Ordinary humans cannot defeat the ancient evils that have been awakened. Certain death awaits those foolish enough to try. Worse still, the brave souls who fall often return to haunt the living as ghouls and revenants. None have returned alive from the towns that have fallen to their demonic influence.

But he is different. He is one of the few who carry the bloodline of the sword. The things he cannot cut are next to none. Even the most vile and powerful creatures will fall by his blade.

She follows silently behind him, knowing that this is the right choice. Even if he is fated never to return.

Her heart aches painfully at the thought.

...

"This is the border," he says. "Beyond it, your safety can't be guaranteed. The barrier only extends up to this point."

"..."

He was never good with words, and he never needed to be. But at this moment, he wished he could lift this girl's sorrow. He opens his mouth slowly as he thinks of something to say. But in the end, he says nothing.

The swordsman nods at the girl slowly before turning around to leave. He can feel her watching him. Waiting for him.

He does not turn around as a single tear rolls down his cheek.

...

She stood at the edge of the border, watching him walk away. Carrying only a small pack and his trusted blades, he headed deep into the dark woods without turning back. A man of valor, indeed, must put the good of others over his own.

But he was not just a man of valor, nor a swordsman. He was the only man she had ever loved. And she must let him go.

As he disappears into the shadows, her legs begin to shake. Finally, they give way, and she kneels down on the ground. Slowly, she begins to weep.

She did not tell him. She could not tell him.

In the first place, it was supposed to be impossible for such a thing to happen. It went against both the laws of nature and man. But it did happen, and only time will tell if this was a blessing or a curse.

She was pregnant.
