So I got bored, essentially and was writing another story and wanted to write something anyway, so I wrote this. It's sorta awful. But that is not the point.
Here it is anyway.


The Story of Ileana Death-slayer
Once upon a time there was an island country that had a thousand years of prosperity, and then a thousand days of death. A dark necromanceress arose in the land and cast her powerful death spells over the people, converting those slain into living undead who obeyed her every whim. A great darkness fell across our world, lightened only by the struggles of Ileana, who alone roused the people to battle. But the sorceress was clever, and she could afford to wait. Again and again, Ileana pressed with her companions against the forces of the undead, and again and again she was pushed back.
For a long time or a short time they struggled, and from above the most holy and radiant daemon Aetherna saw his chance to divide the land that might otherwise rise to rival his own powers. Twice he tested Ileana’s defense, and twice was rejected by the homeland that remained pure and unsullied by the spreading darkness. The graveyard near the dark citadel, however, Aetherna was able to root his pentagrams in, and the foundations of the kingdom trembled below his enchantments.
Ileana struggled against the forces of oppression, but one by one her companions were killed, and one by one their undead faces leered at her from the other side of the battlefield.
Outnumbered, Ileana led a last stand against her dark nemesis. Valiant they fought but to no avail; even her dagger, imbued with the power to purify the blighted citadel and destroy her enemy, could not defeat the forces raised against her. The last of her companions fell prey to the clutching fingers, and her beloved fell defending her.
Surrounded by the horrific creatures Ileana was brought before her nemesis. Frozen by spells and at blade point Ileana was nearly incinerated by the necromanceress’ black magic, barely escaping when the woman’s hand shook.
Ileana felt the spell holding her still fading, and she held her breath counting heartbeats until she felt it begin to release. Just as the spell vanished, she flicked her dagger, sending it spinning into her enemy’s heart, destroying with its purity all of the dark magic that kept the necromanceress alive. With her dying touch the sorceress caused her creatures to strike at her foe, and both of them fell to their mortality. The undead that remained were left with no power behind them, and crumbled away to dust and ash, leaving only the nightmare of their one-time presence behind.
Aetherna, with no resistance against his schemes, divided the realms and the people. No longer threatened, he left in ruins the land, never minding the destruction that was left behind his plotting.
And that is why the kingdom is three, and we are a divided race.


The end.
