing to do with it. He wanted a long, cowardly life with Silena. But for the chance to keep her safe, he would accept a hero's fate.
A hero's death was too good for Silena Beauregard. She didn't deserve it. But she needed to make things right. She hoped that Charlie would forgive her for her mistakes; he loved her and she loved him. For the chance to see him again, she would accept a hero's fate.
